Our system uses significantly more slab memory with memcg enabled with
the latest kernel. With 3.10 kernel, slab uses 2G memory, while with
4.6 kernel, 6G memory is used. The shrinker has problem. Let's see we
have two memcg for one shrinker. In do_shrink_slab:
1. Check cg1. nr_deferred = 0, assume total_scan = 700. batch size
is 1024, then no memory is freed. nr_deferred = 700
2. Check cg2. nr_deferred = 700. Assume freeable = 20, then
total_scan = 10 or 40. Let's assume it's 10. No memory is freed.
nr_deferred = 10.
The deferred share of cg1 is lost in this case. kswapd will free no
memory even run above steps again and again.
The fix makes sure one memcg's deferred share isn't lost.

We had some problems with pages getting unmapped in single threaded
affinitized processes. It was tracked down to NUMA scanning.
In this case it doesn't make any sense to unmap pages if the process is
single threaded and the page is already on the node the process is
running on.
Add a check for this case into the numa protection code, and skip
unmapping if true.
In theory the process could be migrated later, but we will eventually
rescan and unmap and migrate then.
In theory this could be made more fancy: remembering this state per
process or even whole mm. However that would need extra tracking and be
more complicated, and the simple check seems to work fine so far.

Rather than tracking the number of active slabs for each node, track the
total number of slabs. This is a minor improvement that avoids active
slab tracking when a slab goes from free to partial or partial to free.
For slab debugging, this also removes an explicit free count since it
can easily be inferred by the difference in number of total objects and
number of active objects.

Reading /proc/slabinfo or monitoring slabtop(1) can become very
expensive if there are many slab caches and if there are very lengthy
per-node partial and/or free lists.
Commit 07a63c41fa1f ("mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo
stats") addressed the per-node full lists which showed a significant
improvement when no objects were freed. This patch has the same
motivation and optimizes the remainder of the usecases where there are
very lengthy partial and free lists.
This patch maintains per-node active_slabs (full and partial) and
free_slabs rather than iterating the lists at runtime when reading
/proc/slabinfo.
When allocating 100GB of slab from a test cache where every slab page is
on the partial list, reading /proc/slabinfo (includes all other slab
caches on the system) takes ~247ms on average with 48 samples.
As a result of this patch, the same read takes ~0.856ms on average.

Verify that kmem_create_cache flags are not allocator specific. It is
done before removing flags that are not available with the current
configuration.
The current kmem_cache_create removes incorrect flags but do not
validate the callers are using them right. This change will ensure that
callers are not trying to create caches with flags that won't be used
because allocator specific.

The slub allocator gives us some incorrect warnings when
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is set, as the unlikely() macro
prevents it from seeing that the return code matches what it was before:
mm/slub.c: In function `kmem_cache_free_bulk':
mm/slub.c:262:23: error: `df.s' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
mm/slub.c:2943:3: error: `df.cnt' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
mm/slub.c:2933:4470: error: `df.freelist' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
mm/slub.c:2943:3: error: `df.tail' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
I have not been able to come up with a perfect way for dealing with
this, the three options I see are:
- add a bogus initialization, which would increase the runtime overhead
- replace unlikely() with unlikely_notrace()
- remove the unlikely() annotation completely
I checked the object code for a typical x86 configuration and the last
two cases produce the same result, so I went for the last one, which is
the simplest.

synchronize_sched() is a heavy operation and calling it per each cache
owned by a memory cgroup being destroyed may take quite some time. What
is worse, it's currently called under the slab_mutex, stalling all works
doing cache creation/destruction.
Actually, there isn't much point in calling synchronize_sched() for each
cache - it's enough to call it just once - after setting cpu_partial for
all caches and before shrinking them. This way, we can also move it out
of the slab_mutex, which we have to hold for iterating over the slab
cache list.

