7f5e86c2cc mm: add link from struct lruvec to struct zone 
This is the first stage of struct mem_cgroup_zone removal.  Further
patches replace struct mem_cgroup_zone with a pointer to struct lruvec.

If CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=n lruvec_zone() is just container_of().

f3fd4a6192 mm: remove lru type checks from __isolate_lru_page() 
After patch "mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()" we can
completely remove anon/file and active/inactive lru type filters from
__isolate_lru_page(), because isolation for 0-order reclaim always
isolates pages from right lru list.  And pages-isolation for lumpy
shrink_inactive_list() or memory-compaction anyway allowed to isolate
pages from all evictable lru lists.

89abfab133 mm/memcg: move reclaim_stat into lruvec 
With mem_cgroup_disabled() now explicit, it becomes clear that the
zone_reclaim_stat structure actually belongs in lruvec, per-zone when
memcg is disabled but per-memcg per-zone when it's enabled.

We can delete mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat(), and change
update_page_reclaim_stat() to update just the one set of stats, the one
which get_scan_count() will actually use.

d484864dd9 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping 
Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
 "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
  (mainly for ARM architecture).  First one is Contiguous Memory
  Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
  big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.

  The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
  allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
  chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
  big chunk is allocated.  Once the alloc request is issued, the
  framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
  chunk of physically contiguous memory.

  For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:

   - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/

   - 'CMA and ARM':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/

   - 'A deep dive into CMA':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/

   - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
     versions:
		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204

  The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.

  The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
  subsystem.  The core implementation has been changed to use common
  struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
  new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2.  This allows to use more than
  one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
  struct device basis.  The first client of this new infractructure is
  dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
  core, common code.

  The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
  implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
  This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
  calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.

  For more information please refer to the following thread:
		http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html

  The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
  resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
  been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

49f223a9cd mm: trigger page reclaim in alloc_contig_range() to stabilise watermarks 
alloc_contig_range() performs memory allocation so it also should keep
track on keeping the correct level of memory watermarks. This commit adds
a call to *_slowpath style reclaim to grab enough pages to make sure that
the final collection of contiguous pages from freelists will not starve
the system.

47118af076 mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added 
The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics:
(i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration
type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks.

This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page
block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no
memory left in the system).

It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB)
of physically contiguous memory.  Once driver requests
contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be
migrated away to create a contiguous block.

To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type
is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other
migration types when requested.

aff622495c vmscan: only defer compaction for failed order and higher 
Currently a failed order-9 (transparent hugepage) compaction can lead to
memory compaction being temporarily disabled for a memory zone.  Even if
we only need compaction for an order 2 allocation, eg.  for jumbo frames
networking.

The fix is relatively straightforward: keep track of the highest order at
which compaction is succeeding, and only defer compaction for orders at
which compaction is failing.

c824493528 mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware again 
Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware")
noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that
is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list.  This
had to be partially reverted because some dirty pages can be migrated by
compaction without blocking.

This patch updates "mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page" by skipping
over pages that migration has no possibility of migrating to minimise LRU
disruption.

6290df5458 mm: collect LRU list heads into struct lruvec 
Having a unified structure with a LRU list set for both global zones and
per-memcg zones allows to keep that code simple which deals with LRU
lists and does not care about the container itself.

Once the per-memcg LRU lists directly link struct pages, the isolation
function and all other list manipulations are shared between the memcg
case and the global LRU case.

ab8fabd46f mm: exclude reserved pages from dirtyable memory 
Per-zone dirty limits try to distribute page cache pages allocated for
writing across zones in proportion to the individual zone sizes, to reduce
the likelihood of reclaim having to write back individual pages from the
LRU lists in order to make progress.

This patch:

The amount of dirtyable pages should not include the full number of free
pages: there is a number of reserved pages that the page allocator and
kswapd always try to keep free.

The closer (reclaimable pages - dirty pages) is to the number of reserved
pages, the more likely it becomes for reclaim to run into dirty pages:

       +----------+ ---
       |   anon   |  |
       +----------+  |
       |          |  |
       |          |  -- dirty limit new    -- flusher new
       |   file   |  |                     |
       |          |  |                     |
       |          |  -- dirty limit old    -- flusher old
       |          |                        |
       +----------+                       --- reclaim
       | reserved |
       +----------+
       |  kernel  |
       +----------+

This patch introduces a per-zone dirty reserve that takes both the lowmem
reserve as well as the high watermark of the zone into account, and a
global sum of those per-zone values that is subtracted from the global
amount of dirtyable pages.  The lowmem reserve is unavailable to page
cache allocations and kswapd tries to keep the high watermark free.  We
don't want to end up in a situation where reclaim has to clean pages in
order to balance zones.

