Currently, nobody wants to turn UNEVICTABLE_LRU off. Thus this
configurability is unnecessary.

Solve two problems.
Whenever memory hotplug sucessfully happens, zone->present_pages
have to be changed.
1) Now memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmark_min only when
online_pages called, not offline_pages.
It breaks balance.
2) If zone->present_pages is changed, we also have to change
zone->inactive_ratio. That's because inactive_ratio depends on
zone->present_pages.

Factor the per-zone arithemetic inside setup_per_zone_inactive_ratio()'s
loop into a a separate function, calculate_zone_inactive_ratio(). This
function will be used in a later patch

Change the names of two functions. It doesn't affect behavior.
Presently, setup_per_zone_pages_min() changes low, high of zone as well as
min. So a better name is setup_per_zone_wmarks(). That's because Mel
changed zone->pages_[hig/low/min] to zone->watermark array in "page
allocator: replace the watermark-related union in struct zone with a
watermark[] array".
* setup_per_zone_pages_min => setup_per_zone_wmarks
Of course, we have to change init_per_zone_pages_min, too. There are not
pages_min any more.
* init_per_zone_pages_min => init_per_zone_wmark_min

in flags passed to the page allocator
This simplifies the code in gfp_zone() and also keeps the ability of the
compiler to use constant folding to get rid of gfp_zone processing.
The lookup of the zone is done using a bitfield stored in an integer. So
the code in gfp_zone is a simple extraction of bits from a constant
bitfield. The compiler is generating a load of a constant into a register
and then performs a shift and mask operation to get the zone from a gfp_t.
No cachelines are touched and no branches have to be predicted by the
compiler.
We are doing some macro tricks here to convince the compiler to always do
the constant folding if possible.

If you're using a non-highmem architecture, passing an argument with the
wrong type to kunmap() doesn't give you a warning because the ifdef
doesn't check the type.

shrink_zone() can deactivate active anon pages even if we don't have a
swap device. Many embedded products don't have a swap device. So the
deactivation of anon pages is unnecessary.
This patch prevents unnecessary deactivation of anon lru pages. But, it
don't prevent aging of anon pages to swap out.

migrate_prep() is fairly expensive (72us on 16-core barcelona 1.9GHz).
Commit 3140a2273009c01c27d316f35ab76a37e105fdd8 improved move_pages()
throughput by breaking it into chunks, but it also made migrate_prep() be
called once per chunk (every 128pages or so) instead of once per
move_pages().
This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did
before 2.6.29. It is also a followup to commit
0aedadf91a70a11c4a3e7c7d99b21e5528af8d5d ("mm: move migrate_prep out from
under mmap_sem").
This improves migration throughput on the above machine from 600MB/s to
750MB/s.

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory:
* Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend.
* Free pages are almost exhausted.
* Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate
some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or
equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
* __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the
OOM killer.
* The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so
it doesn't die immediately.
* __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries
to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer.
* No progress can be made.
Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory
shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically
possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been
removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are
going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even
more likely to happen during hibernation.
To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch
that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in
which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set
this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

The posix_madvise() function succeeds (and does nothing) when called with
parameters (NULL, 0, -1); according to LSB tests, it should fail with
EINVAL because -1 is not a valid flag.
When called with a valid address and size, it correctly fails.
So perform an initial check for valid flags first.

__GFP_NOFAIL is a bad fiction. Allocations _can_ fail, and callers should
detect and suitably handle this (and not by lamely moving the infinite
loop up to the caller level either).
Attempting to use __GFP_NOFAIL for a higher-order allocation is even
worse, so add a once-off runtime check for this to slap people around for
even thinking about trying it.

Since videobuf-dma-contig is designed to handle physically contiguous
memory, this patch modifies the videobuf-dma-contig code to only accept a
user space pointer to physically contiguous memory. For now only
VM_PFNMAP vmas are supported, so forget hotplug.
On SuperH Mobile we use this with our sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver together
with various multimedia accelerator blocks that are exported to user space
using UIO. The UIO kernel code exports physically contiguous memory to
user space and lets the user space application mmap() this memory and pass
a pointer using the USERPTR interface for V4L2 zero copy operation.
With this approach we support zero copy capture, hardware scaling and
various forms of hardware encoding and decoding.

The lru->nr_saved_scan's are not meaningful counters for even kernel
developers. They typically are smaller than 32 and are always 0 for large
lists. So remove them from /proc/zoneinfo.
Hopefully this interface change won't break too many scripts.
/proc/zoneinfo is too unstructured to be script friendly, and I wonder the
affected scripts - if there are any - are still bleeding since the not
long ago commit "vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets", which
also touched the "scanned" line :)
If we are to re-export accumulated vmscan counts in the future, they can
go to new lines in /proc/zoneinfo instead of the current form, or to
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo?

When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those
pages first, before considering evicting other pages.
This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems
because only three things can happen to an inactive file page:
1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list
2) evicted by the pageout code
3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted
The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or
allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO,
this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the
normal pageout pattern.

