Add code to check sizes of on-disk data of metadata files such as inode
size, segment usage size, DAT entry size, and checkpoint size. Although
these sizes are read from disk, the current implementation doesn't check
them.
If these sizes are not sane on disk, it can cause out-of-range access to
metadata or memory access overrun on metadata block buffers due to
overflow in sundry calculations.
Both lower limit and upper limit of metadata sizes are verified to
prevent these issues.

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.
This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.
If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation. In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.
This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment. It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight
device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may
have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight
device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. The backlight driver
should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the
associated framebuffers.
This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage
to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two
properties should be updated or not. To be more specific, only one
unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the
backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a
certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because
the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a
blanked framebuffer.

Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics. The
point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute
(UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies
it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what
fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take. There
are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into
account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g. rtnl_mutex,
net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock.
Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to
execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously
with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag.
Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent
to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used
to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and
automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race. However, there was a
deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the
slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported
to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent.
Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the
slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed
to find this out or reproduce the issue.
BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use
UMH_NO_WAIT. Previous one was made by commit f520360d93 ("kobject:
don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed
arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in
05f54c13cd ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").
It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.
If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.
Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.
Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.
read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that. This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.
read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:
- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().
- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.
- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
returns.
To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().
This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

There is no actual definition of function but include/linux/mm.h has a

- defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP) && !defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID)
linux/mm.h does not define a prototype, but mm/page_alloc.c defines
the function.
Hence, compiler reports the following warning:
mm/page_alloc.c:4300:15: warning: no previous prototype for `__early_pfn_to_nid' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
- defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID)
The architecture defines the function, and linux/mm.h has a

Thus, join the conditions of Case 2 and 3 ie eliminate the ifdef
condition of CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID to eliminate the missing
prototype warning from file mm/page_alloc.c.

Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists. One
list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list
holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list.
The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown
to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently usedbut
ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still
thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for
cache.
This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to
detect working set changes from the inactive list size. By maintaining
a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used
pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently
apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not
just overall eviction speed.
Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed.
When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the
now-empty page cache radix tree slot. On refault, the minimum access
distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page
should be part of the active list or not.
This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of
the inactive list. And it's the foundation to further improve the
protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

shmem mappings already contain exceptional entries where swap slot

To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare
every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other
than pages.
The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return
NULL for page cache holes, just as before. But provide a raw version of
the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to
use it.

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.
It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot". But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.
Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".

Summary:
The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists. One
list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list
holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list.
The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown
to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently used list
"inactive list" and the frequently used list "active list".
Currently, the VM aims for a 1:1 ratio between the lists, which is the
"perfect" trade-off between the ability to *protect* frequently used
pages and the ability to *detect* frequently used pages. This means
that working set changes bigger than half of cache memory go undetected
and thrash indefinitely, whereas working sets bigger than half of cache
memory are unprotected against used-once streams that don't even need
caching.
This happens on file servers and media streaming servers, where the
popular files and file sections change over time. Even though the
individual files might be smaller than half of memory, concurrent access
to many of them may still result in their inter-reference distance being
greater than half of memory. It's also been reported as a problem on
database workloads that switch back and forth between tables that are
bigger than half of memory. In these cases the VM never recognizes the
new working set and will for the remainder of the workload thrash disk
data which could easily live in memory.
Historically, every reclaim scan of the inactive list also took a
smaller number of pages from the tail of the active list and moved them
to the head of the inactive list. This model gave established working
sets more gracetime in the face of temporary use-once streams, but
ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still
thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for
cache.
This series solves the problem by maintaining a history of pages evicted
from the inactive list, enabling the VM to detect frequently used pages
regardless of inactive list size and facilitate working set transitions.
Tests:
The reported database workload is easily demonstrated on a 8G machine
with two filesets a 6G. This fio workload operates on one set first,
then switches to the other. The VM should obviously always cache the
set that the workload is currently using.
This test is based on a problem encountered by Citus Data customers:

