As mentioned in the commit 56eecdb9 ("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit"), architectures like ppc64 don't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions. So when dealing with existing pte in clear_soft_dirty, the pte must be cleared before being modified. Signed-off-by:

get_mergeable_page() can only return NULL (also in case of errors) or the pinned mergeable page. It can't return an error different than NULL. This optimizes away the unnecessary error check. Add a return after the "out:" label in the callee to make it more readable. Signed-off-by:

Doing the VM_MERGEABLE check after the page == kpage check won't provide any meaningful benefit. The !vma->anon_vma check of find_mergeable_vma is the only superfluous bit in using find_mergeable_vma because the !PageAnon check of try_to_merge_one_page() implicitly checks for that, but it still looks cleaner to share the same find_mergeable_vma().

The stable_nodes can become stale at any time if the underlying pages gets freed. The stable_node gets collected and removed from the stable rbtree if that is detected during the rbtree lookups. Don't fail the lookup if running into stale stable_nodes, just restart the lookup after collecting the stale stable_nodes. Otherwise the CPU spent in the preparation stage is wasted and the lookup must be repeated at the next loop potentially failing a second time in a second stale stable_node. If we don't prune aggressively we delay the merging of the unstable node candidates and at the same time we delay the freeing of the stale stable_nodes. Keeping stale stable_nodes around wastes memory and it can't provide any benefit. Signed-off-by:

Before the previous patch ("memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages charging"), __mem_cgroup_from_kmem had to handle two types of kmem - slab pages and pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages - memcg in the page struct. Now we can unify it. Since after it, this function becomes tiny we can fold it into mem_cgroup_from_kmem.

We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for charging slab pages (i.e. they are only used for charging pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages). The only reason why the slab subsystem uses special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges to the memcg that the current task belongs to. To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to __memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL. If it is not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to, otherwise it charge to the current context. Next, it makes the slab subsystem use this function to charge slab pages. Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined. Since __memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages. Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading /proc/kpagecgroup. Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design. Since this design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any difference.

Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps. First, we try to charge the allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the page struct. Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless. So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the "commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page. Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

Make __install_special_mapping() args order match the caller, so the caller can pass their register args directly to callee with no touch. For most of architectures, args (at least the first 5th args) are in registers, so this change will have effect on most of architectures. For -O2, __install_special_mapping() may be inlined under most of architectures, but for -Os, it should not. So this change can get a little better performance for -Os, at least. Signed-off-by:

(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't care less and the change is ok. (2) ppc and mips, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch predictions as it seems to be pointless[1] and thus callers should not be trying to push an optimization in the first place. (3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an unlikely compiler flag already. Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().

This came up when implementing HIHGMEM/PAE40 for ARC. The kmap() / kmap_atomic() generated code seemed needlessly bloated due to the way PageHighMem() macro is implemented. It derives the exact zone for page and then does pointer subtraction with first zone to infer the zone_type. The pointer arithmatic in turn generates the code bloat.

Both "child->mm == mm" and "p->mm != mm" checks in oom_kill_process() are wrong. task->mm can be NULL if the task is the exited group leader. This means in particular that "kill sharing same memory" loop can miss a process with a zombie leader which uses the same ->mm. Note: the process_has_mm(child, p->mm) check is still not 100% correct, p->mm can be NULL too. This is minor, but probably deserves a fix or a comment anyway.

The fatal_signal_pending() was added to suppress unnecessary "sharing same memory" message, but it can't 100% help anyway because it can be false-negative; SIGKILL can be already dequeued. And worse, it can be false-positive due to exec or coredump. exec is mostly fine, but coredump is not. It is possible that the group leader has the pending SIGKILL because its sub-thread originated the coredump, in this case we must not skip this process. We could probably add the additional ->group_exit_task check but this patch just removes the wrong check along with pr_info(). Signed-off-by:

"mm->locked_vm += grow" and vm_stat_account() in acct_stack_growth() are not safe; multiple threads using the same ->mm can do this at the same time trying to expans different vma's under down_read(mmap_sem).

In zone_reclaimable_pages(), `nr' is returned by a function which is declared as returning "unsigned long", so declare it such. Negative values are meaningless here. In zone_pagecache_reclaimable() we should also declare `delta' and `nr_pagecache_reclaimable' as being unsigned longs because they're used to store the values returned by zone_page_state() and zone_unmapped_file_pages() which also happen to return unsigned integers.

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect printing the task's comm. A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to /proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME. The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock. Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when printing comm, so this is consistent. Signed-off-by:

Compaction returns prematurely with COMPACT_PARTIAL when contended or has fatal signal pending. This is ok for the callers, but might be misleading in the traces, as the usual reason to return COMPACT_PARTIAL is that we think the allocation should succeed. After this patch we distinguish the premature ending condition in the mm_compaction_finished and mm_compaction_end tracepoints. The contended status covers the following reasons: - lock contention or need_resched() detected in async compaction - fatal signal pending - too many pages isolated in the zone (only for async compaction) Further distinguishing the exact reason seems unnecessary for now.

Some compaction tracepoints use zone->name to print which zone is being compacted. This works for in-kernel printing, but not userspace trace printing of raw captured trace such as via trace-cmd report. This patch uses zone_idx() instead of zone->name as the raw value, and when printing, converts the zone_type to string using the appropriate EM() macros and some ugly tricks to overcome the problem that half the values depend on CONFIG_ options and one does not simply use #ifdef inside of #define. trace-cmd output before: transhuge-stres-4235 [000] 453.149280: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 zone=ffffffff81815d7a order=9 ret=partial after: transhuge-stres-4235 [000] 453.149280: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 zone=Normal order=9 ret=partial Signed-off-by:

At the for_each_process() loop in oom_kill_process(), we are comparing address of OOM victim's mm without holding a reference to that mm. If there are a lot of processes to compare or a lot of "Kill process %d (%s) sharing same memory" messages to print, for_each_process() loop could take very long time. It is possible that meanwhile the OOM victim exits and releases its mm, and then mm is allocated with the same address and assigned to some unrelated process. When we hit such race, the unrelated process will be killed by error. To make sure that the OOM victim's mm does not go away until for_each_process() loop finishes, get a reference on the OOM victim's mm before calling task_unlock(victim).

If SIGKILL is delivered before TIF_MEMDIE is set, the oom-depleter can terminate without touching memory reserves. Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19 and earlier kernels because TIF_MEMDIE is set immediately before sending SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for terminating the OOM victim.

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during writeback. The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2). However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl, which don't check error status of individual mappings. As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events happen in the following order: Application System admin ---------------------------------------------------------- write data on page cache Run sync command writeback completes with error filemap_fdatawait() clears error fsync returns success (but the data is not on disk) This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.
