[PATCH 1/3] ksm: clean up obsolete references

[PATCH 1/3] ksm: clean up obsolete references

[Hugh Dickins]

A few cleanups, given the munlock fix: the comment on ksm_test_exit()
no longer applies, and it can be made private to ksm.c; there's no
more reference to mmu_gather or tlb.h, and mmap.c doesn't need ksm.h.

[PATCH 2/3] ksm: unmerge is an origin of OOMs

[Hugh Dickins]

Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various
processes, perhaps triggering OOM, so "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run"
(unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes,
perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin
process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds.

So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we
treat try_to_unuse(): generalize PF_SWAPOFF to PF_OOM_ORIGIN, and
bracket both with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first,
to prevent them from spawning more and more OOM kills.

[PATCH 3/3] ksm: mremap use err from ksm_madvise

[Hugh Dickins]

mremap move's use of ksm_madvise() was assuming -ENOMEM on failure,
because ksm_madvise used to say -EAGAIN for that; but ksm_madvise now
says -ENOMEM (letting madvise convert that to -EAGAIN), and can also
say -ERESTARTSYS when signalled: so pass the error from ksm_madvise.
