If the caller has set __GFP_NOWARN don't print the following message:
vmap allocation for size 15736832 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase
size.
This can happen with the ARM/Linux or ARM64/Linux module loader built
with CONFIG_ARM{,64}_MODULE_PLTS=y which does a first attempt at loading
a large module from module space, then falls back to vmalloc space.

The previous patch ("mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to
clearing PF_MEMALLOC") has shown that simply setting and clearing
PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a
pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and potentially lead to recursive reclaim.
Let's introduce helpers that support proper nesting by saving the
previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing of
PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers.
There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes
it more robust.

Patch series "more robust PF_MEMALLOC handling"
This series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which
prevents recursive reclaim. There are some places that clear the flag
unconditionally from current->flags, which may result in clearing a
pre-existing flag. This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1
fixes (without the new helpers, to make backporting easier). Patch 2
introduces the new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers, and converts mm core to use them. Patches 3
and 4 convert non-mm code.
This patch (of 4):
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() sets PF_MEMALLOC to prevent deadlock
during page migration by lock_page() (see the comment in
__unmap_and_move()). Then it unconditionally clears the flag, which can
clear a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and result in recursive reclaim.
This was not a problem until commit a8161d1ed609 ("mm, page_alloc:
restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath"), because direct
compation was called only after direct reclaim, which was skipped when
PF_MEMALLOC flag was set.
Even now it's only a theoretical issue, as the new callsite of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is reached only for costly orders and
when gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() is true, which means either
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC is in gfp_flags or in_interrupt() is true. There is no
such known context, but let's play it safe and make
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() robust for cases where PF_MEMALLOC is
already set.
Fixes: a8161d1ed609 ("mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath")

Although all architectures use a deposited page table for THP on
anonymous VMAs, some architectures (s390 and powerpc) require the
deposited storage even for file backed VMAs due to quirks of their MMUs.
This patch adds support for depositing a table in DAX PMD fault handling
path for archs that require it. Other architectures should see no
functional changes.

Depending on the flags of the PMD being zapped there may or may not be a
deposited pgtable to be freed. In two of the three cases this is open
coded while the third uses the zap_deposited_table() helper. This patch
converts the others to use the helper to clean things up a bit.

Commit afddba49d18f ("fs: introduce write_begin, write_end, and
perform_write aops") introduced AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag which was
checked in pagecache_write_begin(), but that check was removed by
4e02ed4b4a2f ("fs: remove prepare_write/commit_write").
Between these two commits, commit d9414774dc0c ("cifs: Convert cifs to
new aops.") added a check in cifs_write_begin(), but that check was soon
removed by commit a98ee8c1c707 ("[CIFS] fix regression in
cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_end").
Therefore, AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag is checked nowhere. Let's
remove this flag. This patch has no functionality changes.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.
In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.
From Dave Hansen:
"for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
*contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
fragmentation.
The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.
The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it. That makes it a little harder to change.

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

vhost code uses __GFP_REPEAT when allocating vhost_virtqueue resp.
vhost_vsock because it would really like to prefer kmalloc to the
vmalloc fallback - see 23cc5a991c7a ("vhost-net: extend device
allocation to vmalloc") for more context. Michael Tsirkin has also
noted:
"__GFP_REPEAT overhead is during allocation time. Using vmalloc means
all accesses are slowed down. Allocation is not on data path, accesses
are."
The similar applies to other vhost_kvzalloc users.
Let's teach kvmalloc_node to handle __GFP_REPEAT properly. There are
two things to be careful about. First we should prevent from the OOM
killer and so have to involve __GFP_NORETRY by default and secondly
override __GFP_REPEAT for !costly order requests as the __GFP_REPEAT is
ignored for !costly orders.
Supporting __GFP_REPEAT like semantic for !costly request is possible it
would require changes in the page allocator. This is out of scope of
this patch.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by
"mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use
it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't
realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The
function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is
then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not
inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as
callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging
feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given
range belongs to vmalloc as a caller:
0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3
0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this
issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for
allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when
possible.
Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable
allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and
terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that
the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block. Instead there might
be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the
next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase
long-term fragmentation.
To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination
criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even
though the high-order page already exists. Note that it might be
possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to
parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that.
This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is
limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in
a migratetype fallback. (Async compaction also eagerly skips
order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of
migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.)
As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be
reduced.
In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced

The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to
MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce
latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are
unlikely to contain movable pages.
However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are
not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the
chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE
pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse.
This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct
compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the
requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such
pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the
allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need
for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore
this restriction.
In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by
12%.

