Merge branch 'mm-rst' into docs-next

Mike Rapoport says:

  These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an
  initial index and link it to the top level documentation.

  There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
  fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
  paragraph wrapping changes.

  I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
  miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
  necessary.

+ Basically, the new setup is:
+
+  - we have "real address spaces" and "anonymous address spaces". The
+    difference is that an anonymous address space doesn't care about the
+    user-level page tables at all, so when we do a context switch into an
+    anonymous address space we just leave the previous address space
+    active.
+
+    The obvious use for a "anonymous address space" is any thread that
+    doesn't need any user mappings - all kernel threads basically fall into
+    this category, but even "real" threads can temporarily say that for
+    some amount of time they are not going to be interested in user space,
+    and that the scheduler might as well try to avoid wasting time on
+    switching the VM state around. Currently only the old-style bdflush
+    sync does that.
+
+  - "tsk->mm" points to the "real address space". For an anonymous process,
+    tsk->mm will be NULL, for the logical reason that an anonymous process
+    really doesn't _have_ a real address space at all.
+
+  - however, we obviously need to keep track of which address space we
+    "stole" for such an anonymous user. For that, we have "tsk->active_mm",
+    which shows what the currently active address space is.
+
+    The rule is that for a process with a real address space (ie tsk->mm is
+    non-NULL) the active_mm obviously always has to be the same as the real
+    one.
+
+    For a anonymous process, tsk->mm == NULL, and tsk->active_mm is the
+    "borrowed" mm while the anonymous process is running. When the
+    anonymous process gets scheduled away, the borrowed address space is
+    returned and cleared.
+
+ To support all that, the "struct mm_struct" now has two counters: a
+ "mm_users" counter that is how many "real address space users" there are,
+ and a "mm_count" counter that is the number of "lazy" users (ie anonymous
+ users) plus one if there are any real users.
+
+ Usually there is at least one real user, but it could be that the real
+ user exited on another CPU while a lazy user was still active, so you do
+ actually get cases where you have a address space that is _only_ used by
+ lazy users. That is often a short-lived state, because once that thread
+ gets scheduled away in favour of a real thread, the "zombie" mm gets
+ released because "mm_users" becomes zero.
+
+ Also, a new rule is that _nobody_ ever has "init_mm" as a real MM any
+ more. "init_mm" should be considered just a "lazy context when no other
+ context is available", and in fact it is mainly used just at bootup when
+ no real VM has yet been created. So code that used to check
+
+ 	if (current->mm == &init_mm)
+
+ should generally just do
+
+ 	if (!current->mm)
+
+ instead (which makes more sense anyway - the test is basically one of "do
+ we have a user context", and is generally done by the page fault handler
+ and things like that).
+
+ Anyway, I put a pre-patch-2.3.13-1 on ftp.kernel.org just a moment ago,
+ because it slightly changes the interfaces to accommodate the alpha (who
+ would have thought it, but the alpha actually ends up having one of the
+ ugliest context switch codes - unlike the other architectures where the MM
+ and register state is separate, the alpha PALcode joins the two, and you
+ need to switch both together).

+=======================
+Kernel Samepage Merging
+=======================
+
+KSM is a memory-saving de-duplication feature, enabled by CONFIG_KSM=y,
+added to the Linux kernel in 2.6.32.  See ``mm/ksm.c`` for its implementation,
+and http://lwn.net/Articles/306704/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/330589/
+
+The KSM daemon ksmd periodically scans those areas of user memory which
+have been registered with it, looking for pages of identical content which
+can be replaced by a single write-protected page (which is automatically
+copied if a process later wants to update its content).
+
+KSM was originally developed for use with KVM (where it was known as
+Kernel Shared Memory), to fit more virtual machines into physical memory,
+by sharing the data common between them.  But it can be useful to any
+application which generates many instances of the same data.
+
+KSM only merges anonymous (private) pages, never pagecache (file) pages.
+KSM's merged pages were originally locked into kernel memory, but can now
+be swapped out just like other user pages (but sharing is broken when they
+are swapped back in: ksmd must rediscover their identity and merge again).
+
+KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application
+has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2)
+system call: int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE).
+
+The app may call int madvise(addr, length, MADV_UNMERGEABLE) to cancel
+that advice and restore unshared pages: whereupon KSM unmerges whatever
+it merged in that range.  Note: this unmerging call may suddenly require
+more memory than is available - possibly failing with EAGAIN, but more
+probably arousing the Out-Of-Memory killer.
+
+If KSM is not configured into the running kernel, madvise MADV_MERGEABLE
+and MADV_UNMERGEABLE simply fail with EINVAL.  If the running kernel was
+built with CONFIG_KSM=y, those calls will normally succeed: even if the
+the KSM daemon is not currently running, MADV_MERGEABLE still registers
+the range for whenever the KSM daemon is started; even if the range
+cannot contain any pages which KSM could actually merge; even if
+MADV_UNMERGEABLE is applied to a range which was never MADV_MERGEABLE.
+
+If a region of memory must be split into at least one new MADV_MERGEABLE
+or MADV_UNMERGEABLE region, the madvise may return ENOMEM if the process
+will exceed vm.max_map_count (see Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt).
+
+Like other madvise calls, they are intended for use on mapped areas of
+the user address space: they will report ENOMEM if the specified range
+includes unmapped gaps (though working on the intervening mapped areas),
+and might fail with EAGAIN if not enough memory for internal structures.
+
+Applications should be considerate in their use of MADV_MERGEABLE,
+restricting its use to areas likely to benefit.  KSM's scans may use a lot
+of processing power: some installations will disable KSM for that reason.
+
+The KSM daemon is controlled by sysfs files in ``/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/``,
+readable by all but writable only by root:
+
+pages_to_scan
+        how many present pages to scan before ksmd goes to sleep
+        e.g. ``echo 100 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan`` Default: 100
+        (chosen for demonstration purposes)
+
+sleep_millisecs
+        how many milliseconds ksmd should sleep before next scan
+        e.g. ``echo 20 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs`` Default: 20
+        (chosen for demonstration purposes)
+
+merge_across_nodes
+        specifies if pages from different numa nodes can be merged.
+        When set to 0, ksm merges only pages which physically reside
+        in the memory area of same NUMA node. That brings lower
+        latency to access of shared pages. Systems with more nodes, at
+        significant NUMA distances, are likely to benefit from the
+        lower latency of setting 0. Smaller systems, which need to
+        minimize memory usage, are likely to benefit from the greater
+        sharing of setting 1 (default). You may wish to compare how
+        your system performs under each setting, before deciding on
+        which to use. merge_across_nodes setting can be changed only
+        when there are no ksm shared pages in system: set run 2 to
+        unmerge pages first, then to 1 after changing
+        merge_across_nodes, to remerge according to the new setting.
+        Default: 1 (merging across nodes as in earlier releases)
+
+run
+        set 0 to stop ksmd from running but keep merged pages,
+        set 1 to run ksmd e.g. ``echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run``,
+        set 2 to stop ksmd and unmerge all pages currently merged, but
+        leave mergeable areas registered for next run Default: 0 (must
+        be changed to 1 to activate KSM, except if CONFIG_SYSFS is
+        disabled)
+
+use_zero_pages
+        specifies whether empty pages (i.e. allocated pages that only
+        contain zeroes) should be treated specially.  When set to 1,
+        empty pages are merged with the kernel zero page(s) instead of
+        with each other as it would happen normally. This can improve
+        the performance on architectures with coloured zero pages,
+        depending on the workload. Care should be taken when enabling
+        this setting, as it can potentially degrade the performance of
+        KSM for some workloads, for example if the checksums of pages
+        candidate for merging match the checksum of an empty
+        page. This setting can be changed at any time, it is only
+        effective for pages merged after the change.  Default: 0
+        (normal KSM behaviour as in earlier releases)
+
+max_page_sharing
+        Maximum sharing allowed for each KSM page. This enforces a
+        deduplication limit to avoid the virtual memory rmap lists to
+        grow too large. The minimum value is 2 as a newly created KSM
+        page will have at least two sharers. The rmap walk has O(N)
+        complexity where N is the number of rmap_items (i.e. virtual
+        mappings) that are sharing the page, which is in turn capped
+        by max_page_sharing. So this effectively spread the the linear
+        O(N) computational complexity from rmap walk context over
+        different KSM pages. The ksmd walk over the stable_node
+        "chains" is also O(N), but N is the number of stable_node
+        "dups", not the number of rmap_items, so it has not a
+        significant impact on ksmd performance. In practice the best
+        stable_node "dup" candidate will be kept and found at the head
+        of the "dups" list. The higher this value the faster KSM will
+        merge the memory (because there will be fewer stable_node dups
+        queued into the stable_node chain->hlist to check for pruning)
+        and the higher the deduplication factor will be, but the
+        slowest the worst case rmap walk could be for any given KSM
+        page. Slowing down the rmap_walk means there will be higher
+        latency for certain virtual memory operations happening during
+        swapping, compaction, NUMA balancing and page migration, in
+        turn decreasing responsiveness for the caller of those virtual
+        memory operations. The scheduler latency of other tasks not
+        involved with the VM operations doing the rmap walk is not
+        affected by this parameter as the rmap walks are always
+        schedule friendly themselves.
+
+stable_node_chains_prune_millisecs
+        How frequently to walk the whole list of stable_node "dups"
+        linked in the stable_node "chains" in order to prune stale
+        stable_nodes. Smaller milllisecs values will free up the KSM
+        metadata with lower latency, but they will make ksmd use more
+        CPU during the scan. This only applies to the stable_node
+        chains so it's a noop if not a single KSM page hit the
+        max_page_sharing yet (there would be no stable_node chains in
+        such case).
+
+The effectiveness of KSM and MADV_MERGEABLE is shown in ``/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/``:
+
+pages_shared
+        how many shared pages are being used
+pages_sharing
+        how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how much saved
+pages_unshared
+        how many pages unique but repeatedly checked for merging
+pages_volatile
+        how many pages changing too fast to be placed in a tree
+full_scans
+        how many times all mergeable areas have been scanned
+stable_node_chains
+        number of stable node chains allocated, this is effectively
+        the number of KSM pages that hit the max_page_sharing limit
+stable_node_dups
+        number of stable node dups queued into the stable_node chains
+
+A high ratio of pages_sharing to pages_shared indicates good sharing, but
+a high ratio of pages_unshared to pages_sharing indicates wasted effort.
+pages_volatile embraces several different kinds of activity, but a high
+proportion there would also indicate poor use of madvise MADV_MERGEABLE.
+
+The maximum possible page_sharing/page_shared ratio is limited by the
+max_page_sharing tunable. To increase the ratio max_page_sharing must
+be increased accordingly.
+
+The stable_node_dups/stable_node_chains ratio is also affected by the
+max_page_sharing tunable, and an high ratio may indicate fragmentation
+in the stable_node dups, which could be solved by introducing
+fragmentation algorithms in ksmd which would refile rmap_items from
+one stable_node dup to another stable_node dup, in order to freeup
+stable_node "dups" with few rmap_items in them, but that may increase
+the ksmd CPU usage and possibly slowdown the readonly computations on
+the KSM pages of the applications.

