      mm: make defensive checks around PFN values registered for memory usage · 2dbb51c4
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      There are a number of different views to how much memory is currently active.
      There is the arch-independent zone-sizing view, the bootmem allocator and
      memory models view.
      
      Architectures register this information at different times and is not
      necessarily in sync particularly with respect to some SPARSEMEM limitations.
      
      This patch introduces mminit_validate_memmodel_limits() which is able to
      validate and correct PFN ranges with respect to the memory model.  It is only
      SPARSEMEM that currently validates itself.

      mm: verify the page links and memory model · 708614e6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Print out information on how the page flags are being used if mminit_loglevel
      is MMINIT_VERIFY or higher and unconditionally performs sanity checks on the
      flags regardless of loglevel.
      
      When the page flags are updated with section, node and zone information, a
      check are made to ensure the values can be retrieved correctly.  Finally we
      confirm that pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn are the correct inverse functions.

      mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisation · 6b74ab97
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of
      architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering.  While significant
      amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data
      received from the architecture layer.  This is a mistake, and has resulted in
      a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs.
      
      This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation.  It
      also introduces a few basic defensive measures.  The validation code can be
      explicitly disabled for embedded systems.
      
      This patch:
      
      Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation.
      
      Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required
      additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel=
      command-line parameter.
      
      The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c.  Ideally other mm
      initialisation code will be moved here over time.

      memory hotplug: free memmaps allocated by bootmem · 0c0a4a51
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
      
      Freeing usemap is not necessary.  The pages of usemap may be necessary for
      other sections.
      
      If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
      of usemap page.  (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
      it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
      which all pages are isolated against page allocater.  If it is freed, page
      alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon.  It will be
      disaster.  So, this patch keeps it as it is.

      Solve section mismatch for free_area_init_core. · b5a0e011
      Alexander van Heukelum 提交于
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.meminit.text+0x649):
      Section mismatch in reference from the
      function free_area_init_core() to the function .init.text:setup_usemap()
      The function __meminit free_area_init_core() references
      a function __init setup_usemap().
      If free_area_init_core is only used by setup_usemap then
      annotate free_area_init_core with a matching annotation.
      
      The warning is covers this stack of functions in mm/page_alloc.c:
      
      alloc_bootmem_node must be marked __init.
      alloc_bootmem_node is used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.
      (usemap_size is only used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.)
      setup_usemap is only used by free_area_init_core.
      free_area_init_core is only used by free_area_init_node.
      
      free_area_init_node is used by:
      arch/alpha/mm/numa.c: __init paging_init()
      arch/arm/mm/init.c: __init bootmem_init_node()

      mm/page_alloc.c: __init free_area_init()
      and
      mm/memory_hotplug.c: hotadd_new_pgdat()
      
      hotadd_new_pgdat can not be an __init function, but:
      
      It is compiled for MEMORY_HOTPLUG configurations only
      MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
      X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on X86_64
      ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
      ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
      So X86_64_ACPI_NUMA implies SPARSEMEM, right?
      
      So we can mark the stack of functions __init for !SPARSEMEM, but we must mark
      them __meminit for SPARSEMEM configurations.  This is ok, because then the
      calls to alloc_bootmem_node are also avoided.
      
      Compile-tested on:
      silly minimal config
      defconfig x86_32
      defconfig x86_64
      defconfig x86_64 -HIBERNATION +MEMORY_HOTPLUG

      Make page->private usable in compound pages · d85f3385
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the
      tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page.
      page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in
      there.
      
      Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent.
      They become more usable like real pages.  Right now we have to be careful f.e.
       if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we
      can then no longer use the private field.  This is one of the issues that
      cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB.
      
      Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in
      the page struct.  I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there
      right now.
      
      Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with
      buffer heads.  This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger
      blocks than page size.
      
      We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim.  Compound pages cannot currently
      be reclaimed.  Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.
      
      The RFC for the this approach was discussed at
      http://marc.info/?t=117574302800001&r=1&w=2

      [PATCH] mm: VM_BUG_ON · 725d704e
      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.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