When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count
how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype
if more than half of the pageblock was free. This might be too
conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were
allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested.
While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely
(at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count
pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are
either on LRU or __PageMovable(). The rest can be assumed to be
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily
distinguish. This counting can be done as part of free page stealing
with little additional overhead.
The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus
pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change
pageblock's migratetype.
The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the
actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied
pageblocks. This should help the efficiency of page grouping by
mobility.
In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 47%. The number of movable allocations falling back to other
pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent
fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive. Later patches also
offset the movable fallback increase to some extent.

The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of
requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one.
There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce
permanent fragmentation. The main one is to try stealing from a
pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at
once and convert the whole pageblock. Precise searching for such
pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free
lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block
with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages
in total.
Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also
pages of lower orders from the same block. But then we still split the
highest order page. This is wasteful and can contribute to
fragmentation instead of avoiding it.
This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s)
and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only
report whether it was successful. Then we pick (and eventually split)
the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest(). This all happens under
zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process. This should
reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks. At worst we are only stealing a
single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between
lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that
should not be a concern. As a side benefit the patch removes some
duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order
page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own
search for a suitable page in the freelists. This is not ideal for two
reasons:
- The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a
less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste
of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark
check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages.
- The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages.
Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing
because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and
it terminates.
This patch therefore removes the watermark check. This should save some
cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3.
Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility
grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with
some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling
back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation.
The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone
balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed
wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory. There were 5 repeats
of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats
below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me).
Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order
used, so I'm not including them.
Compaction stats:
(the patches are stacked, and I haven't measured the non-functional-changes
patches separately)

Compaction stalls 22449 24680 24846 19765 22059 17480

Compaction cost 10243 10578 10304 8286 8398 9440
Compaction stats are mostly within noise until patch 4, which decreases
the number of compactions, and migrations. Part of that could be due to
more pageblocks marked as unmovable, and async compaction skipping
those. This changes a bit with patch 7, but not so much. Patch 8
increases free scanner stats and migrations, which comes from the
changed termination criteria. Interestingly number of compactions
decreases - probably the fully compacted pageblock satisfies multiple
subsequent allocations, so it amortizes.
Next comes the extfrag tracepoint, where "fragmenting" means that an
allocation had to fallback to a pageblock of another migratetype which
wasn't fully free (which is almost all of the fallbacks). I have
locally added another tracepoint for "Page steal" into
steal_suitable_fallback() which triggers in situations where we are
allowed to do move_freepages_block(). If we decide to also do
set_pageblock_migratetype(), it's "Pages steal with pageblock" with
break down for which allocation migratetype we are stealing and from
which fallback migratetype. The last part "due to counting" comes from
patch 4 and counts the events where the counting of movable pages
allowed us to change pageblock's migratetype, while the number of free
pages alone wouldn't be enough to cross the threshold.

... for reclaimable 49 41 63
What we can see is that "Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable" and "...
placed with movable" drops with almost each patch, which is good as we
are polluting less movable pageblocks with unmovable pages.
The most significant change is patch 4 with movable page counting. On
the other hand it increases "Extfrag fragmenting for movable" by 50%.
"Pages steal" drops though, so these movable allocation fallbacks find
only small free pages and are not allowed to steal whole pageblocks
back. "Pages steal with pageblock" raises, because the patch increases
the chances of pageblock migratetype changes to happen. This affects
all migratetypes.
The summary is that patch 4 is not a clear win wrt these stats, but I
believe that the tradeoff it makes is a good one. There's less
pollution of movable pageblocks by unmovable allocations. There's less
stealing between pageblock, and those that remain have higher chance of
changing migratetype also the pageblock itself, so it should more
faithfully reflect the migratetype of the pages within the pageblock.
The increase of movable allocations falling back to unmovable pageblock
might look dramatic, but those allocations can be migrated by compaction
when needed, and other patches in the series (7-9) improve that aspect.
Patches 7 and 8 continue the trend of reduced unmovable fallbacks and
also reduce the impact on movable fallbacks from patch 4.

