mm, vmscan: begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis
This patch makes reclaim decisions on a per-node basis. A reclaimer knows what zone is required by the allocation request and skips pages from higher zones. In many cases this will be ok because it's a GFP_HIGHMEM request of some description. On 64-bit, ZONE_DMA32 requests will cause some problems but 32-bit devices on 64-bit platforms are increasingly rare. Historically it would have been a major problem on 32-bit with big Highmem:Lowmem ratios but such configurations are also now rare and even where they exist, they are not encouraged. If it really becomes a problem, it'll manifest as very low reclaim efficiencies.

mm, mmzone: clarify the usage of zone padding
Zone padding separates write-intensive fields used by page allocation, compaction and vmstats but the comments are a little misleading and need clarification.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the node
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming from different zones.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;
1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
page allocator paths.
2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
always be different to a single-zone node.
it was scheduled on as a result.
3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This
mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.
Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.
The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone
allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are
shown as the other orders were comparable.

----------------
tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce
one class of page aging bug. There were only minor differences in overall

is likely a timing artifact.
stutter

stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.
1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
is required.
3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

freezer, oom: check TIF_MEMDIE on the correct task
freezing_slow_path() is checking TIF_MEMDIE to skip OOM killed tasks. It is, however, checking the flag on the current task rather than the given one. This is really confusing because freezing() can be called also on !current tasks. It would end up working correctly for its main purpose because __refrigerator will be always called on the current task so the oom victim will never get frozen. But it could lead to surprising results when a task which is freezing a cgroup got oom killed because only part of the cgroup would get frozen. This is highly unlikely but worth fixing as the resulting code would be more clear anyway.

mm, oom: tighten task_will_free_mem() locking
"mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" has dropped task_lock around task_will_free_mem in oom_kill_process bacause it assumed that a potential race when the selected task exits will not be a problem as the oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim. Tetsuo was objecting that nommu doesn't have oom_reaper so the race would be still possible. The code would be racy and lockup prone theoretically in other aspects without the oom reaper anyway so I didn't considered this a big deal. But it seems that further changes I am planning in this area will benefit from stable task->mm in this path as well. So let's drop find_lock_task_mm from task_will_free_mem and call it from under task_lock as we did previously. Just pull the task->mm != NULL check inside the function.

mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init
The only case where the oom_reaper is not triggered for the oom victim is when it shares the memory with a kernel thread (aka use_mm) or with the global init. After "mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selected" the victim cannot be a vforked task of the global init so we are left with clone(CLONE_VM) (without CLONE_SIGHAND). use_mm() users are quite rare as well. In order to help forward progress for the OOM killer, make sure that this really rare case will not get in the way - we do this by hiding the mm from the oom killer by setting MMF_OOM_REAPED flag for it. oom_scan_process_thread will ignore any TIF_MEMDIE task if it has MMF_OOM_REAPED flag set to catch these oom victims. After this patch we should guarantee forward progress for the OOM killer even when the selected victim is sharing memory with a kernel thread or global init as long as the victims mm is still alive.

mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twice
oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

mm, oom: kill all tasks sharing the mm
Currently oom_kill_process skips both the oom reaper and SIG_KILL if a process sharing the same mm is unkillable via OOM_ADJUST_MIN. After "mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj" all such processes are sharing the same value so we shouldn't see such a task at all (oom_badness would rule them out). We can still encounter oom disabled vforked task which has to be killed as well if we want to have other tasks sharing the mm reapable because it can access the memory before doing exec. Killing such a task should be acceptable because it is highly unlikely it has done anything useful because it cannot modify any memory before it calls exec. An alternative would be to keep the task alive and skip the oom reaper and risk all the weird corner cases where the OOM killer cannot make forward progress because the oom victim hung somewhere on the way to exit.

mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selected
vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory. They are sharing the mm with parent until they exec into a new code. Until then it is just pinning the address space. OOM killer will kill the vforked task along with its parent but we still can end up selecting vforked task when the parent wouldn't be selected. E.g. init doing vfork to launch a task or vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj to be killable. Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer. In the worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible. OOM killer would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory. It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is the natural entity OOM killer considers. But this will not work because some programs are doing vfork() set_oom_adj() exec() We can achieve the same though. oom_score_adj write handler can set the oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in the middle of vfork. As a result all the processes will share the same oom_score_adj. The current implementation is rather pessimistic and checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1 holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external users yet.

