Fix two warnings in ipc/shm.c ipc/shm.c:122: warning: statement with no effect ipc/shm.c:560: warning: statement with no effect by converting the macros to empty inline functions. For safety, let's do all three. This also has the advantage that typechecking gets performed even without CONFIG_SHMEM enabled.

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 However, support for DISCONTIGMEM has been replaced by SPARSEMEM on powerpc.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 matter which is applied first.

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. Remove the obsolete functions.

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.

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. Thanks to "Iozone" <capps@iozone.org> for identifying this problem.

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> Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier. I've also clarified this in the comment.

Some PCMCIA sockets have statically mapped memory windows, but dynamically mapped IO windows.