PG_slob_free = PG_private
PG_slub_frozen = PG_active
PG_slub_debug = PG_error
PG_readahead = PG_reclaim
and mask out obscure flags except in -raw mode:
PG_reserved
PG_mlocked
PG_mappedtodisk
PG_private
PG_private_2
PG_owner_priv_1
PG_arch_1
PG_uncached

32-39. more obscure flags for kernel developers
(*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables

Callers may speculatively call different allocators in order of preference
trying to allocate a buffer of a given size. The order needed to allocate
this may be larger than what the page allocator can normally handle.
While the allocator mostly does the right thing, it should not direct
reclaim or wakeup kswapd with a bogus order. This patch sanity checks the
order in the slow path and returns NULL if it is too large.

fast paths
num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the
page allocator when deciding whether the zonelist needs to be filtered
based on cpusets or the zonelist cache. This is actually a heavy function
and touches a number of cache lines.
This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the
value when nodes get onlined and offlined. The value is then used in a
number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().

Local interrupts are disabled when freeing pages to the PCP list. Part of
that free checks what the migratetype of the pageblock the page is in but
it checks this with interrupts disabled and interupts should never be
disabled longer than necessary. This patch checks the pagetype with
interrupts enabled with the impact that it is possible a page is freed to
the wrong list when a pageblock changes type. As that block is now
already considered mixed from an anti-fragmentation perspective, it's not
of vital importance.

When pages are being freed to the buddy allocator, the zone NR_FREE_PAGES
counter must be updated. In the case of bulk per-cpu page freeing, it's
updated once per page. This retouches cache lines more than necessary.

ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, ALLOC_WMARK_LOW and ALLOC_WMARK_HIGH determin whether
pages_min, pages_low or pages_high is used as the zone watermark when
allocating the pages. Two branches in the allocator hotpath determine
which watermark to use.
This patch uses the flags as an array index into a watermark array that is
indexed with WMARK_* defines accessed via helpers. All call sites that
use zone->pages_* are updated to use the helpers for accessing the values
and the array offsets for setting.

sanity checks
A number of sanity checks are made on each page allocation and free
including that the page count is zero. page_count() checks for compound
pages and checks the count of the head page if true. However, in these
paths, we do not care if the page is compound or not as the count of each
tail page should also be zero.
This patch makes two changes to the use of page_count() in the free path.
It converts one check of page_count() to a VM_BUG_ON() as the count should
have been unconditionally checked earlier in the free path. It also
avoids checking for compound pages.

There is a zonelist cache which is used to track zones that are not in the
allowed cpuset or found to be recently full. This is to reduce cache
footprint on large machines. On smaller machines, it just incurs cost for
no gain. This patch only uses the zonelist cache when there are NUMA
nodes.

free_page_mlock() tests and clears PG_mlocked using locked versions of the
bit operations. If set, it disables interrupts to update counters and
this happens on every page free even though interrupts are disabled very
shortly afterwards a second time. This is wasteful.
This patch splits what free_page_mlock() does. The bit check is still
made. However, the update of counters is delayed until the interrupts are
disabled and the non-lock version for clearing the bit is used. One
potential weirdness with this split is that the counters do not get
updated if the bad_page() check is triggered but a system showing bad
pages is getting screwed already.

get_pageblock_migratetype() is potentially called twice for every page
free. Once, when being freed to the pcp lists and once when being freed
back to buddy. When freeing from the pcp lists, it is known what the
pageblock type was at the time of free so use it rather than rechecking.
In low memory situations under memory pressure, this might skew
anti-fragmentation slightly but the interference is minimal and decisions
that are fragmenting memory are being made anyway.

Factor out the mapping between GFP and alloc_flags only once. Once
factored out, it only needs to be calculated once but some care must be
taken.
[neilb@suse.de says]
As the test:
- if (((p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) || unlikely(test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE)))
- && !in_interrupt()) {
- if (!(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) {
has been replaced with a slightly weaker one:
+ if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS) {
Without care, this would allow recursion into the allocator via direct
reclaim. This patch ensures we do not recurse when PF_MEMALLOC is set but
TF_MEMDIE callers are now allowed to directly reclaim where they would
have been prevented in the past.

Part of this calculates the preferred_zone which is the first usable zone
in the zonelist but the zone depends on the GFP flags specified at the
beginning of the allocation call. This patch calculates preferred_zone
once. It's safe to do this because if preferred_zone is NULL at the start
of the call, no amount of direct reclaim or other actions will change the
fact the allocation will fail.

On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as there is
nothing it can do and it would just incur overhead shuffling pages between
lists constantly. Currently the check is made in the free page fast path
for every page. This patch moves it to a slow path. On machines with low
memory, there will be small amount of additional overhead as pages get
shuffled between lists but it should quickly settle.

The core of the page allocator is one giant function which allocates
memory on the stack and makes calculations that may not be needed for
every allocation. This patch breaks up the allocator path into fast and
slow paths for clarity. Note the slow paths are still inlined but the
entry is marked unlikely. If they were not inlined, it actally increases
text size to generate the as there is only one call site.

It is possible with __GFP_THISNODE that no zones are suitable. This patch
makes sure the check is only made once.

valid
Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean
"allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in
fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and
branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid
with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then
converted.
