[merged] mm-page_owner-use-stackdepot-to-store-stacktrace.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_owner-use-stackdepot-to-store-stacktrace.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace

Currently, we store each page's allocation stacktrace on corresponding
page_ext structure and it requires a lot of memory.  This causes the
problem that memory tight system doesn't work well if page_owner is
enabled.  Moreover, even with this large memory consumption, we cannot get
full stacktrace because we allocate memory at boot time and just maintain
8 stacktrace slots to balance memory consumption.  We could increase it to
more but it would make system unusable or change system behaviour.

To solve the problem, this patch uses stackdepot to store stacktrace.  It
obviously provides memory saving but there is a drawback that stackdepot
could fail.

stackdepot allocates memory at runtime so it could fail if system has not
enough memory.  But, most of allocation stack are generated at very early
time and there are much memory at this time.  So, failure would not happen
easily.  And, one failure means that we miss just one page's allocation
stacktrace so it would not be a big problem.  In this patch, when memory
allocation failure happens, we store special stracktrace handle to the
page that is failed to save stacktrace.  With it, user can guess memory
usage properly even if failure happens.

Memory saving looks as following.  (4GB memory system with page_owner)
(before the patch -> after the patch)

static allocation:
92274688 bytes -> 25165824 bytes

dynamic allocation after boot + kernel build:
0 bytes -> 327680 bytes

total:
92274688 bytes -> 25493504 bytes

72% reduction in total.

Note that implementation looks complex than someone would imagine because
there is recursion issue.  stackdepot uses page allocator and page_owner
is called at page allocation.  Using stackdepot in page_owner could
re-call page allcator and then page_owner.  That is a recursion.  To
detect and avoid it, whenever we obtain stacktrace, recursion is checked
and page_owner is set to dummy information if found.  Dummy information
means that this page is allocated for page_owner feature itself (such as
stackdepot) and it's understandable behavior for user.