Creating a lot of cgroups at the same time might stall all worker
threads with kmem cache creation works, because kmem cache creation is
done with the slab_mutex held. The problem was amplified by commits
801faf0db894 ("mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache") in case of
SLAB and 81ae6d03952c ("mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with
synchronize_sched() in kmem_cache_shrink()") in case of SLUB, which
increased the maximal time the slab_mutex can be held.
To prevent that from happening, let's use a special ordered single
threaded workqueue for kmem cache creation. This shouldn't introduce
any functional changes regarding how kmem caches are created, as the
work function holds the global slab_mutex during its whole runtime
anyway, making it impossible to run more than one work at a time. By
using a single threaded workqueue, we just avoid creating a thread per
each work. Ordering is required to avoid a situation when a cgroup's
work is put off indefinitely because there are other cgroups to serve,
in other words to guarantee fairness.

CURRENT_TIME is not y2038 safe.
Use y2038 safe ktime_get_real_seconds() here for timestamps. struct
heartbeat_block's hb_seq and deletetion time are already 64 bits wide
and accommodate times beyond y2038.
Also use y2038 safe ktime_get_real_ts64() for on disk inode timestamps.
These are also wide enough to accommodate time64_t.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Use time64_t which is y2038 safe to
represent orphan scan times. time64_t is sufficient here as only the
seconds delta times are relevant.
Also use appropriate time functions that return time in time64_t format.
Time functions now return monotonic time instead of real time as only
delta scan times are relevant and these values are not persistent across
reboots.
The format string for the debug print is still using long as this is
only the time elapsed since the last scan and long is sufficient to
represent this value.

In ocfs2_lock_refcount_tree, if ocfs2_read_refcount_block() returns an
error, we do ocfs2_refcount_tree_put twice (once in
ocfs2_unlock_refcount_tree and once outside it), thereby reducing the
refcount of the refcount tree twice, but we dont delete the tree in this
case. This will make refcnt of the tree = 0 and the
ocfs2_refcount_tree_put will eventually call ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing,
setting OCFS2_LOCK_FREEING for the refcount_tree->rf_lockres.
The error returned by ocfs2_read_refcount_block is propagated all the
way back and for next iteration of write, ocfs2_lock_refcount_tree gets
the same tree back from ocfs2_get_refcount_tree because we havent
deleted the tree. Now we have the same tree, but OCFS2_LOCK_FREEING is
set for rf_lockres and eventually, when _ocfs2_lock_refcount_tree is
called in this iteration, BUG_ON( __ocfs2_cluster_lock:1395 ERROR:

Some builds of m32r were failing as it tried to build few drivers which
needed dma but m32r is not having dma support. Objections were raised
when it was tried to make those drivers depend on HAS_DMA. So the next

benign process" by allowing "security-concious program can use this
prctl once during its early initialization to ensure the prctl cannot
later be abused for this purpose":
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133160684517468&w=2
This explanation doesn't look sufficient. The only thing "exe" link is
indicating is the file, used to execve, which is basically nothing and
not reliable immediately after process has returned from execve system
call.
Moreover, to use this feture, all the mappings to previous exe file have
to be unmapped and all the new exe file permissions must be satisfied.
Which means, that changing exe link is very similar to calling execve on
the binary.
The need to remove this limitations comes from migration of NFS mount
point, which is not accessible during restore and replaced by other file
system. Because of this exe link has to be changed twice.

When commit fbae2d44aa1d ("kthread: add kthread_create_worker*()")
introduced some kthread_create_...() functions which were taking
printf-like parametter, it introduced __printf attributes to some
functions (e.g. kthread_create_worker()). Nevertheless some new
functions were forgotten (they have been detected thanks to
-Wmissing-format-attribute warning flag).
Add the missing __printf attributes to the newly-introduced functions in
order to detect formatting issues at build-time with -Wformat flag.

Commit 642261ac995e: "dax: add struct iomap based DAX PMD support" has
introduced unmapping of page tables if huge page needs to be split in
grab_mapping_entry(). However the unmapping happens after
radix_tree_preload() call which disables preemption and thus
unmap_mapping_range() tries to acquire i_mmap_lock in atomic context
which is a bug. Fix the problem by moving unmapping before
radix_tree_preload() call.