+
+When do you need to notify inside page table lock ?
+===================================================
+
+When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event through
+(notify version of \*_clear_flush call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range) under
+the page table lock. But that notification is not necessary in all cases.
+
+For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when device use
+thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page table to access a
+process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases when you need to notify
+those secondary TLB while holding page table lock when clearing a pte/pmd:
+
+  A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
+  B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault
+     on zero page, __replace_page(), ...)
+
+Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write to
+a page that might now be used by some completely different task.
+
+Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence to
+happen:
+
+  - take page table lock
+  - clear page table entry and notify ([pmd/pte]p_huge_clear_flush_notify())
+  - set page table entry to point to new page
+
+If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting
+the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for
+the device.
+
+Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/PASID):
+
+Two address addrA and addrB such that \|addrA - addrB\| >= PAGE_SIZE we assume
+they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too).
+

+ CPU-thread-3  {}
+ DEV-thread-0  {}
+ DEV-thread-2  {}

+ CPU-thread-0  {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-1  {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-2  {write to addrA which is a write to new page}

+ CPU-thread-0  {preempted}
+ CPU-thread-1  {preempted}

+ CPU-thread-2  {}
+ CPU-thread-3  {}
+ DEV-thread-0  {read addrA from old page}
+ DEV-thread-2  {read addrB from new page}
+
+So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a
+notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value for
+addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory ordering
+for the device.
+
+When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected page
+with same content (KSM) it is fine to delay the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range
+call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This
+is true even if the thread doing the page table update is preempted right after
+releasing page table lock but before call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end().

