clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic
clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and
it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
call entry point across architectures.
The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
into this.
These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these
two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and
send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
anyone would prefer that.
This patch (of 2):
clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument
tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
in).
Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the
clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
position of the tls argument.
However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.
Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls
argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
that down to copy_thread_tls.
Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
syscall.

Cleanup commit 73679e508201 ("compiler-intel.h: Remove duplicate
definition") removed the double definition of __memory_barrier()
intrinsics.
However, in doing so, it also removed the preceding #undef barrier by
accident, meaning, the actual barrier() macro from compiler-gcc.h with
inline asm is still in place as __GNUC__ is provided.
Subsequently, barrier() can never be defined as __memory_barrier() from
compiler.h since it already has a definition in place and if we trust
the comment in compiler-intel.h, ecc doesn't support gcc specific asm
statements.
I don't have an ecc at hand (unsure if that's still used in the field?)
and only found this by accident during code review, a revert of that
cleanup would be simplest option.

Commit 818411616baf ("fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children
entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
I would like to use it in rkt. The rkt process exec() another program
it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
process. I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.
This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it. This allows enabling
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children without needing to enable
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.
Alban tested that /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children is present when the
kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline
/proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with

People noticed and ask questions:

seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and
open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory. To
not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary

I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line

The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control

comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
error:
"zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs. echo
-n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name. it works fine
when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
which takes care of new line symbols. however, it doesn't look nice when
we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
compressing backend
cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend
we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().

We currently don't support on-demand device creation. The one and only
way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter
(default value: 1). IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1. And do
this again, if needed.
This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
- hot_add -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim). read operation performed
on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or
error status.
Usage example:
# add a new specific zram device
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
2
# remove a specific zram device
echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case)
[ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ]
Commit ba6b17d68c8e ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race
condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount
and reset. At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature
so it was okay.
However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
trouble.
The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.
To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
for zram_remove ayn more.
This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)

This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks.
No functional changes.
Our current code layout looks like a sandwitch.
For example,
a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function:
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static inline void update_used_max
static int zram_bvec_write
static int zram_bvec_rw
b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by
sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device()
handler:
c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of
one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper
functions again, and so on.
Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description,
`cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture):
-- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc.
-- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc
-- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats
show() functions
exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after
meta() functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these
sysfs handlers.

mm, thp: respect MPOL_PREFERRED policy with non-local node
Since commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.
This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.
The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.
In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.
The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.
Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".
After the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.183 s/loop, 0.274 ms/page, 7295.516 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1760 different pages
on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun
issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be
getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the
other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF).

mm/memory hotplug: print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot add memory
When hot add two nodes continuously, we found the vmemmap region info is
a bit messed. The last region of node 2 is printed when node 3 hot
added, like the following:
The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory,
and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to
a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print
the previous one. So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot
add memory to avoid the confusion.
The simple check for zero length memory mapping may be performed
earlier. So that in case of zero length memory mapping some unnecessary
code is not executed at all. It does not make the code less readable
and saves some CPU cycles.

mm: kmemleak: optimise kmemleak_lock acquiring during kmemleak_scan
The kmemleak memory scanning uses finer grained object->lock spinlocks
primarily to avoid races with the memory block freeing. However, the
pointer lookup in the rb tree requires the kmemleak_lock to be held.
This is currently done in the find_and_get_object() function for each
pointer-like location read during scanning. While this allows a low
latency on kmemleak_*() callbacks on other CPUs, the memory scanning is
slower.
This patch moves the kmemleak_lock outside the scan_block() loop,
acquiring/releasing it only once per scanned memory block. The
allow_resched logic is moved outside scan_block() and a new
scan_large_block() function is implemented which splits large blocks in
MAX_SCAN_SIZE chunks with cond_resched() calls in-between. A redundant
(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN) check is also removed from
scan_object().
With this patch, the kmemleak scanning performance is significantly
improved: at least 50% with lock debugging disabled and over an order of
magnitude with lock proving enabled (on an arm64 system).