This patch (of 8):
While currently there are (mostly by accident) no holes in struct
compact_control (on x86_64), but we are going to add more bool flags, so
place them all together to the end of the structure. While at it, just
order all fields from largest to smallest.

Wrong sign of iov_iter_revert() argument. Unfortunately, slipped through
the testing, since most of the time we don't do anything to the iterator
afterwards and potential oops on walking the iter->iov too far backwards
is too infrequent to be easily triggered.
Add a sanity check in iov_iter_revert() to catch bugs like this one;
fortunately, the same braino hadn't happened in other callers, but we'd
better have a warning if such thing crops up.

Changes double-free report header from
BUG: Double free or freeing an invalid pointer
Unexpected shadow byte: 0xFB
to
BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kmalloc_oob_left+0xe5/0xef
This makes a bug uniquely identifiable by the first report line. To
account for removing of the unexpected shadow value, print shadow bytes
at the end of the report as in reports for other kinds of bugs.

to:
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff880068388540
which belongs to the cache kmalloc-128 of size 128
The buggy address is located 123 bytes inside of
128-byte region [ffff880068388540, ffff8800683885c0)
Makes it more explanatory and adds information about relative offset of
the accessed address to the start of the object.

The exact access address is not usually important, so move it to the
second line. This also makes the header look visually balanced.

Introduce get_shadow_bug_type() function, which determines bug type
based on the shadow value for a particular kernel address. Introduce
get_wild_bug_type() function, which determines bug type for addresses

Memory error handler calls try_to_unmap() for error pages in various
states. If the error page is a mlocked page, error handling could fail
with "still referenced by 1 users" message. This is because the page is
linked to and stays in lru cache after the following call chain.
try_to_unmap_one
page_remove_rmap
clear_page_mlock
putback_lru_page
lru_cache_add
memory_failure() calls shake_page() to hanlde the similar issue, but
current code doesn't cover because shake_page() is called only before
try_to_unmap(). So this patches adds shake_page().

shake_page() is called before going into core error handling code in
order to ensure that the error page is flushed from lru_cache lists
where pages stay during transferring among LRU lists.
But currently it's not fully functional because when the page is linked
to lru_cache by calling activate_page(), its PageLRU flag is set and
shake_page() is skipped. The result is to fail error handling with
"still referenced by 1 users" message.
When the page is linked to lru_cache by isolate_lru_page(), its PageLRU
is clear, so that's fine.
This patch makes shake_page() unconditionally called to avoild the
failure.

In swapcache_free_entries(), if swap_info_get_cont() returns NULL,
something wrong occurs for the swap entry. But we should still continue
to free the following swap entries in the array instead of skip them to
avoid swap space leak. This is just problem in error path, where system
may be in an inconsistent state, but it is still good to fix it.

MIPS just got changed to only accept a pointer argument for access_ok(),
causing one warning in drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c. I tried changing x86 the
same way and found the same warning in __get_user_pages_fast() and
nowhere else in the kernel during randconfig testing:
mm/gup.c: In function '__get_user_pages_fast':
mm/gup.c:1578:6: error: passing argument 1 of '__chk_range_not_ok' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror=int-conversion]
It would probably be a good idea to enforce type-safety in general, so
let's change this file to not cause a warning if we do that.
I don't know why the warning did not appear on MIPS.