+Linux Memory Policy
+===================
+
+What is Linux Memory Policy?
+============================
+
+In the Linux kernel, "memory policy" determines from which node the kernel will
+allocate memory in a NUMA system or in an emulated NUMA system.  Linux has
+supported platforms with Non-Uniform Memory Access architectures since 2.4.?.
+The current memory policy support was added to Linux 2.6 around May 2004.  This
+document attempts to describe the concepts and APIs of the 2.6 memory policy
+support.
+
+Memory policies should not be confused with cpusets
+(``Documentation/cgroup-v1/cpusets.txt``)
+which is an administrative mechanism for restricting the nodes from which
+memory may be allocated by a set of processes. Memory policies are a
+programming interface that a NUMA-aware application can take advantage of.  When
+both cpusets and policies are applied to a task, the restrictions of the cpuset
+takes priority.  See :ref:`Memory Policies and cpusets <mem_pol_and_cpusets>`
+below for more details.
+
+Memory Policy Concepts
+======================
+
+Scope of Memory Policies
+------------------------
+
+The Linux kernel supports _scopes_ of memory policy, described here from
+most general to most specific:
+
+System Default Policy
+	this policy is "hard coded" into the kernel.  It is the policy
+	that governs all page allocations that aren't controlled by
+	one of the more specific policy scopes discussed below.  When
+	the system is "up and running", the system default policy will
+	use "local allocation" described below.  However, during boot
+	up, the system default policy will be set to interleave
+	allocations across all nodes with "sufficient" memory, so as
+	not to overload the initial boot node with boot-time
+	allocations.
+
+Task/Process Policy
+	this is an optional, per-task policy.  When defined for a specific task, this policy controls all page allocations made by or on behalf of the task that aren't controlled by a more specific scope. If a task does not define a task policy, then all page allocations that would have been controlled by the task policy "fall back" to the System Default Policy.
+
+	The task policy applies to the entire address space of a task. Thus,
+	it is inheritable, and indeed is inherited, across both fork()
+	[clone() w/o the CLONE_VM flag] and exec*().  This allows a parent task
+	to establish the task policy for a child task exec()'d from an
+	executable image that has no awareness of memory policy.  See the
+	MEMORY POLICY APIS section, below, for an overview of the system call
+	that a task may use to set/change its task/process policy.
+
+	In a multi-threaded task, task policies apply only to the thread
+	[Linux kernel task] that installs the policy and any threads
+	subsequently created by that thread.  Any sibling threads existing
+	at the time a new task policy is installed retain their current
+	policy.
+
+	A task policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy is
+	installed.  Any pages already faulted in by the task when the task
+	changes its task policy remain where they were allocated based on
+	the policy at the time they were allocated.
+
+.. _vma_policy:
+
+VMA Policy
+	A "VMA" or "Virtual Memory Area" refers to a range of a task's
+	virtual address space.  A task may define a specific policy for a range
+	of its virtual address space.   See the MEMORY POLICIES APIS section,
+	below, for an overview of the mbind() system call used to set a VMA
+	policy.
+
+	A VMA policy will govern the allocation of pages that back
+	this region ofthe address space.  Any regions of the task's
+	address space that don't have an explicit VMA policy will fall
+	back to the task policy, which may itself fall back to the
+	System Default Policy.
+
+	VMA policies have a few complicating details:
+
+	* VMA policy applies ONLY to anonymous pages.  These include
+	  pages allocated for anonymous segments, such as the task
+	  stack and heap, and any regions of the address space
+	  mmap()ed with the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag.  If a VMA policy is
+	  applied to a file mapping, it will be ignored if the mapping
+	  used the MAP_SHARED flag.  If the file mapping used the
+	  MAP_PRIVATE flag, the VMA policy will only be applied when
+	  an anonymous page is allocated on an attempt to write to the
+	  mapping-- i.e., at Copy-On-Write.
+
+	* VMA policies are shared between all tasks that share a
+	  virtual address space--a.k.a. threads--independent of when
+	  the policy is installed; and they are inherited across
+	  fork().  However, because VMA policies refer to a specific
+	  region of a task's address space, and because the address
+	  space is discarded and recreated on exec*(), VMA policies
+	  are NOT inheritable across exec().  Thus, only NUMA-aware
+	  applications may use VMA policies.
+
+	* A task may install a new VMA policy on a sub-range of a
+	  previously mmap()ed region.  When this happens, Linux splits
+	  the existing virtual memory area into 2 or 3 VMAs, each with
+	  it's own policy.
+
+	* By default, VMA policy applies only to pages allocated after
+	  the policy is installed.  Any pages already faulted into the
+	  VMA range remain where they were allocated based on the
+	  policy at the time they were allocated.  However, since
+	  2.6.16, Linux supports page migration via the mbind() system
+	  call, so that page contents can be moved to match a newly
+	  installed policy.
+
+Shared Policy
+	Conceptually, shared policies apply to "memory objects" mapped
+	shared into one or more tasks' distinct address spaces.  An
+	application installs a shared policies the same way as VMA
+	policies--using the mbind() system call specifying a range of
+	virtual addresses that map the shared object.  However, unlike
+	VMA policies, which can be considered to be an attribute of a
+	range of a task's address space, shared policies apply
+	directly to the shared object.  Thus, all tasks that attach to
+	the object share the policy, and all pages allocated for the
+	shared object, by any task, will obey the shared policy.
+
+	As of 2.6.22, only shared memory segments, created by shmget() or
+	mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_SHARED), support shared policy.  When shared
+	policy support was added to Linux, the associated data structures were
+	added to hugetlbfs shmem segments.  At the time, hugetlbfs did not
+	support allocation at fault time--a.k.a lazy allocation--so hugetlbfs
+	shmem segments were never "hooked up" to the shared policy support.
+	Although hugetlbfs segments now support lazy allocation, their support
+	for shared policy has not been completed.
+
+	As mentioned above :ref:`VMA policies <vma_policy>`,
+	allocations of page cache pages for regular files mmap()ed
+	with MAP_SHARED ignore any VMA policy installed on the virtual
+	address range backed by the shared file mapping.  Rather,
+	shared page cache pages, including pages backing private
+	mappings that have not yet been written by the task, follow
+	task policy, if any, else System Default Policy.
+
+	The shared policy infrastructure supports different policies on subset
+	ranges of the shared object.  However, Linux still splits the VMA of
+	the task that installs the policy for each range of distinct policy.
+	Thus, different tasks that attach to a shared memory segment can have
+	different VMA configurations mapping that one shared object.  This
+	can be seen by examining the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps of tasks sharing
+	a shared memory region, when one task has installed shared policy on
+	one or more ranges of the region.
+
+Components of Memory Policies
+-----------------------------
+
+A Linux memory policy consists of a "mode", optional mode flags, and
+an optional set of nodes.  The mode determines the behavior of the
+policy, the optional mode flags determine the behavior of the mode,
+and the optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the
+policy behavior.
+
+Internally, memory policies are implemented by a reference counted
+structure, struct mempolicy.  Details of this structure will be
+discussed in context, below, as required to explain the behavior.
+
+Linux memory policy supports the following 4 behavioral modes:
+
+Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT
+	This mode is only used in the memory policy APIs.  Internally,
+	MPOL_DEFAULT is converted to the NULL memory policy in all
+	policy scopes.  Any existing non-default policy will simply be
+	removed when MPOL_DEFAULT is specified.  As a result,
+	MPOL_DEFAULT means "fall back to the next most specific policy
+	scope."
+
+	For example, a NULL or default task policy will fall back to the
+	system default policy.  A NULL or default vma policy will fall
+	back to the task policy.
+
+	When specified in one of the memory policy APIs, the Default mode
+	does not use the optional set of nodes.
+
+	It is an error for the set of nodes specified for this policy to
+	be non-empty.
+
+MPOL_BIND
+	This mode specifies that memory must come from the set of
+	nodes specified by the policy.  Memory will be allocated from
+	the node in the set with sufficient free memory that is
+	closest to the node where the allocation takes place.
+
+MPOL_PREFERRED
+	This mode specifies that the allocation should be attempted
+	from the single node specified in the policy.  If that
+	allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, in order
+	of increasing distance from the preferred node based on
+	information provided by the platform firmware.
+
+	Internally, the Preferred policy uses a single node--the
+	preferred_node member of struct mempolicy.  When the internal
+	mode flag MPOL_F_LOCAL is set, the preferred_node is ignored
+	and the policy is interpreted as local allocation.  "Local"
+	allocation policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that
+	starts at the node containing the cpu where the allocation
+	takes place.
+
+	It is possible for the user to specify that local allocation
+	is always preferred by passing an empty nodemask with this
+	mode.  If an empty nodemask is passed, the policy cannot use
+	the MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags
+	described below.
+
+MPOL_INTERLEAVED
+	This mode specifies that page allocations be interleaved, on a
+	page granularity, across the nodes specified in the policy.
+	This mode also behaves slightly differently, based on the
+	context where it is used:
+
+	For allocation of anonymous pages and shared memory pages,
+	Interleave mode indexes the set of nodes specified by the
+	policy using the page offset of the faulting address into the
+	segment [VMA] containing the address modulo the number of
+	nodes specified by the policy.  It then attempts to allocate a
+	page, starting at the selected node, as if the node had been
+	specified by a Preferred policy or had been selected by a
+	local allocation.  That is, allocation will follow the per
+	node zonelist.
+
+	For allocation of page cache pages, Interleave mode indexes
+	the set of nodes specified by the policy using a node counter
+	maintained per task.  This counter wraps around to the lowest
+	specified node after it reaches the highest specified node.
+	This will tend to spread the pages out over the nodes
+	specified by the policy based on the order in which they are
+	allocated, rather than based on any page offset into an
+	address range or file.  During system boot up, the temporary
+	interleaved system default policy works in this mode.
+
+Linux memory policy supports the following optional mode flags:
+
+MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
+	This flag specifies that the nodemask passed by
+	the user should not be remapped if the task or VMA's set of allowed
+	nodes changes after the memory policy has been defined.
+
+	Without this flag, anytime a mempolicy is rebound because of a
+	change in the set of allowed nodes, the node (Preferred) or
+	nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is remapped to the new set of
+	allowed nodes.  This may result in nodes being used that were
+	previously undesired.
+
+	With this flag, if the user-specified nodes overlap with the
+	nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, then the memory policy is
+	applied to their intersection.  If the two sets of nodes do not
+	overlap, the Default policy is used.
+
+	For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
+	mems 1-3 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set.  If
+	the cpuset's mems change to 3-5, the Interleave will now occur
+	over nodes 3, 4, and 5.  With this flag, however, since only node
+	3 is allowed from the user's nodemask, the "interleave" only
+	occurs over that node.  If no nodes from the user's nodemask are
+	now allowed, the Default behavior is used.
+
+	MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES cannot be combined with the
+	MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag.  It also cannot be used for
+	MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
+	(local allocation).
+
+MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES
+	This flag specifies that the nodemask passed
+	by the user will be mapped relative to the set of the task or VMA's
+	set of allowed nodes.  The kernel stores the user-passed nodemask,
+	and if the allowed nodes changes, then that original nodemask will
+	be remapped relative to the new set of allowed nodes.
+
+	Without this flag (and without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES), anytime a
+	mempolicy is rebound because of a change in the set of allowed
+	nodes, the node (Preferred) or nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is
+	remapped to the new set of allowed nodes.  That remap may not
+	preserve the relative nature of the user's passed nodemask to its
+	set of allowed nodes upon successive rebinds: a nodemask of
+	1,3,5 may be remapped to 7-9 and then to 1-3 if the set of
+	allowed nodes is restored to its original state.
+
+	With this flag, the remap is done so that the node numbers from
+	the user's passed nodemask are relative to the set of allowed
+	nodes.  In other words, if nodes 0, 2, and 4 are set in the user's
+	nodemask, the policy will be effected over the first (and in the
+	Bind or Interleave case, the third and fifth) nodes in the set of
+	allowed nodes.  The nodemask passed by the user represents nodes
+	relative to task or VMA's set of allowed nodes.
+
+	If the user's nodemask includes nodes that are outside the range
+	of the new set of allowed nodes (for example, node 5 is set in
+	the user's nodemask when the set of allowed nodes is only 0-3),
+	then the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and,
+	if not already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask.
+
+	For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
+	mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with
+	MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the
+	interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-7.  If the cpuset's mems
+	then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes
+	0,2-3,5.
+
+	Thanks to the consistent remapping, applications preparing
+	nodemasks to specify memory policies using this flag should
+	disregard their current, actual cpuset imposed memory placement
+	and prepare the nodemask as if they were always located on
+	memory nodes 0 to N-1, where N is the number of memory nodes the
+	policy is intended to manage.  Let the kernel then remap to the
+	set of memory nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, as that may
+	change over time.
+
+	MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES cannot be combined with the
+	MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag.  It also cannot be used for
+	MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
+	(local allocation).
+
+Memory Policy Reference Counting
+================================
+
+To resolve use/free races, struct mempolicy contains an atomic reference
+count field.  Internal interfaces, mpol_get()/mpol_put() increment and
+decrement this reference count, respectively.  mpol_put() will only free
+the structure back to the mempolicy kmem cache when the reference count
+goes to zero.
+
+When a new memory policy is allocated, its reference count is initialized
+to '1', representing the reference held by the task that is installing the
+new policy.  When a pointer to a memory policy structure is stored in another
+structure, another reference is added, as the task's reference will be dropped
+on completion of the policy installation.
+
+During run-time "usage" of the policy, we attempt to minimize atomic operations
+on the reference count, as this can lead to cache lines bouncing between cpus
+and NUMA nodes.  "Usage" here means one of the following:
+
+1) querying of the policy, either by the task itself [using the get_mempolicy()
+   API discussed below] or by another task using the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
+   interface.
+
+2) examination of the policy to determine the policy mode and associated node
+   or node lists, if any, for page allocation.  This is considered a "hot
+   path".  Note that for MPOL_BIND, the "usage" extends across the entire
+   allocation process, which may sleep during page reclaimation, because the
+   BIND policy nodemask is used, by reference, to filter ineligible nodes.
+
+We can avoid taking an extra reference during the usages listed above as
+follows:
+
+1) we never need to get/free the system default policy as this is never
+   changed nor freed, once the system is up and running.
+
+2) for querying the policy, we do not need to take an extra reference on the
+   target task's task policy nor vma policies because we always acquire the
+   task's mm's mmap_sem for read during the query.  The set_mempolicy() and
+   mbind() APIs [see below] always acquire the mmap_sem for write when
+   installing or replacing task or vma policies.  Thus, there is no possibility
+   of a task or thread freeing a policy while another task or thread is
+   querying it.
+
+3) Page allocation usage of task or vma policy occurs in the fault path where
+   we hold them mmap_sem for read.  Again, because replacing the task or vma
+   policy requires that the mmap_sem be held for write, the policy can't be
+   freed out from under us while we're using it for page allocation.
+
+4) Shared policies require special consideration.  One task can replace a
+   shared memory policy while another task, with a distinct mmap_sem, is
+   querying or allocating a page based on the policy.  To resolve this
+   potential race, the shared policy infrastructure adds an extra reference
+   to the shared policy during lookup while holding a spin lock on the shared
+   policy management structure.  This requires that we drop this extra
+   reference when we're finished "using" the policy.  We must drop the
+   extra reference on shared policies in the same query/allocation paths
+   used for non-shared policies.  For this reason, shared policies are marked
+   as such, and the extra reference is dropped "conditionally"--i.e., only
+   for shared policies.
+
+   Because of this extra reference counting, and because we must lookup
+   shared policies in a tree structure under spinlock, shared policies are
+   more expensive to use in the page allocation path.  This is especially
+   true for shared policies on shared memory regions shared by tasks running
+   on different NUMA nodes.  This extra overhead can be avoided by always
+   falling back to task or system default policy for shared memory regions,
+   or by prefaulting the entire shared memory region into memory and locking
+   it down.  However, this might not be appropriate for all applications.
+
+Memory Policy APIs
+
+Linux supports 3 system calls for controlling memory policy.  These APIS
+always affect only the calling task, the calling task's address space, or
+some shared object mapped into the calling task's address space.
+
+.. note::
+   the headers that define these APIs and the parameter data types for
+   user space applications reside in a package that is not part of the
+   Linux kernel.  The kernel system call interfaces, with the 'sys\_'
+   prefix, are defined in <linux/syscalls.h>; the mode and flag
+   definitions are defined in <linux/mempolicy.h>.
+
+Set [Task] Memory Policy::
+
+	long set_mempolicy(int mode, const unsigned long *nmask,
+					unsigned long maxnode);
+
+Set's the calling task's "task/process memory policy" to mode
+specified by the 'mode' argument and the set of nodes defined by
+'nmask'.  'nmask' points to a bit mask of node ids containing at least
+'maxnode' ids.  Optional mode flags may be passed by combining the
+'mode' argument with the flag (for example: MPOL_INTERLEAVE |
+MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES).
+
+See the set_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
+
+
+Get [Task] Memory Policy or Related Information::
+
+	long get_mempolicy(int *mode,
+			   const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
+			   void *addr, int flags);
+
+Queries the "task/process memory policy" of the calling task, or the
+policy or location of a specified virtual address, depending on the
+'flags' argument.
+
+See the get_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
+
+
+Install VMA/Shared Policy for a Range of Task's Address Space::
+
+	long mbind(void *start, unsigned long len, int mode,
+		   const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
+		   unsigned flags);
+
+mbind() installs the policy specified by (mode, nmask, maxnodes) as a
+VMA policy for the range of the calling task's address space specified
+by the 'start' and 'len' arguments.  Additional actions may be
+requested via the 'flags' argument.
+
+See the mbind(2) man page for more details.
+
+Memory Policy Command Line Interface
+====================================
+
+Although not strictly part of the Linux implementation of memory policy,
+a command line tool, numactl(8), exists that allows one to:
+
++ set the task policy for a specified program via set_mempolicy(2), fork(2) and
+  exec(2)
+
++ set the shared policy for a shared memory segment via mbind(2)
+
+The numactl(8) tool is packaged with the run-time version of the library
+containing the memory policy system call wrappers.  Some distributions
+package the headers and compile-time libraries in a separate development
+package.
+
+.. _mem_pol_and_cpusets:
+
+Memory Policies and cpusets
+===========================
+
+Memory policies work within cpusets as described above.  For memory policies
+that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
+nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints.  If the nodemask
+specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset and
+MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is not used, the intersection of the set of nodes
+specified for the policy and the set of nodes with memory is used.  If the
+result is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid and cannot be
+installed.  If MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is used, the policy's nodes are mapped
+onto and folded into the task's set of allowed nodes as previously described.
+
+The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic when tasks
+in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared memory segments
+created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and MAP_SHARED flags, and
+any of the tasks install shared policy on the region, only nodes whose
+memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the policies.  Obtaining
+this information requires "stepping outside" the memory policy APIs to use the
+cpuset information and requires that one know in what cpusets other task might
+be attaching to the shared region.  Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed
+memory sets are disjoint, "local" allocation is the only valid policy.

