2009-02-03write-back: fix nr_to_write counterArtem Bityutskiy
Commit 05fe478dd04e02fa230c305ab9b5616669821dd3 introduced some @wbc->nr_to_write breakage. It made the following changes: 1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write 2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE 3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going. However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make change 3. Change 1 is a bug. Change 2 does not seem to be necessary, and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done separately later. And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the commit message. This patch does the following: 1. Undo changes 1 and 2 2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments in _code_, not only in the commit).

2009-02-01Manually revert "mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"Linus Torvalds
This essentially reverts commit 8edb08caf68184fb170f4f69c7445929e199eaea. It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to walk the vma lists and take page faults etc. Which is a nice idea, but the implementation does not work. Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely and then re-take it as a writelock. However, that meant that the caller possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range. The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally unmapping it). The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding just the read lock. And then just drop the read-lock and return to user space. The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped, and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one vma region. So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions" thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct. Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly some day.

2009-01-31Stop playing silly games with the VM_ACCOUNT flagLinus Torvalds
The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it should enable accounting for the resulting shm object. It would then clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case). This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just unnecessary confusion. Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from that. This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite possibly not intentional. But since I didn't want to change semantics in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the new flag semantics. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-01-30Allow opportunistic merging of VM_CAN_NONLINEAR areasLinus Torvalds
Commit de33c8db5910cda599899dd431cc30d7c1018cbf ("Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an oops. But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called ->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags' values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous mappings of the same file around it. And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a marker to say "I can be made non-linear". This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match, because we know they are ok to merge. Currently it's only that single VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others in the future.

2009-01-29memcg: get/put parents at create/freeDaisuke Nishimura
The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from swap_cgroup. This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree. This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting it at freeing.

2009-01-29Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segmentsLinus Torvalds
As of commit ba470de43188cdbff795b5da43a1474523c6c2fb ("map: handle mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped mlocked pages. However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may be stale. We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page handling. This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early, avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid. As pointed out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.

The per cpu array of kmem_cache_cpu structures accomodates NR_KMEM_CACHE_CPU such structs. When this array overflows and a struct is allocated by kmalloc(), it may have an address at the upper bound of this array. If this happens, it does not get freed and the per cpu kmem_cache_cpu_free pointer will be out of bounds after kmem_cache_destroy() or cpu offlining.

2009-01-15memcg: make oom less frequentlyDaisuke Nishimura
In previous implementation, mem_cgroup_try_charge checked the return value of mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages, and just retried if some pages had been reclaimed. But now, try_charge(and mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim called from it) only checks whether the usage is less than the limit.

2009-01-15memcg: fix hierarchical reclaimDaisuke Nishimura
If root_mem has no children, last_scaned_child is set to root_mem itself. But after some children added to root_mem, mem_cgroup_get_next_node can mem_cgroup_put the root_mem although root_mem has not been mem_cgroup_get. This patch fixes this behavior by: - Set last_scanned_child to NULL if root_mem has no children or DFS search has returned to root_mem itself(root_mem is not a "child" of root_mem). Make mem_cgroup_get_first_node return root_mem in this case. There are no mem_cgroup_get/put for root_mem. - Rename mem_cgroup_get_next_node to __mem_cgroup_get_next_node, and mem_cgroup_get_first_node to mem_cgroup_get_next_node. Make mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim call only new mem_cgroup_get_next_node.

2009-01-15alpha: fix vmalloc breakageIvan Kokshaysky
On alpha, we have to map some stuff in the VMALLOC space very early in the boot process (to make SRM console callbacks work and so on, see arch/alpha/mm/init.c). For old VM allocator, we just manually placed a vm_struct onto the global vmlist and this worked for ages. Unfortunately, the new allocator isn't aware of this, so it constantly tries to allocate the VM space which is already in use, making vmalloc on alpha defunct. This patch forces KVA to import vmlist entries on init.

System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.

2009-01-08memcg: fix shmem's swap accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, you can see following even when swap accounting is enabled. 1. Create Group 01, and 02. 2. allocate a "file" on tmpfs by a task under 01. 3. swap out the "file" (by memory pressure) 4. Read "file" from a task in group 02. 5. the charge of "file" is moved to group 02. This is not ideal behavior. This is because SwapCache which was loaded by read-ahead is not taken into account.. This is a patch to fix shmem's swapcache behavior. - remove mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin(). - Add SwapCache handler routine to mem_cgroup_cache_charge(). By this, shmem's file cache is charged at add_to_page_cache() with GFP_NOWAIT. - pass the page of swapcache to shrink_mem_cgroup.

2009-01-08memcg: fix swap accounting leakKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Fix swapin charge operation of memcg. Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really unused or not. That check depends on contents of struct page. I.e. If PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as still-in-use. Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence (Page fault with WRITE) try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE) commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..) reuse_swap_page() -> delete_from_swapcache() -> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE) ...... New charge is uncharged soon.... To avoid this, move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1. By this, try_charge() (usage += PAGESIZE) reuse_swap_page() (may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set) commit_charge() (If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED, add new charge.) Accounting will be correct. Changelog (v2) -> (v3) - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0. - updated documentation. Changelog (v1) -> (v2) - fixed comment.

2009-01-08memcg: avoid deadlock caused by race between oom and cpuset_attachDaisuke Nishimura
mpol_rebind_mm(), which can be called from cpuset_attach(), does down_write(mm->mmap_sem). This means down_write(mm->mmap_sem) can be called under cgroup_mutex. OTOH, page fault path does down_read(mm->mmap_sem) and calls mem_cgroup_try_charge_xxx(), which may eventually calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). And mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() calls cgroup_lock(). This means cgroup_lock() can be called under down_read(mm->mmap_sem). If those two paths race, deadlock can happen. This patch avoid this deadlock by: - remove cgroup_lock() from mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(). - define new mutex (memcg_tasklist) and serialize mem_cgroup_move_task() (->attach handler of memory cgroup) and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.

Luckly, this is NOT bug because prev_priority isn't used for current reclaim code. However, we plan to use prev_priority future again. Therefore, fixing is better.
