oom: keep mm of the killed task available
oom_reap_task has to call exit_oom_victim in order to make sure that the
oom vicim will not block the oom killer for ever. This is, however,

mm,oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twice
"mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twice" tried to give the OOM reaper one more chance to retry using MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag. But the usefulness of the flag is rather limited and actually never shown in practice. If the flag is set, it means that the holder of mm->mmap_sem cannot call up_write() due to presumably being blocked at unkillable wait waiting for other thread's memory allocation. But since one of threads sharing that mm will queue that mm immediately via task_will_free_mem() shortcut (otherwise, oom_badness() will select the same mm again due to oom_score_adj value unchanged), retrying MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE mm is unlikely helpful. Let's always set MMF_OOM_REAPED.

mm,oom_reaper: reduce find_lock_task_mm() usage
Patch series "fortify oom killer even more", v2. This patch (of 9): __oom_reap_task() can be simplified a bit if it receives a valid mm from oom_reap_task() which also uses that mm when __oom_reap_task() failed. We can drop one find_lock_task_mm() call and also make the __oom_reap_task() code flow easier to follow. Moreover, this will make later patch in the series easier to review. Pinning mm's mm_count for longer time is not really harmful because this will not pin much memory. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

mm/page_owner: don't define fields on struct page_ext by hard-coding
There is a memory waste problem if we define field on struct page_ext by hard-coding. Entry size of struct page_ext includes the size of those fields even if it is disabled at runtime. Now, extra memory request at runtime is possible so page_owner don't need to define it's own fields by hard-coding. This patch removes hard-coded define and uses extra memory for storing page_owner information in page_owner. Most of code are just mechanical changes.

mm/page_ext: support extra space allocation by page_ext user
Until now, if some page_ext users want to use it's own field on
page_ext, it should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It
has a problem that wastes memory in following situation.
struct page_ext {
#ifdef CONFIG_A
int a;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_B
int b;
#endif
};
Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we
enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of
struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable
result so this patch tries to fix it.
To solve above problem, this patch implements to support extra space
allocation at runtime. When need() callback returns true, it's extra
memory requirement is summed to entry size of page_ext. Also, offset
for each user's extra memory space is returned. With this offset, user
can use this extra space and there is no need to define needed field on
page_ext by hard-coding.
This patch only implements an infrastructure. Following patch will use
it for page_owner which is only user having it's own fields on page_ext.

mm/debug_pagealloc.c: don't allocate page_ext if we don't use guard page
What debug_pagealloc does is just mapping/unmapping page table. Basically, it doesn't need additional memory space to memorize something. But, with guard page feature, it requires additional memory to distinguish if the page is for guard or not. Guard page is only used when debug_guardpage_minorder is non-zero so this patch removes additional memory allocation (page_ext) if debug_guardpage_minorder is zero. It saves memory if we just use debug_pagealloc and not guard page.

mm/debug_pagealloc.c: clean-up guard page handling code
Patch series "Reduce memory waste by page extension user".
This patchset tries to reduce memory waste by page extension user.
First case is architecture supported debug_pagealloc. It doesn't
requires additional memory if guard page isn't used. 8 bytes per page
will be saved in this case.
Second case is related to page owner feature. Until now, if page_ext
users want to use it's own fields on page_ext, fields should be defined
in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It has a following problem.
struct page_ext {
#ifdef CONFIG_A
int a;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_B
int b;
#endif
};
Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we
enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of
struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable
waste so this patch tries to reduce it. By this patchset, we can save
20 bytes per page dedicated for page owner feature in some
configurations.
This patch (of 6):
We can make code clean by moving decision condition for set_page_guard()
into set_page_guard() itself. It will help code readability. There is
no functional change.

mm, vmscan: get rid of throttle_vm_writeout
throttle_vm_writeout() was introduced back in 2005 to fix OOMs caused by
excessive pageout activity during the reclaim. Too many pages could be
put under writeback therefore LRUs would be full of unreclaimable pages
until the IO completes and in turn the OOM killer could be invoked.
There have been some important changes introduced since then in the
reclaim path though. Writers are throttled by balance_dirty_pages when
initiating the buffered IO and later during the memory pressure, the
direct reclaim is throttled by wait_iff_congested if the node is
considered congested by dirty pages on LRUs and the underlying bdi is
congested by the queued IO. The kswapd is throttled as well if it
encounters pages marked for immediate reclaim or under writeback which
signals that that there are too many pages under writeback already.
Finally should_reclaim_retry does congestion_wait if the reclaim cannot
make any progress and there are too many dirty/writeback pages.
Another important aspect is that we do not issue any IO from the direct
reclaim context anymore. In a heavy parallel load this could queue a
lot of IO which would be very scattered and thus unefficient which would
just make the problem worse.
This three mechanisms should throttle and keep the amount of IO in a
steady state even under heavy IO and memory pressure so yet another
throttling point doesn't really seem helpful. Quite contrary, Mikulas
Patocka has reported that swap backed by dm-crypt doesn't work properly
because the swapout IO cannot make sufficient progress as the writeout
path depends on dm_crypt worker which has to allocate memory to perform
the encryption. In order to guarantee a forward progress it relies on
the mempool allocator. mempool_alloc(), however, prefers to use the
underlying (usually page) allocator before it grabs objects from the
pool. Such an allocation can dive into the memory reclaim and
consequently to throttle_vm_writeout. If there are too many dirty or
pages under writeback it will get throttled even though it is in fact a
flusher to clear pending pages.

Let's just drop throttle_vm_writeout altogether. It is not very much
helpful anymore.
I have tried to test a potential writeback IO runaway similar to the one
described in the original patch which has introduced that [1]. Small
virtual machine (512MB RAM, 4 CPUs, 2G of swap space and disk image on a
rather slow NFS in a sync mode on the host) with 8 parallel writers each
writing 1G worth of data. As soon as the pagecache fills up and the
direct reclaim hits then I start anon memory consumer in a loop
(allocating 300M and exiting after populating it) in the background to
make the memory pressure even stronger as well as to disrupt the steady
state for the IO. The direct reclaim is throttled because of the
congestion as well as kswapd hitting congestion_wait due to nr_immediate
but throttle_vm_writeout doesn't ever trigger the sleep throughout the
test. Dirty+writeback are close to nr_dirty_threshold with some
fluctuations caused by the anon consumer.

mm: fix set pageblock migratetype in deferred struct page init
On x86_64 MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is usually 4M, and a pageblock is usually
2M, so we only set one pageblock's migratetype in deferred_free_range()
if pfn is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. That means it causes
uninitialized migratetype blocks, you can see from "cat
/proc/pagetypeinfo", almost half blocks are Unmovable.
Also we missed freeing the last block in deferred_init_memmap(), it
causes memory leak.

mm, vmscan: make compaction_ready() more accurate and readable
The compaction_ready() is used during direct reclaim for costly order allocations to skip reclaim for zones where compaction should be attempted instead. It's combining the standard compaction_suitable() check with its own watermark check based on high watermark with extra gap, and the result is confusing at best. This patch attempts to better structure and document the checks involved. First, compaction_suitable() can determine that the allocation should either succeed already, or that compaction doesn't have enough free pages to proceed. The third possibility is that compaction has enough free pages, but we still decide to reclaim first - unless we are already above the high watermark with gap. This does not mean that the reclaim will actually reach this watermark during single attempt, this is rather an over-reclaim protection. So document the code as such. The check for compaction_deferred() is removed completely, as it in fact had no proper role here. The result after this patch is mainly a less confusing code. We also skip some over-reclaim in cases where the allocation should already succed.

mm, compaction: require only min watermarks for non-costly orders
The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. Then __isolate_free_page uses low watermark check to decide if particular free page can be isolated. In the latter case, using low watermark is needlessly pessimistic, as the free page isolations are only temporary. For __compaction_suitable() the higher watermark makes sense for high-order allocations where more freepages increase the chance of success, and we can typically fail with some order-0 fallback when the system is struggling to reach that watermark. But for low-order allocation, forming the page should not be that hard. So using low watermark here might just prevent compaction from even trying, and eventually lead to OOM killer even if we are above min watermarks. So after this patch, we use min watermark for non-costly orders in __compaction_suitable(), and for all orders in __isolate_free_page().

