2009-01-08memcg: revert gfp mask fixKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
My patch, memcg-fix-gfp_mask-of-callers-of-charge.patch changed gfp_mask of callers of charge to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE for showing what will happen at memory reclaim. But in recent discussion, it's NACKed because it sounds ugly. This patch is for reverting it and add some clean up to gfp_mask of callers of charge. No behavior change but need review before generating HUNK in deep queue. This patch also adds explanation to meaning of gfp_mask passed to charge functions in memcontrol.h.

When memcg hit limit and calls OOM at page_fault, this handler called and system-wide-oom handling happens. (means kernel panics if panic_on_oom is true....) To avoid overkill, check memcg's recent behavior before starting system-wide-oom. And this patch also fixes to guarantee "don't accnout against process with TIF_MEMDIE".

2009-01-08memcg: memory cgroup resource counters for hierarchyBalbir Singh
Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters. Cgroups allows us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy. This patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts. These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches posted by Pavel Emelianov. NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging the all the way up to the root. It is known that hiearchies are expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs before creating very deep ones.

2009-01-08memcg: synchronized LRUKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics. Now, - page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone). - LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU. - page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated. - To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as - lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc); - SwapCache is handled. And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following. pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page); lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1) mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc); spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock); .....add to LRU spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock); unlock_page_cgroup(pc); But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock. So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct. This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks. This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock. Then, above sequence will be written as spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() { pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page); mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc); if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) { ....add to LRU } spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU This is much simpler. (*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because.. 1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified. - at charge. - at account_move(). 2. at charge the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed. 3. at account_move() the page is isolated and not on LRU. Pros. - easy for maintenance. - memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec. - we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup. - LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one. - # of locks are reduced. - account_move() is simplified very much. Cons. - may increase cost of LRU rotation. (no impact if memcg is not configured.)

2009-01-08memcg: mem+swap controller coreKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap. However there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is avoided. Mem+Swap controller works as following. - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes. - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes. This has following benefits. - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap. Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.) We can avoid this case. And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory) until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg. Assume group A and group B. After some application executes, the system can be.. Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap. Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full. Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required. Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?" - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of mem+swap. In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap. Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is per swap entry record. Charge is done as following. map - charge page and memsw. unmap - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache. swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache) - uncharge page - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup. swap-in (do_swap_page) - charged as page and memsw. record in swap_cgroup is cleared. memsw accounting is decremented. swap-free (swap_free()) - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE. There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an overhead. This overhead is avoided by config or boot option. (see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.) TODO: - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.) But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

2009-01-08memcg: swap cgroup for remembering usageKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least. This patch adds following function. - swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon - swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff. - swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry. - swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry. This patch just implements "how to record information". No actual method for limit the usage of swap. These routine uses flat table to record and lookup. "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation. (maybe dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory allocation in memory shortage path.) Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means 8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

2009-01-08memcg: handle swap cachesKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
SwapCache support for memory resource controller (memcg) Before mem+swap controller, memcg itself should handle SwapCache in proper way. This is cut-out from it. In current memcg, SwapCache is just leaked and the user can create tons of SwapCache. This is a leak of account and should be handled. SwapCache accounting is done as following. charge (anon) - charged when it's mapped. (because of readahead, charge at add_to_swap_cache() is not sane) uncharge (anon) - uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and fully unmapped. means it's not uncharged at unmap. Note: delete from swap cache at swap-in is done after rmap information is established. charge (shmem) - charged at swap-in. this prevents charge at add_to_page_cache(). uncharge (shmem) - uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and not on shmem's radix-tree. at migration, check against 'old page' is modified to handle shmem. Comparing to the old version discussed (and caused troubles), we have advantages of - PCG_USED bit. - simple migrating handling. So, situation is much easier than several months ago, maybe.

2009-01-08memcg: simple migration handlingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, management of "charge" under page migration is done under following manner. (Assume migrate page contents from oldpage to newpage) before - "newpage" is charged before migration. at success. - "oldpage" is uncharged at somewhere(unmap, radix-tree-replace) at failure - "newpage" is uncharged. - "oldpage" is charged if necessary (*1) But (*1) is not reliable....because of GFP_ATOMIC. This patch tries to change behavior as following by charge/commit/cancel ops. before - charge PAGE_SIZE (no target page) success - commit charge against "newpage". failure - commit charge against "oldpage". (PCG_USED bit works effectively to avoid double-counting) - if "oldpage" is obsolete, cancel charge of PAGE_SIZE.

