free_hot_page() is just a wrapper around free_hot_cold_page() with
parameter 'cold = 0'. After adding a clear comment for
free_hot_cold_page(), it is reasonable to remove a level of call.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

Move a call of trace_mm_page_free_direct() from free_hot_page() to
free_hot_cold_page(). It is clearer and close to kmemcheck_free_shadow(),
as it is done in function __free_pages_ok().Signed-off-by: Li Hong

Commit cf40bd16fd ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context") introduced reclaim
context annotation. But it didn't annotate zone reclaim. This patch do
it.The point is, commit cf40bd16fd annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim but
zone-reclaim doesn't use __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim.current call graph is
__alloc_pages_nodemask
get_page_from_freelist
zone_reclaim()
__alloc_pages_slowpath
__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim
try_to_free_pagesActually, if zone_reclaim_mode=1, VM never call
__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in usual VM pressure.Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro

Kswapd checks that zone has sufficient pages free via zone_watermark_ok().
If any zone doesn't have enough pages, we set all_zones_ok to zero.
!all_zone_ok makes kswapd retry rather than sleeping.I think the watermark check before shrink_zone() is pointless. Only after
kswapd has tried to shrink the zone is the check meaningful.Move the check to after the call to shrink_zone().

A frequent questions from users about memory management is what numbers of
swap ents are user for processes. And this information will give some
hints to oom-killer.Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning
/proc//smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process
information handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'. (ps or top is now
enough slow..)This patch adds a counter of swapents to mm_counter and update is at each
swap events. Information is exported via /proc//status file as[kamezawa@bluextal memory]$ cat /proc/self/status

Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among
threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
[before]
4.5 cache-miss/faults
[after]
4.0 cache-miss/faults
Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]
