hi Jorge, do u think we need sync the patches b/t 3.18 and v4.0? Or if u prefer this branch is only used to sync w/t kernel's mainline branch, and don't merge this patch series, it will be fine.

I just want to know the working model.

yes I am aware of these pending commits. @koenkooi has been merging hikey to the the tracking branch. allow us to review/discuss and proceed with the merge (it seems that you have already done the necessary changes anyway to adapt to mainline so there should be no issues - I see no conflicts in your commit)

Got it, thanks Jorge.

This has been merged manually a few days ago, the mainline tracking branch (hikey-mainline-rebase) has the cpufreq commits.

When freqdomain_cpus attribute is read from an offlined cpu, it will
cause crash. This change prevents calling cpufreq_show_cpus when
policy driver_data is NULL.

Dave Chinner has properly pointed out that this is a deadlock in the
reclaim code because ext4 doesn't submit pages which are marked by
PG_writeback right away.

The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384 ("memcg: prevent OOM
with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs
was specified.  The code has been changed by c3b94f4 ("memcg:
further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the
__GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs
code.  But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't
necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away.

ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily
submit the bio.  Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and
mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up
waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted
yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes.

Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2)
before we go to wait on the writeback.  The page fault path, which is
the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't
require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM
killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic.

As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already
so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem.  Moreover he notes:

: For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion
: which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The
: writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten
: extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on
: page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not
: safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.
