      Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions · 9f8f2172
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      - Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.
      
      - Eliminate useless functions
      
      - Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
        all pages not only those of the local processor.
      
      - Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
        disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
        pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
        disable interrupts.
      
      - Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
        declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c
      
      - Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
        of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
        software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
        then we can make drain_pages() static.

      Print out statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance to /proc/pagetypeinfo · 467c996c
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch provides fragmentation avoidance statistics via /proc/pagetypeinfo.
       The information is collected only on request so there is no runtime overhead.
       The statistics are in three parts:
      
      The first part prints information on the size of blocks that pages are
      being grouped on and looks like
      
      Page block order: 10
      Pages per block:  1024
      
      The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like
      
      Free pages count per migrate type at order       0      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10

      To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node()
      is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and
      /proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication.  It seems specific to what
      vmstat.c requires but could be broken out as a general utility function in
      mmzone.c if there were other other potential users.

      Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations · e12ba74d
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as
      network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations.  When something
      like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to
      be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation.
      
      This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a
      new MIGRATE_TYPE.  The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be
      reclaimed on demand, but not moved.  i.e.  they can be migrated by deleting
      them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

      Categorize GFP flags · 6cb06229
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The function of GFP_LEVEL_MASK seems to be unclear.  In order to clear up
      the mystery we get rid of it and replace GFP_LEVEL_MASK with 3 sets of GFP
      flags:
      
      GFP_RECLAIM_MASK	Flags used to control page allocator reclaim behavior.
      
      GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK	Flags used to limit where allocations can occur.
      
      GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK	Flags that the slab allocator BUG()s on.
      
      These replace the uses of GFP_LEVEL mask in the slab allocators and in
      vmalloc.c.
      
      The use of the flags not included in these sets may occur as a result of a
      slab allocation standing in for a page allocation when constructing scatter
      gather lists.  Extraneous flags are cleared and not passed through to the
      page allocator.  __GFP_MOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE, __GFP_COLD and __GFP_COMP will
      now be ignored if passed to a slab allocator.
      
      Change the allocation of allocator meta data in SLAB and vmalloc to not
      pass through flags listed in GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK.  SLAB already removes the
      __GFP_THISNODE flag for such allocations.  Generalize that to also cover
      vmalloc.  The use of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK also includes __GFP_HARDWALL.
      
      The impact of allocator metadata placement on access latency to the
      cachelines of the object itself is minimal since metadata is only
      referenced on alloc and free.  The attempt is still made to place the meta
      data optimally but we consistently allow fallback both in SLAB and vmalloc
      (SLUB does not need to allocate metadata like that).
      
      Allocator metadata may serve multiple in kernel users and thus should not
      be subject to the limitations arising from a single allocation context.

      Memoryless nodes: Fix GFP_THISNODE behavior · 523b9458
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      GFP_THISNODE checks that the zone selected is within the pgdat (node) of the
      first zone of a nodelist.  That only works if the node has memory.  A
      memoryless node will have its first node on another pgdat (node).
      
      GFP_THISNODE currently will return simply memory on the first pgdat.  Thus it
      is returning memory on other nodes.  GFP_THISNODE should fail if there is no
      local memory on a node.
      
      Add a new set of zonelists for each node that only contain the nodes that
      belong to the zones itself so that no fallback is possible.
      
      Then modify gfp_type to pickup the right zone based on the presence of
      __GFP_THISNODE.
      
      Drop the existing GFP_THISNODE checks from the page_allocators hot path.

      Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone · 2a1e274a
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
      that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
      __GFP_MOVABLE.  This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
      single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
      from either partition.  The patches may be applied with the list-based
      anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.
      
      The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
      boot-time.  This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
      allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  Any range of pages
      within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.
      
      When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
      things to consider.  First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
      used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
      but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64.  Second,
      the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
      NUMA nodes where possible.  If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
      memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.
      
      By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
      pinned and non-migratable (currently at least).  A sysctl is provided that
      allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone.  This means that the huge
      page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
      the system assuming that pages are not mlocked.  Despite huge pages being
      non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
      huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.
      
      Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
      review of the patches.
      
      This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  This zone is only usable
      by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE.  Hot-added
      memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
      mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

      Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated · 769848c0
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
      This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
      GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
      using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
      storage and discarding.
      
      An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
      __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
      flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
      change the semantics of an existing API.  After this patch is applied there
      are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
      be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.
      
      Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
      shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
      shmem_dir_alloc() helper function.  This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
      Hugh Dickens.
      
      Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
      concept.  Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
      and ramfs allocations.

      Move remote node draining out of slab allocators · 4037d452
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to
      perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes.  This requires SLUB to have
      a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB.  Moving node draining
      out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB.
      
      Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated.
      At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of
      a processor.
      
