dax: add tracepoints to dax_iomap_pte_fault()
Patch series "second round of tracepoints for DAX".
This second round of DAX tracepoint patches adds tracing to the PTE
fault path (dax_iomap_pte_fault(), dax_pfn_mkwrite(), dax_load_hole(),
dax_insert_mapping()) and to the writeback path
(dax_writeback_mapping_range(), dax_writeback_one()).
The purpose of this tracing is to give us a high level view of what DAX
is doing, whether faults are being serviced by PMDs or PTEs, and by real
storage or by zero pages covering holes.
I do have some patches nearly ready which also add tracing to
grab_mapping_entry() and dax_insert_mapping_entry(). These are more
targeted at logging how we are interacting with the radix tree, how we
use empty entries for locking, whether we "downgrade" huge zero pages to
4k PTE sized allocations, etc. In the end it seemed to me that this
might be too detailed to have as constantly present tracepoints, but if
anyone sees value in having tracepoints like this in the DAX code
permanently (Jan?), please let me know and I'll add those last two
patches.
All these tracepoints were done to be consistent with the style of the
XFS tracepoints and with the existing DAX PMD tracepoints.
This patch (of 6):
Add tracepoints to dax_iomap_pte_fault(), following the same logging
conventions as the rest of DAX.
Here is an example fault that initially tries to be serviced by the PMD
fault handler but which falls back to PTEs because the VMA isn't large
enough to hold a PMD:

mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC
Patch series "more robust PF_MEMALLOC handling"
This series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which
prevents recursive reclaim. There are some places that clear the flag
unconditionally from current->flags, which may result in clearing a
pre-existing flag. This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1
fixes (without the new helpers, to make backporting easier). Patch 2
introduces the new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers, and converts mm core to use them. Patches 3
and 4 convert non-mm code.
This patch (of 4):
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() sets PF_MEMALLOC to prevent deadlock
during page migration by lock_page() (see the comment in
__unmap_and_move()). Then it unconditionally clears the flag, which can
clear a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and result in recursive reclaim.
This was not a problem until commit a0277328372b ("mm, page_alloc:
restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath"), because direct
compation was called only after direct reclaim, which was skipped when
PF_MEMALLOC flag was set.
Even now it's only a theoretical issue, as the new callsite of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is reached only for costly orders and
when gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() is true, which means either
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC is in gfp_flags or in_interrupt() is true. There is no
such known context, but let's play it safe and make
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() robust for cases where PF_MEMALLOC is
already set.

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.

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

allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing

allocation to vmalloc") for more context. Michael Tsirkin has also
noted:
"__GFP_REPEAT overhead is during allocation time. Using vmalloc means
all accesses are slowed down. Allocation is not on data path, accesses
are."
The similar applies to other vhost_kvzalloc users.
Let's teach kvmalloc_node to handle __GFP_REPEAT properly. There are
two things to be careful about. First we should prevent from the OOM
killer and so have to involve __GFP_NORETRY by default and secondly
override __GFP_REPEAT for !costly order requests as the __GFP_REPEAT is
ignored for !costly orders.
Supporting __GFP_REPEAT like semantic for !costly request is possible it
would require changes in the page allocator. This is out of scope of
this patch.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users
__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by
"mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use
it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't
realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The
function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is
then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not
inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as
callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging
feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given
range belongs to vmalloc as a caller:

mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers
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.
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.

checkpatch: improve the embedded function name test for patch contexts
The current test works only for a single patch context as it is done in
the foreach ($rawlines) loop that precedes the loop where the actual
$context_function variable is used.
Move the set of $context_function into the foreach (@lines) loop where
it is useful for each patch context.
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.

checkpatch: special audit for revert commit line
Currently checkpatch.pl does not recognize git's default commit revert
message and will complain about the hash format. Add special audit for
revert commit message line to fix it.

checkpatch: allow space leading blank lines in email headers
Allow a leading space and otherwise blank link in the email headers as
it can be a line wrapped Spamassassin multiple line string or any other
valid rfc 2822/5322 email header.
The line with space causes checkpatch to erroneously think that it's in
the content body, as opposed to headers and thus flag a mail header as
an unwrapped long comment line.
