      NUMA_NO_NODE and numa_node_id() have different meanings.  NUMA_NO_NODE is
      obviously the recommended fallback.

      exec: do not call request_module() twice from search_binary_handler() · 91219352
      Tetsuo Handa authored
      Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module
      using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet
      loaded.  But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result
      of search_binary_handler().
      
      If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice
      causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions.  It is
      not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up.
      
      Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1
      to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion.

      Commit a8bef8ff ("mm: migration: avoid race between
      shift_arg_pages() and rmap_walk() during migration by not migrating
      temporary stacks") introduced a BUG_ON() to ensure that VM_STACK_FLAGS

      time one, so BUILD_BUG_ON is more appropriate.

      proc: fix a race in do_io_accounting() · 293eb1e7
      Vasiliy Kulikov authored
      If an inode's mode permits opening /proc/PID/io and the resulting file
      descriptor is kept across execve() of a setuid or similar binary, the
      ptrace_may_access() check tries to prevent using this fd against the
      task with escalated privileges.
      
      Unfortunately, there is a race in the check against execve().  If
      execve() is processed after the ptrace check, but before the actual io
      information gathering, io statistics will be gathered from the
      privileged process.  At least in theory this might lead to gathering
      sensible information (like ssh/ftp password length) that wouldn't be
      available otherwise.
      
      Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex while gathering the io
      information should protect against the race.
      
      The order of locking is similar to the one inside of ptrace_attach():
      first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand().

      do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should return

      coredump: escape / in hostname and comm · 2c563731
      Jiri Slaby authored
      Change every occurence of / in comm and hostname to !.  If the process
      changes its name to contain /, the core is not dumped (if the directory
      tree doesn't exist like that).  The same with hostname being something
      like myhost/3.  Fix this behaviour by using the escape loop used in %E.
      (We extract it to a separate function.)
      
      Now both with comm == myprocess/1 and hostname == myhost/1, the core is
      dumped like (kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%h):
      core.2349.myprocess!1.myhost!1

      cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() · 778d3b0f
      Michal Hocko authored
      [ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0 but later
        reverted (commit 35926ff5) because it itroduced arch specific
        __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
        archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
        that there are no functional changes.]
      
      Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
      too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
      that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
      at node 0 for newly created tasks.
      
      This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
      of the cpuset.

      memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lock · 8521fc50
      Michal Hocko authored
      percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
      caches draining because we might end up having too many work items.  At
      least this was the case until commit 26fe6168 ("memcg: fix percpu
      cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
      draining for async mode.
      
      Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
      because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
      FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
      times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
      there is obviously nothing to be done.  This is of course racy but we
      can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
      see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
      non-zero).
      
      The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
      rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
      drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.

      memcg: unify sync and async per-cpu charge cache draining · d38144b7
      Michal Hocko authored
      Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
      drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
      drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
      a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy.  Targeted async
      draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
      charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.
      
      sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
      which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
      when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy).  Although these are
      not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
      draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.
      
      This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
      which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
      flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
      mode.  We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
      waiting on a work that we haven't triggered.  Please note that both sync
      and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
      cannot race with other drainers.

      memcg: do not try to drain per-cpu caches without pages · d1a05b69
      Michal Hocko authored
      drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
      queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
      the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
      and it's failed so it must be empty already.
      
      While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
      the current number of pages in the cache.  This will also reduce a work
      on other CPUs with an empty stock.
      
      For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
      deferring it to the work queue.

      memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat · 82f9d486
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored
      The commit log of 0ae5e89c ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
      in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file.  But it doesn't
      because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.
      
      This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
        - the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
        - the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
        - the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
        - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)
      
        for both of direct/soft reclaim.
      
      The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
      can be reset by some write, as
      
        # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

      total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.
      
      This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
      developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
      management.
      
      This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
      sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information.  For
      example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
      mapped pages.
      
      To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
      exporting scanning score.

      memcg: fix behavior of mem_cgroup_resize_limit() · 108b6a78
      Daisuke Nishimura authored
      Commit 22a668d7 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
      memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
      when mem_limit == memsw_limit.  The flag is checked at the beginning of
      reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
      meaningless in this case.
      
      This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
      which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
      because swap doesn't used.
      
      This patch fixes this behavior by:
       - check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
       - If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.

      memcg: fix vmscan count in small memcgs · 4508378b
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored
      Commit 246e87a9 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
      fixes the memcg/kswapd behavior against small targets and prevent vmscan
      priority too high.
      
      But the implementation is too naive and adds another problem to small
      memcg.  It always force scan to 32 pages of file/anon and doesn't handle
      swappiness and other rotate_info.  It makes vmscan to scan anon LRU
      regardless of swappiness and make reclaim bad.  This patch fixes it by
      adjusting scanning count with regard to swappiness at el.
      
      At a test "cat 1G file under 300M limit." (swappiness=20)
       before patch
              scanned_pages_by_limit 360919
              scanned_anon_pages_by_limit 180469

              freed_file_pages_by_limit 180439
              elapsed_ns_by_limit 429758872
       after patch
              scanned_pages_by_limit 180674

              scanned_file_pages_by_limit 180650
              rotated_pages_by_limit 35
              rotated_anon_pages_by_limit 24
              rotated_file_pages_by_limit 11
              freed_pages_by_limit 180634
              freed_anon_pages_by_limit 0
              freed_file_pages_by_limit 180634
              elapsed_ns_by_limit 367119089
              scanned_pages_by_system 0
      
      the numbers of scanning anon are decreased(as expected), and elapsed time
      reduced. By this patch, small memcgs will work better.
      (*) Because the amount of file-cache is much bigger than anon,
          recalaim_stat's rotate-scan counter make scanning files more.

      memcg: change memcg_oom_mutex to spinlock · 1af8efe9
      Michal Hocko authored
      memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface
      for oom_control.  None of the critical sections which it protects sleep
      (eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked
      list resp.  oom_lock atomic operations).
      
      Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a
      lot of scheduling.  It also makes makes convoying effects more visible
      when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock
      mutliple times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places
      where many processes can sleep.

      memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than counter · 79dfdacc
      Michal Hocko authored
      Commit 867578cb ("memcg: fix oom kill behavior") introduced a oom_lock
      counter which is incremented by mem_cgroup_oom_lock when we are about to
      handle memcg OOM situation.  mem_cgroup_handle_oom falls back to a sleep
      if oom_lock > 1 to prevent from multiple oom kills at the same time.
      The counter is then decremented by mem_cgroup_oom_unlock called from the
      same function.
      
      This works correctly but it can lead to serious starvations when we have
      many processes triggering OOM and many CPUs available for them (I have
      tested with 16 CPUs).
      
      Consider a process (call it A) which gets the oom_lock (the first one
      that got to mem_cgroup_handle_oom and grabbed memcg_oom_mutex) and other
      processes that are blocked on the mutex.  While A releases the mutex and
      calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory others will wake up (one after another)
      and increase the counter and fall into sleep (memcg_oom_waitq).
      
      Once A finishes mem_cgroup_out_of_memory it takes the mutex again and
      decreases oom_lock and wakes other tasks (if releasing memory by
      somebody else - e.g.  killed process - hasn't done it yet).
      
      A testcase would look like:
        Assume malloc XXX is a program allocating XXX Megabytes of memory
        which touches all allocated pages in a tight loop
        # swapoff SWAP_DEVICE
        # cgcreate -g memory:A
        # cgset -r memory.oom_control=0   A
        # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 200M
        # for i in `seq 100`
        # do
        #     cgexec -g memory:A   malloc 10 &
        # done
      
      The main problem here is that all processes still race for the mutex and
      there is no guarantee that we will get counter back to 0 for those that
      got back to mem_cgroup_handle_oom.  In the end the whole convoy
      in/decreases the counter but we do not get to 1 that would enable
      killing so nothing useful can be done.  The time is basically unbounded
      because it highly depends on scheduling and ordering on mutex (I have
      seen this taking hours...).
      
      This patch replaces the counter by a simple {un}lock semantic.  As
      mem_cgroup_oom_{un}lock works on the a subtree of a hierarchy we have to
      make sure that nobody else races with us which is guaranteed by the
      memcg_oom_mutex.
      
      We have to be careful while locking subtrees because we can encounter a
      subtree which is already locked: hierarchy:
      
                A
              /   \
             B     \
            /\      \
           C  D     E
      
      B - C - D tree might be already locked.  While we want to enable locking
      E subtree because OOM situations cannot influence each other we
      definitely do not want to allow locking A.
      
      Therefore we have to refuse lock if any subtree is already locked and
      clear up the lock for all nodes that have been set up to the failure
      point.
      
      On the other hand we have to make sure that the rest of the world will
      recognize that a group is under OOM even though it doesn't have a lock.
      Therefore we have to introduce under_oom variable which is incremented
      and decremented for the whole subtree when we enter resp.  leave
      mem_cgroup_handle_oom.  under_oom, unlike oom_lock, doesn't need be
      updated under memcg_oom_mutex because its users only check a single
      group and they use atomic operations for that.
      
      This can be checked easily by the following test case:
      
        # cgcreate -g memory:A
        # cgset -r memory.use_hierarchy=1 A
        # cgset -r memory.oom_control=1   A
        # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 100M
        # cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes= 100M
        # cgcreate -g memory:A/B
        # cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A/B
        # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=20M
        # cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=20M
        # cgexec -g memory:A/B malloc 30  &    #->this will be blocked by OOM of group B
        # cgexec -g memory:A   malloc 80  &    #->this will be blocked by OOM of group A
      
      While B gets oom_lock A will not get it.  Both of them go into sleep and
      wait for an external action.  We can make the limit higher for A to
      enforce waking it up
      
        # cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=300M A
        # cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=300M A
      
      malloc in A has to wake up even though it doesn't have oom_lock.
      
      Finally, the unlock path is very easy because we always unlock only the
      subtree we have locked previously while we always decrement under_oom.

      memcg: consolidate memory cgroup lru stat functions · bb2a0de9
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored
      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)
      
      Then, we'll gather information in the same cacheline at once.

      memcg: export memory cgroup's swappiness with mem_cgroup_swappiness() · 1f4c025b
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki authored
      Each memory cgroup has a 'swappiness' value which can be accessed by
      get_swappiness(memcg).  The major user is try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
      and swappiness is passed by argument.  It's propagated by scan_control.
      
      get_swappiness() is a static function but some planned updates will need
      to get swappiness from files other than memcontrol.c This patch exports
      get_swappiness() as mem_cgroup_swappiness().  With this, we can remove the
      argument of swapiness from try_to_free...  and drop swappiness from
      scan_control.  only memcg uses it.

      frv, exec: remove redundant set_fs(USER_DS) · adc400f6
      Mathias Krause authored
      The address limit is already set in flush_old_exec() so those calls to
      set_fs(USER_DS) are redundant.
      
      Also removed the dead code in flush_thread().

      Sage Weil authored
      For the most part we don't care about racing with rename when directing
      MDS requests; either the old or new parent is fine.  Document that, and
      do some minor cleanup.
