2583d67132 mm, compaction: split off flag for not updating skip hints 
Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which
shares core code with CMA.  Since CMA reliability would suffer from the
heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA
use case.  Since 6815bf3f23 ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint
in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update*
the skip hints in addition to ignoring them.

Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last
resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation
fails in such case.  Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint
flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets.  This should improve
the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit
handling as the next step.

0cd842f970 mm: make alloc_node_mem_map a void call if we don't have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP 
free_area_init_node() calls alloc_node_mem_map(), but this function does
nothing unless we have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP.

As a cleanup, we can move the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" within
alloc_node_mem_map() out of the function, and define a
alloc_node_mem_map() { } when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is not present.

This also moves the printk that lays within the "#ifdef
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" block from free_area_init_node() to
alloc_node_mem_map(), getting rid of the "#ifdef
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" in free_area_init_node().

0205f75571 mm: simplify nodemask printing 
alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask
which forces both paths to use pr_cont.  We can do better.  printk
already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach
nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully.  This allows
simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of
pr_cont altogether.

This patch has been motivated by patch from Joe Perches

d135e57502 mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculation 
In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
be deferred.  We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
pages for reserved memory in this node.

The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
addresses, and returns size in bytes.  However, reset_deferred_meminit()
assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
count.

The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

400e22499d mm: don't warn about allocations which stall for too long 
Commit 63f53dea0c ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too
long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up
problem caused by memory allocation stalls.  But this commit reverts it,
for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many
threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory
allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is
difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous
warning approach.

Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the
context of a thread which called console_unlock().  printk() should be
able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues
appending to printk() buffer.

Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting
for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process()
is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force
oom_kill_process() loop inside printk().  As a result, warn_alloc()
significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process()
from making forward progress.

---------- Pseudo code start ----------
Before warn_alloc() was introduced:

  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
      while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
        atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
    }
    goto retry;

After warn_alloc() was introduced:

  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
      while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
        atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
    } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) {
      atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
    }
    goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------

Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds,
unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same
time.  Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing
almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU
resource.  Therefore, this situation can be simplified like

---------- Pseudo code start ----------
  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
      while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
        atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
    } else {
      atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
    }
    goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------

when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log.

One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to
make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or
warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk()
(either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress.

Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable
form.

---------- Pseudo code start ----------
  retry:
    if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
      mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock);
      while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
        atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
        print_one_log();
      }
      // Send SIGKILL here.
      mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
      mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
    } else {
      if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) {
        atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
        mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
      }
    }
    goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------

But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to
introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain
useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and
warn_alloc().

Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g.  too late [1],
too frequent [2], overlooked [3]).  As far as I know, warn_alloc() never
helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong".
I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information
during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g.  the owner of
oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions
(e.g.  turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump
of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose).

This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g.  OOM lockup due to
unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request.
But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit
warning.  Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

b050e3769c mm, page_alloc: fix potential false positive in __zone_watermark_ok 
Since commit 97a16fc82a ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for
order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order
allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for
ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page
of any migratetype.  The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate
from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't.

However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return
true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to
CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list.  Since the
allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able
to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive.

The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one.
Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct.  There also
shouldn't be a performance tradeoff here.

4518085e12 mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable 
This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.

=========================================================================

When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:

	echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat

In this case, numa counter update is ignored.  We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).

Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):

  https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench

=========================================================================

When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat

This is system default setting.

Many thanks to Michal Hocko, Dave Hansen, Ying Huang and Vlastimil Babka
for comments to help improve the original patch.

0fac3ba527 mm, page_alloc: simplify list handling in rmqueue_bulk() 
rmqueue_bulk() fills an empty pcplist with pages from the free list.  It
tries to preserve increasing order by pfn to the caller, because it
leads to better performance with some I/O controllers, as explained in
commit e084b2d95e ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when
__GFP_COLD is set").

