Subject: [PATCH v10 01/16] vrange: Add vrange support to mm_structs
This patch adds vroot on mm_struct so process can set volatile
ranges on anonymous memory.
This is somewhat wasteful, as it increases the mm struct even
if the process doesn't use vrange syscall. So a later patch
will provide dynamically allocated vroots.
One of note on this patch is vrange_fork. Since we do allocations
while holding a lock on the vrange, its possible it could deadlock
with direct reclaim's purging logic. For this reason, vrange_fork
uses GFP_NOIO for its allocations.
If vrange_fork fails, it isn't a critical problem. Since the result
is the child process's pages won't be volatile/purgable, which
could cause additional memory pressure, but won't cause problematic
application behavior (since volatile pages are only purged at the
kernels' discretion). This is thought to be more desirable then
having fork fail.
NOTE: Additionally, as a optimization point, we could remove pages
like MADV_DONTNEED instantly when we see the allocation fail.
There would be no point to make new volatile ranges when memory
pressure was already tight.
