commit 2ad654bc5e2b211e92f66da1d819e47d79a866f0 upstream.

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk-&gt;flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.

Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.

Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230

To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

v4:
- updated mm/slab.c. (Fengguang Wu)
- updated Documentation.

<title>vmscan: memcg: always use swappiness of the reclaimed memcg</title>

<id>688eb988d15af55c1d1b70b1ca9f6ce58f277c20</id>
<content type='text'>
Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg
(origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory
reclaim.  This behavior was consistent (except for difference between
global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be
consistent within each memcg hierarchy.

After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and
oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of
hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone.
This can lead to an unexpected behavior.  Say that a group is explicitly
configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets
swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a
It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the
hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness.
There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the
hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of
somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not
necessarily about the memory limit.

From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon
vs.
 file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike
charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied
to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes
from.

This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into
the scan_control structure.  mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to
provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called.  The global
vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

Kmemcg is currently under development and lacks some important features.
In particular, it does not have support of kmem reclaim on memory pressure
inside cgroup, which practically makes it unusable in real life.  Let's
warn about it in both Kconfig and Documentation to prevent complaints
arising.

Per-memcg swappiness and oom killing can currently not be tweaked on a
memcg that is part of a hierarchy, but not the root of that hierarchy.
Users have complained that they can't configure this when they turned on
hierarchy mode.  In fact, with hierarchy mode becoming the default, this
restriction disables the tunables entirely.

But there is no good reason for this restriction.  The settings for
swappiness and OOM killing are taken from whatever memcg whose limit
triggered reclaim and OOM invocation, regardless of its position in the
hierarchy tree.

Allow setting swappiness on any group.  The knob on the root memcg
already reads the global VM swappiness, make it writable as well.

Allow disabling the OOM killer on any non-root memcg.

<title>memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty()</title>

<id>f61c42a7d9119a8b72b9607ba8e3a34111f81d8c</id>

Tejun has correctly pointed out that tasks/children test in
mem_cgroup_force_empty is not correct because there is no other locking
which preserves this state throughout the rest of the function so both
new tasks can join the group or new children groups can be added while
somebody is writing to memory.force_empty. A new task would break
mem_cgroup_reparent_charges expectation that all failures as described
by mem_cgroup_force_empty_list are temporal and there is no way out.

The main use case for the knob as described by
Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt is to:
"
  The typical use case for this interface is before calling rmdir().
  Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be
  moved to the parent. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful.
"

This means that reparenting is not really required as rmdir will
reparent pages implicitly from the safe context. If we remove it from
mem_cgroup_force_empty then we are safe even with existing tasks because
the number of reclaim attempts is bounded. Moreover the knob still does
what the documentation claims (modulo reparenting which doesn't make any
difference) and users might expect. Longterm we want to deprecate the
whole knob and put the reparented pages to the tail of parent LRU during
cgroup removal.

mem_cgroup_newpage_charge is used only for charging anonymous memory so
it is better to rename it to mem_cgroup_charge_anon.

mem_cgroup_cache_charge is used for file backed memory so rename it to
mem_cgroup_charge_file.

mem_cgroup_newpage_charge is used only for charging anonymous memory so
it is better to rename it to mem_cgroup_charge_anon.

mem_cgroup_cache_charge is used for file backed memory so rename it to
mem_cgroup_charge_file.

The res_counter_{charge,uncharge}_locked() variants are not used in the
kernel outside of the resource counter code itself, so remove the
interface.

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 - a new jpeg codec driver for Samsung Exynos (jpeg-hw-exynos4)
 - a new dvb frontend for ds2103 chipset (m88ds2103)
 - a new sensor driver for Samsung S5K5BAF UXGA (s5k5baf)
 - new drivers for R-Car VSP1
 - a new radio driver: radio-raremono
 - a new tuner driver for ts2022 chipset (m88ts2022)
 - the analog part of em28xx is now a separate module that only
   load/runs if the device is not a pure digital TV device
 - added a staging driver for bcm2048 radio devices
 - the omap 2 video driver (omap24xx) was moved to staging.  This driver
   is for an old hardware and uses a deprecated Kernel internal API.  If
   nobody cares enough to fix it, it would be removed on a couple Kernel
   releases
 - the sn9c102 driver was moved to staging.  This driver was replaced by
   gspca, and disabled on some distros, as almost all devices are known
   to work properly with gspca.  It should be removed from kernel on a
   couple Kernel releases
 - lots of driver fixes, improvements and cleanups
