Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:

 - more MM stuff:

    - Kirill's page-flags rework

    - Kirill's now-allegedly-fixed THP rework

    - MADV_FREE implementation

    - DAX feature work (msync/fsync).  This isn't quite complete but DAX
      is new and it's good enough and the guys have a handle on what
      needs to be done - I expect this to be wrapped in the next week or
      two.

  - some vsprintf maintenance work

  - various other misc bits

+hugepage natively. Once finished you can drop the page table lock.
+
+== Refcounts and transparent huge pages ==
+
+Refcounting on THP is mostly consistent with refcounting on other compound
+pages:
+
+  - get_page()/put_page() and GUP operate in head page's ->_count.
+
+  - ->_count in tail pages is always zero: get_page_unless_zero() never
+    succeed on tail pages.
+
+  - map/unmap of the pages with PTE entry increment/decrement ->_mapcount
+    on relevant sub-page of the compound page.
+
+  - map/unmap of the whole compound page accounted in compound_mapcount
+    (stored in first tail page).
+
+PageDoubleMap() indicates that ->_mapcount in all subpages is offset up by one.
+This additional reference is required to get race-free detection of unmap of
+subpages when we have them mapped with both PMDs and PTEs.
+
+This is optimization required to lower overhead of per-subpage mapcount
+tracking. The alternative is alter ->_mapcount in all subpages on each
+map/unmap of the whole compound page.
+
+We set PG_double_map when a PMD of the page got split for the first time,
+but still have PMD mapping. The addtional references go away with last
+compound_mapcount.
 
 split_huge_page internally has to distribute the refcounts in the head
-page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the
-page structures. It can do that easily for refcounts taken by huge pmd
-mappings. But the GUI API as created by hugetlbfs (that returns head
-and tail pages if running get_user_pages on an address backed by any
-hugepage), requires the refcount to be accounted on the tail pages and
-not only in the head pages, if we want to be able to run
-split_huge_page while there are gup pins established on any tail
-page. Failure to be able to run split_huge_page if there's any gup pin
-on any tail page, would mean having to split all hugepages upfront in
-get_user_pages which is unacceptable as too many gup users are
-performance critical and they must work natively on hugepages like
-they work natively on hugetlbfs already (hugetlbfs is simpler because
-hugetlbfs pages cannot be split so there wouldn't be requirement of
-accounting the pins on the tail pages for hugetlbfs). If we wouldn't
-account the gup refcounts on the tail pages during gup, we won't know
-anymore which tail page is pinned by gup and which is not while we run
-split_huge_page. But we still have to add the gup pin to the head page
-too, to know when we can free the compound page in case it's never
-split during its lifetime. That requires changing not just
-get_page, but put_page as well so that when put_page runs on a tail
-page (and only on a tail page) it will find its respective head page,
-and then it will decrease the head page refcount in addition to the
-tail page refcount. To obtain a head page reliably and to decrease its
-refcount without race conditions, put_page has to serialize against
-__split_huge_page_refcount using a special per-page lock called
-compound_lock.
+page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the page
+structures. It can be done easily for refcounts taken by page table
+entries. But we don't have enough information on how to distribute any
+additional pins (i.e. from get_user_pages). split_huge_page() fails any
+requests to split pinned huge page: it expects page count to be equal to
+sum of mapcount of all sub-pages plus one (split_huge_page caller must
+have reference for head page).
+
+split_huge_page uses migration entries to stabilize page->_count and
+page->_mapcount.
+
+We safe against physical memory scanners too: the only legitimate way
+scanner can get reference to a page is get_page_unless_zero().
+
+All tail pages has zero ->_count until atomic_add(). It prevent scanner
+from geting reference to tail page up to the point. After the atomic_add()
+we don't care about ->_count value.  We already known how many references
+with should uncharge from head page.
+
+For head page get_page_unless_zero() will succeed and we don't mind. It's
+clear where reference should go after split: it will stay on head page.
+
+Note that split_huge_pmd() doesn't have any limitation on refcounting:
+pmd can be split at any point and never fails.
+
+== Partial unmap and deferred_split_huge_page() ==
+
+Unmapping part of THP (with munmap() or other way) is not going to free
+memory immediately. Instead, we detect that a subpage of THP is not in use
+in page_remove_rmap() and queue the THP for splitting if memory pressure
+comes. Splitting will free up unused subpages.
+
+Splitting the page right away is not an option due to locking context in
+the place where we can detect partial unmap. It's also might be
+counterproductive since in many cases partial unmap unmap happens during
+exit(2) if an THP crosses VMA boundary.
+
+Function deferred_split_huge_page() is used to queue page for splitting.
+The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker
+interface.