Commit 265a5b7ee3eb ("kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for gcc 4.6")
has added __used attribute to kprobe_trace_selftest_target to ensure
that the method is listed in kallsyms table.
However, even though the method remains in the kernel image, the actual
call is optimized away as there are no side effects and the return value
is never checked.
Add a return value check and a 'noinline' attribute to ensure that an
inlined copy of the method is not used by the caller. Also add checks
that verify that the kprobe was really hit, as at the moment the tests
show positive results despite the test method being optimized away.
Finally, add __init annotations to find_trace_probe_file() and
kprobe_trace_selftest_target() as they are only called from within an
__init method.

The number of probe hits is stored in a percpu variable and therefore
can't be read directly. Add a helper method trace_kprobe_nhit() that
performs the required calculation.
It will be used in a follow-up commit that changes kprobe selftests to
verify the number of probe hits.

Currently, every backlight interface created by Nouveau uses the same name,
nv_backlight. This leads to a sysfs warning as it tries to create an already
existing folder. This patch adds a incremented number to the name, but keeps
the initial name as nv_backlight, to avoid possibly breaking userspace; the
second interface will be named nv_backlight1, and so on.
Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86539
v2:
* Switch to using ida for generating unique IDs, as suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Allocate backlight name on the stack, as suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Move `nouveau_get_backlight_name()` to avoid forward declaration, as
suggested by Ilia Mirkin;
* Fix reference to bug report formatting, as reported by Nick Tenney.
v3:
* Define a macro for the size of the backlight name, to avoid defining
it multiple times;
* Use snprintf in place of sprintf.
v4:
* Do not create similarly named interfaces when reaching the maximum
amount of unique names, but fail instead, as pointed out by Lukas Wunner

TTM was changed a while back to allow for pipelining of buffer moves, and
part of this was the removal of waiting for a BO to idle before calling
move(), placing the responsibility on the driver to do this if required.
That's all well and good, except, we make use of move_notify() to handle
mapping/unmapping from the GPU VMM as move() isn't called on all paths.
This commit adds a wait before unmapping from a VMM in move_notify(), to
prevent GPU page faults where a buffer is still being accessed.

This has been on the TODO list for a while now, recovering from things
such as attempting to execute a push buffer or touch a semaphore in an
unmapped memory area.
The only thing required on the HW side here is that the offending
channel is removed from the runlist, and *not* a full reset of PFIFO.
This used to be a bit messier to handle before the rework to make use
of engine topology info, but is apparently now trivial.

Pull x86 microcode update from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change (by Borislav Petkov) is a thorough rewrite of the
Intel microcode loader and its interactions with the core code.
The biggest conceptual change is the decoupling of the microcode
loading on boot and application processors (which load the microcode
in different scenarios), so that both parse the input patches with as
few assumptions as possible - this also fixes various kernel address
space randomization bugs. (The AP side then goes on and caches the
result to improve boot performance.)
Since the AMD side already did this, this change also opened up the
path towards more unification/simplification of the core microcode
loading infrastructure:

moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but I forgot to initially set the

Add a flags parameter to send_cap_msg, so we can request expedited
service from the MDS when we know we'll be waiting on the result.
Set that flag in the case of try_flush_caps. The callers of that
function generally wait synchronously on the result, so it's beneficial
to ask the server to expedite it.

The userland ceph has MClientCaps at struct version 10. This brings the
kernel up the same version.
For now, all of the the new stuff is set to default values including
the flags field, which will be conditionally set in a later patch.
Note that we don't need to set the change_attr and btime to anything
since we aren't currently setting the feature flag. The MDS should
ignore those values.

When we get to this many arguments, it's hard to work with positional
parameters. send_cap_msg is already at 25 arguments, with more needed.
Define a new args structure and pass a pointer to it to send_cap_msg.
Eventually it might make sense to embed one of these inside
ceph_cap_snap instead of tracking individual fields.
