mm, oom: remove unnecessary exit_state check

The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible
for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of
concurrent memory freeing.  It will abort when an eligible process is
found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and
we're waiting for it to exit.

Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they
are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing
them would not lead to memory freeing.  That memory is only freed after
exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to
NULL.

Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process
is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has
returned.  This was fragile in the past because it relied on
exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE
processes.

ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.

should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE.  If it

movable memory.  If new memory is higher than movable, it should be

Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target

transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed.

However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which
may suffer from additional access latency.  With the current policy, it
is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed
remotely if the majority are allocated from that node.

When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every
attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation.  In
this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that
would suffer from increased access latency.  Thus, when
zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with

mm: page_alloc: reduce cost of the fair zone allocation policy

The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim.  If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.

One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified.  This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates.  Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.

On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%.  On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes.  The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

On x86-64 for example

o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
  accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
  allocation policy.

o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area

  reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
  line on a stat update

This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly

zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines.  Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the

noticable.  However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the

Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created.

After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all
firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list.  As a result, memmap 33 sysfs
for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created.  But kobject of
entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs.  So when creating memmap 35
sysfs, the kobject is broken.

If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of
memmap 0 sysfs is freed.  But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35
sysfs.  So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs.

This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory

CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionality

Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA
subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc.  They have their own code
to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar.  From my
guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management.  KVM side wants
to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size.  Eventually it use
bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages.

When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places
to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me.  I want to change
this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this
patch.

This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new
feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying &
pasting this reserved area management code.

In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA
reserved area management and now it's time to do it.  This patch moves
core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions.

There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

vmalloc: use rcu list iterator to reduce vmap_area_lock contention

Richard Yao reported a month ago that his system have a trouble with
vmap_area_lock contention during performance analysis by /proc/meminfo.
Andrew asked why his analysis checks /proc/meminfo stressfully, but he
didn't answer it.

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/10/416

Although I'm not sure that this is right usage or not, there is a
solution reducing vmap_area_lock contention with no side-effect.  That
is just to use rcu list iterator in get_vmalloc_info().

rcu can be used in this function because all RCU protocol is already
respected by writers, since Nick Piggin commit db64fe02258f1 ("mm:
rewrite vmap layer") back in linux-2.6.28

Specifically :
   insertions use list_add_rcu(),
   deletions use list_del_rcu() and kfree_rcu().

Note the rb tree is not used from rcu reader (it would not be safe),
only the vmap_area_list has full RCU protection.

Note that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() already uses this rcu protection.

        rcu_read_lock();
        list_for_each_entry_rcu(va, &vmap_area_list, list) {
                if (va->flags & VM_LAZY_FREE) {
                        if (va->va_start < *start)
                                *start = va->va_start;
                        if (va->va_end > *end)
                                *end = va->va_end;
                        nr += (va->va_end - va->va_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
                        list_add_tail(&va->purge_list, &valist);
                        va->flags |= VM_LAZY_FREEING;
                        va->flags &= ~VM_LAZY_FREE;
                }
        }
        rcu_read_unlock();

Peter:

: While rcu list traversal over the vmap_area_list is safe, this may
: arrive at different results than the spinlocked version. The rcu list
: traversal version will not be a 'snapshot' of a single, valid instant
: of the entire vmap_area_list, but rather a potential amalgam of
: different list states.

Joonsoo:

: Yes, you are right, but I don't think that we should be strict here.
: Meminfo is already not a 'snapshot' at specific time.  While we try to get
: certain stats, the other stats can change.  And, although we may arrive at
: different results than the spinlocked version, the difference would not be
: large and would not make serious side-effect.

mm, slub: fix some indenting in cmpxchg_double_slab()

The return statement goes with the cmpxchg_double() condition so it needs
to be indented another tab.

Also these days the fashion is to line function parameters up, and it
looks nicer that way because then the "freelist_new" is not at the same
indent level as the "return 1;".

with holding the kmem_cache node lock.  Holding the lock is useless and,
generally, holding a lock as least as possible is good thing.  I never
measure performance effect of this, but we'd be better not to hold the
lock as much as possible.

Commented by Christoph:
  This is also good because kmem_cache_free is no longer called while
  holding the node lock. So we avoid one case of recursion.