-What is Linux Memory Policy?
-
-In the Linux kernel, "memory policy" determines from which node the kernel will
-allocate memory in a NUMA system or in an emulated NUMA system.  Linux has
-supported platforms with Non-Uniform Memory Access architectures since 2.4.?.
-The current memory policy support was added to Linux 2.6 around May 2004.  This
-document attempts to describe the concepts and APIs of the 2.6 memory policy
-support.
-
-Memory policies should not be confused with cpusets
-(Documentation/cgroup-v1/cpusets.txt)
-which is an administrative mechanism for restricting the nodes from which
-memory may be allocated by a set of processes. Memory policies are a
-programming interface that a NUMA-aware application can take advantage of.  When
-both cpusets and policies are applied to a task, the restrictions of the cpuset
-takes priority.  See "MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS" below for more details.
-
-MEMORY POLICY CONCEPTS
-
-Scope of Memory Policies
-
-The Linux kernel supports _scopes_ of memory policy, described here from
-most general to most specific:
-
-    System Default Policy:  this policy is "hard coded" into the kernel.  It
-    is the policy that governs all page allocations that aren't controlled
-    by one of the more specific policy scopes discussed below.  When the
-    system is "up and running", the system default policy will use "local
-    allocation" described below.  However, during boot up, the system
-    default policy will be set to interleave allocations across all nodes
-    with "sufficient" memory, so as not to overload the initial boot node
-    with boot-time allocations.
-
-    Task/Process Policy:  this is an optional, per-task policy.  When defined
-    for a specific task, this policy controls all page allocations made by or
-    on behalf of the task that aren't controlled by a more specific scope.
-    If a task does not define a task policy, then all page allocations that
-    would have been controlled by the task policy "fall back" to the System
-    Default Policy.
-
-	The task policy applies to the entire address space of a task. Thus,
-	it is inheritable, and indeed is inherited, across both fork()
-	[clone() w/o the CLONE_VM flag] and exec*().  This allows a parent task
-	to establish the task policy for a child task exec()'d from an
-	executable image that has no awareness of memory policy.  See the
-	MEMORY POLICY APIS section, below, for an overview of the system call
-	that a task may use to set/change its task/process policy.
-
-	In a multi-threaded task, task policies apply only to the thread
-	[Linux kernel task] that installs the policy and any threads
-	subsequently created by that thread.  Any sibling threads existing
-	at the time a new task policy is installed retain their current
-	policy.
-
-	A task policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy is
-	installed.  Any pages already faulted in by the task when the task
-	changes its task policy remain where they were allocated based on
-	the policy at the time they were allocated.
-
-    VMA Policy:  A "VMA" or "Virtual Memory Area" refers to a range of a task's
-    virtual address space.  A task may define a specific policy for a range
-    of its virtual address space.   See the MEMORY POLICIES APIS section,
-    below, for an overview of the mbind() system call used to set a VMA
-    policy.
-
-    A VMA policy will govern the allocation of pages that back this region of
-    the address space.  Any regions of the task's address space that don't
-    have an explicit VMA policy will fall back to the task policy, which may
-    itself fall back to the System Default Policy.
-
-    VMA policies have a few complicating details:
-
-	VMA policy applies ONLY to anonymous pages.  These include pages
-	allocated for anonymous segments, such as the task stack and heap, and
-	any regions of the address space mmap()ed with the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag.
-	If a VMA policy is applied to a file mapping, it will be ignored if
-	the mapping used the MAP_SHARED flag.  If the file mapping used the
-	MAP_PRIVATE flag, the VMA policy will only be applied when an
-	anonymous page is allocated on an attempt to write to the mapping--
-	i.e., at Copy-On-Write.
-
-	VMA policies are shared between all tasks that share a virtual address
-	space--a.k.a. threads--independent of when the policy is installed; and
-	they are inherited across fork().  However, because VMA policies refer
-	to a specific region of a task's address space, and because the address
-	space is discarded and recreated on exec*(), VMA policies are NOT
-	inheritable across exec().  Thus, only NUMA-aware applications may
-	use VMA policies.
-
-	A task may install a new VMA policy on a sub-range of a previously
-	mmap()ed region.  When this happens, Linux splits the existing virtual
-	memory area into 2 or 3 VMAs, each with it's own policy.
-
-	By default, VMA policy applies only to pages allocated after the policy
-	is installed.  Any pages already faulted into the VMA range remain
-	where they were allocated based on the policy at the time they were
-	allocated.  However, since 2.6.16, Linux supports page migration via
-	the mbind() system call, so that page contents can be moved to match
-	a newly installed policy.
-
-    Shared Policy:  Conceptually, shared policies apply to "memory objects"
-    mapped shared into one or more tasks' distinct address spaces.  An
-    application installs a shared policies the same way as VMA policies--using
-    the mbind() system call specifying a range of virtual addresses that map
-    the shared object.  However, unlike VMA policies, which can be considered
-    to be an attribute of a range of a task's address space, shared policies
-    apply directly to the shared object.  Thus, all tasks that attach to the
-    object share the policy, and all pages allocated for the shared object,
-    by any task, will obey the shared policy.
-
-	As of 2.6.22, only shared memory segments, created by shmget() or
-	mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_SHARED), support shared policy.  When shared
-	policy support was added to Linux, the associated data structures were
-	added to hugetlbfs shmem segments.  At the time, hugetlbfs did not
-	support allocation at fault time--a.k.a lazy allocation--so hugetlbfs
-	shmem segments were never "hooked up" to the shared policy support.
-	Although hugetlbfs segments now support lazy allocation, their support
-	for shared policy has not been completed.
-
-	As mentioned above [re: VMA policies], allocations of page cache
-	pages for regular files mmap()ed with MAP_SHARED ignore any VMA
-	policy installed on the virtual address range backed by the shared
-	file mapping.  Rather, shared page cache pages, including pages backing
-	private mappings that have not yet been written by the task, follow
-	task policy, if any, else System Default Policy.
-
-	The shared policy infrastructure supports different policies on subset
-	ranges of the shared object.  However, Linux still splits the VMA of
-	the task that installs the policy for each range of distinct policy.
-	Thus, different tasks that attach to a shared memory segment can have
-	different VMA configurations mapping that one shared object.  This
-	can be seen by examining the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps of tasks sharing
-	a shared memory region, when one task has installed shared policy on
-	one or more ranges of the region.
-
-Components of Memory Policies
-
-    A Linux memory policy consists of a "mode", optional mode flags, and an
-    optional set of nodes.  The mode determines the behavior of the policy,
-    the optional mode flags determine the behavior of the mode, and the
-    optional set of nodes can be viewed as the arguments to the policy
-    behavior.
-
-   Internally, memory policies are implemented by a reference counted
-   structure, struct mempolicy.  Details of this structure will be discussed
-   in context, below, as required to explain the behavior.
-
-   Linux memory policy supports the following 4 behavioral modes:
-
-	Default Mode--MPOL_DEFAULT:  This mode is only used in the memory
-	policy APIs.  Internally, MPOL_DEFAULT is converted to the NULL
-	memory policy in all policy scopes.  Any existing non-default policy
-	will simply be removed when MPOL_DEFAULT is specified.  As a result,
-	MPOL_DEFAULT means "fall back to the next most specific policy scope."
-
-	    For example, a NULL or default task policy will fall back to the
-	    system default policy.  A NULL or default vma policy will fall
-	    back to the task policy.
-
-	    When specified in one of the memory policy APIs, the Default mode
-	    does not use the optional set of nodes.
-
-	    It is an error for the set of nodes specified for this policy to
-	    be non-empty.
-
-	MPOL_BIND:  This mode specifies that memory must come from the
-	set of nodes specified by the policy.  Memory will be allocated from
-	the node in the set with sufficient free memory that is closest to
-	the node where the allocation takes place.
-
-	MPOL_PREFERRED:  This mode specifies that the allocation should be
-	attempted from the single node specified in the policy.  If that
-	allocation fails, the kernel will search other nodes, in order of
-	increasing distance from the preferred node based on information
-	provided by the platform firmware.
-
-	    Internally, the Preferred policy uses a single node--the
-	    preferred_node member of struct mempolicy.  When the internal
-	    mode flag MPOL_F_LOCAL is set, the preferred_node is ignored and
-	    the policy is interpreted as local allocation.  "Local" allocation
-	    policy can be viewed as a Preferred policy that starts at the node
-	    containing the cpu where the allocation takes place.
-
-	    It is possible for the user to specify that local allocation is
-	    always preferred by passing an empty nodemask with this mode.
-	    If an empty nodemask is passed, the policy cannot use the
-	    MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags described
-	    below.
-
-	MPOL_INTERLEAVED:  This mode specifies that page allocations be
-	interleaved, on a page granularity, across the nodes specified in
-	the policy.  This mode also behaves slightly differently, based on
-	the context where it is used:
-
-	    For allocation of anonymous pages and shared memory pages,
-	    Interleave mode indexes the set of nodes specified by the policy
-	    using the page offset of the faulting address into the segment
-	    [VMA] containing the address modulo the number of nodes specified
-	    by the policy.  It then attempts to allocate a page, starting at
-	    the selected node, as if the node had been specified by a Preferred
-	    policy or had been selected by a local allocation.  That is,
-	    allocation will follow the per node zonelist.
-
-	    For allocation of page cache pages, Interleave mode indexes the set
-	    of nodes specified by the policy using a node counter maintained
-	    per task.  This counter wraps around to the lowest specified node
-	    after it reaches the highest specified node.  This will tend to
-	    spread the pages out over the nodes specified by the policy based
-	    on the order in which they are allocated, rather than based on any
-	    page offset into an address range or file.  During system boot up,
-	    the temporary interleaved system default policy works in this
-	    mode.
-
-   Linux memory policy supports the following optional mode flags:
-
-	MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES:  This flag specifies that the nodemask passed by
-	the user should not be remapped if the task or VMA's set of allowed
-	nodes changes after the memory policy has been defined.
-
-	    Without this flag, anytime a mempolicy is rebound because of a
-	    change in the set of allowed nodes, the node (Preferred) or
-	    nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is remapped to the new set of
-	    allowed nodes.  This may result in nodes being used that were
-	    previously undesired.
-
-	    With this flag, if the user-specified nodes overlap with the
-	    nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, then the memory policy is
-	    applied to their intersection.  If the two sets of nodes do not
-	    overlap, the Default policy is used.
-
-	    For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
-	    mems 1-3 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set.  If
-	    the cpuset's mems change to 3-5, the Interleave will now occur
-	    over nodes 3, 4, and 5.  With this flag, however, since only node
-	    3 is allowed from the user's nodemask, the "interleave" only
-	    occurs over that node.  If no nodes from the user's nodemask are
-	    now allowed, the Default behavior is used.
-
-	    MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES cannot be combined with the
-	    MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag.  It also cannot be used for
-	    MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
-	    (local allocation).
-
-	MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES:  This flag specifies that the nodemask passed
-	by the user will be mapped relative to the set of the task or VMA's
-	set of allowed nodes.  The kernel stores the user-passed nodemask,
-	and if the allowed nodes changes, then that original nodemask will
-	be remapped relative to the new set of allowed nodes.
-
-	    Without this flag (and without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES), anytime a
-	    mempolicy is rebound because of a change in the set of allowed
-	    nodes, the node (Preferred) or nodemask (Bind, Interleave) is
-	    remapped to the new set of allowed nodes.  That remap may not
-	    preserve the relative nature of the user's passed nodemask to its
-	    set of allowed nodes upon successive rebinds: a nodemask of
-	    1,3,5 may be remapped to 7-9 and then to 1-3 if the set of
-	    allowed nodes is restored to its original state.
-
-	    With this flag, the remap is done so that the node numbers from
-	    the user's passed nodemask are relative to the set of allowed
-	    nodes.  In other words, if nodes 0, 2, and 4 are set in the user's
-	    nodemask, the policy will be effected over the first (and in the
-	    Bind or Interleave case, the third and fifth) nodes in the set of
-	    allowed nodes.  The nodemask passed by the user represents nodes
-	    relative to task or VMA's set of allowed nodes.
-
-	    If the user's nodemask includes nodes that are outside the range
-	    of the new set of allowed nodes (for example, node 5 is set in
-	    the user's nodemask when the set of allowed nodes is only 0-3),
-	    then the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and,
-	    if not already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask.
-
-	    For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with
-	    mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with
-	    MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the
-	    interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-7.  If the cpuset's mems
-	    then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes
-	    0,2-3,5.
-
-	    Thanks to the consistent remapping, applications preparing
-	    nodemasks to specify memory policies using this flag should
-	    disregard their current, actual cpuset imposed memory placement
-	    and prepare the nodemask as if they were always located on
-	    memory nodes 0 to N-1, where N is the number of memory nodes the
-	    policy is intended to manage.  Let the kernel then remap to the
-	    set of memory nodes allowed by the task's cpuset, as that may
-	    change over time.
-
-	    MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES cannot be combined with the
-	    MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag.  It also cannot be used for
-	    MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask
-	    (local allocation).
-
-MEMORY POLICY REFERENCE COUNTING
-
-To resolve use/free races, struct mempolicy contains an atomic reference
-count field.  Internal interfaces, mpol_get()/mpol_put() increment and
-decrement this reference count, respectively.  mpol_put() will only free
-the structure back to the mempolicy kmem cache when the reference count
-goes to zero.
-
-When a new memory policy is allocated, its reference count is initialized
-to '1', representing the reference held by the task that is installing the
-new policy.  When a pointer to a memory policy structure is stored in another
-structure, another reference is added, as the task's reference will be dropped
-on completion of the policy installation.
-
-During run-time "usage" of the policy, we attempt to minimize atomic operations
-on the reference count, as this can lead to cache lines bouncing between cpus
-and NUMA nodes.  "Usage" here means one of the following:
-
-1) querying of the policy, either by the task itself [using the get_mempolicy()
-   API discussed below] or by another task using the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
-   interface.
-
-2) examination of the policy to determine the policy mode and associated node
-   or node lists, if any, for page allocation.  This is considered a "hot
-   path".  Note that for MPOL_BIND, the "usage" extends across the entire
-   allocation process, which may sleep during page reclaimation, because the
-   BIND policy nodemask is used, by reference, to filter ineligible nodes.
-
-We can avoid taking an extra reference during the usages listed above as
-follows:
-
-1) we never need to get/free the system default policy as this is never
-   changed nor freed, once the system is up and running.
-
-2) for querying the policy, we do not need to take an extra reference on the
-   target task's task policy nor vma policies because we always acquire the
-   task's mm's mmap_sem for read during the query.  The set_mempolicy() and
-   mbind() APIs [see below] always acquire the mmap_sem for write when
-   installing or replacing task or vma policies.  Thus, there is no possibility
-   of a task or thread freeing a policy while another task or thread is
-   querying it.
-
-3) Page allocation usage of task or vma policy occurs in the fault path where
-   we hold them mmap_sem for read.  Again, because replacing the task or vma
-   policy requires that the mmap_sem be held for write, the policy can't be
-   freed out from under us while we're using it for page allocation.
-
-4) Shared policies require special consideration.  One task can replace a
-   shared memory policy while another task, with a distinct mmap_sem, is
-   querying or allocating a page based on the policy.  To resolve this
-   potential race, the shared policy infrastructure adds an extra reference
-   to the shared policy during lookup while holding a spin lock on the shared
-   policy management structure.  This requires that we drop this extra
-   reference when we're finished "using" the policy.  We must drop the
-   extra reference on shared policies in the same query/allocation paths
-   used for non-shared policies.  For this reason, shared policies are marked
-   as such, and the extra reference is dropped "conditionally"--i.e., only
-   for shared policies.
-
-   Because of this extra reference counting, and because we must lookup
-   shared policies in a tree structure under spinlock, shared policies are
-   more expensive to use in the page allocation path.  This is especially
-   true for shared policies on shared memory regions shared by tasks running
-   on different NUMA nodes.  This extra overhead can be avoided by always
-   falling back to task or system default policy for shared memory regions,
-   or by prefaulting the entire shared memory region into memory and locking
-   it down.  However, this might not be appropriate for all applications.
-
-MEMORY POLICY APIs
-
-Linux supports 3 system calls for controlling memory policy.  These APIS
-always affect only the calling task, the calling task's address space, or
-some shared object mapped into the calling task's address space.
-
-	Note:  the headers that define these APIs and the parameter data types
-	for user space applications reside in a package that is not part of
-	the Linux kernel.  The kernel system call interfaces, with the 'sys_'
-	prefix, are defined in <linux/syscalls.h>; the mode and flag
-	definitions are defined in <linux/mempolicy.h>.
-
-Set [Task] Memory Policy:
-
-	long set_mempolicy(int mode, const unsigned long *nmask,
-					unsigned long maxnode);
-
-	Set's the calling task's "task/process memory policy" to mode
-	specified by the 'mode' argument and the set of nodes defined
-	by 'nmask'.  'nmask' points to a bit mask of node ids containing
-	at least 'maxnode' ids.  Optional mode flags may be passed by
-	combining the 'mode' argument with the flag (for example:
-	MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES).
-
-	See the set_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
-
-
-Get [Task] Memory Policy or Related Information
-
-	long get_mempolicy(int *mode,
-			   const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
-			   void *addr, int flags);
-
-	Queries the "task/process memory policy" of the calling task, or
-	the policy or location of a specified virtual address, depending
-	on the 'flags' argument.
-
-	See the get_mempolicy(2) man page for more details
-
-
-Install VMA/Shared Policy for a Range of Task's Address Space
-
-	long mbind(void *start, unsigned long len, int mode,
-		   const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode,
-		   unsigned flags);
-
-	mbind() installs the policy specified by (mode, nmask, maxnodes) as
-	a VMA policy for the range of the calling task's address space
-	specified by the 'start' and 'len' arguments.  Additional actions
-	may be requested via the 'flags' argument.
-
-	See the mbind(2) man page for more details.
-
-MEMORY POLICY COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
-
-Although not strictly part of the Linux implementation of memory policy,
-a command line tool, numactl(8), exists that allows one to:
-
-+ set the task policy for a specified program via set_mempolicy(2), fork(2) and
-  exec(2)
-
-+ set the shared policy for a shared memory segment via mbind(2)
-
-The numactl(8) tool is packaged with the run-time version of the library
-containing the memory policy system call wrappers.  Some distributions
-package the headers and compile-time libraries in a separate development
-package.
-
-
-MEMORY POLICIES AND CPUSETS
-
-Memory policies work within cpusets as described above.  For memory policies
-that require a node or set of nodes, the nodes are restricted to the set of
-nodes whose memories are allowed by the cpuset constraints.  If the nodemask
-specified for the policy contains nodes that are not allowed by the cpuset and
-MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is not used, the intersection of the set of nodes
-specified for the policy and the set of nodes with memory is used.  If the
-result is the empty set, the policy is considered invalid and cannot be
-installed.  If MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is used, the policy's nodes are mapped
-onto and folded into the task's set of allowed nodes as previously described.
-
-The interaction of memory policies and cpusets can be problematic when tasks
-in two cpusets share access to a memory region, such as shared memory segments
-created by shmget() of mmap() with the MAP_ANONYMOUS and MAP_SHARED flags, and
-any of the tasks install shared policy on the region, only nodes whose
-memories are allowed in both cpusets may be used in the policies.  Obtaining
-this information requires "stepping outside" the memory policy APIs to use the
-cpuset information and requires that one know in what cpusets other task might
-be attaching to the shared region.  Furthermore, if the cpusets' allowed
-memory sets are disjoint, "local" allocation is the only valid policy.

