There's only one caller of set_page_dirty_balance() and that will call it
with page_mkwrite == 0.
The page_mkwrite argument was unused since commit b827e496c893 "mm: close
page_mkwrite races".

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.

Instead of returning NULL from try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() when the mm
owner is exiting, just return root_mem_cgroup. This makes sense for all
callsites and gets rid of some of them having to fallback manually.

I tried to use 'dump_page(page, __func__)' for debugging, but it triggers
warning:
warning: passing argument 2 of `dump_page' discards `const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
Let's convert 'reason' to 'const char *' in dump_page() and friends: we
shouldn't modify it anyway.

PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users.
There's no significant performance degradation to checking
current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the
allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().

slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to
mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with
mempolicies.
At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local
variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and
remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed
into the function.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.
We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.
The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 |
| patched | 88.09% | 9.31 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 |
| patched | 91.15% | 12.57 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 |
| patched | 99.97% | 14.18 |

filemap_map_pages() is generic implementation of ->map_pages() for
filesystems who uses page cache.
It should be safe to use filemap_map_pages() for ->map_pages() if
filesystem use filemap_fault() for ->fault().

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.
First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.
->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".
Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.
TODO:
- implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
- modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.
=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.
Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):
Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.
On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.
We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size
- Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache
- Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
error path
- Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
dm-era).
- Various small cleanups in the DM core
- Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
'era'. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup
software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to
restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
- Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the
dm-thin-pool by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a
per-thin device list and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.
The subsequent read throughput of the data written via multiple
threads improved by ~70%.
- Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
internally.

Pull ARM SoC device tree changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"A large part of the arm-soc patches are nowadays DT changes, adding
support for new SoCs, boards and devices without changing kernel
source. The plan is still to move the devicetree files out of the
kernel tree and reduce the amount of churn going on here, but we keep
finding reasons to delay doing that.
Changes are really all over the place, with little sticking out
particularly. We have contributions from a total of 116 people in
this branch.
Unfortunately, the size of this branch also causes a significant
number of conflicts at the moment, typically when subsystem
maintainers merge patches that change the driver at the same time as
the dts files. In most cases this could be avoided because the dts
changes are supposed to be compatible in both ways, and we are asking
everyone to send ARM dts changes through our tree only"

Pull ARM changes from Russell King:
- Perf updates from Will Deacon:
- Support for Qualcomm Krait processors (run perf on your phone!)
- Support for Cortex-A12 (run perf stat on your FPGA!)
- Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
(run perf record on your FPGA!).
- Basic uprobes support from David Long:
This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
tables to process the results of the parsing.
- ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König
- OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.

Pull GFS2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"One of the main highlights this time, is not the patches themselves
but instead the widening contributor base. It is good to see that
interest is increasing in GFS2, and I'd like to thank all the
contributors to this patch set.
In addition to the usual set of bug fixes and clean ups, there are
patches to improve inode creation performance when xattrs are required
and some improvements to the transaction code which is intended to
help improve scalability after further changes in due course.
Journal extent mapping is also updated to make it more efficient and
again, this is a foundation for future work in this area.
The maximum number of ACLs has been increased to 300 (for a 4k block
size) which means that even with a few additional xattrs from selinux,
everything should fit within a single fs block.
There is also a patch to bring GFS2's own copy of the writepages code
up to the same level as the core VFS. Eventually we may be able to
merge some of this code, since it is fairly similar.
The other major change this time, is bringing consistency to the

Pull bulk of gpio updates from Linus Walleij:
"A pretty big chunk of changes this time, but it has all been on
rotation in linux-next and had some testing. Of course there will be
some amount of fixes on top...
- Merged in a branch of irqchip changes from Thomas Gleixner: we need
to have new callbacks from the irqchip to determine if the GPIO
line will be eligible for IRQs, and this callback must be able to
say "no". After some thinking I got the branch from tglx and have
switched all current users over to use this.
- Based on tglx patches, we have added some generic irqchip helpers
in the gpiolib core. These will help centralize code when GPIO
drivers have simple chained/cascaded IRQs. Drivers will still
define their irqchip vtables, but the gpiolib core will take care
of irqdomain set-up, mapping from local offsets to Linux irqs, and
reserve resources by marking the GPIO lines for IRQs.
- Initially the PL061 and Nomadik GPIO/pin control drivers have been
switched over to use the new gpiochip-to-irqchip infrastructure
with more drivers expected for the next kernel cycle. The
factoring of just two drivers still makes it worth it so it is
already a win.
- A new driver for the Synopsys DesignWare APB GPIO block.
- Modify the DaVinci GPIO driver to be reusable also for the new TI
Keystone architecture.
- A new driver for the LSI ZEVIO SoCs.
- Delete the obsolte tnetv107x driver.
- Some incremental work on GPIO descriptors: have
gpiod_direction_output() use a logical level, respecting assertion
polarity through ACTIVE_LOW flags, adding gpiod_direction_output_raw()
for the case where you want to set that very value. Add
gpiochip_get_desc() to fetch a GPIO descriptor from a specific
offset on a certain chip inside driver code.
- Switch ACPI GPIO code over to using gpiochip_get_desc() and get rid
of gpio_to_desc().
- The ACPI GPIO event handling code has been reworked after
encountering an actual real life implementation.
- Support for ACPI GPIO operation regions.
- Generic GPIO chips can now be assigned labels/names from platform
data.
- We now clamp values returned from GPIO drivers to the boolean [0,1]
range.
- Some improved documentation on how to use the polarity flag was
added.
- a large slew of incremental driver updates and non-critical fixes.

Export the DMA register information from the SoC specific data, such
that we can access the registers directly in omap-dma.c, mapping the
register region ourselves as well.
Rather than calculating the DMA channel register in its entirety for
each access, we pre-calculate an offset base address for the allocated
DMA channel and then just use the appropriate register offset.

Add code to check sizes of on-disk data of metadata files such as inode
size, segment usage size, DAT entry size, and checkpoint size. Although
these sizes are read from disk, the current implementation doesn't check
them.
If these sizes are not sane on disk, it can cause out-of-range access to
metadata or memory access overrun on metadata block buffers due to
overflow in sundry calculations.
Both lower limit and upper limit of metadata sizes are verified to
prevent these issues.

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.
This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.
If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation. In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.
This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment. It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.
