>From my POV, it looks like the hardware is not working as expected
and returns a bogus data rate. The driver doesn't check the result
and directly uses it as some sort of divisor in some places:
msleep(lis3->pwron_delay / lis3lv02d_get_odr());
Under this circumstances, this could very well cause the
"divide by zero" exception from above.
For now, I fixed it the easiest and most obvious way:
Check if the result is sane and if it isn't use a sane default
instead. I went for "100" in the latter case, simply because
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/rate returns it on a successful
boot.

Currently a statfs on a pipe's /proc/<pid>/fd/ link returns -ENOSYS. Wire
pipfs up so that the statfs succeeds.
This is required by checkpoint-restart in the userspace to make it
possible to distinguish pipes from fifos.
When we dump information about task's open files we use the /proc/pid/fd
directoy's symlinks and the fact that opening any of them gives us exactly
the same dentry->inode pair as the original process has. Now if a task
we're dumping has opened pipe and fifo we need to detect this and act
accordingly. Knowing that an fd with type S_ISFIFO resides on a pipefs is
the most precise way.

Avoid false sharing of the vm_stat array.
This was found to adversely affect tmpfs I/O performance.
Tests run on a 640 cpu UV system.
With 120 threads doing parallel writes, each to different tmpfs mounts:
No patch: ~300 MB/sec
With vm_stat alignment: ~430 MB/sec

A process spent 30 minutes exiting, just munlocking the pages of a large
anonymous area that had been alternately mprotected into page-sized vmas:
for every single page there's an anon_vma walk through all the other
little vmas to find the right one.
A general fix to that would be a lot more complicated (use prio_tree on
anon_vma?), but there's one very simple thing we can do to speed up the
common case: if a page to be munlocked is mapped only once, then it is our
vma that it is mapped into, and there's no need whatever to walk through
all the others.
Okay, there is a very remote race in munlock_vma_pages_range(), if between
its follow_page() and lock_page(), another process were to munlock the
same page, then page reclaim remove it from our vma, then another process
mlock it again. We would find it with page_mapcount 1, yet it's still
mlocked in another process. But never mind, that's much less likely than
the down_read_trylock() failure which munlocking already tolerates (in
try_to_unmap_one()): in due course page reclaim will discover and move the
page to unevictable instead.

There are three cases of update_mmu_cache() in the file, and the case in
function collapse_huge_page() has a typo, namely the last parameter used,
which is corrected based on the other two cases.
Due to the define of update_mmu_cache by X86, the only arch that
implements THP currently, the change here has no really crystal point, but
one or two minutes of efforts could be saved for those archs that are
likely to support THP in future.

The THP copy-on-write handler falls back to regular-sized pages for a huge
page replacement upon allocation failure or if THP has been individually
disabled in the target VMA. The loop responsible for copying page-sized
chunks accidentally uses multiples of PAGE_SHIFT instead of PAGE_SIZE as
the virtual address arg for copy_user_highpage().

If compaction can proceed, shrink_zones() stops doing any work but its
callers still call shrink_slab() which raises the priority and potentially
sleeps. This is unnecessary and wasteful so this patch aborts direct
reclaim/compaction entirely if compaction can proceed.

When suffering from memory fragmentation due to unfreeable pages, THP page
faults will repeatedly try to compact memory. Due to the unfreeable
pages, compaction fails.
Needless to say, at that point page reclaim also fails to create free
contiguous 2MB areas. However, that doesn't stop the current code from
trying, over and over again, and freeing a minimum of 4MB (2UL <<
sc->order pages) at every single invocation.
This resulted in my 12GB system having 2-3GB free memory, a corresponding
amount of used swap and very sluggish response times.
This can be avoided by having the direct reclaim code not reclaim from
zones that already have plenty of free memory available for compaction.
If compaction still fails due to unmovable memory, doing additional
reclaim will only hurt the system, not help.

When a race between putback_lru_page() and shmem_lock with lock=0 happens,
progrom execution order is as follows, but clear_bit in processor #1 could
be reordered right before spin_unlock of processor #1. Then, the page
would be stranded on the unevictable list.
spin_lock
SetPageLRU
spin_unlock
clear_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
spin_lock
if PageLRU()
if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
move evictable list
smp_mb
if !test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE)
move evictable list
spin_unlock
But, pagevec_lookup() in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() has
rcu_read_[un]lock() so it could protect reordering before reaching
test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE) on processor #1 so this problem never happens.
But it's a unexpected side effect and we should solve this problem
properly.
This patch adds a barrier after mapping_clear_unevictable.
I didn't meet this problem but just found during review.
