      mm: Add range_cont mode for writeback · 06d6cf69
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      Filesystems like ext4 needs to start a new transaction in
the writepages for block allocation. This happens with delayed
allocation and there is limit to how many credits we can request
from the journal layer. So we call write_cache_pages multiple
times with wbc->nr_to_write set to the maximum possible value
limitted by the max journal credits available.

Add a new mode to writeback that enables us to handle this
behaviour. In the new mode we update the wbc->range_start
to point to the new offset to be written. Next call to
call to write_cache_pages will start writeout from specified
range_start offset. In the new mode we also limit writing
to the specified wbc->range_end.

      ftrace: limit trace entries · 3eefae99
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      Currently there is no protection from the root user to use up all of
memory for trace buffers. If the root user allocates too many entries,
the OOM killer might start kill off all tasks.

This patch adds an algorith to check the following condition:

 pages_requested > (freeable_memory + current_trace_buffer_pages) / 4

If the above is met then the allocation fails. The above prevents more
than 1/4th of freeable memory from being used by trace buffers.

To determine the freeable_memory, I made determine_dirtyable_memory in
mm/page-writeback.c global.

Special thanks goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting the above calculation.

      writeback: speed up writeback of big dirty files · 8bc3be27
      由 Fengguang Wu 提交于 
      After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the
writeback for all data after 30s delays.  But sometimes the following
happens instead:

	- after 30s:    ~4M
	- after 5s:     ~4M
	- after 5s:     all remaining 92M

Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this:

		s_io            s_more_io
		-------------------------
	1)	100M,1K         0
	2)	1K              96M
	3)	0               96M
1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file

2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more

3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG)

nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all
been written out.  The big dirty file is actually still sitting in
s_more_io.  We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io
becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this
may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty.  It is also not an option to
draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this
might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync
time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug).

We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes.  So nr_to_write > 0
does not necessarily mean that "all data are written".  This patch
introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate that more io should
be done.  With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next
kupdate invokation 5s later.

In sync_sb_inodes() we only set more_io on super_blocks we actually
visited.  This avoids the interaction between two pdflush deamons.

Also in __sync_single_inode() we don't blindly keep requeuing the io if the
filesystem cannot progress.  Failing to do so may lead to 100% iowait.

      mm/page-writeback: highmem_is_dirtyable option · 195cf453
      由 Bron Gondwana 提交于 
      Add vm.highmem_is_dirtyable toggle

A 32 bit machine with HIGHMEM64 enabled running DCC has an MMAPed file of
approximately 2Gb size which contains a hash format that is written
randomly by the dbclean process.  On 2.6.16 this process took a few
minutes.  With lowmem only accounting of dirty ratios, this takes about 12
hours of 100% disk IO, all random writes.

Include a toggle in /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable which can be set to 1 to
add the highmem back to the total available memory count.

      dirty page balancing: Get rid of broken unmapped_ratio logic · 8c086340
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This code harks back to the days when we didn't count dirty mapped
pages, which led us to try to balance the number of dirty unmapped pages
by how much unmapped memory there was in the system.

That makes no sense any more, since now the dirty counts include the
mapped pages.  Not to mention that the math doesn't work with HIGHMEM
machines anyway, and causes the unmapped_ratio to potentially turn
negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,
but I mention that as an indication of how broken the code is).

The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was
much larger, and the unmapped_ratio logic effectively capped that large
dirty ratio a bit.  Again, we've since lowered the dirty ratio rather
aggressively, further lessening the point of that code.

      move page writeback acounting out of macros · d688abf5

      page-writeback accounting is presently performed in the page-flags macros.
This is inconsistent and a bit ugly and makes it awkward to implement
per-backing_dev under-writeback page accounting.

So move this accounting down to the callsite(s).

      mm: share PG_readahead and PG_reclaim · fe3cba17
      由 Fengguang Wu 提交于 
      Share the same page flag bit for PG_readahead and PG_reclaim.

One is used only on file reads, another is only for emergency writes.  One
is used mostly for fresh/young pages, another is for old pages.

Combinations of possible interactions are:

a) clear PG_reclaim => implicit clear of PG_readahead
	it will delay an asynchronous readahead into a synchronous one
	it actually does _good_ for readahead:
		the pages will be reclaimed soon, it's readahead thrashing!
		in this case, synchronous readahead makes more sense.

b) clear PG_readahead => implicit clear of PG_reclaim
	one(and only one) page will not be reclaimed in time
	it can be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) in readahead first

c) set PG_reclaim => implicit set of PG_readahead
	will confuse readahead and make it restart the size rampup process
	it's a trivial problem, and can mostly be avoided by checking
	PageWriteback(page) first in readahead

d) set PG_readahead => implicit set of PG_reclaim
	PG_readahead will never be set on already cached pages.
	PG_reclaim will always be cleared on dirtying a page.
	so not a problem.

In summary,
	a)   we get better behavior
	b,d) possible interactions can be avoided
	c)   racy condition exists that might affect readahead, but the chance
	     is _really_ low, and the hurt on readahead is trivial.

Compound pages also use PG_reclaim, but for now they do not interact with
reclaim/readahead code.

      fs: introduce some page/buffer invariants · 787d2214
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has
buffers.  If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers
dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate).  The exception to this
rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate.

A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate.

If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data
loss problem.  Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the
page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we
should fix those up, and enforce this ordering.

Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of
invalidate.  This will prevent a page from being able to go !uptodate while
we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway.

      Use ZVC counters to establish exact size of dirtyable pages · 1b424464
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      We can use the global ZVC counters to establish the exact size of the LRU
and the free pages.  This allows a more accurate determination of the dirty
ratio.

This patch will fix the broken ratio calculations if large amounts of
memory are allocated to huge pags or other consumers that do not put the
pages on to the LRU.

Notes:
- I did not add NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE to the calculation of the
  dirtyable pages. Those may be reclaimable but they are at this
  point not dirtyable. If NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE would be considered
  then a huge number of reclaimable pages would stop writeback
  from occurring.

- This patch used to be in mm as the last one in a series of patches.
  It was removed when Linus updated the treatment of highmem because
  there was a conflict. I updated the patch to follow Linus' approach.
  This patch is neede to fulfill the claims made in the beginning of the
  patchset that is now in Linus' tree.
