To support direct io in ocfs2_write_begin_nolock & ocfs2_write_end_nolock.
There is a problem in ocfs2's direct io implement: if system crashed
after extents allocated, and before data return, we will get a extent
with dirty data on disk. This problem violate the journal=order
semantics, which means meta changes take effect after data written to
disk. To resolve this issue, direct write can use the UNWRITTEN flag to
describe a extent during direct data writeback. The direct write
procedure should act in the following order:
phase 1: alloc extent with UNWRITTEN flag
phase 2: submit direct data to disk, add zero page to page cache
phase 3: clear UNWRITTEN flag when data has been written to disk
This patch is to change the 'c_unwritten' member of
ocfs2_write_cluster_desc to 'c_clear_unwritten'. Means whether to clear
the unwritten flag. It do not care if a extent is allocated or not.
And use 'c_new' to specify a newly allocated extent. So the direct io
procedure can use c_clear_unwritten to control the UNWRITTEN bit on
extent.

Patchset: fix ocfs2 direct io code patch to support sparse file and data
ordering semantics
The idea is to use buffer io(more precisely use the interface
ocfs2_write_begin_nolock & ocfs2_write_end_nolock) to do the zero work
beyond block size. And clear UNWRITTEN flag until direct io data has
been written to disk, which can prevent data corruption when system
crashed during direct write.
And we will also archive a better performance: eg. dd direct write new
file with block size 4KB: before this patchset:
2.5 MB/s
after this patchset:
66.4 MB/s
This patch (of 8):
To support direct io in ocfs2_write_begin_nolock &
ocfs2_write_end_nolock.
Remove unused args filp & flags. Add new arg type. The type is one of
buffer/direct/mmap. Indicate 3 way to perform write. buffer/mmap type
has implemented. direct type will be implemented later.

After "oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the
address space" oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim on the target task
after it is done. This might however race with the PM freezer:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
freeze_processes
try_to_freeze_tasks
# Allocation request
out_of_memory
oom_killer_disable
wake_oom_reaper(P1)
__oom_reap_task
exit_oom_victim(P1)
wait_event(oom_victims==0)
[...]
do_exit(P1)
perform IO/interfere with the freezer
which breaks the oom_killer_disable semantic. We no longer have a
guarantee that the oom victim won't interfere with the freezer because
it might be anywhere on the way to do_exit while the freezer thinks the
task has already terminated. It might trigger IO or touch devices which
are frozen already.
In order to close this race, make the oom_reaper thread freezable. This
will work because
a) already running oom_reaper will block freezer to enter the
quiescent state
b) wake_oom_reaper will not wake up the reaper after it has been
frozen
c) the only way to call exit_oom_victim after try_to_freeze_tasks
is from the oom victim's context when we know the further
interference shouldn't be possible

Tetsuo has reported that oom_kill_allocating_task=1 will cause
oom_reaper_list corruption because oom_kill_process doesn't follow
standard OOM exclusion (aka ignores TIF_MEMDIE) and allows to enqueue
the same task multiple times - e.g. by sacrificing the same child
multiple times.
This patch fixes the issue by introducing a new MMF_OOM_KILLED mm flag
which is set in oom_kill_process atomically and oom reaper is disabled
if the flag was already set.

wake_oom_reaper has allowed only 1 oom victim to be queued. The main
reason for that was the simplicity as other solutions would require some
way of queuing. The current approach is racy and that was deemed
sufficient as the oom_reaper is considered a best effort approach to
help with oom handling when the OOM victim cannot terminate in a
reasonable time. The race could lead to missing an oom victim which can
get stuck
out_of_memory
wake_oom_reaper
cmpxchg // OK
oom_reaper
oom_reap_task
__oom_reap_task
oom_victim terminates
atomic_inc_not_zero // fail
out_of_memory
wake_oom_reaper
cmpxchg // fails
task_to_reap = NULL
This race requires 2 OOM invocations in a short time period which is not
very likely but certainly not impossible. E.g. the original victim
might have not released a lot of memory for some reason.
The situation would improve considerably if wake_oom_reaper used a more
robust queuing. This is what this patch implements. This means adding
oom_reaper_list list_head into task_struct (eat a hole before embeded
thread_struct for that purpose) and a oom_reaper_lock spinlock for
queuing synchronization. wake_oom_reaper will then add the task on the
queue and oom_reaper will dequeue it.

