The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it knows that "nbits" is non-negative. Since no-one passes a negative bit-count, this shouldn't affect the semantics.

Many functions in lib/bitmap.c start with an expression such as lim = bits/BITS_PER_LONG. Since bits has type (signed) int, and since gcc cannot know that it is in fact non-negative, it generates worse code than it could. These patches, mostly consisting of changing various parameters to unsigned, gives a slight overall code reduction: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 8/16 up/down: 251/-414 (-163) function old new delta tick_device_uses_broadcast 335 425 +90 __irq_alloc_descs 498 554 +56 __bitmap_andnot 73 115 +42 __bitmap_and 70 101 +31 bitmap_weight - 11 +11 copy_hugetlb_page_range 752 762 +10 follow_hugetlb_page 846 854 +8 hugetlb_init 1415 1417 +2 hugetlb_nrpages_setup 130 131 +1 hugetlb_add_hstate 377 376 -1 bitmap_allocate_region 82 80 -2 select_task_rq_fair 2202 2191 -11 hweight_long 66 55 -11 __reg_op 230 219 -11 dm_stats_message 2849 2833 -16 bitmap_parselist 92 74 -18 __bitmap_weight 115 97 -18 __bitmap_subset 153 129 -24 __bitmap_full 128 104 -24 __bitmap_empty 120 96 -24 bitmap_set 179 149 -30 bitmap_clear 185 155 -30 __bitmap_equal 136 105 -31 __bitmap_intersects 148 108 -40 __bitmap_complement 109 67 -42 tick_device_setup_broadcast_func.isra 81 - -81 [The increases in __bitmap_and{,not} are due to bug fixes 17/18,18/18. No idea why bitmap_weight suddenly appears.] While 163 bytes treewide is insignificant, I believe the bitmap functions are often called with locks held, so saving even a few cycles might be worth it. While making these changes, I found a few other things that might be worth including. 16,17,18 are actual bug fixes. The rest shouldn't change the behaviour of any of the functions, provided no-one passed negative nbits values. If something should come up, it should be fairly bisectable. A few issues I thought about, but didn't know what to do with: * Many of the functions misbehave if nbits is compile-time 0; the out-of-line functions generally handle 0 correctly. bitmap_fill() is particularly bad, whether the 0 is known at compile time or not. It would probably be nice to add detection of at least compile-time 0 and handle that appropriately. * I didn't change __bitmap_shift_{left,right} to use unsigned because I want to fully understand why the algorithm works before making that change. However, AFAICT, they behave correctly for all (positive) shift amounts. This is not the case for the small_const_nbits versions. If for example nbits = n = BITS_PER_LONG, the shift operators turn into no-ops (at least on x86), so one get *dst = *src, whereas one would expect to get *dst=0. That difference in behaviour is somewhat annoying. This patch (of 18): The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it knows that "nbits" is non-negative.

__bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually located in user space. This casting, and the casts in the callers, results in sparse noise like the following: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf got char const *buf warning: cast removes address space of expression Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.

This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless operation. This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU. The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory is preallocated. The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the cpu count is large. Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be: echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity instead of: echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095. We already have many alternate "list" interfaces: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists.

When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not. In particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set. So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean for whether the result has any bits set.

Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no good reason. This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with 1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns 1023, check returns -EINVAL. Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap.

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.

Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits. The current method of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is 9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.) This function provides the caller the means to allocate the correct string length.

When a bitmap is empty bitmap_scnlistprintf() would leave the buffer uninitialized. Set it to an empty string in this case. I didn't see any in normal kernel callers hitting this, but some custom debug code of mine did.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.
