2014-12-13mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debuggingJoonsoo Kim
When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But, this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous situation. This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems. Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so this patch resurrect it. To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in code comment. Please refer it. Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

This could be useful for debug in the future if we want to track major/minor faults more closely, and also avoids the put_page trick we used with gup.

__memcg_kmem_get_cache can recurse if it calls kmalloc (which it does if the cgroup's kmem cache doesn't exist), because kmalloc may call __memcg_kmem_get_cache internally again. To avoid the recursion, we use the task_struct->memcg_kmem_skip_account flag. However, there's no need checking the flag in memcg_kmem_newpage_charge, because there's no way how this function could result in recursion, if called from memcg_kmem_get_cache. So let's remove the redundant code.

2014-12-13memcg: do not abuse memcg_kmem_skip_accountVladimir Davydov
task_struct->memcg_kmem_skip_account was initially introduced to avoid recursion during kmem cache creation: memcg_kmem_get_cache, which is called by kmem_cache_alloc to determine the per-memcg cache to account allocation to, may issue lazy cache creation if the needed cache doesn't exist, which means issuing yet another kmem_cache_alloc. We can't just pass a flag to the nested kmem_cache_alloc disabling kmem accounting, because there are hidden allocations, e.g. in INIT_WORK. So we introduced a flag on the task_struct, memcg_kmem_skip_account, making memcg_kmem_get_cache return immediately. By its nature, the flag may also be used to disable accounting for allocations shared among different cgroups, and currently it is used this way in memcg_activate_kmem. Using it like this looks like abusing it to me. If we want to disable accounting for some allocations (which we will definitely want one day), we should either add GFP_NO_MEMCG or GFP_MEMCG flag in order to blacklist/whitelist some allocations. For now, let's simply remove memcg_stop/resume_kmem_account from memcg_activate_kmem.

2014-12-13mm: cma: align to physical address, not CMA region positionGregory Fong
The alignment in cma_alloc() was done w.r.t. the bitmap. This is a problem when, for example: - a device requires 16M (order 12) alignment - the CMA region is not 16 M aligned In such a case, can result with the CMA region starting at, say, 0x2f800000 but any allocation you make from there will be aligned from there. Requesting an allocation of 32 M with 16 M alignment will result in an allocation from 0x2f800000 to 0x31800000, which doesn't work very well if your strange device requires 16M alignment.

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree modifications. This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write lock.

