There is little motiviation for reclaim_mode_t once RECLAIM_MODE_[A]SYNC and lumpy reclaim have been removed. This patch gets rid of reclaim_mode_t as well and improves the documentation about what reclaim/compaction is and when it is triggered. Signed-off-by:

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory compaction is already using it. Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being scanned. Signed-off-by:

This series removes lumpy reclaim and some stalling logic that was unintentionally being used by memory compaction. The end result is that stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on wait_iff_congested(). Four kernels were compared 3.3.0 vanilla 3.4.0-rc2 vanilla 3.4.0-rc2 lumpyremove-v2 is patch one from this series 3.4.0-rc2 nosync-v2r3 is the full series Removing lumpy reclaim saves almost 900 bytes of text whereas the full series removes 1200 bytes. text data bss dec hex filename 67403754 1927944 2260992 10929311 a6c49f vmlinux-3.4.0-rc2-vanilla 6739479 1927944 2260992 10928415 a6c11f vmlinux-3.4.0-rc2-lumpyremove-v2 6739159 1927944 2260992 10928095 a6bfdf vmlinux-3.4.0-rc2-nosync-v2 There are behaviour changes in the series and so tests were run with monitoring of ftrace events.

Other data such as memory usage, page IO, swap IO all looked similar. Running a benchmark with a plain DD showed nothing very interesting. The full series stalled in wait_iff_congested() slightly less but stall times on vanilla kernels were marginal. Running a benchmark that hammered on file-backed mappings showed stalls due to congestion but not in sync writebacks MICRO 3.3.0-vanilla rc2-vanilla lumpyremove-v2r3 nosync-v2r3 MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 308.13 294.50 298.75 299.53 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 330.45 316.28 318.93 320.79 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 1814.90 1833.88 1821.14 1832.91 MMTests Statistics: vmstat Page Ins 108712 120708 97224 110344 Page Outs 155514576 156017404 155813676 156193256 Swap Ins 0 0 0 0 Swap Outs 0 0 0 0 Direct pages scanned 2599253 1550480 2512822 2414760 Kswapd pages scanned 69742364 71150694 68839041 69692533 Kswapd pages reclaimed 34824488 34773341 34796602 34799396 Direct pages reclaimed 53693 94750 61792 75205 Kswapd efficiency 49% 48% 50% 49% Kswapd velocity 38427.662 38797.901 37799.972 38022.889 Direct efficiency 2% 6% 2% 3% Direct velocity 1432.174 845.464 1379.807 1317.446 Percentage direct scans 3% 2% 3% 3% Page writes by reclaim 0 0 0 0 Page writes file 0 0 0 0 Page writes anon 0 0 0 0 Page reclaim immediate 0 0 0 1218 Page rescued immediate 0 0 0 0 Slabs scanned 15360 16384 13312 16384 Direct inode steals 0 0 0 0 Kswapd inode steals 4340 4327 1630 4323 FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait Direct number congest waited 0 0 0 0 Direct time congest waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms Direct full congest waited 0 0 0 0 Direct number conditional waited 900 870 754 789 Direct time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 20ms Direct full conditional waited 0 0 0 0 KSwapd number congest waited 2106 2308 2116 1915 KSwapd time congest waited 139924ms 157832ms 125652ms 132516ms KSwapd full congest waited 1346 1530 1202 1278 KSwapd number conditional waited 12922 16320 10943 14670 KSwapd time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms KSwapd full conditional waited 0 0 0 0 Reclaim statistics are not radically changed. The stall times in kswapd are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait() and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat(). Otherwise stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant. I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation. This is very artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and compaction. Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency figures.

