2008-04-28vmalloc: show vmalloced areas via /proc/vmallocinfoChristoph Lameter
Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated vmalloc memory. It allows to see the users of vmalloc. That is important if vmalloc space is scarce (i386 for example). And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc. Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback. This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no longer necessary to access the memory. /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how that reduction occurs. If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations fell back to virtual compound pages. That is important for new users of virtual compound pages. Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may fallback to virtual compound pages in the future. /proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible information leakage.

2008-04-28mempolicy: fix parsing of tmpfs mpol mount optionLee Schermerhorn
Parsing of new mode flags in the tmpfs mpol mount option is slightly broken: Setting a valid flag works OK: #mount -o remount,mpol=bind=static:1-2 /dev/shm #mount ... tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind=static:1-2) ... However, we can't remove them or change them, once we've set a valid flag: #mount -o remount,mpol=bind:1-2 /dev/shm #mount ... tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind:1-2) ... It SAYS it removed it, but that's just a copy of the input string. If we now try to set it to a different flag, we get: #mount -o remount,mpol=bind=relative:1-2 /dev/shm mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option And on the console, we see: tmpfs: Bad value 'bind' for mount option 'mpol' ^ lost remainder of string Furthermore, bogus flags are accepted with out error. Granted, they are a no-op: #mount -o remount,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3 /dev/shm #mount ... tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3) Again, that's just a copy of the input string shown by the mount command. This patch fixes the behavior by pre-zeroing the flags so that only one of the mutually exclusive flags can be set at one time. It also reports an error when an unrecognized flag is specified. The check for both flags being set is removed because it can't happen with this implementation. If we ever want to support multiple non-exclusive flags, this area will need rework and we will need to check that any mutually exclusive flags aren't specified.

2008-04-28mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred modeDavid Rientjes
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely local allocations). They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement. Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations.

Eventually it may be beneficial to add additional functions to accomodate the existing switch() statements in mm/mempolicy.c.

2008-04-28mempolicy: add MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flagDavid Rientjes
Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative to the current task's mems_allowed. When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto the current task's mems_allowed. For example, consider a task using set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a nodemask of 1-3. If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is 5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed). If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound each time the mems are changed. Some possible rebinds and results are: mems result 1-3 1-3 1-7 2-4 1,5-6 1,5-6 1,5-7 5-7 Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap. In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently effected nodemask to the relative nodemask. This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.

2008-04-28mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operationsPaul Jackson
The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(), with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another. If the n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask. The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz value. There are two substantive changes between this patch and its predecessor bitmap_relative: 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto(). 2) Added bitmap_fold(). The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask. Cpuset relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N. The bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. These bitmap operators (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset. Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies: 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset relative mempolicy because there is an essential race condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in between the time the task can query its cpuset placement, and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or set_memplicy system call. 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for, because the existing interface only allows specifying mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset. Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the various CPUs and Nodes available. The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following example. Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset relative) nodes 12-15. Then lets say that application is crammed into a cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7. If one just uses bitmap_onto(), this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes. That's not good; better to fold the higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped mempolicy. In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy specifying nodes 4-7.

2008-04-28mempolicy: add MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flagDavid Rientjes
Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the node remap when the policy is rebound. Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of a union with cpuset_mems_allowed: struct mempolicy { ... union { nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed; nodemask_t user_nodemask; } w; } that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind(). When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating the interleave nodemask. This happens whenever the policy is rebound, including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are changed. This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy "intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that it desires. For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created and the task continues to use the previous policy. With this change, however, it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access to nodes in the nodemask is acquired. It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when specifying a node or nodemask. To do this, simply add "=static" immediately following the mempolicy mode at mount time: mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3 Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it is now obsoleted. The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.

2008-04-28mempolicy: support optional mode flagsDavid Rientjes
With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances. The most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind. Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy' formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall. A new constant, MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be passed as part of this int. Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of their policy are rejected as invalid. An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags: struct mempolicy { ... unsigned short policy; unsigned short flags; } The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls. This is done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct mempolicy. The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain unchanged. The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the user in get_mempolicy(). This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either switch (policy) { case MPOL_BIND: ... case MPOL_INTERLEAVE: ... }; statements or if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) { ... } statements. Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements to stop working. If an application does start using optional mode flags, it will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional statements that only test mode. An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the optional mode flags.

2008-04-28mempolicy: convert MPOL constants to enumDavid Rientjes
The mempolicy mode constants, MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_PREFERRED, MPOL_BIND, and MPOL_INTERLEAVE, are better declared as part of an enum since they are sequentially numbered and cannot be combined. The policy member of struct mempolicy is also converted from type short to type unsigned short. A negative policy does not have any legitimate meaning, so it is possible to change its type in preparation for adding optional mode flags later. The equivalent member of struct shmem_sb_info is also changed from int to unsigned short. For compatibility, the policy formal to get_mempolicy() remains as a pointer to an int: int get_mempolicy(int *policy, unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode, unsigned long addr, unsigned long flags); although the only possible values is the range of type unsigned short.

2008-04-28mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_maskMel Gorman
The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist. A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with available memory.

2008-04-28mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idxMel Gorman
Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

2008-04-28mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP maskMel Gorman
Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

2008-04-28mm: remember what the preferred zone is for zone_statisticsMel Gorman
On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and foreign. It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.

2008-04-28mm: introduce node_zonelist() for accessing the zonelist for a GFP maskMel Gorman
Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.

2008-04-28mm: use zonelists instead of zones when direct reclaiming pagesMel Gorman
The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters only custom zonelists. The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist. The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the set. The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist. The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE. The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node indices of entries in a zonelist. The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask. Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for __GFP_THISNODE. Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing of zonelists. These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA. loss to gain Total CPU time on Kernbench: -0.86% to 1.13% Elapsed time on Kernbench: -0.79% to 0.76% page_test from aim9: -4.37% to 0.79% brk_test from aim9: -0.71% to 4.07% fork_test from aim9: -1.84% to 4.60% exec_test from aim9: -0.71% to 1.08% This patch: The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

2008-04-28fix invalidate_inode_pages2_range() to not clear retHisashi Hifumi
DIO invalidates page cache through invalidate_inode_pages2_range(). invalidate_inode_pages2_range() sets ret=-EIO when invalidate_complete_page2() fails, but this ret is cleared if do_launder_page() succeed on a page of next index. In this case, dio is carried out even if invalidate_complete_page2() fails on some pages. This can cause inconsistency between memory and blocks on HDD because the page cache still exists.

2008-04-28Remove set_migrateflags()Christoph Lameter
Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was active when a new slab page was allocated. This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it. The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any effect there. Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree slabs will also be accounted as such. There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

2008-04-28hotplug-memory: make online_page() commonJeremy Fitzhardinge
All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually identical; x86-32 is slightly different. x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into add_one_highpage_init. I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

2008-04-28rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic frameworkDavid Brownell
Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled: - If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver; - When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default; - In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when the generic framework is in use. People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to. This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver. Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial list of ones where it won't. Or better yet, it would depend on a "HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ... surely there's a Kconfig style guideline lurking there.
