memremap.c implements MM functionality for ZONE_DEVICE, so it really
should be in the mm/ directory, not the kernel/ one.

"howaboutsynergy" reported via kernel buzilla number 204165 that
compact_zone_order was consuming 100% CPU during a stress test for
prolonged periods of time.  Specifically the following command, which
should exit in 10 seconds, was taking an excessive time to finish while
the CPU was pegged at 100%.

  stress -m 220 --vm-bytes 1000000000 --timeout 10

Tracing indicated a pattern as follows

          stress-3923  [007]   519.106208: mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages: range=(0x70bb80 ~ 0x70bb80) nr_scanned=0 nr_taken=0

Note that compaction is entered in rapid succession while scanning and
isolating nothing.  The problem is that when a task that is compacting
receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting
while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending.

It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on
the basis that the timing is altered.  A very small window has to be hit
for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and
isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX).

This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30%
zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng
implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits).
Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short
window.  With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed
normally instead of consuming CPU.

This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit
cf66f0700c8f ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as
contention").  Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then
locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.

<title>mm: migrate: fix reference check race between __find_get_block() and migration</title>

buffer_migrate_page_norefs() can race with bh users in the following
way:

CPU1                                    CPU2
buffer_migrate_page_norefs()
  buffer_migrate_lock_buffers()
  checks bh refs
  spin_unlock(&amp;mapping-&gt;private_lock)
                                        __find_get_block()
                                          spin_lock(&amp;mapping-&gt;private_lock)
                                          grab bh ref
                                          spin_unlock(&amp;mapping-&gt;private_lock)
  move page                               do bh work

This can result in various issues like lost updates to buffers (i.e.
metadata corruption) or use after free issues for the old page.

This patch closes the race by holding mapping-&gt;private_lock while the
mapping is being moved to a new page.  Ordinarily, a reference can be
taken outside of the private_lock using the per-cpu BH LRU but the
references are checked and the LRU invalidated if necessary.  The
private_lock is held once the references are known so the buffer lookup
slow path will spin on the private_lock.  Between the page lock and
private_lock, it should be impossible for other references to be
acquired and updates to happen during the migration.

A user had reported data corruption issues on a distribution kernel with
a similar page migration implementation as mainline.  The data
corruption could not be reproduced with this patch applied.  A small
number of migration-intensive tests were run and no performance problems
were noted.

<title>mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker</title>

Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with
"cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even
though memcg is actually NULL.  The drop_caches is also broken.

It is because commit aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize
shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before
!mem_cgroup_is_root().  And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even
though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter.

Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.

Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with
"cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even
though memcg is actually NULL.  The drop_caches is also broken.

It is because commit aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize
shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before
!mem_cgroup_is_root().  And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even
though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter.

Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.

<title>Revert "kmemleak: allow to coexist with fault injection"</title>

When running ltp's oom test with kmemleak enabled, the below warning was
triggerred since kernel detects __GFP_NOFAIL &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is
passed in:

The mempool_alloc_slab() clears __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, however kmemleak
has __GFP_NOFAIL set all the time due to d9570ee3bd1d4f2 ("kmemleak:
allow to coexist with fault injection").  But, it doesn't make any sense
to have __GFP_NOFAIL and ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM specified at the same
time.

According to the discussion on the mailing list, the commit should be
reverted for short term solution.  Catalin Marinas would follow up with
a better solution for longer term.

The failure rate of kmemleak metadata allocation may increase in some
circumstances, but this should be expected side effect.

<title>mm: slub: Fix slab walking for init_on_free</title>

To properly clear the slab on free with slab_want_init_on_free, we walk
the list of free objects using get_freepointer/set_freepointer.

The value we get from get_freepointer may not be valid.  This isn't an
issue since an actual value will get written later but this means
there's a chance of triggering a bug if we use this value with
set_freepointer:
