These day, there are many platforms available in the embedded market
and they are smarter than kernel which has very limited information
about working set so they want to involve memory management more heavily
like android's lowmemory killer and ashmem or recent many lowmemory
notifier.
One of the simple imagine scenario about userspace's intelligence is that
platform can manage tasks as forground and background so it would be
better to reclaim background's task pages for end-user's *responsibility*
although it has frequent referenced pages.
This patch adds new knob "reclaim under proc/<pid>/" so task manager
can reclaim any target process anytime, anywhere. It could give another
method to platform for using memory efficiently.
It can avoid process killing for getting free memory, which was really
terrible experience because I lost my best score of game I had ever
after I switch the phone call while I enjoyed the game.
Reclaim file-backed pages only.
echo file > /proc/PID/reclaim
Reclaim anonymous pages only.
echo anon > /proc/PID/reclaim
Reclaim all pages
echo all > /proc/PID/reclaim

[ Upstream commit 732ed55823fc3ad998d43b86bf771887bcc5ec67 ]
Stressing huge tmpfs often crashed on unmap_page()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
(!unmap_success): with dump_page() showing mapcount:1, but then its raw
struct page output showing _mapcount ffffffff i.e. mapcount 0.
And even if that particular VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!unmap_success) is removed,
it is immediately followed by a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_mapcount(head)),
and further down an IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) total_mapcount BUG():
all indicative of some mapcount difficulty in development here perhaps.
But the !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM path handles the failures correctly and
silently.
I believe the problem is that once a racing unmap has cleared pte or
pmd, try_to_unmap_one() may skip taking the page table lock, and emerge
from try_to_unmap() before the racing task has reached decrementing
mapcount.
Instead of abandoning the unsafe VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), and the ones that
follow, use PVMW_SYNC in try_to_unmap_one() in this case: adding
TTU_SYNC to the options, and passing that from unmap_page().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or for non-debug too? Consensus is to do the same
for both: the slight overhead added should rarely matter, except perhaps
if splitting sparsely-populated multiply-mapped shmem. Once confident
that bugs are fixed, TTU_SYNC here can be removed, and the race
tolerated.

Note on stable backport: upstream TTU_SYNC 0x10 takes the value which
5.11 commit 013339df116c ("mm/rmap: always do TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS") freed.
It is very tempting to backport that commit (as 5.10 already did) and
make no change here; but on reflection, good as that commit is, I'm
reluctant to include any possible side-effect of it in this series.

Some pages could be shared by several processes. (ex, libc)
In case of that, it's too bad to reclaim them from the beginnig.
This patch causes VM to keep them on memory until last task
try to reclaim them so shared pages will be reclaimed only if
all of task has gone swapping out.
This feature doesn't handle non-linear mapping on ramfs because
it's very time-consuming and doesn't make sure of reclaiming and
not common.

When dealing with speculative page fault handler, we may race with VMA
being split or merged. In this case the vma->vm_start and vm->vm_end
fields may not match the address the page fault is occurring.
This can only happens when the VMA is split but in that case, the
anon_vma pointer of the new VMA will be the same as the original one,
because in __split_vma the new->anon_vma is set to src->anon_vma when
*new = *vma.
So even if the VMA boundaries are not correct, the anon_vma pointer is
still valid.
If the VMA has been merged, then the VMA in which it has been merged
must have the same anon_vma pointer otherwise the merge can't be done.
So in all the case we know that the anon_vma is valid, since we have
checked before starting the speculative page fault that the anon_vma
pointer is valid for this VMA and since there is an anon_vma this
means that at one time a page has been backed and that before the VMA
is cleaned, the page table lock would have to be grab to clean the
PTE, and the anon_vma field is checked once the PTE is locked.
This patch introduce a new __page_add_new_anon_rmap() service which
doesn't check for the VMA boundaries, and create a new inline one
which do the check.
When called from a page fault handler, if this is not a speculative one,
there is a guarantee that vm_start and vm_end match the faulting address,
so this check is useless. In the context of the speculative page fault
handler, this check may be wrong but anon_vma is still valid as explained
above.

checkpatch fixes]
Signed-off-by: Vinayak Menon <vinmenon@codeaurora.org>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

TTU_MIGRATION is used to convert pte into migration entry until thp
split completes. This behavior conflicts with thp migration added later
patches, so let's introduce a new TTU flag specifically for freezing.
try_to_unmap() is used both for thp split (via freeze_page()) and page
migration (via __unmap_and_move()). In freeze_page(), ttu_flag given
for head page is like below (assuming anonymous thp):
(TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \
TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD)
and ttu_flag given for tail pages is:
(TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS | TTU_RMAP_LOCKED | \
TTU_MIGRATION)
__unmap_and_move() calls try_to_unmap() with ttu_flag:
(TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK | TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS)
Now I'm trying to insert a branch for thp migration at the top of
try_to_unmap_one() like below
static int try_to_unmap_one(struct page *page, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long address, void *arg)
{
...
/* PMD-mapped THP migration entry */
if (!pvmw.pte && (flags & TTU_MIGRATION)) {
if (!PageAnon(page))
continue;
set_pmd_migration_entry(&pvmw, page);
continue;
}
...
}
so try_to_unmap() for tail pages called by thp split can go into thp
migration code path (which converts *pmd* into migration entry), while
the expectation is to freeze thp (which converts *pte* into migration
entry.)
I detected this failure as a "bad page state" error in a testcase where
split_huge_page() is called from queue_pages_pte_range().