mm, compaction: use proper alloc_flags in __compaction_suitable()
The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. This check uses direct compactor's alloc_flags, but that's wrong, since these flags are not applicable for freepage isolation. For example, alloc_flags may indicate access to memory reserves, making compaction proceed, and then fail watermark check during the isolation. A similar problem exists for ALLOC_CMA, which may be part of alloc_flags, but not during freepage isolation. In this case however it makes sense to use ALLOC_CMA both in __compaction_suitable() and __isolate_free_page(), since there's actually nothing preventing the freepage scanner to isolate from CMA pageblocks, with the assumption that a page that could be migrated once by compaction can be migrated also later by CMA allocation. Thus we should count pages in CMA pageblocks when considering compaction suitability and when isolating freepages. To sum up, this patch should remove some false positives from __compaction_suitable(), and allow compaction to proceed when free pages required for compaction reside in the CMA pageblocks.

mm, compaction: create compact_gap wrapper
Compaction uses a watermark gap of (2UL << order) pages at various places and it's not immediately obvious why. Abstract it through a compact_gap() wrapper to create a single place with a thorough explanation.

mm, compaction: use correct watermark when checking compaction success
The __compact_finished() function uses low watermark in a check that has to pass if the direct compaction is to finish and allocation should succeed. This is too pessimistic, as the allocation will typically use min watermark. It may happen that during compaction, we drop below the low watermark (due to parallel activity), but still form the target high-order page. By checking against low watermark, we might needlessly continue compaction. Similarly, __compaction_suitable() uses low watermark in a check whether allocation can succeed without compaction. Again, this is unnecessarily pessimistic. After this patch, these check will use direct compactor's alloc_flags to determine the watermark, which is effectively the min watermark.

mm, compaction: add the ultimate direct compaction priority
During reclaim/compaction loop, it's desirable to get a final answer from unsuccessful compaction so we can either fail the allocation or invoke the OOM killer. However, heuristics such as deferred compaction or pageblock skip bits can cause compaction to skip parts or whole zones and lead to premature OOM's, failures or excessive reclaim/compaction retries. To remedy this, we introduce a new direct compaction priority called COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL, which instructs direct compaction to: - ignore deferred compaction status for a zone - ignore pageblock skip hints - ignore cached scanner positions and scan the whole zone The new priority should get eventually picked up by should_compact_retry() and this should improve success rates for costly allocations using __GFP_REPEAT, such as hugetlbfs allocations, and reduce some corner-case OOM's for non-costly allocations.

mm, compaction: don't recheck watermarks after COMPACT_SUCCESS
Joonsoo has reminded me that in a later patch changing watermark checks throughout compaction I forgot to update checks in try_to_compact_pages() and compactd_do_work(). Closer inspection however shows that they are redundant now in the success case, because compact_zone() now reliably reports this with COMPACT_SUCCESS. So effectively the checks just repeat (a subset) of checks that have just passed. So instead of checking watermarks again, just test the return value. Note it's also possible that compaction would declare failure e.g. because its find_suitable_fallback() is more strict than simple watermark check, and then the watermark check we are removing would then still succeed. After this patch this is not possible and it's arguably better, because for long-term fragmentation avoidance we should rather try a different zone than allocate with the unsuitable fallback. If compaction of all zones fail and the allocation is important enough, it will retry and succeed anyway. Also remove the stray "bool success" variable from kcompactd_do_work().

mm, compaction: rename COMPACT_PARTIAL to COMPACT_SUCCESS
COMPACT_PARTIAL has historically meant that compaction returned after doing some work without fully compacting a zone. It however didn't distinguish if compaction terminated because it succeeded in creating the requested high-order page. This has changed recently and now we only return COMPACT_PARTIAL when compaction thinks it succeeded, or the high-order watermark check in compaction_suitable() passes and no compaction needs to be done. So at this point we can make the return value clearer by renaming it to COMPACT_SUCCESS. The next patch will remove some redundant tests for success where compaction just returned COMPACT_SUCCESS.