2014-12-13mm,fs: introduce helpers around the i_mmap_mutexDavidlohr Bueso
This series is a continuation of the conversion of the i_mmap_mutex to rwsem, following what we have for the anon memory counterpart. With Hugh's feedback from the first iteration. Ultimately, the most obvious paths that require exclusive ownership of the lock is when we modify the VMA interval tree, via vma_interval_tree_insert() and vma_interval_tree_remove() families. Cases such as unmapping, where the ptes content is changed but the tree remains untouched should make it safe to share the i_mmap_rwsem. As such, the code of course is straightforward, however the devil is very much in the details. While its been tested on a number of workloads without anything exploding, I would not be surprised if there are some less documented/known assumptions about the lock that could suffer from these changes. Or maybe I'm just missing something, but either way I believe its at the point where it could use more eyes and hopefully some time in linux-next. Because the lock type conversion is the heart of this patchset, its worth noting a few comparisons between mutex vs rwsem (xadd): (i) Same size, no extra footprint. (ii) Both have CONFIG_XXX_SPIN_ON_OWNER capabilities for exclusive lock ownership. (iii) Both can be slightly unfair wrt exclusive ownership, with writer lock stealing properties, not necessarily respecting FIFO order for granting the lock when contended. (iv) Mutexes can be slightly faster than rwsems when the lock is non-contended. (v) Both suck at performance for debug (slowpaths), which shouldn't matter anyway. Sharing the lock is obviously beneficial, and sem writer ownership is close enough to mutexes. The biggest winner of these changes is migration. As for concrete numbers, the following performance results are for a 4-socket 60-core IvyBridge-EX with 130Gb of RAM. Both alltests and disk (xfs+ramdisk) workloads of aim7 suite do quite well with this set, with a steady ~60% throughput (jpm) increase for alltests and up to ~30% for disk for high amounts of concurrency. Lower counts of workload users (< 100) does not show much difference at all, so at least no regressions. 3.18-rc1 3.18-rc1-i_mmap_rwsem alltests-100 17918.72 ( 0.00%) 28417.97 ( 58.59%) alltests-200 16529.39 ( 0.00%) 26807.92 ( 62.18%) alltests-300 16591.17 ( 0.00%) 26878.08 ( 62.00%) alltests-400 16490.37 ( 0.00%) 26664.63 ( 61.70%) alltests-500 16593.17 ( 0.00%) 26433.72 ( 59.30%) alltests-600 16508.56 ( 0.00%) 26409.20 ( 59.97%) alltests-700 16508.19 ( 0.00%) 26298.58 ( 59.31%) alltests-800 16437.58 ( 0.00%) 26433.02 ( 60.81%) alltests-900 16418.35 ( 0.00%) 26241.61 ( 59.83%) alltests-1000 16369.00 ( 0.00%) 26195.76 ( 60.03%) alltests-1100 16330.11 ( 0.00%) 26133.46 ( 60.03%) alltests-1200 16341.30 ( 0.00%) 26084.03 ( 59.62%) alltests-1300 16304.75 ( 0.00%) 26024.74 ( 59.61%) alltests-1400 16231.08 ( 0.00%) 25952.35 ( 59.89%) alltests-1500 16168.06 ( 0.00%) 25850.58 ( 59.89%) alltests-1600 16142.56 ( 0.00%) 25767.42 ( 59.62%) alltests-1700 16118.91 ( 0.00%) 25689.58 ( 59.38%) alltests-1800 16068.06 ( 0.00%) 25599.71 ( 59.32%) alltests-1900 16046.94 ( 0.00%) 25525.92 ( 59.07%) alltests-2000 16007.26 ( 0.00%) 25513.07 ( 59.38%) disk-100 7582.14 ( 0.00%) 7257.48 ( -4.28%) disk-200 6962.44 ( 0.00%) 7109.15 ( 2.11%) disk-300 6435.93 ( 0.00%) 6904.75 ( 7.28%) disk-400 6370.84 ( 0.00%) 6861.26 ( 7.70%) disk-500 6353.42 ( 0.00%) 6846.71 ( 7.76%) disk-600 6368.82 ( 0.00%) 6806.75 ( 6.88%) disk-700 6331.37 ( 0.00%) 6796.01 ( 7.34%) disk-800 6324.22 ( 0.00%) 6788.00 ( 7.33%) disk-900 6253.52 ( 0.00%) 6750.43 ( 7.95%) disk-1000 6242.53 ( 0.00%) 6855.11 ( 9.81%) disk-1100 6234.75 ( 0.00%) 6858.47 ( 10.00%) disk-1200 6312.76 ( 0.00%) 6845.13 ( 8.43%) disk-1300 6309.95 ( 0.00%) 6834.51 ( 8.31%) disk-1400 6171.76 ( 0.00%) 6787.09 ( 9.97%) disk-1500 6139.81 ( 0.00%) 6761.09 ( 10.12%) disk-1600 4807.12 ( 0.00%) 6725.33 ( 39.90%) disk-1700 4669.50 ( 0.00%) 5985.38 ( 28.18%) disk-1800 4663.51 ( 0.00%) 5972.99 ( 28.08%) disk-1900 4674.31 ( 0.00%) 5949.94 ( 27.29%) disk-2000 4668.36 ( 0.00%) 5834.93 ( 24.99%) In addition, a 67.5% increase in successfully migrated NUMA pages, thus improving node locality. The patch layout is simple but designed for bisection (in case reversion is needed if the changes break upstream) and easier review: o Patches 1-4 convert the i_mmap lock from mutex to rwsem. o Patches 5-10 share the lock in specific paths, each patch details the rationale behind why it should be safe. This patchset has been tested with: postgres 9.4 (with brand new hugetlb support), hugetlbfs test suite (all tests pass, in fact more tests pass with these changes than with an upstream kernel), ltp, aim7 benchmarks, memcached and iozone with the -B option for mmap'ing. *Untested* paths are nommu, memory-failure, uprobes and xip. This patch (of 8): Various parts of the kernel acquire and release this mutex, so add i_mmap_lock_write() and immap_unlock_write() helper functions that will encapsulate this logic. The next patch will make use of these. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: "Kirill A.

These additional bytes shift the position of the F30 button data causing the driver to incorrectly report button state when this functionality is present.

Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo: "Work items which may be involved in memory reclaim path may be executed by the rescuer under memory pressure. When a rescuer gets activated, it processes whatever are on the pending list and then goes back to sleep until the manager kicks it again which involves 100ms delay. This is problematic for self-requeueing work items or the ones running on ordered workqueues as there always is only one work item on the pending list when the rescuer kicks in. The execution of that work item produces more to execute but the rescuer won't see them until after the said 100ms has passed, so such workqueues would only execute one work item every 100ms under prolonged memory pressure, which BTW may be being prolonged due to the slow execution.