+.. _slub:
+
+==========================
+Short users guide for SLUB
+==========================
+
+The basic philosophy of SLUB is very different from SLAB. SLAB
+requires rebuilding the kernel to activate debug options for all
+slab caches. SLUB always includes full debugging but it is off by default.
+SLUB can enable debugging only for selected slabs in order to avoid
+an impact on overall system performance which may make a bug more
+difficult to find.
+
+In order to switch debugging on one can add an option ``slub_debug``
+to the kernel command line. That will enable full debugging for
+all slabs.
+
+Typically one would then use the ``slabinfo`` command to get statistical
+data and perform operation on the slabs. By default ``slabinfo`` only lists
+slabs that have data in them. See "slabinfo -h" for more options when
+running the command. ``slabinfo`` can be compiled with
+::
+
+	gcc -o slabinfo tools/vm/slabinfo.c
+
+Some of the modes of operation of ``slabinfo`` require that slub debugging
+be enabled on the command line. F.e. no tracking information will be
+available without debugging on and validation can only partially
+be performed if debugging was not switched on.
+
+Some more sophisticated uses of slub_debug:
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Parameters may be given to ``slub_debug``. If none is specified then full
+debugging is enabled. Format:
+
+slub_debug=<Debug-Options>
+	Enable options for all slabs
+slub_debug=<Debug-Options>,<slab name>
+	Enable options only for select slabs
+
+
+Possible debug options are::
+
+	F		Sanity checks on (enables SLAB_DEBUG_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS
+			Sorry SLAB legacy issues)
+	Z		Red zoning
+	P		Poisoning (object and padding)
+	U		User tracking (free and alloc)
+	T		Trace (please only use on single slabs)
+	A		Toggle failslab filter mark for the cache
+	O		Switch debugging off for caches that would have
+			caused higher minimum slab orders
+	-		Switch all debugging off (useful if the kernel is
+			configured with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
+
+F.e. in order to boot just with sanity checks and red zoning one would specify::
+
+	slub_debug=FZ
+
+Trying to find an issue in the dentry cache? Try::
+
+	slub_debug=,dentry
+
+to only enable debugging on the dentry cache.
+
+Red zoning and tracking may realign the slab.  We can just apply sanity checks
+to the dentry cache with::
+
+	slub_debug=F,dentry
+
+Debugging options may require the minimum possible slab order to increase as
+a result of storing the metadata (for example, caches with PAGE_SIZE object
+sizes).  This has a higher liklihood of resulting in slab allocation errors
+in low memory situations or if there's high fragmentation of memory.  To
+switch off debugging for such caches by default, use::
+
+	slub_debug=O
+
+In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line: It is
+possible to enable debugging manually when the kernel is up. Look at the
+contents of::
+
+	/sys/kernel/slab/<slab name>/
+
+Look at the writable files. Writing 1 to them will enable the
+corresponding debug option. All options can be set on a slab that does
+not contain objects. If the slab already contains objects then sanity checks
+and tracing may only be enabled. The other options may cause the realignment
+of objects.
+
+Careful with tracing: It may spew out lots of information and never stop if
+used on the wrong slab.
+
+Slab merging
+============
+
+If no debug options are specified then SLUB may merge similar slabs together
+in order to reduce overhead and increase cache hotness of objects.
+``slabinfo -a`` displays which slabs were merged together.
+
+Slab validation
+===============
+
+SLUB can validate all object if the kernel was booted with slub_debug. In
+order to do so you must have the ``slabinfo`` tool. Then you can do
+::
+
+	slabinfo -v
+
+which will test all objects. Output will be generated to the syslog.
+
+This also works in a more limited way if boot was without slab debug.
+In that case ``slabinfo -v`` simply tests all reachable objects. Usually
+these are in the cpu slabs and the partial slabs. Full slabs are not
+tracked by SLUB in a non debug situation.
+
+Getting more performance
+========================
+
+To some degree SLUB's performance is limited by the need to take the
+list_lock once in a while to deal with partial slabs. That overhead is
+governed by the order of the allocation for each slab. The allocations
+can be influenced by kernel parameters:
+
+.. slub_min_objects=x		(default 4)
+.. slub_min_order=x		(default 0)
+.. slub_max_order=x		(default 3 (PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER))
+
+``slub_min_objects``
+	allows to specify how many objects must at least fit into one
+	slab in order for the allocation order to be acceptable.  In
+	general slub will be able to perform this number of
+	allocations on a slab without consulting centralized resources
+	(list_lock) where contention may occur.
+
+``slub_min_order``
+	specifies a minim order of slabs. A similar effect like
+	``slub_min_objects``.
+
+``slub_max_order``
+	specified the order at which ``slub_min_objects`` should no
+	longer be checked. This is useful to avoid SLUB trying to
+	generate super large order pages to fit ``slub_min_objects``
+	of a slab cache with large object sizes into one high order
+	page. Setting command line parameter
+	``debug_guardpage_minorder=N`` (N > 0), forces setting
+	``slub_max_order`` to 0, what cause minimum possible order of
+	slabs allocation.