Not treating reserved pages as dirtyable on a global level is only a
conceptual fix.  In reality, dirty pages are not distributed equally
across zones and reclaim runs into dirty pages on a regular basis.

But it is important to get this right before tackling the problem on a
per-zone level, where the distance between reclaim and the dirty pages is
mostly much smaller in absolute numbers.

0ee332c145 memblock: Kill early_node_map[] 
Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP -
there's no user of early_node_map[] left.  Kill early_node_map[] and
replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.  Also,
relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h
as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation.

This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any
observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are
some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c
and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK
doesn't make much sense on some of them.  Further cleanups for
functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice.

49ea7eb65e mm: vmscan: immediately reclaim end-of-LRU dirty pages when writeback completes 
When direct reclaim encounters a dirty page, it gets recycled around the
LRU for another cycle.  This patch marks the page PageReclaim similar to
deactivate_page() so that the page gets reclaimed almost immediately after
the page gets cleaned.  This is to avoid reclaiming clean pages that are
younger than a dirty page encountered at the end of the LRU that might
have been something like a use-once page.

ee72886d8e mm: vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim 
Testing from the XFS folk revealed that there is still too much I/O from
the end of the LRU in kswapd.  Previously it was considered acceptable by
VM people for a small number of pages to be written back from reclaim with
testing generally showing about 0.3% of pages reclaimed were written back
(higher if memory was low).  That writing back a small number of pages is
ok has been heavily disputed for quite some time and Dave Chinner
explained it well;

	It doesn't have to be a very high number to be a problem. IO
	is orders of magnitude slower than the CPU time it takes to
	flush a page, so the cost of making a bad flush decision is
	very high. And single page writeback from the LRU is almost
	always a bad flush decision.

To complicate matters, filesystems respond very differently to requests
from reclaim according to Christoph Hellwig;

	xfs tries to write it back if the requester is kswapd
	ext4 ignores the request if it's a delayed allocation
	btrfs ignores the request

As a result, each filesystem has different performance characteristics
when under memory pressure and there are many pages being dirtied.  In
some cases, the request is ignored entirely so the VM cannot depend on the
IO being dispatched.

The objective of this series is to reduce writing of filesystem-backed
pages from reclaim, play nicely with writeback that is already in progress
and throttle reclaim appropriately when writeback pages are encountered.
The assumption is that the flushers will always write pages faster than if
reclaim issues the IO.

A secondary goal is to avoid the problem whereby direct reclaim splices
two potentially deep call stacks together.

There is a potential new problem as reclaim has less control over how long
before a page in a particularly zone or container is cleaned and direct
reclaimers depend on kswapd or flusher threads to do the necessary work.
However, as filesystems sometimes ignore direct reclaim requests already,
it is not expected to be a serious issue.

Patch 1 disables writeback of filesystem pages from direct reclaim
	entirely. Anonymous pages are still written.

Patch 2 removes dead code in lumpy reclaim as it is no longer able
	to synchronously write pages. This hurts lumpy reclaim but
	there is an expectation that compaction is used for hugepage
	allocations these days and lumpy reclaim's days are numbered.

Patches 3-4 add warnings to XFS and ext4 if called from
	direct reclaim. With patch 1, this "never happens" and is
	intended to catch regressions in this logic in the future.

Patch 5 disables writeback of filesystem pages from kswapd unless
	the priority is raised to the point where kswapd is considered
	to be in trouble.

Patch 6 throttles reclaimers if too many dirty pages are being
	encountered and the zones or backing devices are congested.

Patch 7 invalidates dirty pages found at the end of the LRU so they
	are reclaimed quickly after being written back rather than
	waiting for a reclaimer to find them

I consider this series to be orthogonal to the writeback work but it is
worth noting that the writeback work affects the viability of patch 8 in
particular.

I tested this on ext4 and xfs using fs_mark, a simple writeback test based
on dd and a micro benchmark that does a streaming write to a large mapping
(exercises use-once LRU logic) followed by streaming writes to a mix of
anonymous and file-backed mappings.  The command line for fs_mark when
botted with 512M looked something like

./fs_mark -d  /tmp/fsmark-2676  -D  100  -N  150  -n  150  -L  25  -t  1  -S0  -s  10485760

The number of files was adjusted depending on the amount of available
memory so that the files created was about 3xRAM.  For multiple threads,
the -d switch is specified multiple times.