Big part of the logic is duplicated so extract the common code into __set_oom_adj helper. Legacy knob still expects some details slightly different so make sure those are handled same way - e.g. the legacy mode ignores oom_score_adj_min and it warns about the usage.

proc, oom: drop bogus task_lock and mm check
Series "Handle oom bypass more gracefully", V5
The following 10 patches should put some order to very rare cases of mm
shared between processes and make the paths which bypass the oom killer
oom reapable and therefore much more reliable finally. Even though mm
shared outside of thread group is rare (either vforked tasks for a short
period, use_mm by kernel threads or exotic thread model of
clone(CLONE_VM) without CLONE_SIGHAND) it is better to cover them. Not
only it makes the current oom killer logic quite hard to follow and
reason about it can lead to weird corner cases. E.g. it is possible to
select an oom victim which shares the mm with unkillable process or
bypass the oom killer even when other processes sharing the mm are still
alive and other weird cases.
Patch 1 drops bogus task_lock and mm check from oom_{score_}adj_write.
This can be considered a bug fix with a low impact as nobody has noticed
for years.
Patch 2 drops sighand lock because it is not needed anymore as pointed
by Oleg.
Patch 3 is a clean up of oom_score_adj handling and a preparatory work
for later patches.
Patch 4 enforces oom_adj_score to be consistent between processes
sharing the mm to behave consistently with the regular thread groups.
This can be considered a user visible behavior change because one thread
group updating oom_score_adj will affect others which share the same mm
via clone(CLONE_VM). I argue that this should be acceptable because we
already have the same behavior for threads in the same thread group and
sharing the mm without signal struct is just a different model of
threading. This is probably the most controversial part of the series,
I would like to find some consensus here. There were some suggestions
to hook some counter/oom_score_adj into the mm_struct but I feel that
this is not necessary right now and we can rely on proc handler +
oom_kill_process to DTRT. I can be convinced otherwise but I strongly
think that whatever we do the userspace has to have a way to see the
current oom priority as consistently as possible.
Patch 5 makes sure that no vforked task is selected if it is sharing the
mm with oom unkillable task.
Patch 6 ensures that all user tasks sharing the mm are killed which in
turn makes sure that all oom victims are oom reapable.
Patch 7 guarantees that task_will_free_mem will always imply reapable
bypass of the oom killer.
Patch 8 is new in this version and it addresses an issue pointed out by
0-day OOM report where an oom victim was reaped several times.
Patch 9 puts an upper bound on how many times oom_reaper tries to reap a
task and hides it from the oom killer to move on when no progress can be
made. This will give an upper bound to how long an oom_reapable task
can block the oom killer from selecting another victim if the oom_reaper
is not able to reap the victim.
Patch 10 tries to plug the (hopefully) last hole when we can still lock
up when the oom victim is shared with oom unkillable tasks (kthreads and
global init). We just try to be best effort in that case and rather
fallback to kill something else than risk a lockup.
This patch (of 10):
Both oom_adj_write and oom_score_adj_write are using task_lock, check for
task->mm and fail if it is NULL. This is not needed because the
oom_score_adj is per signal struct so we do not need mm at all. The code
has been introduced by

Add braces to avoid "ambiguous ‘else’" compiler warnings
Some of our "for_each_xyz()" macro constructs make gcc unhappy about
lack of braces around if-statements inside or outside the loop, because
the loop construct itself has a "if-then-else" statement inside of it.
The resulting warnings look something like this:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c: In function ‘i915_dump_lrc’:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c:2103:6: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’ [-Wparentheses]
if (ctx != dev_priv->kernel_context)
^
even if the code itself is fine.
Since the warning is fairly easy to avoid by adding a braces around the
if-statement near the for_each_xyz() construct, do so, rather than
disabling the otherwise potentially useful warning.
(The if-then-else statements used in the "for_each_xyz()" constructs are
designed to be inherently safe even with no braces, but in this case
it's quite understandable that gcc isn't really able to tell that).
This finally leaves the standard "allmodconfig" build with just a
handful of remaining warnings, so new and valid warnings hopefully will
stand out.

