Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3.
The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to
change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache
functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days,
the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To
support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate
header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to

mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying

$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.
In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.
From Dave Hansen:
"for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
*contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
fragmentation.
The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.
The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it. That makes it a little harder to change.

The way how the code is constructed means, however, that we prefer to go
and hit the OOM killer before we fall back to the vmalloc for requests
<=32kB (with 4kB pages) in the current code. This is rather disruptive

the effect of this patch is that requests which fit into 32kB will fall

treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

initramfs: use vfs_stat/lstat directly
sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user
space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user
format, which is not needed for in-kernel users.
Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend
it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes.
This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out
of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in
the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and
sys_stat64 with vfs_stat.

initramfs: provide a way to ignore image provided by bootloader
Many "embedded" architectures provide CMDLINE_FORCE to allow the kernel
to override the command line provided by an inflexible bootloader.
However there is currrently no way for the kernel to override the
initramfs image provided by the bootloader meaning there are still ways
for bootloaders to make things difficult for us.
Fix this by introducing INITRAMFS_FORCE which can prevent the kernel
from loading the bootloader supplied image.
We use CMDLINE_FORCE (and its friend CMDLINE_EXTEND) to imply that the
system has an inflexible bootloader. This allow us to avoid presenting
this config option to users of systems where inflexible bootloaders
aren't usually a problem.

powerpc/fadump: reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump memory reservation
fadump supports specifying memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel
with fadump_reserve_mem kernel parameter. This parameter currently
supports passing a fixed memory size, like fadump_reserve_mem=<size>
only. This patch aims to add support for other syntaxes like
range-based memory size
<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,<range3>:<size3>,...] which allows
using the same parameter to boot the kernel with different system RAM
sizes.
As crashkernel parameter already supports the above mentioned syntaxes,
this patch deprecates fadump_reserve_mem parameter and reuses
crashkernel parameter instead, to specify memory for fadump's crash
kernel memory reservation as well. If any offset is provided in
crashkernel parameter, it will be ignored in case of fadump, as fadump
reserves memory at end of RAM.
Advantages using crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem
parameter are one less kernel parameter overall, code reuse and support
for multiple syntaxes to specify memory.

Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some

support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such

This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel

The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo

second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()

in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving
memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This
has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports,

But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel

CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config,
allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no
functional change with this patch.

checkpatch: improve the SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test
The current SUSPECT_CODE_INDENT test does not recognize several
defective code style defects where code following a logical test is
inappropriately indented.
Before this patch, for code like:

checkpatch would not emit a warning.
Improve the test to warn when code after a logical test has the same
indentation as the logical test.
Perform the same indentation test for "else" blocks too.

checkpatch: add --typedefsfile
When using checkpatch on out-of-tree code, it may occur that some
project-specific types are used, which will cause spurious warnings.
Add the --typedefsfile option as a way to extend the known types and
deal with this issue.
This was developed for OP-TEE [1]. We run a Travis job on all pull
requests [2], and checkpatch is part of that. The typical false warning
we get on a regular basis is with some pointers to functions returning
TEE_Result [3], which is a typedef from the GlobalPlatform APIs. We
consider it is acceptable to use GP types in the OP-TEE core
implementation, that's why this patch would be helpful for us.

For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state

In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should

mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for
allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when
possible.
Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable
allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and
terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that
the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block. Instead there might
be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the
next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase
long-term fragmentation.
To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination
criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even
though the high-order page already exists. Note that it might be
possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to
parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that.
This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is
limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in
a migratetype fallback. (Async compaction also eagerly skips
order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of
migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.)
As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be
reduced.
In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 20%. The number

mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype
The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to
MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce
latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are
unlikely to contain movable pages.
However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are
not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the
chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE
pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse.
This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct
compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the
requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such
pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the
allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need
for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore
this restriction.
In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by
12%.

