Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state
machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure
will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other
trees.
The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in
course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new
mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so
usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively.
There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the
pointlessly different architecture mechanisms of synchronizing,
setting cpus online etc into the core code"

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.

a closer code inspection has shown that we might indeed miss all the
scheduling points in the reclaim path if no pages can be isolated from
the LRU list. This is a pathological case but other reports from Donald
Buczek have shown that we might indeed hit such a path:

this is minute long snapshot which didn't take a single page from the
LRU. It is not entirely clear why only 1303 pages have been scanned
during that time (maybe there was a heavy IRQ activity interfering).
In any case it looks like we can really hit long periods without
scheduling on non preemptive kernels so an explicit cond_resched() in
shrink_node_memcg which is independent on the reclaim operation is due.

On 4.0, we saw a stack corruption from a page fault entering direct
memory cgroup reclaim, calling into btrfs_releasepage(), which then

On later kernels, kmem charging is opt-in rather than opt-out, and that
particular kmem allocation in btrfs_releasepage() is no longer being
charged and won't recurse and overrun the stack anymore.
But it's not impossible for an accounted allocation to happen from the
memcg direct reclaim context, and we needed to reproduce this crash many
times before we even got a useful stack trace out of it.
Like other direct reclaimers, mark tasks in memcg reclaim PF_MEMALLOC to
avoid recursing into any other form of direct reclaim. Then let
recursive charges from PF_MEMALLOC contexts bypass the cgroup limit.

throttle_vm_writeout() was introduced back in 2005 to fix OOMs caused by
excessive pageout activity during the reclaim. Too many pages could be
put under writeback therefore LRUs would be full of unreclaimable pages
until the IO completes and in turn the OOM killer could be invoked.
There have been some important changes introduced since then in the
reclaim path though. Writers are throttled by balance_dirty_pages when
initiating the buffered IO and later during the memory pressure, the
direct reclaim is throttled by wait_iff_congested if the node is
considered congested by dirty pages on LRUs and the underlying bdi is
congested by the queued IO. The kswapd is throttled as well if it
encounters pages marked for immediate reclaim or under writeback which
signals that that there are too many pages under writeback already.
Finally should_reclaim_retry does congestion_wait if the reclaim cannot
make any progress and there are too many dirty/writeback pages.
Another important aspect is that we do not issue any IO from the direct
reclaim context anymore. In a heavy parallel load this could queue a
lot of IO which would be very scattered and thus unefficient which would
just make the problem worse.
This three mechanisms should throttle and keep the amount of IO in a
steady state even under heavy IO and memory pressure so yet another
throttling point doesn't really seem helpful. Quite contrary, Mikulas
Patocka has reported that swap backed by dm-crypt doesn't work properly
because the swapout IO cannot make sufficient progress as the writeout
path depends on dm_crypt worker which has to allocate memory to perform
the encryption. In order to guarantee a forward progress it relies on
the mempool allocator. mempool_alloc(), however, prefers to use the
underlying (usually page) allocator before it grabs objects from the
pool. Such an allocation can dive into the memory reclaim and
consequently to throttle_vm_writeout. If there are too many dirty or
pages under writeback it will get throttled even though it is in fact a
flusher to clear pending pages.

Let's just drop throttle_vm_writeout altogether. It is not very much
helpful anymore.
I have tried to test a potential writeback IO runaway similar to the one
described in the original patch which has introduced that [1]. Small
virtual machine (512MB RAM, 4 CPUs, 2G of swap space and disk image on a
rather slow NFS in a sync mode on the host) with 8 parallel writers each
writing 1G worth of data. As soon as the pagecache fills up and the
direct reclaim hits then I start anon memory consumer in a loop
(allocating 300M and exiting after populating it) in the background to
make the memory pressure even stronger as well as to disrupt the steady
state for the IO. The direct reclaim is throttled because of the
congestion as well as kswapd hitting congestion_wait due to nr_immediate
but throttle_vm_writeout doesn't ever trigger the sleep throughout the
test. Dirty+writeback are close to nr_dirty_threshold with some
fluctuations caused by the anon consumer.