The test machine is x86-64 with an older generation of AMD processor with
4 cores.  The underlying storage was 4 disks configured as RAID-0 as this
was the best configuration of storage I had available.  Swap is on a
separate disk.  Dirty ratio was tuned to 40% instead of the default of
20%.

Testing was run with and without monitors to both verify that the patches
were operating as expected and that any performance gain was real and not
due to interference from monitors.

Here is a summary of results based on testing XFS.

Up until 512-4X, the FSmark improvements were statistically significant.
For the 4X and 16X tests the results were within standard deviations but
just barely.  The time to completion for all tests is improved which is an
important result.  In general, kswapd efficiency is not affected by
skipping dirty pages.

All FSMark tests up to 16X had statistically significant improvements.
For the most part, tests are completing faster with the exception of the
streaming writes to a mixture of anonymous and file-backed mappings which
were slower in two cases

In the cases where the mmap-strm tests were slower, there was more
swapping due to dirty pages being skipped.  The number of additional pages
swapped is almost identical to the fewer number of pages written from
reclaim.  In other words, roughly the same number of pages were reclaimed
but swapping was slower.  As the test is a bit unrealistic and stresses
memory heavily, the small shift is acceptable.

Unlike the other tests, the fsmark results are not statistically
significant but the min and max times are both improved and for the most
part, tests completed faster.

There are other indications that this is an improvement as well.  For
example, in the vast majority of cases, there were fewer pages scanned by
direct reclaim implying in many cases that stalls due to direct reclaim
are reduced.  KSwapd is scanning more due to skipping dirty pages which is
unfortunate but the CPU usage is still acceptable

In an earlier set of tests, I used blktrace and in almost all cases
throughput throughout the entire test was higher.  However, I ended up
discarding those results as recording blktrace data was too heavy for my
liking.

On a laptop, I plugged in a USB stick and ran a similar tests of tests
using it as backing storage.  A desktop environment was running and for
the entire duration of the tests, firefox and gnome terminal were
launching and exiting to vaguely simulate a user.

1024M-xfs            Kswapd efficiency simple-wb           92%       81%
1024M-xfs            Kswapd efficiency mmap-strm           60%       51%
1024M-xfs            Avg wait ms fsmark                5404.53     4473.87
1024M-xfs            Avg wait ms simple-wb             2541.35     1453.54
1024M-xfs            Avg wait ms mmap-strm             3400.25     3852.53

The mmap-strm results were hurt because firefox launching had a tendency
to push the test out of memory.  On the postive side, firefox launched
marginally faster with the patches applied.  Time to completion for many
tests was faster but more importantly - the "Avg wait" time as measured by
iostat was far lower implying the system would be more responsive.  It was
also the case that "Avg wait ms" on the root filesystem was lower.  I
tested it manually and while the system felt slightly more responsive
while copying data to a USB stick, it was marginal enough that it could be
my imagination.

This patch: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim.

When kswapd is failing to keep zones above the min watermark, a process
will enter direct reclaim in the same manner kswapd does.  If a dirty page
is encountered during the scan, this page is written to backing storage
using mapping->writepage.

This causes two problems.  First, it can result in very deep call stacks,
particularly if the target storage or filesystem are complex.  Some
filesystems ignore write requests from direct reclaim as a result.  The
second is that a single-page flush is inefficient in terms of IO.  While
there is an expectation that the elevator will merge requests, this does
not always happen.  Quoting Christoph Hellwig;

	The elevator has a relatively small window it can operate on,
	and can never fix up a bad large scale writeback pattern.

This patch prevents direct reclaim writing back filesystem pages by
checking if current is kswapd.  Anonymous pages are still written to swap
as there is not the equivalent of a flusher thread for anonymous pages.
If the dirty pages cannot be written back, they are placed back on the LRU
lists.  There is now a direct dependency on dirty page balancing to
prevent too many pages in the system being dirtied which would prevent
reclaim making forward progress.

f80c067361 mm: zone_reclaim: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware 
In __zone_reclaim case, we don't want to shrink mapped page.  Nonetheless,
we have isolated mapped page and re-add it into LRU's head.  It's
unnecessary CPU overhead and makes LRU churning.

Of course, when we isolate the page, the page might be mapped but when we
try to migrate the page, the page would be not mapped.  So it could be
migrated.  But race is rare and although it happens, it's no big deal.

39deaf8585 mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware 
In async mode, compaction doesn't migrate dirty or writeback pages.  So,
it's meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to lru list.

Of course, when we isolate the page in compaction, the page might be dirty
or writeback but when we try to migrate the page, the page would be not
dirty, writeback.  So it could be migrated.  But it's very unlikely as
isolate and migration cycle is much faster than writeout.