mm, page_alloc: count movable pages when stealing from pageblock
When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count
how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype
if more than half of the pageblock was free. This might be too
conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were
allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested.
While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely
(at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count
pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are
either on LRU or __PageMovable(). The rest can be assumed to be
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily
distinguish. This counting can be done as part of free page stealing
with little additional overhead.
The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus
pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change
pageblock's migratetype.
The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the
actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied
pageblocks. This should help the efficiency of page grouping by
mobility.
In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 47%. The number of movable allocations falling back to other
pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent
fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive. Later patches also
offset the movable fallback increase to some extent.

mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback
The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of
requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one.
There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce
permanent fragmentation. The main one is to try stealing from a
pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at
once and convert the whole pageblock. Precise searching for such
pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free
lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block
with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages
in total.
Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also
pages of lower orders from the same block. But then we still split the
highest order page. This is wasteful and can contribute to
fragmentation instead of avoiding it.
This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s)
and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only
report whether it was successful. Then we pick (and eventually split)
the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest(). This all happens under
zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process. This should
reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks. At worst we are only stealing a
single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between
lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that
should not be a concern. As a side benefit the patch removes some
duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

mm, compaction: remove redundant watermark check in compact_finished()
When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order
page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own
search for a suitable page in the freelists. This is not ideal for two
reasons:
- The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a
less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste
of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark
check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages.
- The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages.
Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing
because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and
it terminates.
This patch therefore removes the watermark check. This should save some
cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

mm, compaction: reorder fields in struct compact_control
Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3.
Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility
grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with
some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling
back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation.
The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone
balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed
wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory. There were 5 repeats
of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats
below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me).
Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order
used, so I'm not including them.

patches separately)

Compaction cost 10243 10578 10304 8286 8398 9440
Compaction stats are mostly within noise until patch 4, which decreases
the number of compactions, and migrations. Part of that could be due to
more pageblocks marked as unmovable, and async compaction skipping
those. This changes a bit with patch 7, but not so much. Patch 8
increases free scanner stats and migrations, which comes from the
changed termination criteria. Interestingly number of compactions
decreases - probably the fully compacted pageblock satisfies multiple
subsequent allocations, so it amortizes.
Next comes the extfrag tracepoint, where "fragmenting" means that an
allocation had to fallback to a pageblock of another migratetype which
wasn't fully free (which is almost all of the fallbacks). I have
locally added another tracepoint for "Page steal" into
steal_suitable_fallback() which triggers in situations where we are
allowed to do move_freepages_block(). If we decide to also do
set_pageblock_migratetype(), it's "Pages steal with pageblock" with
break down for which allocation migratetype we are stealing and from
which fallback migratetype. The last part "due to counting" comes from
patch 4 and counts the events where the counting of movable pages
allowed us to change pageblock's migratetype, while the number of free
pages alone wouldn't be enough to cross the threshold.

What we can see is that "Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable" and "...
placed with movable" drops with almost each patch, which is good as we
are polluting less movable pageblocks with unmovable pages.
The most significant change is patch 4 with movable page counting. On
the other hand it increases "Extfrag fragmenting for movable" by 50%.
"Pages steal" drops though, so these movable allocation fallbacks find
only small free pages and are not allowed to steal whole pageblocks
back. "Pages steal with pageblock" raises, because the patch increases
the chances of pageblock migratetype changes to happen. This affects
all migratetypes.
The summary is that patch 4 is not a clear win wrt these stats, but I
believe that the tradeoff it makes is a good one. There's less
pollution of movable pageblocks by unmovable allocations. There's less
stealing between pageblock, and those that remain have higher chance of
changing migratetype also the pageblock itself, so it should more
faithfully reflect the migratetype of the pages within the pageblock.
The increase of movable allocations falling back to unmovable pageblock
might look dramatic, but those allocations can be migrated by compaction
when needed, and other patches in the series (7-9) improve that aspect.
Patches 7 and 8 continue the trend of reduced unmovable fallbacks and
also reduce the impact on movable fallbacks from patch 4.