Disable "frame-address" warning
Newer versions of gcc warn about the use of __builtin_return_address()
with a non-zero argument when "-Wall" is specified:
kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function ‘stop_critical_timings’:
kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:433:86: warning: calling ‘__builtin_return_address’ with a nonzero argument is unsafe [-Wframe-address]
stop_critical_timing(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1);
[ .. repeats a few times for other similar cases .. ]
It is true that a non-zero argument is somewhat dangerous, and we do not
actually have very many uses of that in the kernel - but the ftrace code
does use it, and as Stephen Rostedt says:
"We are well aware of the danger of using __builtin_return_address() of
> 0. In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in
x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S). [..] it adds extra frames
when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address()
from accessing bad areas. In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to
trace irqs off. (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'."
For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best
we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people
miss other warnings for real problems.
So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it.

Merge tag 'spi-v4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi
Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
"Quite a lot of cleanup and maintainence work going on this release in
various drivers, and also a fix for a nasty locking issue in the core:
- A fix for locking issues when external drivers explicitly locked
the bus with spi_bus_lock() - we were using the same lock to both
control access to the physical bus in multi-threaded I/O operations
and exclude multiple callers.
Confusion between these two caused us to have scenarios where we
were dropping locks. These are fixed by splitting into two
separate locks like should have been done originally, making
everything much clearer and correct.
- Support for DMA in spi_flash_read().
- Support for instantiating spidev on ACPI systems, including some
test devices used in Windows validation.
- Use of the core DMA mapping functionality in the McSPI driver.
- Start of support for ThunderX SPI controllers, involving a very big
set of changes to the Cavium driver.
- Support for Braswell, Exynos 5433, Kaby Lake, Merrifield, RK3036,
RK3228, RK3368 controllers"

Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally
Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example. Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough) that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized. The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning that causes more problems than the warning can solve. If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"The major addition is the new iomap based block mapping
infrastructure. We've been kicking this about locally for years, but
there are other filesystems want to use it too (e.g. gfs2). Now it
is fully working, reviewed and ready for merge and be used by other
filesystems.
There are a lot of other fixes and cleanups in the tree, but those are
XFS internal things and none are of the scale or visibility of the
iomap changes. See below for details.
I am likely to send another pull request next week - we're just about
ready to merge some new functionality (on disk block->owner reverse
mapping infrastructure), but that's a huge chunk of code (74 files
changed, 7283 insertions(+), 1114 deletions(-)) so I'm keeping that
separate to all the "normal" pull request changes so they don't get
lost in the noise.
Summary of changes in this update:
- generic iomap based IO path infrastructure
- generic iomap based fiemap implementation
- xfs iomap based Io path implementation
- buffer error handling fixes
- tracking of in flight buffer IO for unmount serialisation
- direct IO and DAX io path separation and simplification
- shortform directory format definition changes for wider platform
compatibility
- various buffer cache fixes
- cleanups in preparation for rmap merge
- error injection cleanups and fixes
- log item format buffer memory allocation restructuring to prevent
rare OOM reclaim deadlocks
- sparse inode chunks are now fully supported"

ipmi: remove trydefaults parameter and default init
Parameter trydefaults=1 causes the ipmi_init to initialize ipmi through the legacy port io space that was designated for ipmi. Architectures that do not map legacy port io can panic when trydefaults=1. Rather than implement build-time conditional exceptions for each architecture that does not map legacy port io, we have removed legacy port io from the driver. Parameter 'trydefaults' has been removed. Attempts to use it hereafter will evoke the "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter" message. The patch was built against a number of architectures and tested for regressions and functionality on x86_64 and ARM64. Signed-off-by: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com> Removed the config entry and the address source entry for default, since neither were used any more.

be2net: perform temperature query in adapter regardless of its interface state
The be2net driver performs fw temperature queries on be_worker() routine, which is executed each second for each be_adapter. There is a frequency threshold to avoid fw query to happens at each call to be_worker(); instead, currently a fw query occurs once in 64 runs of the procedure. Nevertheless, this fw temperature query is invoked only for adapters which interface is up, so we can see I/O errors on read of hwmon counters from userspace (from tools like lm-sensors) in case we have adapters' functions which interface is down. This patch moves the fw query code to be invoked even if interface is down. No functional changes were introduced. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.