When oom_reaper manages to unmap all the eligible vmas there shouldn't
be much of the freable memory held by the oom victim left anymore so it
makes sense to clear the TIF_MEMDIE flag for the victim and allow the
OOM killer to select another task.
The lack of TIF_MEMDIE also means that the victim cannot access memory
reserves anymore but that shouldn't be a problem because it would get
the access again if it needs to allocate and hits the OOM killer again
due to the fatal_signal_pending resp. PF_EXITING check. We can safely
hide the task from the OOM killer because it is clearly not a good
candidate anymore as everyhing reclaimable has been torn down already.
This patch will allow to cap the time an OOM victim can keep TIF_MEMDIE
and thus hold off further global OOM killer actions granted the oom
reaper is able to take mmap_sem for the associated mm struct. This is
not guaranteed now but further steps should make sure that mmap_sem for
write should be blocked killable which will help to reduce such a lock
contention. This is not done by this patch.
Note that exit_oom_victim might be called on a remote task from
__oom_reap_task now so we have to check and clear the flag atomically
otherwise we might race and underflow oom_victims or wake up waiters too
early.

This patch (of 5):
This is based on the idea from Mel Gorman discussed during LSFMM 2015
and independently brought up by Oleg Nesterov.
The OOM killer currently allows to kill only a single task in a good
hope that the task will terminate in a reasonable time and frees up its
memory. Such a task (oom victim) will get an access to memory reserves
via mark_oom_victim to allow a forward progress should there be a need
for additional memory during exit path.
It has been shown (e.g. by Tetsuo Handa) that it is not that hard to
construct workloads which break the core assumption mentioned above and
the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it
might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event (e.g.
lock) which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator.
This patch reduces the probability of such a lockup by introducing a
specialized kernel thread (oom_reaper) which tries to reclaim additional
memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned
by the oom victim under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed
when its owner is killed and kicked from the userspace anyway. There is
one notable exception to this, though, if the OOM victim was in the
process of coredumping the result would be incomplete. This is
considered a reasonable constrain because the overall system health is
more important than debugability of a particular application.
A kernel thread has been chosen because we need a reliable way of
invocation so workqueue context is not appropriate because all the
workers might be busy (e.g. allocating memory). Kswapd which sounds
like another good fit is not appropriate as well because it might get
blocked on locks during reclaim as well.
oom_reaper has to take mmap_sem on the target task for reading so the
solution is not 100% because the semaphore might be held or blocked for
write but the probability is reduced considerably wrt. basically any
lock blocking forward progress as described above. In order to prevent
from blocking on the lock without any forward progress we are using only
a trylock and retry 10 times with a short sleep in between. Users of
mmap_sem which need it for write should be carefully reviewed to use
_killable waiting as much as possible and reduce allocations requests
done with the lock held to absolute minimum to reduce the risk even
further.
The API between oom killer and oom reaper is quite trivial.
wake_oom_reaper updates mm_to_reap with cmpxchg to guarantee only
NULL->mm transition and oom_reaper clear this atomically once it is done
with the work. This means that only a single mm_struct can be reaped at
the time. As the operation is potentially disruptive we are trying to
limit it to the ncessary minimum and the reaper blocks any updates while
it operates on an mm. mm_struct is pinned by mm_count to allow parallel
exit_mmap and a race is detected by atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users).

Skylake-H related to the handling of deep C-states by the platform and
a PCI/ACPI fix for the handling of IO port resources on non-x86

- intel_idle driver update preventing some Skylake-H systems from
hanging during initialization by disabling deep C-states mishandled
by the platform in the problematic configurations (Len Brown).
- Intel Xeon Phi Processor x200 support for intel_idle
(Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).
- cpuidle menu governor updates to make it always honor PM QoS
latency constraints (and prevent C1 from being used as the fallback
C-state on x86 when they are set below its exit latency) and to
restore the previous behavior to fall back to C1 if the next timer
event is set far enough in the future that was changed in 4.4 which
led to an energy consumption regression (Rik van Riel, Rafael
Wysocki).
- New device ID for a future AMD UART controller in the ACPI driver
for AMD SoCs (Wang Hongcheng).
- Rockchip rk3399 support for the rockchip-io-domain adaptive voltage
scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu).
- ACPI PCI resources management fix for the handling of IO space
resources on architectures where the IO space is memory mapped
(IA64 and ARM64) broken by the introduction of common ACPI
resources parsing for PCI host bridges in 4.4 (Lorenzo Pieralisi).
- Fix for the ACPI backend of the generic device properties API to
make it parse non-device (data node only) children of an ACPI
device correctly (Irina Tirdea).
- Fixes for the handling of global suspend flags (introduced in 4.4)
during hibernation and resume from it (Lukas Wunner).
- Support for obtaining configuration information from Device Trees
in the PM clocks framework (Jon Hunter).
- ACPI _DSM helper code and devfreq framework cleanups (Colin Ian