+ FIX kmalloc-8: Restoring Redzone 0xc90f6d28-0xc90f6d2b=0xcc
+
+If SLUB encounters a corrupted object (full detection requires the kernel
+to be booted with slub_debug) then the following output will be dumped
+into the syslog:
+
+1. Description of the problem encountered
+
+   This will be a message in the system log starting with::
+
+     ===============================================
+     BUG <slab cache affected>: <What went wrong>
+     -----------------------------------------------
+
+     INFO: <corruption start>-<corruption_end> <more info>
+     INFO: Slab <address> <slab information>
+     INFO: Object <address> <object information>
+     INFO: Allocated in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since alloc> cpu=<allocated by
+	cpu> pid=<pid of the process>
+     INFO: Freed in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since free> cpu=<freed by cpu>
+	pid=<pid of the process>
+
+   (Object allocation / free information is only available if SLAB_STORE_USER is
+   set for the slab. slub_debug sets that option)
+
+2. The object contents if an object was involved.
+
+   Various types of lines can follow the BUG SLUB line:
+
+   Bytes b4 <address> : <bytes>
+	Shows a few bytes before the object where the problem was detected.
+	Can be useful if the corruption does not stop with the start of the
+	object.
+
+   Object <address> : <bytes>
+	The bytes of the object. If the object is inactive then the bytes
+	typically contain poison values. Any non-poison value shows a
+	corruption by a write after free.
+
+   Redzone <address> : <bytes>
+	The Redzone following the object. The Redzone is used to detect
+	writes after the object. All bytes should always have the same
+	value. If there is any deviation then it is due to a write after
+	the object boundary.
+
+	(Redzone information is only available if SLAB_RED_ZONE is set.
+	slub_debug sets that option)
+
+   Padding <address> : <bytes>
+	Unused data to fill up the space in order to get the next object
+	properly aligned. In the debug case we make sure that there are
+	at least 4 bytes of padding. This allows the detection of writes
+	before the object.
+
+3. A stackdump
+
+   The stackdump describes the location where the error was detected. The cause
+   of the corruption is may be more likely found by looking at the function that
+   allocated or freed the object.
+
+4. Report on how the problem was dealt with in order to ensure the continued
+   operation of the system.
+
+   These are messages in the system log beginning with::
+
+	FIX <slab cache affected>: <corrective action taken>
+
+   In the above sample SLUB found that the Redzone of an active object has
+   been overwritten. Here a string of 8 characters was written into a slab that
+   has the length of 8 characters. However, a 8 character string needs a
+   terminating 0. That zero has overwritten the first byte of the Redzone field.
+   After reporting the details of the issue encountered the FIX SLUB message
+   tells us that SLUB has restored the Redzone to its proper value and then
+   system operations continue.
+
+Emergency operations
+====================
+
+Minimal debugging (sanity checks alone) can be enabled by booting with::
+
+	slub_debug=F
+
+This will be generally be enough to enable the resiliency features of slub
+which will keep the system running even if a bad kernel component will
+keep corrupting objects. This may be important for production systems.
+Performance will be impacted by the sanity checks and there will be a
+continual stream of error messages to the syslog but no additional memory
+will be used (unlike full debugging).
+
+No guarantees. The kernel component still needs to be fixed. Performance
+may be optimized further by locating the slab that experiences corruption
+and enabling debugging only for that cache
+
+I.e.::
+
+	slub_debug=F,dentry
+
+If the corruption occurs by writing after the end of the object then it
+may be advisable to enable a Redzone to avoid corrupting the beginning
+of other objects::
+
+	slub_debug=FZ,dentry
+
+Extended slabinfo mode and plotting
+===================================
+
+The ``slabinfo`` tool has a special 'extended' ('-X') mode that includes:
+ - Slabcache Totals
+ - Slabs sorted by size (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
+ - Slabs sorted by loss (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
+
+Additionally, in this mode ``slabinfo`` does not dynamically scale
+sizes (G/M/K) and reports everything in bytes (this functionality is
+also available to other slabinfo modes via '-B' option) which makes
+reporting more precise and accurate. Moreover, in some sense the `-X'
+mode also simplifies the analysis of slabs' behaviour, because its
+output can be plotted using the ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script. So it
+pushes the analysis from looking through the numbers (tons of numbers)
+to something easier -- visual analysis.
+
+To generate plots:
+
+a) collect slabinfo extended records, for example::
+
+	while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1; done
+
+b) pass stats file(-s) to ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script::
+
+	slabinfo-gnuplot.sh FOO_STATS [FOO_STATS2 .. FOO_STATSN]
+
+   The ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script will pre-processes the collected records
+   and generates 3 png files (and 3 pre-processing cache files) per STATS
+   file:
+   - Slabcache Totals: FOO_STATS-totals.png
+   - Slabs sorted by size: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-size.png
+   - Slabs sorted by loss: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-loss.png
+
+Another use case, when ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` can be useful, is when you
+need to compare slabs' behaviour "prior to" and "after" some code
+modification.  To help you out there, ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` script
+can 'merge' the `Slabcache Totals` sections from different
+measurements. To visually compare N plots:
+
+a) Collect as many STATS1, STATS2, .. STATSN files as you need::
+
+	while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> STATS<X>; sleep 1; done
+
+b) Pre-process those STATS files::
+
+	slabinfo-gnuplot.sh STATS1 STATS2 .. STATSN
+
+c) Execute ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` in '-t' mode, passing all of the
+   generated pre-processed \*-totals::
+
+	slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -t STATS1-totals STATS2-totals .. STATSN-totals
+
+   This will produce a single plot (png file).
+
+   Plots, expectedly, can be large so some fluctuations or small spikes
+   can go unnoticed. To deal with that, ``slabinfo-gnuplot.sh`` has two
+   options to 'zoom-in'/'zoom-out':
+
+   a) ``-s %d,%d`` -- overwrites the default image width and heigh
+   b) ``-r %d,%d`` -- specifies a range of samples to use (for example,

