      [PATCH] page migration reorg · b20a3503
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Centralize the page migration functions in anticipation of additional
      tinkering.  Creates a new file mm/migrate.c
      
      1. Extract buffer_migrate_page() from fs/buffer.c
      
      2. Extract central migration code from vmscan.c
      
      3. Extract some components from mempolicy.c
      
      4. Export pageout() and remove_from_swap() from vmscan.c
      
      5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration
         and non-NUMA systems with page migration.
      
      I had to so some #ifdeffing in mempolicy.c that may need a cleanup.

      [PATCH] mm: split page table lock · 4c21e2f2
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
      a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
      a large anonymous area.
      
      This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
      guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
      page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
      table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
      
      In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
      page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
      the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
      
      Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
      I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
      multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
      So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
      language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
      NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
      testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
      change that to 8 later.
      
      There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
      one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

      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!