2009-01-08memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functionsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
There is a small race in do_swap_page(). When the page swapped-in is charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0. But, at the same time some process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is uncharged. CPUA CPUB mapcount == 1. (1) charge if mapcount==0 zap_pte_range() (2) mapcount 1 => 0. (3) uncharge(). (success) (4) set page's rmap() mapcount 0=>1 Then, this swap page's account is leaked. For fixing this, I added a new interface. - charge account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary. - commit register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary. - cancel uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure. CPUA (1) charge (always) (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0) (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte(). This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting. Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time. And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges. - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge() called against newly allocated anon pages. - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup() called only from remove_migration_ptes(). we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior) This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration clearer. Good for clarifying "what we do" Then, we have 4 following charge points. - newpage - swap-in - add-to-cache. - migration.

2009-01-08jbd: improve fsync batchingJosef Bacik
There is a flaw with the way jbd handles fsync batching. If we fsync() a file and we were not the last person to run fsync() on this fs then we automatically sleep for 1 jiffie in order to wait for new writers to join into the transaction before forcing the commit. The problem with this is that with really fast storage (ie a Clariion) the time it takes to commit a transaction to disk is way faster than 1 jiffie in most cases, so sleeping means waiting longer with nothing to do than if we just committed the transaction and kept going. Ric Wheeler noticed this when using fs_mark with more than 1 thread, the throughput would plummet as he added more threads. This patch attempts to fix this problem by recording the average time in nanoseconds that it takes to commit a transaction to disk, and what time we started the transaction. If we run an fsync() and we have been running for less time than it takes to commit the transaction to disk, we sleep for the delta amount of time and then commit to disk. We acheive sub-jiffie sleeping using schedule_hrtimeout. This means that the wait time is auto-tuned to the speed of the underlying disk, instead of having this static timeout. I weighted the average according to somebody's comments (Andreas Dilger I think) in order to help normalize random outliers where we take way longer or way less time to commit than the average. I also have a min() check in there to make sure we don't sleep longer than a jiffie in case our storage is super slow, this was requested by Andrew. I unfortunately do not have access to a Clariion, so I had to use a ramdisk to represent a super fast array. I tested with a SATA drive with barrier=1 to make sure there was no regression with local disks, I tested with a 4 way multipathed Apple Xserve RAID array and of course the ramdisk. I ran the following command fs_mark -d /mnt/ext3-test -s 4096 -n 2000 -D 64 -t $i where $i was 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. I mkfs'ed the fs each time.

2009-01-08ext2: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separatelyPekka J Enberg
As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext2_sb_info is 17024 bytes on 64-bit which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when NR_CPUS >= 32. To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2 page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext2_sb_info enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of 32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

2009-01-08xen: add xenfs to allow usermode <-> Xen interactionAlex Zeffertt
The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode. Initially this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore. Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen. Rather than extending procfs, this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

2009-01-07PCI hotplug: introduce functions for ACPI slot detectionKenji Kaneshige
Some ACPI related PCI hotplug code can be shared among PCI hotplug drivers. This patch introduces the following functions in drivers/pci/hotplug/acpi_pcihp.c to share the code, and changes acpiphp and pciehp to use them. - int acpi_pci_detect_ejectable(struct pci_bus *pbus) This checks if the specified PCI bus has ejectable slots. - int acpi_pci_check_ejectable(struct pci_bus *pbus, acpi_handle handle) This checks if the specified handle is ejectable ACPI PCI slot. The 'pbus' parameter is needed to check if 'handle' is PCI related ACPI object. This patch also introduces the following inline function in include/linux/pci-acpi.h, which is useful to get ACPI handle of the PCI bridge from struct pci_bus of the bridge's secondary bus. - static inline acpi_handle acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle(struct pci_bus *pbus) This returns ACPI handle of the PCI bridge which generates PCI bus specified by 'pbus'.

2009-01-07resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device driversArjan van de Ven
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device. As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings. This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned. NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set. In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field, drivers issues from userspace.
