The function is called from __meminit context and calls other __meminit
functions but isn't it self mark as such today:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x4516): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_reserved_page() to the function .meminit.text:early_pfn_to_nid()
The function init_reserved_page() references the function __meminit early_pfn_to_nid().
This is often because init_reserved_page lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of early_pfn_to_nid is wrong.
On most compilers, we don't notice this because the function gets
inlined all the time. Adding __meminit here fixes the harmless warning
for the old versions and is generally the correct annotation.

Andrea brought to my attention that the L->{L,S} guarantees are
completely bogus for this case. I was looking at the diagram, from the
offending commit, when that _is_ the race, we had the load reordered
already.
What we need is at least S->L semantics, thus simply use
wq_has_sleeper() to serialize the call for good.

The problem is very similar to the one fixed by commit a459eeb7b8
("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks inside the
allocator"). We are taking hotplug locks while we can be sitting on top
of basically arbitrary locks. This just calls for problems.
We can get rid of {get,put}_online_cpus, fortunately. We do not have to
be worried about races with memory hotplug because drain_local_stock,
which is called from both the WQ draining and the memory hotplug
contexts, is always operating on the local cpu stock with IRQs disabled.
The only thing to be careful about is that the target memcg doesn't
vanish while we are still in drain_all_stock so take a reference on it.

Andrea has noticed that the oom_reaper doesn't invalidate the range via
mmu notifiers (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end) and that can
corrupt the memory of the kvm guest for example.
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly already invokes mmu notifiers but that is not
sufficient as per Andrea:
"mmu_notifier_invalidate_range cannot be used in replacement of
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end. For KVM
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range is a noop and rightfully so. A MMU
notifier implementation has to implement either ->invalidate_range
method or the invalidate_range_start/end methods, not both. And if you
implement invalidate_range_start/end like KVM is forced to do, calling
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in common code is a noop for KVM.
For those MMU notifiers that can get away only implementing
->invalidate_range, the ->invalidate_range is implicitly called by
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(). And only those secondary MMUs
that share the same pagetable with the primary MMU (like AMD iommuv2)
can get away only implementing ->invalidate_range"
As the callback is allowed to sleep and the implementation is out of
hand of the MM it is safer to simply bail out if there is an mmu
notifier registered. In order to not fail too early make the
mm_has_notifiers check under the oom_lock and have a little nap before
failing to give the current oom victim some more time to exit.

The iterator functions pcpu_next_md_free_region and
pcpu_next_fit_region use the block offset to determine if they have
checked the area in the prior iteration. However, this causes an issue
when the block offset is greater than subsequent block contig hints. If
within the iterator it moves to check subsequent blocks, it may fail in
the second predicate due to the block offset not being cleared. Thus,
this causes the allocator to skip over blocks leading to false failures
when allocating from the reserved chunk. While this happens in the
general case as well, it will only fail if it cannot allocate a new
chunk.
This patch resets the block offset to 0 to pass the second predicate
when checking subseqent blocks within the iterator function.

Currently when mixing buffered reads and asynchronous direct writes it
is possible to end up with the situation where we have stale data in the
page cache while the new data is already written to disk. This is
permanent until the affected pages are flushed away. Despite the fact
that mixing buffered and direct IO is ill-advised it does pose a thread
for a data integrity, is unexpected and should be fixed.
Fix this by deferring completion of asynchronous direct writes to a
process context in the case that there are mapped pages to be found in
the inode. Later before the completion in dio_complete() invalidate
the pages in question. This ensures that after the completion the pages
in the written area are either unmapped, or populated with up-to-date
data. Also do the same for the iomap case which uses
iomap_dio_complete() instead.
This has a side effect of deferring the completion to a process context
for every AIO DIO that happens on inode that has pages mapped. However
since the consensus is that this is ill-advised practice the performance
implication should not be a problem.
This was based on proposal from Jeff Moyer, thanks!

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.
Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:
1)
kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));
"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

The fadvise() manpage is silent on fadvise()'s effect on memory-based
filesystems (shmem, hugetlbfs & ramfs) and pseudo file systems (procfs,
sysfs, kernfs). The current implementaion of fadvise is mostly a noop
for such filesystems except for FADV_DONTNEED which will trigger
expensive remote LRU cache draining. This patch makes the noop of
fadvise() on such file systems very explicit.
However this change has two side effects for ramfs and one for tmpfs.
First fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) could remove the unmapped clean zero'ed
pages of ramfs (allocated through read, readahead & read fault) and
tmpfs (allocated through read fault). Also fadvise(FADV_WILLNEED) could
create such clean zero'ed pages for ramfs. This change removes those
possibilities.
One of our generic libraries does fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED). Recently we
observed high latency in fadvise() and noticed that the users have
started using tmpfs files and the latency was due to expensive remote
LRU cache draining. For normal tmpfs files (have data written on them),
fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) will always trigger the unneeded remote cache
draining.

There is significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters
(NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page
allocation (suggested by Dave Hansen).
This patch updates NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2,
as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global
counter from local per cpu counter(suggested by Ying Huang).
The rationality is that these statistics counters don't affect the
kernel's decision, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem to use
a large threshold.
With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369) for per

consumed. This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone
counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded
page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen).
A link to the MM summit slides:
http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf
To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from
zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed
size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update
frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by
Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't
need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem
to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive.
With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see
below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style
of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only
move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch
for details).
I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently
using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based
server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold
of pcp counter.

This patch (of 3):
In this patch, NUMA statistics is separated from zone statistics
framework, all the call sites of NUMA stats are changed to use
numa-stats-specific functions, it does not have any functionality change
except that the number of NUMA stats is shown behind zone page stats
when users *read* the zone info.
E.g. cat /proc/zoneinfo

Introduce a new migration mode that allow to offload the copy to a device
DMA engine. This changes the workflow of migration and not all
address_space migratepage callback can support this.
This is intended to be use by migrate_vma() which itself is use for thing
like HMM (see include/linux/hmm.h).
No additional per-filesystem migratepage testing is needed. I disables
MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in all problematic migratepage() callback and i
added comment in those to explain why (part of this patch). The commit
message is unclear it should say that any callback that wish to support
this new mode need to be aware of the difference in the migration flow
from other mode.
Some of these callbacks do extra locking while copying (aio, zsmalloc,
balloon, ...) and for DMA to be effective you want to copy multiple
pages in one DMA operations. But in the problematic case you can not
easily hold the extra lock accross multiple call to this callback.
Usual flow is:
For each page {
1 - lock page
2 - call migratepage() callback
3 - (extra locking in some migratepage() callback)
4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
head, ...)
5 - copy page
6 - (unlock any extra lock of migratepage() callback)
7 - return from migratepage() callback
8 - unlock page
}
The new mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY:
1 - lock multiple pages
For each page {
2 - call migratepage() callback
3 - abort in all problematic migratepage() callback
4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
head, ...)
} // finished all calls to migratepage() callback
5 - DMA copy multiple pages
6 - unlock all the pages
To support MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in the problematic case we would need a
new callback migratepages() (for instance) that deals with multiple
pages in one transaction.
Because the problematic cases are not important for current usage I did
not wanted to complexify this patchset even more for no good reason.