user 0m14.714s
sys 0m31.233s
As can be seen, the unpatched kernel simply never adapts to the
workingset change and db2 is stuck indefinitely with secondary storage
speed. The patched kernel needs 2-3 iterations over db2 before it
replaces db1 and reaches full memory speed. Given the unbounded
negative affect of the existing VM behavior, these patches should be
considered correctness fixes rather than performance optimizations.
Another test resembles a fileserver or streaming server workload, where
data in excess of memory size is accessed at different frequencies.
There is very hot data accessed at a high frequency. Machines should be
fitted so that the hot set of such a workload can be fully cached or all
bets are off. Then there is a very big (compared to available memory)
set of data that is used-once or at a very low frequency; this is what
drives the inactive list and does not really benefit from caching.
Lastly, there is a big set of warm data in between that is accessed at
medium frequencies and benefits from caching the pages between the first
and last streamer of each burst.
unpatched:
hot: READ: io=128000MB, aggrb=160693KB/s, minb=160693KB/s, maxb=160693KB/s, mint=815665msec, maxt=815665msec

In both kernels, the hot set is propagated to the active list and then
served from cache.
In both kernels, the beginning of the warm set is propagated to the
active list as well, but in the unpatched case the active list
eventually takes up half of memory and no new pages from the warm set
get activated, despite repeated access, and despite most of the active
list soon being stale. The patched kernel on the other hand detects the
thrashing and manages to keep this cache window rolling through the data
set. This frees up enough IO bandwidth that the cold set is served at
full speed as well and disk utilization even drops by 20%.
For reference, this same test was performed with the traditional
demotion mechanism, where deactivation is coupled to inactive list
reclaim. However, this had the same outcome as the unpatched kernel:
while the warm set does indeed get activated continuously, it is forced
out of the active list by inactive list pressure, which is dictated
primarily by the unrelated cold set. The warm set is evicted before
subsequent streamers can benefit from it, even though there would be
enough space available to cache the pages of interest.
Costs:
Page reclaim used to shrink the radix trees but now the tree nodes are
reused for shadow entries, where the cost depends heavily on the page
cache access patterns. However, with workloads that maintain spatial or
temporal locality, the shadow entries are either refaulted quickly or
reclaimed along with the inode object itself. Workloads that will
experience a memory cost increase are those that don't really benefit
from caching in the first place.
A more predictable alternative would be a fixed-cost separate pool of
shadow entries, but this would incur relatively higher memory cost for
well-behaved workloads at the benefit of cornercases. It would also
make the shadow entry lookup more costly compared to storing them
directly in the cache structure.
Future:
To simplify the merging process, this patch set is implementing thrash
detection on a global per-zone level only for now, but the design is
such that it can be extended to memory cgroups as well. All we need to
do is store the unique cgroup ID along the node and zone identifier
inside the eviction cookie to identify the lruvec.
Right now we have a fixed ratio (50:50) between inactive and active list
but we already have complaints about working sets exceeding half of
memory being pushed out of the cache by simple streaming in the
background. Ultimately, we want to adjust this ratio and allow for a
much smaller inactive list. These patches are an essential step in this
direction because they decouple the VMs ability to detect working set
changes from the inactive list size. This would allow us to base the
inactive list size on the combined readahead window size for example and
potentially protect a much bigger working set.
It's also a big step towards activating pages with a reuse distance
larger than memory, as long as they are the most frequently used pages
in the workload. This will require knowing more about the access
frequency of active pages than what we measure right now, so it's also
deferred in this series.
Another possibility of having thrashing information would be to revisit
the idea of local reclaim in the form of zero-config memory control
groups. Instead of having allocating tasks go straight to global
reclaim, they could try to reclaim the pages in the memcg they are part
of first as long as the group is not thrashing. This would allow a user
to drop e.g. a back-up job in an otherwise unconfigured memcg and it
would only inflate (and possibly do global reclaim) until it has enough
memory to do proper readahead. But once it reaches that point and stops
thrashing it would just recycle its own used-once pages without kicking
out the cache of any other tasks in the system more than necessary.
This patch (of 10):
Fengguang Wu's build testing spotted problems with inc_zone_state() and
dec_zone_state() on UP configurations in out-of-tree patches.
inc_zone_state() is declared but not defined, dec_zone_state() is
missing entirely.
Just like with *_zone_page_state(), they can be defined like their
preemption-unsafe counterparts on UP.

