The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears.  At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild.  Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs.  Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.

Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.

Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later.  They pose no hurdle.

Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages.  And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.

This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that.  This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.

This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:

  set -e
  mkdir -p pages
  for x in `seq 128000`; do
    [ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] &amp;&amp; echo $x
    mkdir /cgroup/foo
    echo $$ &gt;/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
    echo trex &gt;pages/$x
    echo $$ &gt;/cgroup/cgroup.procs
    rmdir /cgroup/foo
  done

When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:

  [root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
  [...]
  65000
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device

After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

<title>mm: thp: refix false positive BUG in page_move_anon_rmap()</title>

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's
worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again.  It's still wrong for some THP
cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to
addresses before the start of a vma.

That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index();
and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive.  But
why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in
page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for
the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index).

Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment.

And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or
outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest
level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I
think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.

<title>mm: rmap: call page_check_address() with sync enabled to avoid racy check</title>

The previous patch addresses the race between split_huge_pmd_address()
and someone changing the pmd.  The fix is only for splitting of normal
thp (i.e.  pmd-mapped thp,) and for splitting of pte-mapped thp there
still is the similar race.

For splitting pte-mapped thp, the pte's conversion is done by
try_to_unmap_one(TTU_MIGRATION).  This function checks
page_check_address() to get the target pte, but it can return NULL under
some race, leading to VM_BUG_ON() in freeze_page().  Fortunately,
page_check_address() already has an argument to decide whether we do a
quick/racy check or not, so let's flip it when called from
freeze_page().

I'm not sure of the full scenario of the reproduction, but my debug
showed that split_huge_pmd_address(freeze=true) returned without running
main code of pmd splitting because pmd_present(*pmd) in precheck somehow
returned 0.  If this happens, the subsequent try_to_unmap() fails and
returns non-zero (because page_mapcount() still &gt; 0), and finally
VM_BUG_ON() fires.  This patch tries to fix it by prechecking pmd state
inside ptl.

I'm not sure of the full scenario of the reproduction, but my debug
showed that split_huge_pmd_address(freeze=true) returned without running
main code of pmd splitting because pmd_present(*pmd) in precheck somehow
returned 0.  If this happens, the subsequent try_to_unmap() fails and
returns non-zero (because page_mapcount() still &gt; 0), and finally
VM_BUG_ON() fires.  This patch tries to fix it by prechecking pmd state
inside ptl.

early_page_uninitialised looks up an arbitrary PFN.  While a machine
without node 0 will boot with "mm, page_alloc: Always return a valid
node from early_pfn_to_nid", it works because it assumes that nodes are
always in PFN order.  This is not guaranteed so this patch adds
robustness by always checking if the node being checked is online.

early_pfn_to_nid can return node 0 if a PFN is invalid on machines that
has no node 0.  A machine with only node 1 was observed to crash with
the following message:

The problem is that early_page_uninitialised uses the early_pfn_to_nid
helper which returns node 0 for invalid PFNs.  No caller of
early_pfn_to_nid cares except early_page_uninitialised.  This patch has
early_pfn_to_nid always return a valid node.

<title>kasan/quarantine: fix bugs on qlist_move_cache()</title>

<id>0ab686d8c8303069e80300663b3be6201a8697fb</id>

There are two bugs on qlist_move_cache().  One is that qlist's tail
isn't set properly.  curr-&gt;next can be NULL since it is singly linked
list and NULL value on tail is invalid if there is one item on qlist.
Another one is that if cache is matched, qlist_put() is called and it
will set curr-&gt;next to NULL.  It would cause to stop the loop
prematurely.

These problems come from complicated implementation so I'd like to
re-implement it completely.  Implementation in this patch is really
simple.  Iterate all qlist_nodes and put them to appropriate list.

Unfortunately, I got this bug sometime ago and lose oops message.  But,
the bug looks trivial and no need to attach oops.

madvise_free_huge_pmd should return 0 if the fallback PTE operations are
required.  In madvise_free_huge_pmd, if part pages of THP are discarded,
the THP will be split and fallback PTE operations should be used if
splitting succeeds.  But the original code will make fallback PTE
operations skipped, after splitting succeeds.  Fix that via make
madvise_free_huge_pmd return 0 after splitting successfully, so that the
fallback PTE operations will be done.

<title>mm, compaction: prevent VM_BUG_ON when terminating freeing scanner</title>

It's possible to isolate some freepages in a pageblock and then fail
split_free_page() due to the low watermark check.  In this case, we hit
VM_BUG_ON() because the freeing scanner terminated early without a
contended lock or enough freepages.

This should never have been a VM_BUG_ON() since it's not a fatal
condition.  It should have been a VM_WARN_ON() at best, or even handled
gracefully.

Regardless, we need to terminate anytime the full pageblock scan was not
done.  The logic belongs in isolate_freepages_block(), so handle its
state gracefully by terminating the pageblock loop and making a note to
restart at the same pageblock next time since it was not possible to
complete the scan this time.
