In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the
SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map),
which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail.
That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching
for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which
this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%.
But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown.
Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely
redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong.

Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU
do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it.
The following can be used as a test program:
int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;}
Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by
fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of
memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size
and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the
allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

Isolators putting a page back to the LRU do not hold the page lock, and if
the page is mlocked, another thread might munlock it concurrently.
Expecting this, the putback code re-checks the evictability of a page when
it just moved it to the unevictable list in order to correct its decision.
The problem, however, is that ordering is not garuanteed between setting
PG_lru when moving the page to the list and checking PG_mlocked
afterwards:
#0: #1
spin_lock()
if (TestClearPageMlocked())
if (PageLRU())
move to evictable list
SetPageLRU()
spin_unlock()
if (!PageMlocked())
move to evictable list
The PageMlocked() check may get reordered before SetPageLRU() in #0,
resulting in #0 not moving the still mlocked page, and in #1 failing to
isolate and move the page as well. The page is now stranded on the
unevictable list.
The race condition is very unlikely. The consequence currently is one
page falling off the reclaim grid and eventually getting freed with
PG_unevictable set, which triggers a warning in the page allocator.
TestClearPageMlocked() in #1 already provides full memory barrier
semantics.
This patch adds an explicit full barrier to force ordering between
SetPageLRU() and PageMlocked() so that either one of the competitors
rescues the page.

mm: oom analysis: add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()
show_free_areas() is called during page allocation failures, and page
allocation failures can occur in any calling context.
But nr_blockdev_pages() takes VFS locks which should not be taken from
hard IRQ context (at least). The result is lockdep warnings (and
deadlockability) during page allocation failures.

We could fix it for 2.6.32 at the KSM end, by putting a dummy anon_vma

Right now we have some trouble with non atomic access
to page flags when locking the page. To plug this hole
for now, limit error recovery to LRU pages for now.
This could be better fixed by defining a suitable protocol,
but let's go this simple way for now
This avoids unnecessary races with __set_page_locked() and
__SetPageSlab*() and maybe more non-atomic page flag operations.
This loses isolated pages which are currently in page reclaim, but these
are relatively limited compared to the total memory.

It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked

There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.
If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

mm, perf_event: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA
perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing
When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
D-caches which can have aliases.
Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace
and vice versa.
If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is
shared of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED
will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with
D-cache aliasing matters.
The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific
alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node(). All
existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior.
vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment.
As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other
vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems.

Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).
There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not
enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE.

This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path.
Problems:
Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at
charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg
goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when
memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg
management, ancesotors should be taken care of.
Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge().
This is not good.
Prolems:
1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad.
It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose.
2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug.
Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should
take care of them.
3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case.
ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better.
Fixes:
* Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge.
Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them.
* make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge.
(per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway)
* All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because
ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be
checked at the same time.

While testing Swap over NFS patchset, I noticed an oops that was triggered
during swapon. Investigating further, the NULL pointer deference is due to the
SSD device check/optimization in the swapon code that assumes s_bdev could never
be NULL.
inode->i_sb->s_bdev could be NULL in a few cases. For e.g. one such case is
loopback NFS mount, there could be others as well. Fix this by ensuring s_bdev
is not NULL before we try to deference s_bdev.

the parameters. As the macro still puts separate BUG() for each
check, it won't lose any information even on the situations where only
the program counter can be retrieved.
While at it, also bump pcpu_dump_alloc_info() message to KERN_INFO so
that it's visible on the console if boot fails to complete.

Embedding first chunk allocator maintains the distances between units
in the vmalloc area and thus needs vmalloc space to be larger than the
maximum distances between units; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to
create any dynamic chunks. This patch makes the embedding first chunk
allocator check vmalloc space size and if the maximum distance between
units is larger than 75% of it, print warning and, if page mapping
allocator is available, fail initialization so that the system falls
back onto it.
This should work around percpu allocation failure problems on certain
sparc64 configurations where distances between NUMA nodes are larger
than the vmalloc area and makes percpu allocator more robust for
future configurations.

pcpu_build_alloc_info() may be called multiple times when percpu is
falling back to different first chunk allocator. Make it clear static
buffers so that they don't contain values from previous runs.

pcpu_setup_first_chunk() incorrectly used NR_CPUS as the impossible
unit number while unit number can equal and go over NR_CPUS with
sparse unit map. This triggers BUG_ON() spuriously on machines which
have non-power-of-two number of cpus. Use UINT_MAX instead.

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const
* mark vm_ops in AGP code
But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.

Because due to the hwpoison page flag we ran out of page

Dont turn on hwpoison on 32-bit NUMA (it's rare in any

Also clean up the Kconfig dependencies in the generic MM

Sometimes we only want to write pages from a specific super_block,
so allow that to be passed in.
This fixes a problem with commit 56a131dcf7
causing writeback on all super_blocks on a bdi, where we only really
want to sync a specific sb from writeback_inodes_sb().