To preserve the order, it's sufficient to add pages to the tail of the
list as they are retrieved.  The current code instead adds to the head
of the list, but then updates the list head pointer to the last added
page, in each step.  This does result in the same order, but is
needlessly confusing and potentially wasteful, with no apparent benefit.
This patch simplifies the code and adjusts comment accordingly.

453f85d43f mm: remove __GFP_COLD 
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of.  Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact.  Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.

This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache.  Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop.  It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.

The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path.  A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

2d4894b5d2 mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page* 
Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot.  The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost.  As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.

The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages.  It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them.  __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero.  free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name.  free_unref_page
should be more obvious.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

9cca35d42e mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages 
Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2.

This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache
truncation" series.  We both ended up looking at the same problem but
saw different problems based on the same data.  This series builds upon
his work.

A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each
machine showed gains albeit at different levels.  Minimally, some of the
differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is
slower than a local node.  The workloads checked were

o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny
o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large
o reaim-io disk workfile
o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results)
o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size
o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM

reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains.  Truncation does
not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other
regressions.  They will not be reported further.

The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan.  It creates a number
of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one.  The
"tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in
memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache.
The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the
size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and
working set shadow entries in the radix tree.

Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series.  Patches 5-8 are
optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a
negligible performance impact.

The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie
delete options, the main comparison is

Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where
as this series on top gains another 11%.  This is from a different
machine than the data in the changelogs but the detailed data was not
collected as there was no substantial change in v2.

This patch (of 8):

Freeing a list of pages current enables/disables IRQs for each page
freed.  This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations --
preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing.  This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

85ccc8fa81 mm/page_alloc: make sure __rmqueue() etc are always inline 
__rmqueue(), __rmqueue_fallback(), __rmqueue_smallest() and
__rmqueue_cma_fallback() are all in page allocator's hot path and better
be finished as soon as possible.  One way to make them faster is by making
them inline.  But as Andrew Morton and Andi Kleen pointed out:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1252
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1279

To make sure they are inlined, we should use __always_inline for them.

With the will-it-scale/page_fault1/process benchmark, when using nr_cpu
processes to stress buddy, the results for will-it-scale.processes with
and without the patch are:

On a 2-sockets Intel-Skylake machine:

   compiler          base        head
  gcc-4.4.7       6496131     6911823 +6.4%
  gcc-4.9.4       7225110     7731072 +7.0%
  gcc-5.4.1       7054224     7688146 +9.0%
  gcc-6.2.0       7059794     7651675 +8.4%

On a 4-sockets Intel-Skylake machine:

   compiler          base        head
  gcc-4.4.7      13162890    13508193 +2.6%
  gcc-4.9.4      14997463    15484353 +3.2%
  gcc-5.4.1      14708711    15449805 +5.0%
  gcc-6.2.0      14574099    15349204 +5.3%

The above 4 compilers are used because I've done the tests through
Intel's Linux Kernel Performance(LKP) infrastructure and they are the
available compilers there.

The benefit being less on 4 sockets machine is due to the lock
contention there(perf-profile/native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath=81%) is
less severe than on the 2 sockets machine(85%).

What the benchmark does is: it forks nr_cpu processes and then each
process does the following:
    1 mmap() 128M anonymous space;
    2 writes to each page there to trigger actual page allocation;
    3 munmap() it.
in a loop.

  https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale/blob/master/tests/page_fault1.c

Binary size wise, I have locally built them with different compilers:

f7f99100d8 mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap 
vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory at
its call sites for everything except struct pages.  Struct page memory
is zero'd by struct page initialization.

Replace allocators in sparse-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version.
So, we will get the performance improvement by zeroing the memory in
parallel when struct pages are zeroed.

Add struct page zeroing as a part of initialization of other fields in
__init_single_page().