The compaction_ready() is used during direct reclaim for costly order
allocations to skip reclaim for zones where compaction should be
attempted instead. It's combining the standard compaction_suitable()
check with its own watermark check based on high watermark with extra
gap, and the result is confusing at best.
This patch attempts to better structure and document the checks
involved. First, compaction_suitable() can determine that the
allocation should either succeed already, or that compaction doesn't
have enough free pages to proceed. The third possibility is that
compaction has enough free pages, but we still decide to reclaim first -
unless we are already above the high watermark with gap. This does not
mean that the reclaim will actually reach this watermark during single
attempt, this is rather an over-reclaim protection. So document the
code as such. The check for compaction_deferred() is removed
completely, as it in fact had no proper role here.
The result after this patch is mainly a less confusing code. We also
skip some over-reclaim in cases where the allocation should already
succed.

Compaction uses a watermark gap of (2UL << order) pages at various
places and it's not immediately obvious why. Abstract it through a

COMPACT_PARTIAL has historically meant that compaction returned after
doing some work without fully compacting a zone. It however didn't
distinguish if compaction terminated because it succeeded in creating
the requested high-order page. This has changed recently and now we
only return COMPACT_PARTIAL when compaction thinks it succeeded, or the
high-order watermark check in compaction_suitable() passes and no
compaction needs to be done.
So at this point we can make the return value clearer by renaming it to
COMPACT_SUCCESS. The next patch will remove some redundant tests for
success where compaction just returned COMPACT_SUCCESS.

init_tlb_ubc() looked unnecessary to me: tlb_ubc is statically
initialized with zeroes in the init_task, and copied from parent to
child while it is quiescent in arch_dup_task_struct(); so I went to
delete it.
But inserted temporary debug WARN_ONs in place of init_tlb_ubc() to
check that it was always empty at that point, and found them firing:
because memcg reclaim can recurse into global reclaim (when allocating
biosets for swapout in my case), and arrive back at the init_tlb_ubc()
in shrink_node_memcg().
Resetting tlb_ubc.flush_required at that point is wrong: if the upper
level needs a deferred TLB flush, but the lower level turns out not to,
we miss a TLB flush. But fortunately, that's the only part of the
protocol that does not nest: with the initialization removed, cpumask
collects bits from upper and lower levels, and flushes TLB when needed.

buddy allocator
Firmware Assisted Dump (FA_DUMP) on ppc64 reserves substantial amounts
of memory when booting a secondary kernel. Srikar Dronamraju reported
that multiple nodes may have no memory managed by the buddy allocator
but still return true for populated_zone().
Commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") was reported to cause kswapd to spin at 100% CPU usage when
fadump was enabled. The old code happened to deal with the situation of
a populated node with zero free pages by co-incidence but the current
code tries to reclaim populated zones without realising that is
impossible.
We cannot just convert populated_zone() as many existing users really
need to check for present_pages. This patch introduces a managed_zone()
helper and uses it in the few cases where it is critical that the check
is made for managed pages -- zonelist construction and page reclaim.

We must call shrink_slab() for each memory cgroup on both global and
memcg reclaim in shrink_node_memcg(). Commit d71df22b55099 accidentally
changed that so that now shrink_slab() is only called with memcg != NULL
on memcg reclaim. As a result, memcg-aware shrinkers (including
dentry/inode) are never invoked on global reclaim. Fix that.

With node-lru, if there are enough reclaimable pages in highmem but
nothing in lowmem, VM can try to shrink inactive list although the
requested zone is lowmem.
The problem is that if the inactive list is full of highmem pages then a
direct reclaimer searching for a lowmem page waste CPU scanning
uselessly. It just burns out CPU. Even, many direct reclaimers are
stalled by too_many_isolated if lots of parallel reclaimer are going on
although there are no reclaimable memory in inactive list.
I tried the experiment 4 times in 32bit 2G 8 CPU KVM machine to get
elapsed time.

Page reclaim determines whether a pgdat is unreclaimable by examining
how many pages have been scanned since a page was freed and comparing
that to the LRU sizes. Skipped pages are not reclaim candidates but
contribute to scanned. This can prematurely mark a pgdat as
unreclaimable and trigger an OOM kill.
This patch accounts for skipped pages as a partial scan so that an
unreclaimable pgdat will still be marked as such but by scaling the cost
of a skip, it'll avoid the pgdat being marked prematurely.

Minchan Kim reported that with per-zone lru state it was possible to
identify that a normal zone with 8^M anonymous pages could trigger OOM
with non-atomic order-0 allocations as all pages in the zone were in the
active list.

