We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management
on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory
efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS.
On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really
hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss
+ wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android).
This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get
more exact workingset size per process.
Bongkyu tested it. Result is below.
1. 50M used swap
SwapTotal: 461976 kB
SwapFree: 411192 kB
$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.

Mateusz Guzik reported :
Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.
Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
done, or to prevent a resize.
Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c
A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
as table size is at least doubled at every resize.
We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.
__fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.
The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())
resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.
rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
from process context.
It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU E5-2696 v2 @ 2.50GHz

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.
Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().
b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner:
"This update contains:
- RENAME_WHITEOUT support
- conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters
- new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of
truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions
to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption
- rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.
- FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
file
- attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
filesystems
- Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
when errors occur. Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
due to cascading failures in error conditions.
- lots of cleanups and bug fixes
One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
after the window opened. Even though a little late, they fix a user
reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested. I figured
there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be
released just so I could send them to you..."

Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.
Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.
$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...
$ ps -C rpcbind
PID TTY TIME CMD
332 ? 00:00:00 rpcbind
$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos: 0
flags: 0100000
mnt_id: 22
lock: 1: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock
$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0
You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.
This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to
get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN.
This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to
page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page.
We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is
attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX
patch will follow)
This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a
pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node.
We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because
1 - The name ;-)
2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious
audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP
users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current
DAX code (which this is for) would crash.
If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first
patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this
patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night.
Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that
expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver.
Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we
Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to:
check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return.
No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to
change pte permissions anyway.