-Short users guide for SLUB
---------------------------
-
-The basic philosophy of SLUB is very different from SLAB. SLAB
-requires rebuilding the kernel to activate debug options for all
-slab caches. SLUB always includes full debugging but it is off by default.
-SLUB can enable debugging only for selected slabs in order to avoid
-an impact on overall system performance which may make a bug more
-difficult to find.
-
-In order to switch debugging on one can add an option "slub_debug"
-to the kernel command line. That will enable full debugging for
-all slabs.
-
-Typically one would then use the "slabinfo" command to get statistical
-data and perform operation on the slabs. By default slabinfo only lists
-slabs that have data in them. See "slabinfo -h" for more options when
-running the command. slabinfo can be compiled with
-
-gcc -o slabinfo tools/vm/slabinfo.c
-
-Some of the modes of operation of slabinfo require that slub debugging
-be enabled on the command line. F.e. no tracking information will be
-available without debugging on and validation can only partially
-be performed if debugging was not switched on.
-
-Some more sophisticated uses of slub_debug:
--------------------------------------------
-
-Parameters may be given to slub_debug. If none is specified then full
-debugging is enabled. Format:
-
-slub_debug=<Debug-Options>       Enable options for all slabs
-slub_debug=<Debug-Options>,<slab name>
-				Enable options only for select slabs
-
-Possible debug options are
-	F		Sanity checks on (enables SLAB_DEBUG_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS
-			Sorry SLAB legacy issues)
-	Z		Red zoning
-	P		Poisoning (object and padding)
-	U		User tracking (free and alloc)
-	T		Trace (please only use on single slabs)
-	A		Toggle failslab filter mark for the cache
-	O		Switch debugging off for caches that would have
-			caused higher minimum slab orders
-	-		Switch all debugging off (useful if the kernel is
-			configured with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
-
-F.e. in order to boot just with sanity checks and red zoning one would specify:
-
-	slub_debug=FZ
-
-Trying to find an issue in the dentry cache? Try
-
-	slub_debug=,dentry
-
-to only enable debugging on the dentry cache.
-
-Red zoning and tracking may realign the slab.  We can just apply sanity checks
-to the dentry cache with
-
-	slub_debug=F,dentry
-
-Debugging options may require the minimum possible slab order to increase as
-a result of storing the metadata (for example, caches with PAGE_SIZE object
-sizes).  This has a higher liklihood of resulting in slab allocation errors
-in low memory situations or if there's high fragmentation of memory.  To
-switch off debugging for such caches by default, use
-
-	slub_debug=O
-
-In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line: It is
-possible to enable debugging manually when the kernel is up. Look at the
-contents of:
-
-/sys/kernel/slab/<slab name>/
-
-Look at the writable files. Writing 1 to them will enable the
-corresponding debug option. All options can be set on a slab that does
-not contain objects. If the slab already contains objects then sanity checks
-and tracing may only be enabled. The other options may cause the realignment
-of objects.
-
-Careful with tracing: It may spew out lots of information and never stop if
-used on the wrong slab.
-
-Slab merging
-------------
-
-If no debug options are specified then SLUB may merge similar slabs together
-in order to reduce overhead and increase cache hotness of objects.
-slabinfo -a displays which slabs were merged together.
-
-Slab validation
----------------
-
-SLUB can validate all object if the kernel was booted with slub_debug. In
-order to do so you must have the slabinfo tool. Then you can do
-
-slabinfo -v
-
-which will test all objects. Output will be generated to the syslog.
-
-This also works in a more limited way if boot was without slab debug.
-In that case slabinfo -v simply tests all reachable objects. Usually
-these are in the cpu slabs and the partial slabs. Full slabs are not
-tracked by SLUB in a non debug situation.
-
-Getting more performance
-------------------------
-
-To some degree SLUB's performance is limited by the need to take the
-list_lock once in a while to deal with partial slabs. That overhead is
-governed by the order of the allocation for each slab. The allocations
-can be influenced by kernel parameters:
-
-slub_min_objects=x		(default 4)
-slub_min_order=x		(default 0)
-slub_max_order=x		(default 3 (PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER))
-
-slub_min_objects allows to specify how many objects must at least fit
-into one slab in order for the allocation order to be acceptable.
-In general slub will be able to perform this number of allocations
-on a slab without consulting centralized resources (list_lock) where
-contention may occur.
-
-slub_min_order specifies a minim order of slabs. A similar effect like
-slub_min_objects.
-
-slub_max_order specified the order at which slub_min_objects should no
-longer be checked. This is useful to avoid SLUB trying to generate
-super large order pages to fit slub_min_objects of a slab cache with
-large object sizes into one high order page. Setting command line
-parameter debug_guardpage_minorder=N (N > 0), forces setting
-slub_max_order to 0, what cause minimum possible order of slabs
-allocation.