The problem is due to the active deactivation logic in
inactive_list_is_low:
Node 0 active_anon:404412kB inactive_anon:409040kB
IOW, (inactive_anon of node * inactive_ratio > active_anon of node) due
to highmem anonymous stat so VM never deactivates normal zone's
anonymous pages.
This patch is a modified version of Minchan's original solution but
based upon it. The problem with Minchan's patch is that any low zone
with an imbalanced list could force a rotation.
In this patch, a zone-constrained global reclaim will rotate the list if
the inactive/active ratio of all eligible zones needs to be corrected.
It is possible that higher zone pages will be initially rotated
prematurely but this is the safer choice to maintain overall LRU age.

If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point
approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat
statistics. This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone
and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference
that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the
history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be
reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

The order-0 allocation for normal zone failed while there are a lot of
reclaimable memory(i.e., anonymous memory with free swap). I wanted to
analyze the problem but it was hard because we removed per-zone lru stat
so I couldn't know how many of anonymous memory there are in normal/dma
zone.
When we investigate OOM problem, reclaimable memory count is crucial
stat to find a problem. Without it, it's hard to parse the OOM message
so I believe we should keep it.
With per-zone lru stat,

With node-lru, the locking is based on the pgdat. As Minchan pointed
out, there is an opportunity to reduce LRU lock release/acquire in

LRU list contents and counts are updated separately. Counts are updated
before pages are added to the LRU and updated after pages are removed.
The warning above is from a check in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size that
ensures that list sizes of zero are empty.
The problem is that node-lru needs to account for highmem pages if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. One impact of the implementation is that the
sizes are updated in multiple passes when pages from multiple zones were
isolated. This happens whether HIGHMEM is set or not. When multiple
zones are isolated, it's possible for a debugging check in memcg to be
tripped.
This patch forces all the zone counts to be updated before the memcg
function is called.

The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be
accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry
logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on
per-zone stats.
Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in
__alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit
03668b3ceb0c ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations"). The
exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot
fail. If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem
allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact.
This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations
in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. This is not ideal
but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives. The impact
it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the
OOM killer.
As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy
compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained
allocations.
In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when
deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation. While
it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will
not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.
The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages. As
those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in
highmem. This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone
stats as it is sufficient.
In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to
be removed.

The vmstat allocstall was fairly useful in the general sense but
node-based LRUs change that. It's important to know if a stall was for
an address-limited allocation request as this will require skipping
pages from other zones. This patch adds pgstall_* counters to replace
allocstall. The sum of the counters will equal the old allocstall so it
can be trivially recalculated. A high number of address-limited
allocation requests may result in a lot of useless LRU scanning for
suitable pages.
As address-limited allocations require pages to be skipped, it's
important to know how much useless LRU scanning took place so this patch
adds pgskip* counters. This yields the following model
1. The number of address-space limited stalls can be accounted for (pgstall)
2. The amount of useless work required to reclaim the data is accounted (pgskip)
3. The total number of scans is available from pgscan_kswapd and pgscan_direct
so from that the ratio of useful to useless scans can be calculated.

This is convenient when tracking down why the skip count is high because
it'll show what classzone kswapd woke up at and what zones are being
isolated.

buffer_heads_over_limit
The buffer_heads_over_limit limit in kswapd is inconsistent with direct
reclaim behaviour. It may force an an attempt to reclaim from all zones
and then not reclaim at all because higher zones were balanced than
required by the original request.
This patch will causes kswapd to consider reclaiming from all zones if
buffer_heads_over_limit. However, if there are eligible zones for the
allocation request that woke kswapd then no reclaim will occur even if
buffer_heads_over_limit. This avoids kswapd over-reclaiming just
because buffer_heads_over_limit.

As pointed out by Minchan Kim, the first call to prepare_kswapd_sleep()
always passes in 0 for `remaining' and the second call can trivially
check the parameter in advance.

The scan_control structure has enough information available for
compaction_ready() to make a decision. The classzone_idx manipulations
in shrink_zones() are no longer necessary as the highest populated zone
is no longer used to determine if shrink_slab should be called or not.

As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be
node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple
times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching
all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to
userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be
similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also
limited to lower zones.
