Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

tlb_finish_mmu used to batch zap_pte_range's update of mm rss, which may be worthwhile if the mm is contended, and would reduce atomic operations if the counts were atomic. Let zap_pte_range now batch its updates to file_rss and anon_rss, per page-table in case we drop the lock outside; and copy_pte_range batch them too.

I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss. That got stranger when I added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros. And it would no longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock. Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that). And forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative - if rss does go negative, just fix that bug. Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use was being made of them. But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush. arm26 seems to prefer spaces to tabs here: respect that.

tlb_is_full_mm? What does that mean? The TLB is full? No, it means that the mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down. And it's an inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better) "tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm". And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64. Rather than correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

Speeding up mremap's moving of ptes has never been a priority, but the locking will get more complicated shortly, and is already too baroque. Scrap the current one-by-one moving, do an extent at a time: curtailed by end of src and dst pmds (have to use PMD_SIZE: the way pmd_addr_end gets elided doesn't match this usage), and by latency considerations. One nice property of the old method is lost: it never allocated a page table unless absolutely necessary, so you could free empty page tables by mremapping to and fro. Whereas this way, it allocates a dst table wherever there was a src table. I keep diving in to reinstate the old behaviour, then come out preferring not to clutter how it now is.

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page, do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their arguments in the same order, called the same names? break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page. do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear vmas, so just check that. BUG_ON if not? Better not, it's probably page table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too. Hah! Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it: restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free. The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier, in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem). This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock. But testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.

Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted. Ref: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4 However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon (). try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap cache. Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but agrees that it might happen. This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the cache.

It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page fault. This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the page fault code does. This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and "turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding the token is thrashing. Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing control concept. The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but still a big win over running without the swap token. 2.6.12+ swap token disabled $ for i in `seq 10` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 101.74user 23.13system 8:26.91elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (38597major+430315minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.98user 24.91system 8:03.06elapsed 26%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (33939major+430457minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.93user 22.12system 7:34.90elapsed 27%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (33166major+421267minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.82user 22.38system 8:31.40elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (39338major+433262minor)pagefaults 0swaps 2.6.12+ swap token enabled, timeout 300 seconds $ for i in `seq 4` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 102.58user 16.08system 3:41.44elapsed 53%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19707major+285786minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.07user 19.56system 4:00.64elapsed 50%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19012major+299259minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.64user 18.25system 4:07.31elapsed 48%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (21990major+304831minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.39user 19.41system 5:15.81elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (24850major+323321minor)pagefaults 0swaps 2.6.12+ with new swap token code, timeout 300 seconds $ for i in `seq 4` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 101.87user 24.66system 5:53.20elapsed 35%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (26848major+363497minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.83user 19.95system 4:17.25elapsed 47%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19946major+305722minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.09user 19.46system 5:12.57elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (25461major+334994minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.67user 20.61system 4:52.97elapsed 41%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (22190major+329508minor)pagefaults 0swaps Signed-off-by: NRik Van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem allocator should be within the requested limit. We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup.

As davem points out, this wasn't such a great idea. There may be some code which does: size = 1024*1024; while (kmalloc(size, ...) == 0) size /= 2; which will now explode. Cc: "David S.
