In __ceph_build_xattrs_blob(), if a ceph inode's extended attributes
are marked dirty, all attributes recorded in its rb_tree index are
formatted into a "blob" buffer. The target buffer is recorded in
ceph_inode->i_xattrs.prealloc_blob, and it is expected to exist and
be of sufficient size to hold the attributes.
The extended attributes are marked dirty in two cases: when a new
attribute is added to the inode; or when one is removed. In the
former case work is done to ensure the prealloc_blob buffer is
properly set up, but in the latter it is not.
Change the logic in ceph_removexattr() so it matches what is
done in ceph_setxattr(). Note that this is done in a way that
keeps the two blocks of code nearly identical, in anticipation
of a subsequent patch that encapsulates some of this logic into
one or more helper routines.

New rbd device structures get initialized in rbd_add(). Many of
the fields rely on being initially zero-filled. However we lockdep
was noticing that the rw_semaphore embedded in the header field
was not getting properly initialized. Fix that.

Enable/disable use of the dentry dir 'complete' flag via a mount option.
This lets the admin control whether ceph uses the dcache to satisfy
negative lookups or readdir when it has the entire directory contents in
its cache.
This is purely a performance optimization; correctness is guaranteed
whether it is enabled or not.

When open_root_dentry() gets a dentry via d_obtain_alias() it does
not get initialized. If the dentry obtained came from the cache,
this is OK. But if not, the result is an improperly initialized
dentry.
To fix this, call ceph_init_dentry() regardless of which path
produced the dentry. That function returns immediately for a dentry
that is already initialized, it is safe to use either way.
(Credit to Sage, who suggested this fix.)

Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).
This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.
- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.
The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch
adds auxilary prctl codes for that.
While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values
are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
prctl calls:
- The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
- For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
such as:
- code segment must be executable but not writable;
- data segment must not be executable.
start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.
Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.
Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

The mm->start_code/end_code, mm->start_data/end_data, mm->start_brk are
involved into calculation of program text/data segment sizes (which might
be seen in /proc/<pid>/statm) and into brk() call final address.
For restore we need to know all these values. While
mm->start_code/end_code already present in /proc/$pid/stat, the rest
members are not, so this patch brings them in.
The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using
prctl().

For checkpoint/restore we need auxilary features being compiled into the
kernel, such as additional prctl codes, /proc/<pid>/map_files and etc...
but same time these features are not mandatory for a regular kernel so
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE config symbol should bring a way to disable them all at
once if one wish to get rid of additional functionality.

Bring a first selftest in the relevant directory. This tests several
combinations of breakpoints and watchpoints in x86, as well as icebp traps
and int3 traps. Given the amount of breakpoint regressions we raised
after we merged the generic breakpoint infrastructure, such selftest
became necessary and can still serve today as a basis for new patches that
touch the do_debug() path.

Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests. To
add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a
makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the
subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script.
This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that
developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server.

Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have
shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_
swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache().
You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call
radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on
its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case
it needs to ascend to update them). And if any tag is still set [1],
that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such
192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack. (At least we have
interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.)
That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of
half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated
it unnecessarily. But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each
radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when
freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the
tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock
must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly.
So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the
rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path. There would be
space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can
argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but
recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a
constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that.
Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending,
adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set
tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node
again.
perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2%
slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster.
Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3,
but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster.
[1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be
set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is
well-behaved. But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to
this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set
and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to
use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and
that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a
filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a
major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while
accessing the block size. This is because it has to walk the chain from
block_dev to gendisk to queue.
The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes. It's only
done if the check for the inode block size fails. But the costly block
device state is unconditionally fetched.
- Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually
needed.
Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path. This
is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually
touch the block dev now.
- I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block
device fetch code is not normally executed.
This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database

This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one
less cache miss. Used in followon optimization.
The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.
This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
it's visible to block_devices. I think that's safe correct?

In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some
tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned. But
actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd. See the
following example:
dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096
(direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024). The same goes if the offset
isn't aligned to fs_blocksize.
In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we
will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096). The old code
just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate
and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4). So we'd better call
get_block just once with the proper fs_count.

When an oops causes a panic and panic prints another backtrace it's pretty
common to have the original oops data be scrolled away on a 80x50 screen.
The second backtrace is quite redundant and not needed anyways.
So don't print the panic backtrace when oops_in_progress is true.

The sysctl works on the current task's pid namespace, getting and setting
its last_pid field.
Writing is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN-capable tasks thus making it possible
to create a task with desired pid value. This ability is required badly
for the checkpoint/restore in userspace.
This approach suits all the parties for now.

Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are
generated:
# udevadm monitor
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state
==> No event
When kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and
stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header. Therefore, for kdump it
is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory
configuration changes (e.g. for online/offline hotplug memory).
In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used. This kernel
patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline". Together with this
kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added
to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules":
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"

Building an ARM target we get the following warnings:

In file included from arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:24:
include/linux/crash_dump.h:30:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
Quoting Russell King:
"linux/crash_dump.h makes no attempt to include asm/elf.h, but it depends
on stuff in asm/elf.h to determine how stuff inside this file is defined
at parse time.
So, if asm/elf.h is included after linux/crash_dump.h or not at all, you
get a different result from the situation where asm/elf.h is included
before."
So add elf.h header to crash_dump.h to avoid this problem.

When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race
condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the
second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished
on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore
kdump fails:
1st CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump
2nd CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU
->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump)
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that
allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic
code.
All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the
CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For
example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been
defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is
not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately
resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390
implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().
To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not
initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when
"crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".
In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs.
"ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.

When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for
the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment.
Example:
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
<<-- here is System RAM missing
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline
using memory hotplug. With this patch I insert a new "System RAM"
resource for the released memory. Then the upper example looks like the
following:
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM <<-- new rescoure
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.

If either of the vas or vms arrays are not properly kzalloced, then the
code jumps to the err_free label.
The err_free label runs a loop to check and free each of the array members
of the vas and vms arrays which is not required for this situation as none
of the array members have been allocated till this point.
Eliminate the extra loop we have to go through by introducing a new label
err_free2 and then jumping to it.

There is sometimes confusion between the global putback_lru_pages() in
migrate.c and the static putback_lru_pages() in vmscan.c: rename the
latter putback_inactive_pages(): it helps shrink_inactive_list() rather as
move_active_pages_to_lru() helps shrink_active_list().
Remove unused scan_control arg from putback_inactive_pages() and from
update_isolated_counts(). Move clear_active_flags() inside
update_isolated_counts(). Move NR_ISOLATED accounting up into
shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer.
Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and
spin_unlock_irq() after return from it, so that it better matches
update_isolated_counts() and move_active_pages_to_lru().

Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru()
by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's
free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release().
Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever
pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces
(which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly,
removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim.
Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with
a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in
deep backtraces.
However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages
(nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the
time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible
for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left
holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely
compound case before putting on pages_to_free.
Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru().
The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c,
but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

If DEBUG_VM, mem_cgroup_print_bad_page() is called whenever bad_page()
shows a "Bad page state" message, removes page from circulation, adds a
taint and continues. This is at a very low level, often when a spinlock
is held (sometimes when page table lock is held, for example).
We want to recover from this badness, not make it worse: we must not
kmalloc memory here, we must not do a cgroup path lookup via dubious
pointers. No doubt that code was useful to debug a particular case at one
time, and may be again, but take it out of the mainline kernel.

This patch started off as a cleanup: __split_huge_page_refcounts() has to
cope with two scenarios, when the hugepage being split is already on LRU,
and when it is not; but why does it have to split that accounting across
three different sites? Consolidate it in lru_add_page_tail(), handling
evictable and unevictable alike, and use standard add_page_to_lru_list()
when accounting is needed (when the head is not yet on LRU).
But a recent regression in -next, I guess the removal of PageCgroupAcctLRU
test from mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup(), makes this now a necessary fix:
under load, the MEM_CGROUP_ZSTAT count was wrapping to a huge number,
messing up reclaim calculations and causing a freeze at rmdir of cgroup.
Add a VM_BUG_ON to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() when we're about to wrap that
count - this has not been the only such incident. Document that
lru_add_page_tail() is for Transparent HugePages by #ifdef around it.

is true for one zone
If compaction can proceed for a given zone, shrink_zones() does not
reclaim any more pages from it. After commit [e0c2327: vmscan: abort
reclaim/compaction if compaction can proceed], do_try_to_free_pages()
tries to finish as soon as possible once one zone can compact.
This was intended to prevent slabs being shrunk unnecessarily but there
are side-effects. One is that a small zone that is ready for compaction
will abort reclaim even if the chances of successfully allocating a THP
from that zone is small. It also means that reclaim can return too early
even though sc->nr_to_reclaim pages were not reclaimed.
This partially reverts the commit until it is proven that slabs are really
being shrunk unnecessarily but preserves the check to return 1 to avoid
OOM if reclaim was aborted prematurely.

pages available
In commit e0887c19 ("vmscan: limit direct reclaim for higher order
allocations"), Rik noted that reclaim was too aggressive when THP was
enabled. In his initial patch he used the number of free pages to decide
if reclaim should abort for compaction. My feedback was that reclaim and
compaction should be using the same logic when deciding if reclaim should
be aborted.
Unfortunately, this had the effect of reducing THP success rates when the
workload included something like streaming reads that continually
allocated pages. The window during which compaction could run and return
a THP was too small.
This patch combines Rik's two patches together. compaction_suitable() is
still used to decide if reclaim should be aborted to allow compaction is
used. However, it will also ensure that there is a reasonable buffer of
free pages available. This improves upon the THP allocation success rates
but bounds the number of pages that are freed for compaction.