While very unlikely (usually kmemleak or sl*b bug), the create_object()

additional information about the object already found in the rb tree.

small risk that some of the object data is being modified on another CPU
but the only downside is inconsistent information printing.

mm: kmemleak: fix delete_object_*() race when called on the same memory block
Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case
(unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()). However,
during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a
potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU.
The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up
holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then
re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and
object_list.
This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up
and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list
atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock). This allows safe concurrent
calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional
locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag.
A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance
by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing
object->use_count.

mm: kmemleak: allow safe memory scanning during kmemleak disabling
The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes. Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock. Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ... -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().
When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g. it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects. If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()). This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.
This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed. The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

memcg: convert mem_cgroup->under_oom from atomic_t to int
memcg->under_oom tracks whether the memcg is under OOM conditions and is
an atomic_t counter managed with mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom(). While
atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a
synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone
due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and
false sense of security.
For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit
problematic although not being actually broken.
* mem_cgroup_oom_register_event()
It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event

Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any

previously registered implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous
implementation that the new implementation is expected to pass all
frontswap functions to if it can't handle the function itself. However
that method doesn't really make much sense, as passing that work on to
every implementation adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead,
frontswap should simply keep a list of all registered implementations
and try each implementation for any function. Most importantly, neither
of the two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel

they replace when registering.
This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations by

mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths
page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and

add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the

This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

mm/hugetlb: document the reserve map/region tracking routines
While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race
in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in
the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages
to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of
hitting this race will increase.
alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve
map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the
operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The
order of operations is as follows:
- call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map
- determine if enough resources are available for this operation
- adjust global counts based on the expected change
- call region_add() to update the reserve map
The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg
and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on
the output of region_chg will not be correct.
In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb
mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge
page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the
same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag.
The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds
simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is
detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted.
Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing
region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in
this area.

This patch add a event at ras group for memory-failure.
That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and
dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge. The annotation shows that the bulk
of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot
but is very expensive. The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate
is called just before the check which is a write barrier. It is
required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the
PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace. memcg charging does
not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so
this patch attempts the charging before the barrier. Aside from the
accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is
avoided if the page cannot be charged. When applied the relevant
profile summary is as follows.
That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault
accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement. The difference
in headline performance of the page fault microbench is marginal as

hugetlb: do not account hugetlb pages as NR_FILE_PAGES
hugetlb pages uses add_to_page_cache to track shared mappings. This is
OK from the data structure point of view but it is less so from the
NR_FILE_PAGES accounting:
- huge pages are accounted as 4k which is clearly wrong
- this counter is used as the amount of the reclaimable page
cache which is incorrect as well because hugetlb pages are
special and not reclaimable
- the counter is then exported to userspace via /proc/meminfo
(in Cached:), /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo as
nr_file_pages which is confusing at least:
Cached: 8883504 kB
HugePages_Free: 8348
...
Cached: 8916048 kB
HugePages_Free: 156
...
thats 8192 huge pages allocated which is ~16G accounted as 32M
There are usually not that many huge pages in the system for this to
make any visible difference e.g. by fooling __vm_enough_memory or
zone_pagecache_reclaimable.
Fix this by special casing huge pages in both __delete_from_page_cache
and __add_to_page_cache_locked. replace_page_cache_page is currently
only used by fuse and that shouldn't touch hugetlb pages AFAICS but it
is more robust to check for special casing there as well.
Hugetlb pages shouldn't get to any other paths where we do accounting:
- migration - we have a special handling via
hugetlbfs_migrate_page
- shmem - doesn't handle hugetlb pages directly even for
SHM_HUGETLB resp. MAP_HUGETLB
- swapcache - hugetlb is not swapable
This has a user visible effect but I believe it is reasonable because the
previously exported number is simply bogus.
An alternative would be to account hugetlb pages with their real size and
treat them similar to shmem. But this has some drawbacks.
First we would have to special case in kernel users of NR_FILE_PAGES and
considering how hugetlb is special we would have to do it everywhere. We
do not want Cached exported by /proc/meminfo to include it because the
value would be even more misleading.
__vm_enough_memory and zone_pagecache_reclaimable would have to do the
same thing because those pages are simply not reclaimable. The correction
is even not trivial because we would have to consider all active hugetlb
page sizes properly. Users of the counter outside of the kernel would
have to do the same.
So the question is why to account something that needs to be basically
excluded for each reasonable usage. This doesn't make much sense to me.
It seems that this has been broken since hugetlb was introduced but I
haven't checked the whole history.

The zonelist locking and the oom_sem are two overlapping locks that are

The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with
overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks
than necessary in the same memory domain. Only when neither tasklists nor
zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs
bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel.
The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against
the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether.
However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no
reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills. And
the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant.

kills regardless of context.