There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes.
Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
mmap_sem (exclusively). This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
concurrently.
To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region
manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.

Currently, to track reserved and allocated regions, we use two different
ways, depending on the mapping. For MAP_SHARED, we use
address_mapping's private_list and, while for MAP_PRIVATE, we use a
resv_map.
Now, we are preparing to change a coarse grained lock which protect a
region structure to fine grained lock, and this difference hinder it.
So, before changing it, unify region structure handling, consistently
using a resv_map regardless of the kind of mapping.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),

"VFIO updates for v3.15 include:
- Allow the vfio-type1 IOMMU to support multiple domains within a
container
- Plumb path to query whether all domains are cache-coherent
- Wire query into kvm-vfio device to avoid KVM x86 WBINVD emulation
- Always select CONFIG_ANON_INODES, vfio depends on it (Arnd)
The first patch also makes the vfio-type1 IOMMU driver completely
independent of the bus_type of the devices it's handling, which
enables it to be used for both vfio-pci and a future vfio-platform
(and hopefully combinations involving both simultaneously)"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.
There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

But there were a few features that were added.
Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers.
Uprobes have support under ftrace and perf.
The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions
in one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top level
buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different function tracing
going on in the sub buffers.

Updates to devicetree core code. This branch contains the following notable changes:
* Add reserved memory binding
* Make struct device_node a kobject and remove legacy /proc/device-tree
* ePAPR conformance fixes
* Update in-kernel DTC copy to version v1.4.0
* Preparation changes for dynamic device tree overlays
* minor bug fixes and documentation changes
The most significant change in this branch is the conversion of struct
device_node to be a kobject that is exposed via sysfs and removal of the
old /proc/device-tree code. This simplifies the device tree handling
code and tightens up the lifecycle on device tree nodes.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.15-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are commits that were not quite ready when I sent the original
pull request for 3.15-rc1 several days ago, but they have spent some
time in linux-next since then and appear to be good to go. All of
them are fixes and cleanups.
Specifics:
- Remaining changes from upstream ACPICA release 20140214 that
introduce code to automatically serialize the execution of methods
creating any named objects which really cannot be executed in
parallel with each other anyway (previously ACPICA attempted to
address that by aborting methods upon conflict detection, but that
wasn't reliable enough and led to other issues). From Bob Moore
and Lv Zheng.
- intel_pstate fix to use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() in
the exit path before freeing the timer structure from Dirk
Brandewie (original patch from Thomas Gleixner).
- cpufreq fix related to system resume from Viresh Kumar.
- Serialization of frequency transitions in cpufreq that involve
PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifications to avoid ordering issues
resulting from race conditions. From Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh
Kumar.
- Revert of an ACPI processor driver change that was based on a
specific interpretation of the ACPI spec which may not be correct
(the relevant part of the spec appears to be incomplete). From
Hanjun Guo.
- Runtime PM core cleanups and documentation updates from Geert
Uytterhoeven.
- PNP core cleanup from Michael Opdenacker"

Pull x86 old platform removal from Peter Anvin:
"This patchset removes support for several completely obsolete
platforms, where the maintainers either have completely vanished or
acked the removal. For some of them it is questionable if there even
exists functional specimens of the hardware"
Geert Uytterhoeven apparently thought this was a April Fool's pull request ;)

x86, platforms: Remove NUMAQ

x86, apic: Remove support for ia32-based Unisys ES7000
Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin:
"Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an
x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the
discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago.
This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with
compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status
of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME.
It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like
compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion)
and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now
called compat_convert_timespec() with that function"
* 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)
Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"
