bad_range is supposed to be a temporary check. It would be a pity to throw it
out. Make it depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM instead.
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE systems were relying on this to check pfn_valid in the
page allocator. Add that to page_is_buddy instead.

Minor optimization (though it doesn't help in the PREEMPT case, severely
constrained by small ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE). free_pages_and_swap_cache works in
chunks of 16, calling release_pages which works in chunks of PAGEVEC_SIZE.
But PAGEVEC_SIZE was dropped from 16 to 14 in 2.6.10, so we're now doing more
spin_lock_irq'ing than necessary: use PAGEVEC_SIZE throughout.

Before SPARSEMEM is initialised we cannot provide an efficient pfn_to_nid()
implmentation; before initialisation is complete we use early_pfn_to_nid()
to provide location information. Until recently there was no non-init user
of this functionality. Provide a post init pfn_to_nid() implementation.
Note that this implmentation assumes that the pfn passed has been validated
with pfn_valid(). The current single user of this function already has
this check.

There are three places we define pfn_to_nid(). Two in linux/mmzone.h and one
in asm/mmzone.h. These in essence represent the three memory models. The
definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM
definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM
is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the
discontigmem one. This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the
connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models.
Two patches:
flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid()
implementations. The selection is based primarily off the memory model
selected. Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed.
sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM
This patch:
pfn_to_nid is memory model specific
The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific. It represents the locality
identifier for the memory passed. Classically this would be a NUMA node,
but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM.
The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid()
are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its
own optimisation. This is all very confusing.
This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can
see them and the optimisations to each.

The NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES config option was created so that DISCONTIGMEM
could handle pSeries numa layouts. However, support for DISCONTIGMEM has
been replaced by SPARSEMEM on powerpc. As a result, this config option and
supporting code is no longer needed.
I have already sent a patch to Paul that removes the option from powerpc
specific code. This removes the arch independent piece. Doesn't really

The number of parameters for find_or_alloc_page increases significantly after
policy support is added to huge pages. Simplify the code by folding
find_or_alloc_huge_page() into hugetlb_no_page().
Adam Litke objected to this piece in an earlier patch but I think this is a
good simplification. Diffstat shows that we can get rid of almost half of the
lines of find_or_alloc_page(). If we can find no consensus then lets simply
drop this patch.

mempolicy.c contains provisional interface for huge page allocation based on
node numbers. This is in use in SLES9 but was never used (AFAIK) in upstream
versions of Linux.
Huge page allocations now use zonelists to figure out where to allocate pages.
The use of zonelists allows us to find the closest hugepage which was the
consideration of the NUMA distance for huge page allocations.

The huge_zonelist() function in the memory policy layer provides an list of
zones ordered by NUMA distance. The hugetlb layer will walk that list looking
for a zone that has available huge pages but is also in the nodeset of the
current cpuset.
This patch does not contain the folding of find_or_alloc_huge_page() that was
controversial in the earlier discussion.

This was discussed at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113166526217117&w=2
This patch changes the dequeueing to select a huge page near the node
executing instead of always beginning to check for free nodes from node 0.
This will result in a placement of the huge pages near the executing
processor improving performance.
The existing implementation can place the huge pages far away from the
executing processor causing significant degradation of performance. The
search starting from zero also means that the lower zones quickly run out
of memory. Selecting a huge page near the process distributed the huge
pages better.

Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be
supported. This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more
applications. The patch makes the following changes. If needed, I also have
it broken out according to the following paragraphs.
1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes. The
writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW
later.
2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following
situations:
- copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so
a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written
to.
- find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the
page cache. MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however.
3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and
hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy.
4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps
will be allowed. Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED
mapping check.

This patch splits the "no_page()" type activity into its own function,
hugetlb_no_page(). hugetlb_fault() becomes the entry point for hugetlb faults
and delegates to the appropriate handler depending on the type of fault.
Right now we still have only hugetlb_no_page() but a later patch introduces a
COW fault.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

This patch makes truncate_inode_pages_range from truncate_inode_pages.
truncate_inode_pages became a one-liner call to truncate_inode_pages_range.
Reiser4 needs truncate_inode_pages_ranges because it tries to keep
correspondence between existences of metadata pointing to data pages and pages
to which those metadata point to. So, when metadata of certain part of file
is removed from filesystem tree, only pages of corresponding range are to be
truncated.

Two changes to the setting of the ALLOC_CPUSET flag in
mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages()
- A bug fix - the "ignoring mins" case should not be honoring ALLOC_CPUSET.
This case of all cases, since it is handling a request that will free up
more memory than is asked for (exiting tasks, e.g.) should be allowed to
escape cpuset constraints when memory is tight.
- A logic change to make it simpler. Honor cpusets even on GFP_ATOMIC
(!wait) requests. With this, cpuset confinement applies to all requests
except ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, so that in a subsequent cleanup patch, I can
remove the ALLOC_CPUSET flag entirely. Since I don't know any real reason
this logic has to be either way, I am choosing the path of the simplest
code.

machines.
The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many
of the middle-order bits. (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse).
IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in
the low-order bits. As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these
bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do
not contribute to the hash. Thus you can have the situation where all
clients appear on one hash chain.
So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that
works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together.

Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt. reported numerous crashes involving the
NBD driver. With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors
which in turn was the result of a race condition between the
receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver.
The bug manifests itself like this:
CPU0 CPU1
do_nbd_request
add req to queuelist
nbd_send_request
send req head
for each bio
kmap
send
nbd_read_stat
nbd_find_request
nbd_end_request
kunmap
When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated
bio's are freed. So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from
the last bio, it may crash.
Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio. However,
if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect
magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is
possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's
addition to the queuelist.
The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not
added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission.
In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving
requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the
active request.
When a response matches the current active request, its processing is
delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop.
This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this
race condition.
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Some PCMCIA sockets have statically mapped memory windows, but dynamically
mapped IO windows. Using the "nonstatic" socket library is inpractical for
them, as they do neither need a resource database (as we can trust the
kernel resource database on m68k and ppc) nor lots of other features of that
library. Let them get a small "iodyn" socket library (105 lines of code)