This single thread performance collected on: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895
v3 @ 2.60GHz with 1T of memory (268400646 pages in 8 nodes):

                         BASE            FIX
sparse_init     11.244671836s   0.007199623s
zone_sizes_init  4.879775891s   8.355182299s
                  --------------------------
Total           16.124447727s   8.362381922s

sparse_init is where memory for struct pages is zeroed, and the zeroing
part is moved later in this patch into __init_single_page(), which is
called from zone_sizes_init().

a4a3ede213 mm: zero reserved and unavailable struct pages 
Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory
(because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved.
Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by
going through __init_single_page().

In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not
contain any data.  One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags
if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM,
SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS).

One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally
reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the
exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e.  KVM).

Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during
allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly.

The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator:
	for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end)

Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages
explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page().

===

Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing:

Run tested on qemu with the following arguments:

	-enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2

This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages.

They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255].

Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does
not reserve [159, 255] ones.

e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are
available:
    [1 , 158]
[256, 130783]

Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing!

Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039]

pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are.

However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct
pages is with memory hotplug.  Because, that path operates at 2M
boundaries (section_nr).  And checks if 2M range of pages is hot
removable.  It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M
boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is
created), and checks if that section is hot removable.  In this case
start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0.  Later pfn is converted
to struct page, and some fields are checked.  Now, if we do not zero
struct pages, we get unpredictable results.

In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all
vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test
without this patch applied:

ea1f5f3712 mm: define memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw 
* A new variant of memblock_virt_alloc_* allocations:
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw()
    - Does not zero the allocated memory
    - Does not panic if request cannot be satisfied

* optimize early system hash allocations

Clients can call alloc_large_system_hash() with flag: HASH_ZERO to
specify that memory that was allocated for system hash needs to be
zeroed, otherwise the memory does not need to be zeroed, and client will
initialize it.

If memory does not need to be zero'd, call the new
memblock_virt_alloc_raw() interface, and thus improve the boot
performance.

* debug for raw alloctor

When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, this patch sets all the memory that is
returned by memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to ones to ensure that no
places excpect zeroed memory.

2f47a91f4d mm: deferred_init_memmap improvements 
Patch series "complete deferred page initialization", v12.

SMP machines can benefit from the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT config
option, which defers initializing struct pages until all cpus have been
started so it can be done in parallel.

However, this feature is sub-optimal, because the deferred page
initialization code expects that the struct pages have already been
zeroed, and the zeroing is done early in boot with a single thread only.
Also, we access that memory and set flags before struct pages are
initialized.  All of this is fixed in this patchset.

In this work we do the following:
 - Never read access struct page until it was initialized
 - Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized
 - Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization

This patch (of 11):

deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later
in boot by slave CPUs.  This patch simplifies and optimizes this
function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below).

The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas
instead of all configured memory.  Thus, we do not have to check if the
struct page has already been initialized.

=====
In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are
initialized we have a check like this:

  if (page->flags) {
	VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone);
	goto free_range;
  }

This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been
initialized.  It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed,
and the only way flags are not zero if it went through
__init_single_page() before.  But, once we change the current behavior
and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust
anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized.  This patch
fixes this.

The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free
memory ranges provided by memblock.

Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is
merged:

=====
This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in
zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined.

In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this:

  if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn)
	goto free_range;

Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn'
advances.  Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems
with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions.  I have
fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary
operations when we free the current set of pages.

Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)
4950276672 kmemcheck: remove annotations 
Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

d7ab3672c3 mm, page_alloc: fail has_unmovable_pages when seeing reserved pages 
Reserved pages should be completely ignored by the core mm because they
have a special meaning for their owners.  has_unmovable_pages doesn't
check those so we rely on other tests (reference count, or PageLRU) to
fail on such pages.  Althought this happens to work it is safer to
simply check for those explicitly and do not rely on the owner of the
page to abuse those fields for special purposes.

Please note that this is more of a further fortification of the code
rahter than a fix of an existing issue.