-FIX kmalloc-8: Restoring Redzone 0xc90f6d28-0xc90f6d2b=0xcc
-
-If SLUB encounters a corrupted object (full detection requires the kernel
-to be booted with slub_debug) then the following output will be dumped
-into the syslog:
-
-1. Description of the problem encountered
-
-This will be a message in the system log starting with
-
-===============================================
-BUG <slab cache affected>: <What went wrong>
------------------------------------------------
-
-INFO: <corruption start>-<corruption_end> <more info>
-INFO: Slab <address> <slab information>
-INFO: Object <address> <object information>
-INFO: Allocated in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since alloc> cpu=<allocated by
-	cpu> pid=<pid of the process>
-INFO: Freed in <kernel function> age=<jiffies since free> cpu=<freed by cpu>
-	 pid=<pid of the process>
-
-(Object allocation / free information is only available if SLAB_STORE_USER is
-set for the slab. slub_debug sets that option)
-
-2. The object contents if an object was involved.
-
-Various types of lines can follow the BUG SLUB line:
-
-Bytes b4 <address> : <bytes>
-	Shows a few bytes before the object where the problem was detected.
-	Can be useful if the corruption does not stop with the start of the
-	object.
-
-Object <address> : <bytes>
-	The bytes of the object. If the object is inactive then the bytes
-	typically contain poison values. Any non-poison value shows a
-	corruption by a write after free.
-
-Redzone <address> : <bytes>
-	The Redzone following the object. The Redzone is used to detect
-	writes after the object. All bytes should always have the same
-	value. If there is any deviation then it is due to a write after
-	the object boundary.
-
-	(Redzone information is only available if SLAB_RED_ZONE is set.
-	slub_debug sets that option)
-
-Padding <address> : <bytes>
-	Unused data to fill up the space in order to get the next object
-	properly aligned. In the debug case we make sure that there are
-	at least 4 bytes of padding. This allows the detection of writes
-	before the object.
-
-3. A stackdump
-
-The stackdump describes the location where the error was detected. The cause
-of the corruption is may be more likely found by looking at the function that
-allocated or freed the object.
-
-4. Report on how the problem was dealt with in order to ensure the continued
-operation of the system.
-
-These are messages in the system log beginning with
-
-FIX <slab cache affected>: <corrective action taken>
-
-In the above sample SLUB found that the Redzone of an active object has
-been overwritten. Here a string of 8 characters was written into a slab that
-has the length of 8 characters. However, a 8 character string needs a
-terminating 0. That zero has overwritten the first byte of the Redzone field.
-After reporting the details of the issue encountered the FIX SLUB message
-tells us that SLUB has restored the Redzone to its proper value and then
-system operations continue.
-
-Emergency operations:
----------------------
-
-Minimal debugging (sanity checks alone) can be enabled by booting with
-
-	slub_debug=F
-
-This will be generally be enough to enable the resiliency features of slub
-which will keep the system running even if a bad kernel component will
-keep corrupting objects. This may be important for production systems.
-Performance will be impacted by the sanity checks and there will be a
-continual stream of error messages to the syslog but no additional memory
-will be used (unlike full debugging).
-
-No guarantees. The kernel component still needs to be fixed. Performance
-may be optimized further by locating the slab that experiences corruption
-and enabling debugging only for that cache
-
-I.e.
-
-	slub_debug=F,dentry
-
-If the corruption occurs by writing after the end of the object then it
-may be advisable to enable a Redzone to avoid corrupting the beginning
-of other objects.
-
-	slub_debug=FZ,dentry
-
-Extended slabinfo mode and plotting
------------------------------------
-
-The slabinfo tool has a special 'extended' ('-X') mode that includes:
- - Slabcache Totals
- - Slabs sorted by size (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
- - Slabs sorted by loss (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
-
-Additionally, in this mode slabinfo does not dynamically scale sizes (G/M/K)
-and reports everything in bytes (this functionality is also available to
-other slabinfo modes via '-B' option) which makes reporting more precise and
-accurate. Moreover, in some sense the `-X' mode also simplifies the analysis
-of slabs' behaviour, because its output can be plotted using the
-slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script. So it pushes the analysis from looking through
-the numbers (tons of numbers) to something easier -- visual analysis.
-
-To generate plots:
-a) collect slabinfo extended records, for example:
-
-  while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1; done
-
-b) pass stats file(-s) to slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script:
-  slabinfo-gnuplot.sh FOO_STATS [FOO_STATS2 .. FOO_STATSN]
-
-The slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script will pre-processes the collected records
-and generates 3 png files (and 3 pre-processing cache files) per STATS
-file:
- - Slabcache Totals: FOO_STATS-totals.png
- - Slabs sorted by size: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-size.png
- - Slabs sorted by loss: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-loss.png
-
-Another use case, when slabinfo-gnuplot can be useful, is when you need
-to compare slabs' behaviour "prior to" and "after" some code modification.
-To help you out there, slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script can 'merge' the
-`Slabcache Totals` sections from different measurements. To visually
-compare N plots:
-
-a) Collect as many STATS1, STATS2, .. STATSN files as you need
-  while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> STATS<X>; sleep 1; done
-
-b) Pre-process those STATS files
-  slabinfo-gnuplot.sh STATS1 STATS2 .. STATSN
-
-c) Execute slabinfo-gnuplot.sh in '-t' mode, passing all of the
-generated pre-processed *-totals
-  slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -t STATS1-totals STATS2-totals .. STATSN-totals
-
-This will produce a single plot (png file).
-
-Plots, expectedly, can be large so some fluctuations or small spikes
-can go unnoticed. To deal with that, `slabinfo-gnuplot.sh' has two
-options to 'zoom-in'/'zoom-out':
- a) -s %d,%d  overwrites the default image width and heigh
- b) -r %d,%d  specifies a range of samples to use (for example,
-              in `slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1;' case, using
-              a "-r 40,60" range will plot only samples collected
-              between 40th and 60th seconds).
