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.

CURRENT_TIME macro is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems.
The patch replaces all the uses of CURRENT_TIME by current_time().
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs
timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe.
current_time() is also planned to be transitioned to y2038 safe behavior
along with this change.
CURRENT_TIME macro will be deleted before merging the aforementioned
change.

CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will be transitioned
to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a separate patch. There is no plan
to transition CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use y2038 safe time interfaces.
current_time() returns timestamps according to the granularities set in
the inode's super_block. The granularity check to call
current_fs_time() or CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not required.
Use current_time() directly to update inode timestamp. Use
timespec_trunc during file system creation, before the first inode is
created.

struct timespec is also not y2038 safe. Retain timespec for timestamp

The current_fs_time() api is being changed to use vfs struct inode* as

Set the new mds client request r_stamp field using ktime_get_real_ts()
instead of using current_fs_time().
Also, since r_stamp is used as mtime on the server, use timespec_trunc()
to truncate the timestamp, using the right granularity from the
superblock.
This api will be transitioned to be y2038 safe along with vfs.

CURRENT_TIME macro is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems.
The patch replaces all the uses of CURRENT_TIME by current_time() for
filesystem times, and ktime_get_* functions for authentication
timestamps and timezone calculations.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs
timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe.
CURRENT_TIME macro will be deleted before merging the aforementioned
change.
The inode timestamps read from the server are assumed to have correct
granularity and range.
The patch also assumes that the difference between server and client
times lie in the range INT_MIN..INT_MAX. This is valid because this is
the difference between current times between server and client, and the
largest timezone difference is in the range of one day.
All cifs timestamps currently use timespec representation internally.
Authentication and timezone timestamps can also be transitioned into
using timespec64 when all other timestamps for cifs is transitioned to
use timespec64.

While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer. This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.
As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

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.

The kref functions check for NULL release functions. This WARN_ON seems
rather pointless. We will eventually release and then just crash
nicely. It is also somewhat expensive because these functions are
inlined in a lot of places. Removing the WARN_ONs saves around 2.3k in
this kernel (likely more in others with more drivers)

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3.
The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to
change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache
functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days,
the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To
support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate
header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to
do with caches.

__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.

bcache_device_init uses kmalloc for small requests and vmalloc for those
which are larger than 64 pages. This alone is a strange criterion.
Moreover kmalloc can fallback to vmalloc on the failure. Let's simply
use kvmalloc instead as it knows how to handle the fallback properly

copy_params uses kmalloc with vmalloc fallback. We already have a
helper for that - kvmalloc. This caller requires GFP_NOIO semantic so
it hasn't been converted with many others by previous patches. All we
need to achieve this semantic is to use the scope
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} around kvmalloc.

fq_alloc_node, alloc_netdev_mqs and netif_alloc* open code kmalloc with
vmalloc fallback. Use the kvmalloc variant instead. Keep the
__GFP_REPEAT flag based on explanation from Eric:
"At the time, tests on the hardware I had in my labs showed that
vmalloc() could deliver pages spread all over the memory and that was
a small penalty (once memory is fragmented enough, not at boot time)"
The way how the code is constructed means, however, that we prefer to go
and hit the OOM killer before we fall back to the vmalloc for requests
<=32kB (with 4kB pages) in the current code. This is rather disruptive
for something that can be achived with the fallback. On the other hand
__GFP_REPEAT doesn't have any useful semantic for these requests. So
the effect of this patch is that requests which fit into 32kB will fall
back to vmalloc easier now.

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.

getxattr uses vmalloc to allocate memory if kzalloc fails. This is
filled by vfs_getxattr and then copied to the userspace. vmalloc,
however, doesn't zero out the memory so if the specific implementation
of the xattr handler is sloppy we can theoretically expose a kernel
memory. There is no real sign this is really the case but let's make
sure this will not happen and use vzalloc instead.

alloc_ila_locks seemed to c&p from alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern
which is quite unusual. The default allocation size is 320 *
sizeof(spinlock_t) which is sub page unless lockdep is enabled when the
performance benefit is really questionable and not worth the subtle code
IMHO. Also note that the context when we call ila_init_net (modprobe or
a task creating a net namespace) has to be properly configured.
Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper which is a
transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback.

alloc_bucket_locks allocation pattern is quite unusual. We are
preferring vmalloc when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled. The rationale is that
vmalloc will respect the memory policy of the current process and so the
backing memory will get distributed over multiple nodes if the requester
is configured properly. At least that is the intention, in reality
rhastable is shrunk and expanded from a kernel worker so no mempolicy
can be assumed.
Let's just simplify the code and use kvmalloc helper, which is a
transparent way to use kmalloc with vmalloc fallback, if the caller is
allowed to block and use the flag otherwise.