Stress testing showed that soft offline events for a process iterating
"mmap-pagefault-munmap" loop can trigger
VM_BUG_ON(PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) in __free_one_page():
When soft offline successfully migrates page, the source page is supposed
to be freed. But there is a race condition where a source page looks
isolated (i.e. the refcount is 0 and the PageHWPoison is set) but
somewhat linked to pcplist. Then another soft offline event calls
drain_all_pages() and tries to free such hwpoisoned page, which is
forbidden.
This odd page state seems to happen due to the race between put_page() in
putback_lru_page() and __pagevec_lru_add_fn(). But I don't want to play
with tweaking drain code as done in commit 9ab3b598d2df "mm: hwpoison:
drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()", or to change page
freeing code for this soft offline's purpose.
Instead, let's think about the difference between hard offline and soft
offline. There is an interesting difference in how to isolate the in-use
page between these, that is, hard offline marks PageHWPoison of the target
page at first, and doesn't free it by keeping its refcount 1. OTOH, soft
offline tries to free the target page then marks PageHWPoison. This
difference might be the source of complexity and result in bugs like the
above. So making soft offline isolate with keeping refcount can be a
solution for this problem.
We can pass to page migration code the "reason" which shows the caller, so
let's use this more to avoid calling putback_lru_page() when called from
soft offline, which effectively does the isolation for soft offline. With
this change, target pages of soft offline never be reused without changing
migratetype, so this patch also removes the related code.

mm/memory-failure: introduce get_hwpoison_page() for consistent refcount handling
memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by
MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective. When
MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller
takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared, memory_failure()
takes it in it's own.
In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller.
For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and
hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent
refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages.
Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page().
To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page()
to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison
code.
memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns

on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps. So
this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp"

but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized. In
such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for
hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate().
2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with
SWAP_SUCCESS and the result is the same as case 1.
memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier,
which also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and
thp.

mm: rename RECLAIM_SWAP to RECLAIM_UNMAP
The name SWAP implies that we are dealing with anonymous pages only. In
fact, the original patch that introduced the min_unmapped_ratio logic
was to fix an issue related to file pages. Rename it to RECLAIM_UNMAP
to match what does.
Historically, commit a6dc60f8975a ("vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to
may_unmap") renamed .may_swap to .may_unmap, leaving RECLAIM_SWAP
behind. commit 2e2e42598908 ("vmscan,memcg: reintroduce sc->may_swap")
reintroduced .may_swap for memory controller.

Node 2 has no free memory, because:
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB/nr_hugepages
1
This leads to the following zoneinfo:
Node 2, zone DMA
pages free 0
min 1840
low 2300
high 2760
scanned 0
spanned 262144
present 262144
managed 262144
...
all_unreclaimable: 1
If one then attempts to allocate some normal 16M hugepages via
echo 37 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
The echo never returns and kswapd2 consumes CPU cycles.
This is because throttle_direct_reclaim ends up calling
wait_event(pfmemalloc_wait, pfmemalloc_watermark_ok...).
pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() in turn checks all zones on the node if there
are any reserves, and if so, then indicates the watermarks are ok, by
seeing if there are sufficient free pages.
675becce15 added a condition already for memoryless nodes. In this case,
though, the node has memory, it is just all consumed (and not
reclaimable). Effectively, though, the result is the same on this call to
pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() and thus seems like a reasonable additional
condition.
With this change, the afore-mentioned 16M hugepage allocation attempt
succeeds and correctly round-robins between Nodes 1 and 3.

we can call clear_highpage from any context. So we remove prep_zero_pages

mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages
Reintroduce 8d63d99a5dfb ("mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP
compound pages") after removing bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in
put_unrefcounted_compound_page().
THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time.
Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and
it's harmful because of overhead.
We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using
__compound_tail_refcounted() check. It excludes most common non-THP
compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP
users -- drivers.
And it's not only about overhead.
Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics
suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace. But tail page
refcounting breaks it.
Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on
them. It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages.
It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages. But unlike
THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes
page_mapcount() be called for tail pages.
In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for
such pages. But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or
other serious misbehaviour.
Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not,
we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon()
to enable tail page refcounting.

The problem can be reproduced by playing *two* audio files at the same
time and then stopping one of players. I used two mplayers to trigger
this.
The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() which triggers the bug is bogus:
Sound subsystem uses compound pages for its buffers, but unlike most
__GFP_COMP sound maps compound pages to userspace with PTEs.
In our case with two players map the buffer twice and therefore elevates
page_mapcount() on tail pages by two. When one of players exits it
unmaps the VMA and drops page_mapcount() to one and try to release
reference on the page with put_page().
My commit changes which path it takes under put_compound_page(). It hits
put_unrefcounted_compound_page() where VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is. It sees
page_mapcount() == 1. The function wrongly assumes that subpages of
compound page cannot be be mapped by itself with PTEs..
The solution is simply drop the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().
Note: there's no need to move the check under put_page_testzero().
Allocator will check the mapcount by itself before putting on free list.

For !CONFIG_NUMA, hashdist will always be 0, since it's setter is
otherwise compiled out. So we can save 4 bytes of data and some .text

CONFIG_NUMA.