4da2ce250f mm: distinguish CMA and MOVABLE isolation in has_unmovable_pages() 
Joonsoo has noticed that "mm: drop migrate type checks from
has_unmovable_pages" would break CMA allocator because it relies on
has_unmovable_pages returning false even for CMA pageblocks which in
fact don't have to be movable:

 alloc_contig_range
   start_isolate_page_range
     set_migratetype_isolate
       has_unmovable_pages

This is a result of the code sharing between CMA and memory hotplug
while each one has a different idea of what has_unmovable_pages should
return.  This is unfortunate but fixing it properly would require a lot
of code duplication.

Fix the issue by introducing the requested migrate type argument and
special case MIGRATE_CMA case where CMA page blocks are handled
properly.  This will work for memory hotplug because it requires
MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

d7b236e10c mm: drop migrate type checks from has_unmovable_pages 
Michael has noticed that the memory offline tries to migrate kernel code
pages when doing

 echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/online

The current implementation will fail the operation after several failed
page migration attempts but we shouldn't even attempt to migrate that
memory and fail right away because this memory is clearly not
migrateable.  This will become a real problem when we drop the retry
loop counter resp.  timeout.

The real problem is in has_unmovable_pages in fact.  We should fail if
there are any non migrateable pages in the area.  In orther to guarantee
that remove the migrate type checks because MIGRATE_MOVABLE is not
guaranteed to contain only migrateable pages.  It is merely a heuristic.
Similarly MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the page allocator doesn't
allocate any non-migrateable pages from the block but CMA allocations
themselves are unlikely to migrateable.  Therefore remove both checks.

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x4516): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_reserved_page() to the function .meminit.text:early_pfn_to_nid()
  The function init_reserved_page() references the function __meminit early_pfn_to_nid().
  This is often because init_reserved_page lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of early_pfn_to_nid is wrong.

On most compilers, we don't notice this because the function gets
inlined all the time.  Adding __meminit here fixes the harmless warning
for the old versions and is generally the correct annotation.

3a321d2a3d mm: change the call sites of numa statistics items 
Patch series "Separate NUMA statistics from zone statistics", v2.

Each page allocation updates a set of per-zone statistics with a call to
zone_statistics().  As discussed in 2017 MM summit, these are a
substantial source of overhead in the page allocator and are very rarely
consumed.  This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone
counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded
page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen).

A link to the MM summit slides:
  http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf

To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from
zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed
size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update
frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by
Ying Huang).  The rationality is that these statistics counters don't
need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem
to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive.

With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see
below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 benchmark.  Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style
of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only
move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch
for details).

I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently
using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based
server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold
of pcp counter.

framework, all the call sites of NUMA stats are changed to use

except that the number of NUMA stats is shown behind zone page stats

cd04ae1e2d mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access 
For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
to memory reserves.  There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
though.

First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.

Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
memory reserves depletion.  We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
for corner cases - e.g.  GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
was not the group leader.

Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable
after 1b51e65eab ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the
kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to
memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel
memory freeing.  We still want some access to reserves because we do not
want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory.  oom victims
will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so
aggressive to starve oom victims completely.

Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to
the half of the reserves.  This makes the access to reserves independent
on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim.  Also drop any usage
of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by
tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely
TIF_MEMDIE free finally.

CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach.

There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply
many tasks killed at once.  This change will allow such a usecase
without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

c41f012ade mm: rename global_page_state to global_zone_page_state 
global_page_state is error prone as a recent bug report pointed out [1].
It only returns proper values for zone based counters as the enum it
gets suggests.  We already have global_node_page_state so let's rename
global_page_state to global_zone_page_state to be more explicit here.
All existing users seems to be correct:

$ git grep "global_page_state(NR_" | sed 's@.*(\(NR_[A-Z_]*\)).*@\1@' | sort | uniq -c
      2 NR_BOUNCE
      2 NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES
     11 NR_FREE_PAGES
      1 NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB
      1 NR_MLOCK
      2 NR_PAGETABLE

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

b93e0f329e mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of zonelists_mutex 
zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f6439 ("mem-hotplug: fix
potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to
protect zonelist building from races.  This is no longer needed though
because both memory online and offline are fully serialized.  New users
have grown since then.

Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory
hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl
(see cfd3da1e49 ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes").  Let's
add a private lock for that purpose.  This will not prevent from seeing
halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big
deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will
eventually get a full picture.  The lock just makes sure we won't race
when updating watermarks leading to weird results.

Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock
for it as well.  This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more
robust to have a lock there.

While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline
depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or
device_lock.

11cd8638c3 mm, page_alloc: remove stop_machine from build_all_zonelists 
build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that
zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them.  This is is
just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we
can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba236 ("mm/memory-hotplug:
switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary
especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and
c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below).

Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone
becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory
during offline.  A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a
zone or try to work on one zone twice.  Both of these are something we
can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one
zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for
example.

Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really
provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted
half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not
the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a
zone missed.

I have run the pathological online/offline of the single memblock in the
movable zone while stressing the same small node with some memory
pressure.

quite a lot.

9d3be21bf9 mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization 
build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most
distant node.  As we do not know how many populated zones we will have
in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of
the zonelist by a NULL zone.  While this is functionally correct it is
quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists
users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation
or hit the OOM killer in the worst case.

We can do much better, though.  We can store the node ordering into an
already existing node_order array and then give this array to
build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once.
zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that
should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and
they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the
worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures.

While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather
confusing now.  It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the
updated index for the next iteration.  Let's rename the function to
build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref
array to update.  The function doesn't the index anymore.  It just
returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the
zonered array start for the next update.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it
is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

72675e131e mm, memory_hotplug: drop zone from build_all_zonelists 
build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets.
There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and
that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see
commit 6dcd73d701 ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before
onlining pages")).

Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it
from its only user directly.  This will also remove a pointless zonlists
rebuilding which is always good.

d9c9a0b972 mm, page_alloc: do not set_cpu_numa_mem on empty nodes initialization 
__build_all_zonelists reinitializes each online cpu local node for
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES.  This makes sense because previously
memory less nodes could gain some memory during memory hotplug and so
the local node should be changed for CPUs close to such a node.  It
makes less sense to do that unconditionally for a newly creaded NUMA
node which is still offline and without any memory.

Let's also simplify the cpu loop and use for_each_online_cpu instead of
an explicit cpu_online check for all possible cpus.

c9bff3eebc mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE 
Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1.

This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have
but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the
usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live.  Most patches are
straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration.

Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely.  I am CCing linux-api
because this is a user visible change.  As I argue in the patch
description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days.
I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to
configure zone lists ordering.  If somebody has a real usecase for it we
can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice
runtime differences.  This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but
it made patch 6 easier to implement.

Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any
special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_
is acceptable as explained in the changelog.  I hope I am not missing
anything.

Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and
not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking
my thinking.

This patch (of 9):

Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the
usefulness is arguable if existent at all.  Mel has already made node
ordering default on 64b systems.  32b systems are still using
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a
different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones.

This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim
has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented.  This means that
lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and
so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much.  So the only
advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when
highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem
pressure doesn't need to reclaim.

Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it
is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we
should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether.  Keep systcl in place and warn if
somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or
the sysctl.

c11525830f mm/memory_hotplug: just build zonelist for newly added node 
Commit 9adb62a5df ("mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists
when creating new pgdat") tries to build the correct zonelist for a
newly added node, while it is not necessary to rebuild it for already
exist nodes.

In build_zonelists(), it will iterate on nodes with memory.  For a newly
added node, it will have memory until node_states_set_node() is called
in online_pages().

This patch avoids rebuilding the zonelists for already existing nodes.

build_zonelists_node() uses managed_zone(zone) checks, so it should not
include empty zones anyway.  So effectively we avoid some pointless work
under stop_machine().

3010f87650 mm: discard memblock data later 
There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:

The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed.  See comment in e820__memblock_setup():

  * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
  * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
  * than that - so allow memblock resizing.

This memblock memory is freed here:
        free_low_memory_core_early()

We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:

        deferred_init_memmap()
                for_each_mem_pfn_range()
                  __next_mem_pfn_range()
                    type = &memblock.memory;

One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.

Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.

75dddef325 mm: ratelimit PFNs busy info message 
The RDMA subsystem can generate several thousand of these messages per
second eventually leading to a kernel crash.  Ratelimit these messages
to prevent this crash.

Doug said:
 "I've been carrying a version of this for several kernel versions. I
  don't remember when they started, but we have one (and only one) class
  of machines: Dell PE R730xd, that generate these errors. When it
  happens, without a rate limit, we get rcu timeouts and kernel oopses.
  With the rate limit, we just get a lot of annoying kernel messages but
  the machine continues on, recovers, and eventually the memory
  operations all succeed"

And:
 "> Well... why are all these EBUSY's occurring? It sounds inefficient
  > (at least) but if it is expected, normal and unavoidable then
  > perhaps we should just remove that message altogether?

  I don't have an answer to that question. To be honest, I haven't
  looked real hard. We never had this at all, then it started out of the
  blue, but only on our Dell 730xd machines (and it hits all of them),
  but no other classes or brands of machines. And we have our 730xd
  machines loaded up with different brands and models of cards (for
  instance one dedicated to mlx4 hardware, one for qib, one for mlx5, an
  ocrdma/cxgb4 combo, etc), so the fact that it hit all of the machines
  meant it wasn't tied to any particular brand/model of RDMA hardware.
  To me, it always smelled of a hardware oddity specific to maybe the
  CPUs or mainboard chipsets in these machines, so given that I'm not an
  mm expert anyway, I never chased it down.

  A few other relevant details: it showed up somewhere around 4.8/4.9 or
  thereabouts. It never happened before, but the prinkt has been there
  since the 3.18 days, so possibly the test to trigger this message was
  changed, or something else in the allocator changed such that the
  situation started happening on these machines?

  And, like I said, it is specific to our 730xd machines (but they are
  all identical, so that could mean it's something like their specific
  ram configuration is causing the allocator to hit this on these
  machine but not on other machines in the cluster, I don't want to say
  it's necessarily the model of chipset or CPU, there are other bits of
  identicalness between these machines)"

d507e2ebd2 mm: fix global NR_SLAB_.*CLAIMABLE counter reads 
As Tetsuo points out:
 "Commit 385386cff4 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
  node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly
  0kB"

In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from
overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during
suspend-to-disk.

This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.

Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.

Fixes: 385386cff4 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters")

d92a8cfcb3 locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation 
A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we
could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock
like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should
be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the
amount of __bfs() lookups we do.

Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per
dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this
annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people
to extend.

This also switched the stop_machine() invocation within
build_all_zonelists() to stop_machine_cpuslocked() which now expects
that online cpus are locked when being called.

This assumption is not true if build_all_zonelists() is being called
from numa_zonelist_order_handler().

In order to fix this simply add a mem_hotplug_begin()/mem_hotplug_done()
pair to numa_zonelist_order_handler().

dcda9b0471 mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic 
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.

Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic.  Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success.  This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior.  Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs.  cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)

 - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
   attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
   doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
   it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
   aggressive reclaim

 - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
   allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
   context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
   the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
   the request is a performance optimization and there is another
   fallback for a slow path.

 - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
   non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
   some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
   context with an expensive slow path fallback.

 - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
   _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
   allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
   that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
   (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
   reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
   is not invoked.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
   behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
   will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
   won't be triggered.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
   This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.

Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic.  No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.

This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

3f906ba236 mm/memory-hotplug: switch locking to a percpu rwsem 
Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and
the cpu hotplug lock.

The reason is that memory hotplug takes the memory hotplug lock and then
calls stop_machine() which calls get_online_cpus().  That's the reverse
lock order to get_online_cpus(); get_online_mems(); in mm/slub_common.c

The problem has been there forever.  The reason why this was never
reported is that the cpu hotplug locking had this homebrewn recursive
reader writer semaphore construct which due to the recursion evaded the
full lock dep coverage.  The memory hotplug code copied that construct
verbatim and therefor has similar issues.

