Now we renamed remove_from_page_cache with delete_from_page_cache. As
consistency of __remove_from_swap_cache and remove_from_swap_cache, we
change internal page cache handling function name, too.

When a tail page of THP is poisoned, memory-failure will do nothing except
setting PG_hwpoison, while the expected behavior is that the process, who
is using the poisoned tail page, should be killed.
The above problem is caused by lru check of the poisoned tail page of THP.
Because PG_lru flag is only set on the head page of THP, the check always
consider the poisoned tail page as NON lru page.
So the lru check for the tail page of THP should be avoided, as like as
hugetlb.
This patch adds !PageTransCompound() before lru check for THP, because of
the check (!PageHuge() && !PageTransCompound()) the whole branch could be
optimized away at build time when both hugetlbfs and THP are set with "N"
(or in archs not supporting either of those).

When the tail page of THP is poisoned, the head page will be poisoned too.
And the wrong address, address of head page, will be sent with sigbus
always.
So when the poisoned page is used by Guest OS which is running on KVM,
after the address changing(hva->gpa) by qemu, the unexpected process on
Guest OS will be killed by sigbus.
What we expected is that the process using the poisoned tail page could be
killed on Guest OS, but not that the process using the healthy head page
is killed.
Since it is not good to poison the healthy page, avoid poisoning other
than the page which is really poisoned.
(While we poison all pages in a huge page in case of hugetlb,
we can do this for THP thanks to split_huge_page().)
Here we fix two parts:
1. Isolate the poisoned page only to make sure
the reported address is the address of poisoned page.
2. make the poisoned page work as the poisoned regular page.

The poisoned THP is now split with split_huge_page() in
collect_procs_anon(). If kmalloc() is failed in collect_procs(),
split_huge_page() could not be called. And the work after
split_huge_page() for collecting the processes using poisoned page will
not be done, too. So the processes using the poisoned page could not be
killed.
The condition becomes worse when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM == "Y". Because the
poisoned THP could not be split, system panic will be caused by
VM_BUG_ON(PageTransHuge(page)) in try_to_unmap().
This patch does:
1. move split_huge_page() to the place before collect_procs().
This can be sure the failure of splitting THP is caused by itself.
2. when splitting THP is failed, stop the operations after it.
This can avoid unexpected system panic or non sense works.

If migrate_huge_page by memory-failure fails , it calls put_page in itself
to decrease page reference and caller of migrate_huge_page also calls
putback_lru_pages. It can do double free of page so it can make page

hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs
pages and that broke THP as split_huge_page was then called on hugetlbfs
pages too.
compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted
at any time.
All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages
that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while
compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a
dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic
memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so
I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.

Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap
to ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code. Eventually
swap should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and
decrease seeking and fragmentation of swap space. swapoff can just skip
over huge pmd as they cannot be part of swap yet. In add_to_swap be
careful to split the page only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't
split hugepages with a full swap.
In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan,
but for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode,
or PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem
read/write mode or PG_lock taken. Calling it from isolate_lru_page would
make locking more complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would
deadlock if called by __isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru
lock to add the tail pages.

synchronous compaction in the faster path
Migration synchronously waits for writeback if the initial passes fails.
Callers of memory compaction do not necessarily want this behaviour if the
caller is latency sensitive or expects that synchronous migration is not
going to have a significantly better success rate.
This patch adds a sync parameter to migrate_pages() allowing the caller to
indicate if wait_on_page_writeback() is allowed within migration or not.
For reclaim/compaction, try_to_compact_pages() is first called
asynchronously, direct reclaim runs and then try_to_compact_pages() is
called synchronously as there is a greater expectation that it'll succeed.

Presently update_nr_listpages() doesn't have a role. That's because lists
passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages. The
migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate before
returning by aaa994b3.
[PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages()
Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will
not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of
pages by the callers of migrate_pages().
At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages. But
the situation is changed. The compaction need to know the number of
failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat
This patch makes new rule for caller of migrate_pages to call
putback_lru_pages. So caller need to clean up the lists so it has a
chance to postprocess the pages. [suggested by Christoph Lameter]

Currently error recovery for free hugepage works only for MF_COUNT_INCREASED.
This patch enables !MF_COUNT_INCREASED case.
Free hugepages can be handled directly by alloc_huge_page() and
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page(), and both of them are protected
by hugetlb_lock, so there is no race between them.
Note that this patch defines the refcount of HWPoisoned hugepage
dequeued from freelist is 1, deviated from present 0, thereby we
can avoid race between unpoison and memory failure on free hugepage.
This is reasonable because unlikely to free buddy pages, free hugepage
is governed by hugetlbfs even after error handling finishes.
And it also makes unpoison code added in the later patch cleaner.

In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page
be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay
the MCE to guest OS.
But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest
after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will
be killed.
The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped,
guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be
called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault
address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In
user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace
is killed by force_sig_info.
To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM
and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned
page.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.
In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.
This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.
This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.
This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.
The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.
A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.
Some test results:
Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.
With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

The injector filter requires stable_page_flags() which is supplied
by procfs. So make it dependent on that.
Also add ifdefs around the filter code in memory-failure.c so that
when the filter is disabled due to missing dependencies the whole
code still builds.

This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.
This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.
The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.
We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.
When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.
Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

shake_page handles more types of page caches than
the much simpler lru_add_drain_all:
- slab (quite inefficiently for now)
- any other caches with a shrinker callback
- per cpu page allocator pages
- per CPU LRU
Use this call to try to turn pages into free or LRU pages.
Then handle the case of the page becoming free after drain everything.

In some use cases, user doesn't need extra filtering. E.g. user program
can inject errors through madvise syscall to its own pages, however it
might not know what the page state exactly is or which inode the page
belongs to.
So introduce an one-off interface "corrupt-filter-enable".
Echo 0 to switch off page filters, and echo 1 to switch on the filters.

The hwpoison test suite need to inject hwpoison to a collection of
selected task pages, and must not touch pages not owned by them and
thus kill important system processes such as init. (But it's OK to
mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages.
Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test
suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.)
The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target
processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison
injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory
cgroup.
The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is,
the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is
locked). Which we believe is/should be true.
The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the
mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases.
The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the
(process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space.
However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more
complexity than we wanted.
Example test case:
mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison
usemem -m 100 -s 1000 &
echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks
memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ')
echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg
page-types -p `pidof init` --hwpoison # shall do nothing
page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison # poison its pages

When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value).
- corrupt-filter-flags-mask
- corrupt-filter-flags-value
This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages.
Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid
setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page.
However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will
BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.
The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
numbers:
- corrupt-filter-dev-major
- corrupt-filter-dev-minor
When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
device will be poisoned.
The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

The unpoisoning interface is useful for stress testing tools to
reclaim poisoned pages (to prevent OOM)
There is no hardware level unpoisioning, so this
cannot be used for real memory errors, only for software injected errors.
Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from
LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time.
Especially the stress test of dirty swap cache pages shall reboot system
before exhausting memory.