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.
We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.
- Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
our setup using MADV_FREE.
- Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.
- Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.
To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The
patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.
For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side. To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay. Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily. The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.
This patch (of 6):
Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.
Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.
The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal
code

anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the
expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn
the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it
inline and avoid a call for the common case.
Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size
costs:
add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 475/-373 (102)

hugetlb_fault 2123 2145 +22
wp_page_copy 1469 1487 +18
anon_vma_prepare 373 - -373
Checking the asm however confirms that the hot paths now avoid a call,
which is moved away.

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's
worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again. It's still wrong for some THP
cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to
addresses before the start of a vma.
That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index();
and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive. But
why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in
page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for
the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index).
Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment.
And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or
outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest
level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I
think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.

- TTU_RMAP_LOCKED indicates that caller holds relevant rmap lock;
Also, change rwc->done to !page_mapcount() instead of !page_mapped().
try_to_unmap() works on pte level, so we are really interested in the
mappedness of this small page rather than of the compound page it's a

This patchset rewrites freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() using
try_to_unmap() and remove_migration_ptes(). Result is much simpler, but
somewhat slower.
Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP:
Baseline 20.21 +/- 0.393
Patched 20.73 +/- 0.082
Slowdown 1.03x
It's 3% slower, comparing to 14% in v1. I don't it should be a stopper.
Splitting of PTE-mapped pages slowed more. But this is not a common
case.
Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP:
Baseline 20.39 +/- 0.225
Patched 22.43 +/- 0.496

rmap_walk_locked() is the same as rmap_walk(), but the caller takes care
of the relevant rmap lock.
This is preparation for switching THP splitting from custom rmap walk in
freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() to the generic one.
There is no support for KSM pages for now: not clear which lock is

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).
The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than
swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens.
Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace
without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation +
zeroing).
Jason Evans said:

How it works:
When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the
range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table
and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM
could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store
operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is
set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding.
One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty
bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page
or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM
shouldn't discard the page.
However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table
entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page
wrongly.
For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and
PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap
cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty
flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by
MADV_FREE.
However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty
still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the
page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future.
Look at below example for detail.
ptr = malloc();
memset(ptr);
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
..
..
var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
..
..
madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
..
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure again.
.. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
.. has *PG_dirty*
To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is
owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because
PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could
clear it only if we own it exclusively.
Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It
means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.
Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But
this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
now.
The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
track PTE mapcount.
We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
->mapping this time.
Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound
page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.
page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.
Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters. It
makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.
We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the
first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.
This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
cases.

An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain. Each
next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all
previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level.
This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma
instead of forking new one. It adds counter anon_vma->degree which
counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma
if counter is lower than two. As a result each anon_vma has either vma
or at least two descending anon_vmas. In such trees half of nodes are
leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times
bigger than count of vmas.
This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse
adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes
when it searches where page is might be mapped.

Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting
little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity:
indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the
migration entries that was temporarily inserted.
The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree
(good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good
for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages()
range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range).
remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the
i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration
entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race.
The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this;
but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

Now, we have an infrastructure in rmap_walk() to handle difference from
variants of rmap traversing functions.
So, just use it in page_referenced().
In this patch, I change following things.
1. remove some variants of rmap traversing functions.
cf> page_referenced_ksm, page_referenced_anon,
page_referenced_file
2. introduce new struct page_referenced_arg and pass it to
page_referenced_one(), main function of rmap_walk, in order to count
reference, to store vm_flags and to check finish condition.
3. mechanical change to use rmap_walk() in page_referenced().

There are a lot of common parts in traversing functions, but there are
also a little of uncommon parts in it. By assigning proper function
pointer on each rmap_walker_control, we can handle these difference
correctly.
Following are differences we should handle.
1. difference of lock function in anon mapping case
2. nonlinear handling in file mapping case
3. prechecked condition:
checking memcg in page_referenced(),
checking VM_SHARE in page_mkclean()
checking temporary vma in try_to_unmap()
4. exit condition:
checking page_mapped() in try_to_unmap()
So, in this patch, I introduce 4 function pointers to handle above
differences.

rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too
careful about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection
against anon vma list modifications, it does not need exclusive
access to the list itself.
Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes
a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense
threaded workloads which can cause pathological performance like
this:

With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat
and there's no anon-vma related scheduling/blocking.
Rename anon_vma_[un]lock() => anon_vma_[un]lock_write(),
to make it clearer that it's an exclusive write-lock in
that case - suggested by Rik van Riel.