So, this patch helps cpu overhead and prevent unnecessary LRU churning.

4356f21d09 mm: change isolate mode from #define to bitwise type 
Change ISOLATE_XXX macro with bitwise isolate_mode_t type.  Normally,
macro isn't recommended as it's type-unsafe and making debugging harder as
symbol cannot be passed throught to the debugger.

Quote from Johannes
" Hmm, it would probably be cleaner to fully convert the isolation mode
into independent flags.  INACTIVE, ACTIVE, BOTH is currently a
tri-state among flags, which is a bit ugly."

This patch moves isolate mode from swap.h to mmzone.h by memcontrol.h

bb2a0de92c memcg: consolidate memory cgroup lru stat functions 
In mm/memcontrol.c, there are many lru stat functions as..

  mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_file_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_file_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_anon_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_anon_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_unevictable_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_unevictable_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages
  mem_cgroup_get_local_zonestat

Some of them are under #ifdef MAX_NUMNODES >1 and others are not.
This seems bad. This patch consolidates all functions into

  mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages()
  mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages()
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages()

For these functions, "which LRU?" information is passed by a mask.

example:
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, BIT(LRU_ACTIVE_ANON))

And I added some macro as ALL_LRU, ALL_LRU_FILE, ALL_LRU_ANON.

example:
  mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, ALL_LRU)

BTW, considering layout of NUMA memory placement of counters, this patch seems
to be better.

Now, when we gather all LRU information, we scan in following orer
    for_each_lru -> for_each_node -> for_each_zone.

This means we'll touch cache lines in different node in turn.

After patch, we'll scan
    for_each_node -> for_each_zone -> for_each_lru(mask)

c6830c2260 Fix node_start/end_pfn() definition for mm/page_cgroup.c 
commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end
of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in
/arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y.

Then, we see
  mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init':
  mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn'
  mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn'

So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea...

But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and
should be implemented in the same manner for all archs.
(m32r has different implementation...)

This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs
and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now.

A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c)

for !NUMA
 start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn);
  end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});

for NUMA (x86-64)
  start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn);
  end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});

Changelog:
 - fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

246e87a939 memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets 
During memory reclaim we determine the number of pages to be scanned per
zone as

	(anon + file) >> priority.
Assume
	scan = (anon + file) >> priority.

If scan < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, the scan will be skipped for this time and
priority gets higher.  This has some problems.

  1. This increases priority as 1 without any scan.
     To do scan in this priority, amount of pages should be larger than 512M.
     If pages>>priority < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it's recorded and scan will be
     batched, later. (But we lose 1 priority.)
     If memory size is below 16M, pages >> priority is 0 and no scan in
     DEF_PRIORITY forever.

  2. If zone->all_unreclaimabe==true, it's scanned only when priority==0.
     So, x86's ZONE_DMA will never be recoverred until the user of pages
     frees memory by itself.

  3. With memcg, the limit of memory can be small. When using small memcg,
     it gets priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2 very easily and need to call
     wait_iff_congested().
     For doing scan before priorty=9, 64MB of memory should be used.

Then, this patch tries to scan SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX of pages in force...when

  1. the target is enough small.
  2. it's kswapd or memcg reclaim.

Then we can avoid rapid priority drop and may be able to recover
all_unreclaimable in a small zones.  And this patch removes nr_saved_scan.
 This will allow scanning in this priority even when pages >> priority is
very small.

7b7bf499f7 ARM: 6913/1: sparsemem: allow pfn_valid to be overridden when using SPARSEMEM 
In commit eb33575c ("[ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a
memmap has unexpected holes V2"), a new function, memmap_valid_within,
was introduced to mmzone.h so that holes in the memmap which pass
pfn_valid in SPARSEMEM configurations can be detected and avoided.

The fix to this problem checks that the pfn <-> page linkages are
correct by calculating the page for the pfn and then checking that
page_to_pfn on that page returns the original pfn. Unfortunately, in
SPARSEMEM configurations, this results in reading from the page flags to
determine the correct section. Since the memmap here has been freed,
junk is read from memory and the check is no longer robust.

In the best case, reading from /proc/pagetypeinfo will give you the
wrong answer. In the worst case, you get SEGVs, Kernel OOPses and hung
CPUs. Furthermore, ioremap implementations that use pfn_valid to
disallow the remapping of normal memory will break.

This patch allows architectures to provide their own pfn_valid function
instead of using the default implementation used by sparsemem. The
architecture-specific version is aware of the memmap state and will
return false when passed a pfn for a freed page within a valid section.
