The kmem_cache_create() function in the slob allocator passes the SLAB
flags as GFP flags to the slob_alloc() function. The patch changes this
call to pass GFP_KERNEL as the other allocators seem to do.

Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.
The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.
Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.

Since commit 2f007e74bb85b9fc4eab28524052161703300f1a, do_pages_stat()
gets the page address from user-space and puts the corresponding status
back while holding the mmap_sem for read. There is no need to hold
mmap_sem there while some page-faults may occur.
This patch adds a temporary address and status buffer so as to only
hold mmap_sem while working on these kernel buffers. This is
implemented by extracting do_pages_stat_array() out of do_pages_stat().

Currently, lru_add_drain_all() has two version.
(1) use schedule_on_each_cpu()
(2) don't use schedule_on_each_cpu()
Gerald Schaefer reported it doesn't work well on SMP (not NUMA) S390
machine.
offline_pages() calls lru_add_drain_all() followed by drain_all_pages().
While drain_all_pages() works on each cpu, lru_add_drain_all() only runs
on the current cpu for architectures w/o CONFIG_NUMA. This let us run
into the BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during
memory hotplug stress test on s390. The page in question was still on the
pcp list, because of a race with lru_add_drain_all() and drain_all_pages()
on different cpus.
Actually, Almost machine has CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU=y. Then almost machine use
(1) version lru_add_drain_all although the machine is UP.
Then this ifdef is not valueable.
simple removing is better.

Count the insertion of new pages in the statistics used to drive the
pageout scanning code. This should help the kernel quickly evict
streaming file IO.
We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU
and new anonymous pages start on the active anon list. This means
streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while
leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning
to the file LRUs.
Pageout activity does its own list manipulation.

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get
registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the
last registered device of the devices sharing one queue.
On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and
cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created.
This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the
bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the
first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.
While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)
Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.
But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)
And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.
One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called. (low priority than slub now.)
I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.
Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

Jim Radford has reported that the vmap subsystem rewrite was sometimes
causing his VIVT ARM system to behave strangely (seemed like going into
infinite loops trying to fault in pages to userspace).
We determined that the problem was most likely due to a cache aliasing
issue. flush_cache_vunmap was only being called at the moment the page
tables were to be taken down, however with lazy unmapping, this can happen
after the page has subsequently been freed and allocated for something
else. The dangling alias may still have dirty data attached to it.
The fix for this problem is to do the cache flushing when the caller has
called vunmap -- it would be a bug for them to write anything else to the
mapping at that point.
That appeared to solve Jim's problems.

In the past, GFP_NOFS (but of course not GFP_NOIO) was allowed to reclaim
by writing to swap. That got partially broken in 2.6.23, when may_enter_fs
initialization was moved up before the allocation of swap, so its
PageSwapCache test was failing the first time around,
Fix it by setting may_enter_fs when add_to_swap() succeeds with
__GFP_IO. In fact, check __GFP_IO before calling add_to_swap():
allocating swap we're not ready to use just increases disk seeking.

Current vmalloc restart search for a free area in case we can't find one.
The reason is there are areas which are lazily freed, and could be
possibly freed now. However, current implementation start searching the
tree from the last failing address, which is pretty much by definition at
the end of address space. So, we fail.
The proposal of this patch is to restart the search from the beginning of
the requested vstart address. This fixes the regression in running KVM
virtual machines for me, described in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/28/349,
caused by commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce.

After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated.
By reviewing the code, we found that the update function
cpuset_track_online_nodes()
was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes. It is wrong because
N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use
N_HIGH_MEMORY. So, We should invoke the update function after
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says.
This patch fixes it. And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of
direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().

lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test
machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task
have mmap_sem.
Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages
stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue
unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list.
So removing is better.
In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and
sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to
unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing
is better.
Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field
mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real
trouble.

If all allowable memory is unreclaimable, it is possible to loop forever
in the page allocator for ~__GFP_NORETRY allocations.
During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its
set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory. The cached
copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there
has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state().
The cached copy of the set of allowable nodes is now updated in the page
allocator's slow path so the additional memory is available to
get_page_from_freelist().

Oops. Part of the hugetlb private reservation code was not fully
converted to use hstates.
When a huge page must be unmapped from VMAs due to a failed COW,
HPAGE_SIZE is used in the call to unmap_hugepage_range() regardless of
the page size being used. This works if the VMA is using the default
huge page size. Otherwise we might unmap too much, too little, or
trigger a BUG_ON. Rare but serious -- fix it.

The STACK_GROWSUP case of stack expansion was missing a test for 'prev',
which got removed by commit cb8f488c33539f096580e202f5438a809195008f
("mmap.c: deinline a few functions") by mistake.
I found my original email in "sent" folder. The patch in that mail
does NOT remove !prev. That change had beed added by someone else.
Ok, I think we are not much interested in who did it, let's
fix it for good.

My last bugfix here (adding zone->lock) introduced a new problem: Using
page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)) to get the zone after the for() loop is wrong.
pfn will then be >= end_pfn, which may be in a different zone or not
present at all. This may lead to an addressing exception in page_zone()
or spin_lock_irqsave().
Now I use __first_valid_page() again after the loop to find a valid page
for page_zone().

Move the migrate_prep outside the mmap_sem for the following system calls
1. sys_move_pages
2. sys_migrate_pages
3. sys_mbind()
It really does not matter when we flush the lru. The system is free to
add pages onto the lru even during migration which will make the page
migration either skip the page (mbind, migrate_pages) or return a busy
state (move_pages).
Fixes this lockdep warning (and potential deadlock):
Some VM place has
mmap_sem -> kevent_wq via lru_add_drain_all()
net/core/dev.c::dev_ioctl() has
rtnl_lock -> mmap_sem (*) the ioctl has copy_from_user() and it can do page fault.
linkwatch_event has
kevent_wq -> rtnl_lock

As we can determine exactly when a gigantic page is in use we can optimise
the common regular page cases by pulling out gigantic page initialisation
into its own function. As gigantic pages are never released to buddy we
do not need a destructor. This effectivly reverts the previous change to
the main buddy allocator. It also adds a paranoid check to ensure we
never release gigantic pages from hugetlbfs to the main buddy.

When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages are
smaller than MAX_ORDER. Specifically it assumes that the mem_map is
contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the mem_map
that represent the hugepage. Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages on
powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size). This means that we can no longer make use of
the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map, which
ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally aligned
areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.
This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle
any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries. It then uses these to
implement gigantic page versions of copy_huge_page and clear_huge_page,
and to allow follow_hugetlb_page handle gigantic pages.

As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

Junjiro R. Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit. In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.
We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).
To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers
Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm

page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
(and this caused panic at boot.)
This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.
Time table is following:
==
parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
....
cgroup_init_early() # "early" init of cgroup.
....
setup_arch() # memmap is allocated.
...
page_cgroup_init();
mem_init(); # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
....
cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
==
Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.
(*) maybe this is not very clean but
- cgroup_init_early() is too early
- in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
directly to init/main.c
