memcg: fix oops on NULL lru list
While testing force_empty, during an exit_mmap, __mem_cgroup_remove_list
called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page oopsed on a NULL pointer in the lru list.
I couldn't see what racing tasks on other cpus were doing, but surmise that
another must have been in mem_cgroup_charge_common on the same page, between
its unlock_page_cgroup and spin_lock_irqsave near done (thanks to that kzalloc
which I'd almost changed to a kmalloc).
Normally such a race cannot happen, the ref_cnt prevents it, the final
uncharge cannot race with the initial charge. But force_empty buggers the
ref_cnt, that's what it's all about; and thereafter forced pages are
vulnerable to races such as this (just think of a shared page also mapped into
an mm of another mem_cgroup than that just emptied). And remain vulnerable
until they're freed indefinitely later.
This patch just fixes the oops by moving the unlock_page_cgroups down below
adding to and removing from the list (only possible given the previous patch);
and while we're at it, we might as well make it an invariant that
page->page_cgroup is always set while pc is on lru.
But this behaviour of force_empty seems highly unsatisfactory to me: why have
a ref_cnt if we always have to cope with it being violated (as in the earlier
page migration patch). We may prefer force_empty to move pages to an orphan
mem_cgroup (could be the root, but better not), from which other cgroups could
recover them; we might need to reverse the locking again; but no time now for
such concerns.
As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler. It is possible to
make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing
page_cgroups by itself. The tip is to call get_page() before invoking
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this
function.
Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges,
the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and
now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the
same as when it hasn't gone to another list.
And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock,
mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while
holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).

memcg: fix mem_cgroup_move_lists locking
Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went
into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines,
sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually
produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last.
The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the
arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list
neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole
independently.
The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to
safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I
couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for
comments on the constraints.
This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but
is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we
need to come back to it later?

completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know
there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be
defensive and reverse the ordering there.

Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be
atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where
force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's
atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?).
Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is
attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to
check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it
doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

Move that mem_cgroup_charge down to where we're sure it's a migration entry.
We were already under i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock, so its GFP_KERNEL was
already inappropriate: change that to GFP_ATOMIC.

alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu data
Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were
very surprising.
For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles
to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use
percpu data
struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears
that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line,
instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line.
Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks
( 6 % in tbench)
(all percpu_counters hit this bug too)
Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own
block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or
merging the SGI stuff of course...
Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they
dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This
could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched
to SLUB.

PCI: Add DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro
The definitions of struct pci_device_id arrays should generally follow
the same pattern across the entire kernel. This macro defines this
array as const and puts it into the __devinitconst section.
There are currently many definitions scattered about the kernel that
omit the __devinitdata modifier despite the documentation stating that
it should always be there. These definitions really also should have
been const, which wasn't possible before but has become so with the
addition of the __devinitconst attribute.
Furthermore, there are definitions that use "const" and __devinitdata,
which is explicitly wrong but the compiler doesn't catch section
mismatches if there's only one such one case in the module (which is
often the case).
Adding the __devinitconst modifier where there was nothing before buys
us memory. Adding the const modifier gives the compiler a chance to do
its thing. Changing __devinitdata to __devinitconst where it was wrong
actually fixes some compiler errors in older (mid-release) kernels that
were patched over by "removing" the section attribute altogether (which
wastes memory).
This macro makes it pretty difficult to get this definition wrong in
the future...
