      page_mapping must avoid slub pages · b9bae340
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Nicolas Ferre reports oops from flush_dcache_page() on ARM when using
SLUB: which reuses page->mapping as page->slab.  The page_mapping()
function, used by ARM and PA-RISC flush_dcache_page() implementations,
must not confuse SLUB pages with those which have page->mapping set.

      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      由 Alexey Dobriyan 提交于 
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

      [PATCH] simplify shmem_aops.set_page_dirty() method · 76719325
      由 Ken Chen 提交于 
      shmem backed file does not have page writeback, nor it participates in
backing device's dirty or writeback accounting.  So using generic
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers() for its .set_page_dirty aops method is a bit
overkill.  It unnecessarily prolongs shm unmap latency.

For example, on a densely populated large shm segment (sevearl GBs), the
unmapping operation becomes painfully long.  Because at unmap, kernel
transfers dirty bit in PTE into page struct and to the radix tree tag.  The
operation of tagging the radix tree is particularly expensive because it
has to traverse the tree from the root to the leaf node on every dirty
page.  What's bothering is that radix tree tag is used for page write back.
 However, shmem is memory backed and there is no page write back for such
file system.  And in the end, we spend all that time tagging radix tree and
none of that fancy tagging will be used.  So let's simplify it by introduce
a new aops __set_page_dirty_no_writeback and this will speed up shm unmap.

      [PATCH] zoneid: fix up calculations for ZONEID_PGSHIFT · bd8029b6
      由 Andy Whitcroft 提交于 
      Currently if we have a non-zero ZONES_SHIFT we assume we are able to rely
on that as the bottom edge of the ZONEID, if not then we use the
NODES_PGOFF as the right end of either NODES _or_ SECTION.  This latter is
more luck than judgement and would be incorrect if we reordered the
SECTION,NODE,ZONE options in the fields space.

Really what we want is the lower of the right hand end of the two fields we
are using (either NODE,ZONE or SECTION,ZONE).  Codify that explicitly.  As
always allow for there being no bits in either of the fields, such as might
be valid in a non-numa machine with only a zone NORMAL.

I have checked that the compiler is still able to constant fold all of this
away correctly.

      [PATCH] mm: make compound page destructor handling explicit · 33f2ef89
      由 Andy Whitcroft 提交于 
      Currently we we use the lru head link of the second page of a compound page
to hold its destructor.  This was ok when it was purely an internal
implmentation detail.  However, hugetlbfs overrides this destructor
violating the layering.  Abstract this out as explicit calls, also
introduce a type for the callback function allowing them to be type
checked.  For each callback we pre-declare the function, causing a type
error on definition rather than on use elsewhere.

      [PATCH] numa node ids are int, page_to_nid and zone_to_nid should return int · 25ba77c1
      由 Andy Whitcroft 提交于 
      NUMA node ids are passed as either int or unsigned int almost exclusivly
page_to_nid and zone_to_nid both return unsigned long.  This is a throw
back to when page_to_nid was a #define and was thus exposing the real type
of the page flags field.

In addition to fixing up the definitions of page_to_nid and zone_to_nid I
audited the users of these functions identifying the following incorrect
uses:

1) mm/page_alloc.c show_node() -- printk dumping the node id,
2) include/asm-ia64/pgalloc.h pgtable_quicklist_free() -- comparison
   against numa_node_id() which returns an int from cpu_to_node(), and
3) mm/mpolicy.c check_pte_range -- used as an index in node_isset which
   uses bit_set which in generic code takes an int.

      [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] · 89689ae7
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      The zone table is mostly not needed.  If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.

In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field.  In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.

The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags.  In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
 This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.

For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table.  The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

      [PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULT · 7f7bbbe5
      由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于 
      Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting
instruction.  It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again
in get_user_pages().  I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later
case.

The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I
don't see other ways of fixing it.

In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to
the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck
around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries
specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT.

And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of
memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video
ram and main meory.  To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page()
handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT.

(For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE
from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having
already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at
the proof-of-concept stage.  I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do
that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do
to create struct page for SPEs.  Basically, that provides a generic solution
for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that
I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too).

All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from
no_page() handlers.

      [PATCH] do_no_pfn() · f4b81804
      由 Jes Sorensen 提交于 
      Implement do_no_pfn() for handling mapping of memory without a struct page
backing it.  This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which
are not backed by real memory.

This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is
highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for
instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in
parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data
corruption on some architectures, such as ia64).

This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than
expect all negative pfn values would be an error.  It also bugs on cow
mappings as this would not work with the VM.

      [PATCH] own header file for struct page · 5b99cd0e
      由 Heiko Carstens 提交于 
      This moves the definition of struct page from mm.h to its own header file
page-struct.h.  This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on
s390:

#define SetPageUptodate(_page)
       do {
               struct page *__page = (_page);
               if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags))
                       page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page);
       } while (0)

_page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs.  Using
__page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes
yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well.

In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good
idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions.
Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate
header file for the struct page definition.

      [PATCH] Allow an arch to expand node boundaries · fb01439c

      Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node
(pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was
registered by the architecture.  However, when
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the
spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that
is used lated on memory hot-add.

This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE
to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to
at *least* the requested boundary.

      [PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory · c713216d
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active
ranges of page frames are located.  Once located, the code to calculate zone
sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar.  Some of this zone and
hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason.  This set of patches
eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code.

The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the
active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range().  When all areas have
been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and
zones.  The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture
independent manner.

Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges
Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable.
	It adjusts the watermarks slightly

Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig,
gensparse_defconfig and defconfig.  Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on
IA64.  Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based
machine.  These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these
patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3.

There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code
for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes
but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present.

The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of
architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy.  There should be a
greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone
and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

This patch:

Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node
in an architecture independent manner.  Architectures are expected to register
active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call
free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

      [PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages · d08b3851
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.

The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
write-fault, make writeable and set dirty.  On page write-back clean all the
PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.

The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained.  Hence it is not
enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.

The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
 - its shared writeable
    (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
 - it is not a 'special' mapping
    (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
    mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
 - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection

Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
because they don't have a backing store anyway.

mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well.  However it overrides
the last condition.

Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
also wrprotect the PTE.

Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
under ->private_lock.  This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.  This is needed because
clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
locking order.

      [PATCH] mm: VM_BUG_ON · 725d704e
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Introduce a VM_BUG_ON, which is turned on with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.  Use this
in the lightweight, inline refcounting functions; PageLRU and PageActive
checks in vmscan, because they're pretty well confined to vmscan.  And in
page allocate/free fastpaths which can be the hottest parts of the kernel
for kbuilds.

Unlike BUG_ON, VM_BUG_ON must not be used to execute statements with
side-effects, and should not be used outside core mm code.
