Sysfs has a release mechanism.  Use that to release the kmem_cache
structure if CONFIG_SYSFS is enabled.

Only slub is changed - slab currently only supports /proc/slabinfo and
not /sys/kernel/slab/*.  We talked about adding that and someone was
working on it.

revert "mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low"

2014-05-06T20:04:59+00:00

This reverts commit 0bf1457f0cfc ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.

The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.

This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
is obviously worse than the disease.  Revert it.

mm: filemap: update find_get_pages_tag() to deal with shadow entries

2014-05-06T20:04:59+00:00

Dave Jones reports the following crash when find_get_pages_tag() runs
into an exceptional entry:

  kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1347!

  1347                         BUG();

After commit 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
recently evicted pages.

However, as Hugh Dickins notes,

  "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
   any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.

   I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
   radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
   catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
   the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."

And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
in chunks, one radix tree node at a time.  There is plenty of time for
page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
as tagged with a shadow entry.

Remove the BUG() and update the comment.  While reviewing all other
lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

mm/compaction: make isolate_freepages start at pageblock boundary

2014-05-06T20:04:59+00:00

The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages()
starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn.  In a
for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and
then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first
pfn for the next for loop iteration.

This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being
aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all
scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages.  Currently this
can happen when

 a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or

 b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
    enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock

This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in
isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary.  This also permits replacing
the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple
pageblock_nr_pages increment.

mm/page-writeback.c: fix divide by zero in pos_ratio_polynom

2014-05-06T20:04:58+00:00

It is possible for "limit - setpoint + 1" to equal zero, after getting
truncated to a 32 bit variable, and resulting in a divide by zero error.

Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem.  It also
will cause pos_ratio_polynom() to return the correct value when
(setpoint - limit) exceeds 2^32.

Also uninline pos_ratio_polynom, at Andrew's request.

hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported

2014-05-06T20:04:58+00:00

Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`.  I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
  ....

In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:

  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  HugePages_Total:       0
  HugePages_Free:        0
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  Hugepagesize:         64 kB

HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init().  Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment.  I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

slub: fix memcg_propagate_slab_attrs

2014-05-06T20:04:58+00:00

After creating a cache for a memcg we should initialize its sysfs attrs
with the values from its parent.  That's what memcg_propagate_slab_attrs
is for.  Currently it's broken - we clearly muddled root-vs-memcg caches
there.  Let's fix it up.