Patch series "Properly invalidate data in the cleancache", v2.
We've noticed that after direct IO write, buffered read sometimes gets
stale data which is coming from the cleancache. The reason for this is
that some direct write hooks call call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]()
conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero, so we may not invalidate
data in the cleancache.
Another odd thing is that we check only for ->nrpages and don't check
for ->nrexceptional, but invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] also
invalidates exceptional entries as well. So we invalidate exceptional
entries only if ->nrpages != 0? This doesn't feel right.
- Patch 1 fixes direct IO writes by removing ->nrpages check.
- Patch 2 fixes similar case in invalidate_bdev().
Note: I only fixed conditional cleancache_invalidate_inode() here.
Do we also need to add ->nrexceptional check in into invalidate_bdev()?
- Patches 3-4: some optimizations.
This patch (of 4):
Some direct IO write fs hooks call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]()
conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero. This can't be right,
because invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() also invalidate data in the
cleancache via cleancache_invalidate_inode() call. So if page cache is
empty but there is some data in the cleancache, buffered read after
direct IO write would get stale data from the cleancache.
Also it doesn't feel right to check only for ->nrpages because
invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] invalidates exceptional entries as well.
Fix this by calling invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() regardless of
nrpages state.
Note: nfs,cifs,9p doesn't need similar fix because the never call
cleancache_get_page() (nor directly, nor via mpage_readpage[s]()), so
they are not affected by this bug.

Commit c0a32fc5a2e4 ("mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging")
changed to check debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 when reporting
allocation failures. The reasoning was
When we use guard page to debug memory corruption, it shrinks
available pages to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and so on, depending on parameter
value. In such case memory allocation failures can be common and
printing errors can flood dmesg. If somebody debug corruption,
allocation failures are not the things he/she is interested about.
but this is misguided.
Allocation requests with __GFP_NOWARN flag by definition do not cause
flooding of allocation failure messages. Allocation requests with
__GFP_NORETRY flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Costly
allocation requests likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag.
Allocation requests without __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag likely also have
__GFP_NOWARN flag or __GFP_HIGH flag. Non-costly allocation requests
with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag basically retry forever due to the "too
small to fail" memory-allocation rule.
Therefore, as a whole, shrinking available pages by
debug_guardpage_minorder= kernel boot parameter might cause flooding of
OOM killer messages but unlikely causes flooding of allocation failure
messages. Let's remove debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 check which would
likely be pointless.

It helps to provide page flag description along with the raw value in
error paths during soft offline process. From sample experiments
Before the patch:
soft offline: 0x6100: migration failed 1, type 3ffff800008018
soft offline: 0x7400: migration failed 1, type 3ffff800008018
After the patch:
soft offline: 0x5900: migration failed 1, type 3ffff800008018 (uptodate|dirty|head)
soft offline: 0x6c00: migration failed 1, type 3ffff800008018 (uptodate|dirty|head)

madvise_behavior_valid() should be called before acting upon the
behavior parameter. Hence move up the function. This also includes
MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON options as valid behavior parameter
for the system call madvise().

This cleans up handling MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON called
through madvise() system call.
* madvise_memory_failure() was misleading to accommodate handling of
both memory_failure() as well as soft_offline_page() functions.
Basically it handles memory error injection from user space which
can go either way as memory failure or soft offline. Renamed as
madvise_inject_error() instead.
* Renamed struct page pointer 'p' to 'page'.
* pr_info() was essentially printing PFN value but it said 'page'
which was misleading. Made the process virtual address explicit.

The memory controllers stat function names are awkwardly long and
arbitrarily different from the zone and node stat functions.
The current interface is named:
mem_cgroup_read_stat()
mem_cgroup_update_stat()
mem_cgroup_inc_stat()
mem_cgroup_dec_stat()
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_dec_page_stat()
This patch renames it to match the corresponding node stat functions:
memcg_page_state() [node_page_state()]
mod_memcg_state() [mod_node_state()]
inc_memcg_state() [inc_node_state()]
dec_memcg_state() [dec_node_state()]
mod_memcg_page_state() [mod_node_page_state()]
inc_memcg_page_state() [inc_node_page_state()]
dec_memcg_page_state() [dec_node_page_state()]
