395cf9691d doc: fix broken references
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

According to commit 676db4af04 ("cgroupfs: create /sys/fs/cgroup to
mount cgroupfs on") the canonical mountpoint for the cgroup filesystem
is /sys/fs/cgroup.  Hence, this should be used in the documentation.

4fe4746ab6 mm/fs: cleancache documentation
This patchset introduces cleancache, an optional new feature exposed
by the VFS layer that potentially dramatically increases page cache
effectiveness for many workloads in many environments at a negligible
cost.  It does this by providing an interface to transcendent memory,
which is memory/storage that is not otherwise visible to and/or directly
addressable by the kernel.

Instead of being discarded, hooks in the reclaim code "put" clean
pages to cleancache.  Filesystems that "opt-in" may "get" pages
from cleancache that were previously put, but pages in cleancache are
"ephemeral", meaning they may disappear at any time. And the size
of cleancache is entirely dynamic and unknowable to the kernel.
Filesystems currently supported by this patchset include ext3, ext4,
btrfs, and ocfs2.  Other filesystems (especially those built entirely
on VFS) should be easy to add, but should first be thoroughly tested to
ensure coherency.

Details and a FAQ are provided in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

This first patch of eight in this cleancache series only adds two
new documentation files.

b9498bfe86 numa: update Documentation/vm/numa, add memoryless node info
Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes.  He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation.  Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support.  At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.

Let the games begin.

4fd466eb46 HWPOISON: add memory cgroup filter
The hwpoison test suite need to inject hwpoison to a collection of
selected task pages, and must not touch pages not owned by them and
thus kill important system processes such as init. (But it's OK to
mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages.
Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test
suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.)

The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target
processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison
injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory
cgroup.

The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is,
the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is
locked).  Which we believe is/should be true.

The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the
mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases.

The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the
(process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space.
However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more
complexity than we wanted.

Example test case:

	mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison

	usemem -m 100 -s 1000 &
	echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks

	memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ')
	echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg

	page-types -p `pidof init`   --hwpoison  # shall do nothing
	page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison  # poison its pages

478c5ffc0b HWPOISON: add page flags filter
When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value).

-       corrupt-filter-flags-mask
-       corrupt-filter-flags-value

This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages.

Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid
setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page.
However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will
BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

31d3d3484f HWPOISON: limit hwpoison injector to known page types
__memory_failure()'s workflow is

	set PG_hwpoison
	//...
	unset PG_hwpoison if didn't pass hwpoison filter

That could kill unrelated process if it happens to page fault on the
page with the (temporary) PG_hwpoison. The race should be big enough to
appear in stress tests.

Fix it by grabbing the page and checking filter at inject time.  This
also avoids the very noisy "Injecting memory failure..." messages.

- we don't touch madvise() based injection, because the filters are
  generally not necessary for it.
- if we want to apply the filters to h/w aided injection, we'd better to
  rearrange the logic in __memory_failure() instead of this patch.

7c116f2b0d HWPOISON: add fs/device filters
Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.

The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
numbers:
        - corrupt-filter-dev-major
        - corrupt-filter-dev-minor
When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
device will be poisoned.

The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

The unpoisoning interface is useful for stress testing tools to
reclaim poisoned pages (to prevent OOM)

There is no hardware level unpoisioning, so this
cannot be used for real memory errors, only for software injected errors.

Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from
LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time.
Especially the stress test of dirty swap cache pages shall reboot system
before exhausting memory.

AK: Fix comments, add documentation, add printks, rename symbol

d0f209f68f ksm: remove unswappable max_kernel_pages
Now that ksm pages are swappable, and the known holes plugged, remove
mention of unswappable kernel pages from KSM documentation and comments.

Remove the totalram_pages/4 initialization of max_kernel_pages.  In fact,
remove max_kernel_pages altogether - we can reinstate it if removal turns
out to break someone's script; but if we later want to limit KSM's memory
usage, limiting the stable nodes would not be an effective approach.

4faf8d950e hugetlb: handle memory hot-plug events
Register per node hstate attributes only for nodes with memory.  As
suggested by David Rientjes.

With Memory Hotplug, memory can be added to a memoryless node and a node
with memory can become memoryless.  Therefore, add a memory on/off-line
notifier callback to [un]register a node's attributes on transition
to/from memoryless state.

N.B.,  Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression.
       i.e., no memory hotplug testing.

9b5e5d0fdc hugetlb: use only nodes with memory for huge pages
Register per node hstate sysfs attributes only for nodes with memory.
Global replacement of 'all online nodes" with "all nodes with memory" in
mm/hugetlb.c.  Suggested by David Rientjes.

A subsequent patch will handle adding/removing of per node hstate sysfs
attributes when nodes transition to/from memoryless state via memory
hotplug.

NOTE: this patch has not been tested with memoryless nodes.

bb86a7338b page-types: exit early when invoked with -d|--describe
On a system with large amount of memory (256GB), invoking page-types can
take quite a long time, which is unreasonable considering the user only
wants a description of the flags:

	# time ./page-types -d 0x10
	0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

	real	0m34.285s
	user	0m1.966s
	sys	0m32.313s

This is because we still walk the entire address range.

Exiting early seems like a reasonble solution:

# time ./page-types -d 0x10
	0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

	real	0m0.007s
	user	0m0.001s
	sys	0m0.005s

dcfe730c60 page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command line
Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line.

Why is this useful?  For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see
this in /var/log/messages:

	kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010

It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source.

Example usage and output:

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d 0x10
0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon
0x0000000000001000	____________a_____________________	anonymous

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon,0x10
0x0000000000001010	____D_______a_____________________	dirty,anonymous