I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair allocation success rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did not anticipate this much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less reclaim by kswapd In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily which is the intended behaviour. hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would be much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations are. The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs but is much closer to THP. Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with __GFP_REPEAT. Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from network devices. In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait Direct number congest waited 3 0 0 0 Direct time congest waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms Direct full congest waited 0 0 0 0 Direct number conditional waited 957 512 1081 1075 Direct time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms Direct full conditional waited 0 0 0 0 KSwapd number congest waited 36 4 3 5 KSwapd time congest waited 3148ms 400ms 300ms 500ms KSwapd full congest waited 30 4 3 5 KSwapd number conditional waited 88514 197 332 542 KSwapd time conditional waited 4980ms 0ms 0ms 0ms KSwapd full conditional waited 49 0 0 0 The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan. As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding fewer dirty pages. This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0. kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but it's a lot less. In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this FTrace Reclaim Statistics: mm_vmscan_writepage Direct writes anon sync 0 0 0 0 Direct writes anon async 0 0 0 0 Direct writes file sync 0 0 0 0 Direct writes file async 0 0 0 0 Direct writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0 Direct writes mixed async 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes anon sync 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes anon async 91682 0 0 0 KSwapd writes file sync 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes file async 822629 0 0 0 KSwapd writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes mixed async 0 0 0 0 In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync IO. This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely. It indicates that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe. This patch: Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the system so hard it trashed. For others the purpose was to complicate vmscan.c. Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends lumpy reclaim to the farm. The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch applied. Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested. Lumpy reclaim used this logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error. Signed-off-by: -

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in development, since we have only one swap token globally. It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and inactive anon LRU lists. Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests we no longer have much use for it. The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to implement something that does scale. Signed-off-by:

The transparent hugepages feature is careful to not invoke the oom killer when a hugepage cannot be allocated. pte_alloc_one() failing in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), however, currently results in VM_FAULT_OOM which invokes the pagefault oom killer to kill a memory-hogging task. This is unnecessary since it's possible to drop the reference to the hugepage and fallback to allocating a small page. Signed-off-by:

Commit f56f821f ("mm: extend prefault helpers to fault in more than PAGE_SIZE") added in the new functions: fault_in_multipages_writeable() and fault_in_multipages_readable(). However, we currently see: include/linux/pagemap.h:492: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function include/linux/pagemap.h:492: note: 'ret' was declared here Unlike a lot of gcc nags, this one appears somewhat legit. i.e. passing in an invalid negative value of "size" does make it look like all the conditionals in there would be bypassed and the uninitialized value would be returned.

This is caused by tty_release using tty_lock_pair to lock both sides of the pty/tty pair, and then tty_ldisc_release dropping and relocking one side only. We can drop both fine, so drop both to avoid any lock ordering concerns. Rework the release path to fix the new locking model. Signed-off-by:

The ptmx_open path takes the tty and devpts locks in the wrong order because tty_init_dev locks and returns a locked tty. As far as I can tell this is actually safe anyway because the tty being returned is new so nobody can get a reference to lock it at this point. However we don't even need the devpts lock at this point, it's only held as a byproduct of the way the locks were pushe down. Signed-off-by:

If a file OPEN is denied due to a share lock, the resulting NFS4ERR_SHARE_DENIED is currently mapped to the default EIO. This patch adds a more appropriate mapping, and brings Linux into line with what Solaris 10 does. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43286Signed-off-by:

We're already invalidating the data cache, and setting the new change attribute. Since directories don't care about the i_size field, there is no need to be forcing any extra revalidation of the page cache. We do keep the NFS_INO_INVALID_ATTR flag, in order to force an attribute cache revalidation on stat() calls since we do not update the mtime and ctime fields. Signed-off-by: -

This makes <asm/word-at-a-time.h> actually live up to its promise of allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their work a word at a time. David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic version, completing the circle. But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty much most random string functions. David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their private versions with the generic code. * generic-string-functions: sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function lib: add generic strnlen_user() function word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

Pull i2c-embedded changes from Wolfram Sang: "Major changes: - lots of devicetree additions for existing drivers. I tried hard to make sure the bindings are proper. In more complicated cases, I requested acks from people having more experience with them than me. That took a bit of extra time and also some time went into discussions with developers about what bindings are and what not. I have the feeling that the workflow with bindings should be improved to scale better. I will spend some more thought on this... - i2c-muxes are succesfully used meanwhile, so we dropped EXPERIMENTAL for them and renamed the drivers to a standard pattern to match the rest of the subsystem. They can also be used with devicetree now. - ixp2000 was removed since the whole platform goes away. - cleanups (strlcpy instead of strcpy, NULL instead of 0) - The rest is typical driver fixes I assume. All patches have been in linux-next at least since v3.4-rc6."