Three steps to fix this:

1) Convert the memory hotplug locking to a per cpu rwsem so the
   potential issues get reported proper by lockdep.

2) Lock the online cpus in mem_hotplug_begin() before taking the memory
   hotplug rwsem and use stop_machine_cpuslocked() in the page_alloc
   code to avoid recursive locking.

3) The cpu hotpluck locking in #2 causes a recursive locking of the cpu
   hotplug lock via __offline_pages() -> lru_add_drain_all(). Solve this
   by invoking lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() instead.

b002529d25 mm/page_alloc.c: eliminate unsigned confusion in __rmqueue_fallback 
Since current_order starts as MAX_ORDER-1 and is then only decremented,
the second half of the loop condition seems superfluous.  However, if
order is 0, we may decrement current_order past 0, making it UINT_MAX.
This is obviously too subtle ([1], [2]).

Since we need to add some comment anyway, change the two variables to
signed, making the counting-down for loop look more familiar, and
apparently also making gcc generate slightly smaller code.

7a8f58f391 mm, page_alloc: fallback to smallest page when not stealing whole pageblock 
Since commit 3bc48f96cf ("mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page
in fallback") we pick the smallest (but sufficient) page of all that
have been stolen from a pageblock of different migratetype.  However,
there are cases when we decide not to steal the whole pageblock.

Practically in the current implementation it means that we are trying to
fallback for a MIGRATE_MOVABLE allocation of order X, go through the
freelists from MAX_ORDER-1 down to X, and find free page of order Y.  If
Y is less than pageblock_order / 2, we decide not to steal all pages
from the pageblock.  When Y > X, it means we are potentially splitting a
larger page than we need, as there might be other pages of order Z,
where X <= Z < Y.  Since Y is already too small to steal whole
pageblock, picking smallest available Z will result in the same decision
and we avoid splitting a higher-order page in a MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE or
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblock.

This patch therefore changes the fallback algorithm so that in the
situation described above, we switch the fallback search strategy to go
from order X upwards to find the smallest suitable fallback.  In theory
there shouldn't be a downside of this change wrt fragmentation.

This has been tested with mmtests' stress-highalloc performing
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, here is the relevant extfrag tracepoint
statistics:

                                                        4.12.0-rc2      4.12.0-rc2
                                                         1-kernel4       2-kernel4
  Page alloc extfrag event                                  25640976    69680977
  Extfrag fragmenting                                       25621086    69661364
  Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable                            74409       73204
  Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable            69003       67684
  Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim.            5406        5520
  Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable                           6398        8467
  Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable            869         884
  Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov.            5529        7583
  Extfrag fragmenting for movable                           25540279    69579693

Since we force movable allocations to steal the smallest available page
(which we then practially always split), we steal less per fallback, so
the number of fallbacks increases and steals potentially happen from
different pageblocks.  This is however not an issue for movable pages
that can be compacted.

Importantly, the "unmovable placed with movable" statistics is lower,
which is the result of less fragmentation in the unmovable pageblocks.
The effect on reclaimable allocation is a bit unclear.

f70029bbaa mm, memory_hotplug: drop CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE 
Commit 20b2f52b73 ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for
movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a
good explanation on why it is actually useful.

It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we
already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on
the kernel command line.  A config option on top only makes the
configuration space larger without a good reason.  It also adds an
additional ifdefery that pollutes the code.

Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled.  This
shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

385386cff4 mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters 
Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats"

Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page
cache.  For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec
level.  These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that
allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then
switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab
accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API.

I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually
substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller
when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM
accounting sites cgroup-aware.  But this is enough for Josef to base his
slab reclaim work on, so here goes.

This patch (of 5):

To re-implement slab cache vs.  page cache balancing, we'll need the
slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was
moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not
the zone, and the memcg.

We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps
its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels -
which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant.  But let's keep it
simple for now and just move them.  If anybody complains we can restore
the per-zone counters.