initramfs: avoid "label at end of compound statement" error
Commit
17a9be317475 ("initramfs: Always do fput() and load modules after
rootfs populate") introduced an error for the
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
case, because even though the code looks fine, the compiler really wants
a statement after a label, or you'll get complaints:
init/initramfs.c: In function 'populate_rootfs':
init/initramfs.c:644:2: error: label at end of compound statement
That commit moved the subsequent statements to outside the compound
statement, leaving the label without any associated statements.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
notification from the kbuild robot.
Change summary:
- Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
namespace modes or state.
This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
devices.
- Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
memory support.
- 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
(asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
-stable.
- ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

- Andreas also wrote a patch to revert a patch in the evict path that
caused occasional deadlocks, and is no longer needed.
- Andrew Price wrote a patch to re-enable fallocate for the rindex
system file to enable gfs2_grow to grow properly on secondary file
system grow operations.
- I wrote a patch to initialize an inode number field to make certain
kernel trace points more understandable.
- I also wrote a patch that makes GFS2 file system "withdraw" work
more like it should by ignoring operations after a withdraw that
would formerly cause a BUG() and kernel panic.
- I also reworked the entire truncate/delete algorithm, scrapping the
old recursive algorithm in favor of a new non-recursive algorithm.
This was done for performance: This way, GFS2 no longer needs to
lock multiple resource groups while doing truncates and deletes of
files that cross multiple resource group boundaries, allowing for
better parallelism. It also solves a problem whereby deleting large
files would request a large chunk of kernel memory, which resulted
in a get_page_from_freelist warning.
- Due to a regression found during testing, I added a new patch to
correct 'GFS2: Prevent BUG from occurring when normal Withdraws
occur'."

GFS2: Allow glocks to be unlocked after withdraw
This bug fixes a regression introduced by patch
0d1c7ae9d8.
The intent of the patch was to stop promoting glocks after a
file system is withdrawn due to a variety of errors, because doing
so results in a BUG(). (You should be able to unmount after a
withdraw rather than having the kernel panic.)
Unfortunately, it also stopped demotions, so glocks could not be
unlocked after withdraw, which means the unmount would hang.
This patch allows function do_xmote to demote locks to an
unlocked state after a withdraw, but not promote them.

- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
aid debugging and robustness.

arm64: Fix the DMA mmap and get_sgtable API with DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS
While honouring the DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS on arm64 (commit
44176bb38fa4: "arm64: Add support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS to
IOMMU"), the existing uses of dma_mmap_attrs() and dma_get_sgtable()
have been broken by passing a physically contiguous vm_struct with an
invalid pages pointer through the common iommu API.
Since the coherent allocation with DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS uses CMA,
this patch simply reuses the existing swiotlb logic for mmap and
get_sgtable.
Note that the current implementation of get_sgtable (both swiotlb and
iommu) is broken if dma_declare_coherent_memory() is used since such
memory does not have a corresponding struct page. To be addressed in a
subsequent patch.

initramfs: Always do fput() and load modules after rootfs populate
In OpenRISC we do not have a bootloader passed initrd, but the built in
initramfs does contain the /init and other binaries, including modules.
The previous commit
08865514805d2 ("initramfs: finish fput() before
accessing any binary from initramfs") made a change to only call fput()
if the bootloader initrd was available, this caused intermittent crashes
for OpenRISC.
This patch changes the fput() to happen unconditionally if any rootfs is
loaded. Also, I added some comments to make it a bit more clear why we
call unpack_to_rootfs() multiple times.

658922e57b84 "libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing"
we arranged for the capacity to be allocated, but failed to also update
the 'npfns' parameter. This leads to cases where there is enough
capacity reserved to hold all the allocated sections, but
vmemmap_populate_hugepages() still encounters -ENOMEM from
altmap_alloc_block_buf().
This fix is a stop-gap until we can teach the core memory hotplug
implementation to permit sub-section hotplug.