      Add a expire counter there.  If we have to update per zone or global vm
      statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining.
      
      The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it
      reaches zero.  Then we will drain one batch from the pageset.  The draining
      will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until
      the pcp is empty.  So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds.
      
      Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required
      on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory
      can become trapped in pcp queues.  The number of pcp is determined by the
      number of processors and nodes in a system.  A system with 4 processors and 2
      nodes has 8 pcps which is okay.  But a system with 1024 processors and 512
      nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being
      caught in them.

      [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. · 8fce4d8e
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote
      per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap.  For a machines with large number
      of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms.
      Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays.
      
      This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable.
      Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and
      the per cpu pages from one remote node.  That reduces the time spend in
      cache_reap.  However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to
      completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches.  The
      time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system.  All caches
      are drained when they overflow their respective capacity.  So the drawback
      here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer.
      
      Details:
      
      1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification
         of the node to drain of pcp pages.
      
      2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA
         that manage a per cpu reap_node counter.
      
      3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node.
      
      For us this seems to be a critical issue.  Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms
      cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly.  F.e.  NAS parallel
      slows down dramatically.  NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor
      compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches.  It gets down to 5.05 secs with
      the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone · a2f1b424
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.
      
      As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
      was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
      use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
      both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
      2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
      dealing with one DMA zone.  We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
      because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.
      
      But this has always caused problems since then because
      device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
      the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
      it can deal with many zones successfully.
      
      So this patch adds both zones.
      
      This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
      their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
      and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
      Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
      was not enough memory.
      
      Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
      addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
      (like transmit rings or other metadata).  They tended to allocate memory
      in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
      but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
      (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
      many devices.  With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
      this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.
      
      One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
      motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
      raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
      company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
      that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
      need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
      it seems to be the most common restriction.
      
      The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.
      
      For other architectures who don't set up this
      new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
      define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
      as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
      it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
      enough.
      
      One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
      architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64  use GFP_DMA
      (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
      the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
      ugly and is now obsolete.
      
      These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
      this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
      which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.

      [PATCH] gfp_t: infrastructure · af4ca457
      Al Viro 提交于
      Beginning of gfp_t annotations:
      
       - -Wbitwise added to CHECKFLAGS
       - old __bitwise renamed to __bitwise__
       - __bitwise defined to either __bitwise__ or nothing, depending on
         __CHECK_ENDIAN__ being defined
       - gfp_t switched from __nocast to __bitwise__
       - force cast to gfp_t added to __GFP_... constants
       - new helper - gfp_zone(); extracts zone bits out of gfp_t value and casts
         the result to int

      [PATCH] cpusets: new __GFP_HARDWALL flag · f90b1d2f
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      Add another GFP flag: __GFP_HARDWALL.
      
      A subsequent "cpuset_zone_allowed" patch will use this flag to mark GFP_USER
      allocations, and distinguish them from GFP_KERNEL allocations.
      
      Allocations (such as GFP_USER) marked GFP_HARDWALL are constrainted to the
      current tasks cpuset.  Other allocations (such as GFP_KERNEL) can steal from
      the possibly larger nearest mem_exclusive cpuset ancestor, if memory is tight
      on every node in the current cpuset.
      
      This patch collides with Mel Gorman's patch to reduce fragmentation in the
      standard buddy allocator, which adds two GFP flags.  This was discussed on
      linux-mm in July.  Most likely, one of his flags for user reclaimable memory
      can be the same as my __GFP_HARDWALL flag, under some generic name meaning its
      user address space memory.

      [PATCH] Periodically drain non local pagesets · 4ae7c039
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large
      NUMA systems.  F.e.  on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there
      will be 256*512 pagesets.  If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are
      talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in
      potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets.  The typical
      cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of
      memory being trapped in off node pagesets.  Off node memory may be rarely
      used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in
      seldom used pagesets without this patch.
      
      The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds.  The
      following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by
      tying into the slab flush.
      
      The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages
      currently in each pageset.

      [PATCH] VM: add __GFP_NORECLAIM · 0c35bbad
      Martin Hicks 提交于
      When using the early zone reclaim, it was noticed that allocating new pages
      that should be spread across the whole system caused eviction of local pages.
      
      This adds a new GFP flag to prevent early reclaim from happening during
      certain allocation attempts.  The example that is implemented here is for page
      cache pages.  We want page cache pages to be spread across the whole system,
      and we don't want page cache pages to evict other pages to get local memory.

      [PATCH] mempool: NOMEMALLOC and NORETRY · b84a35be
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Mempools have 2 problems.
      
      The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages
      when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool.
      
      The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves
      instead of going to their reserved pools.
      
      Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in
      mempool_alloc.  Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which
      directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
