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.

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist. A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with available memory.

Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and foreign. It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone. When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no longer the case. This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first zone in the zonelist is it. This simplifies the reading of later patches in this set.

Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask.

The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters only custom zonelists. The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist. The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the set. The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist. The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE. The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node indices of entries in a zonelist. The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask. Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for __GFP_THISNODE. Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing of zonelists. These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA. loss to gain Total CPU time on Kernbench: -0.86% to 1.13% Elapsed time on Kernbench: -0.79% to 0.76% page_test from aim9: -4.37% to 0.79% brk_test from aim9: -0.71% to 4.07% fork_test from aim9: -1.84% to 4.60% exec_test from aim9: -0.71% to 1.08% This patch: The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch.

Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

We have repeatedly discussed if the cold pages still have a point. There is one way to join the two lists: Use a single list and put the cold pages at the end and the hot pages at the beginning. That way a single list can serve for both types of allocations. The discussion of the RFC for this and Mel's measurements indicate that there may not be too much of a point left to having separate lists for hot and cold pages (see http://marc.info/?t=119492914200001&r=1&w=2).

- 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.

In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are adjacent in physical memory. This was achieved in the allocator by having expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a large buddy was split. However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a page of the appropriate migrate type. This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search costs for anti-fragmentation.

Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards. This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1 is used. This is a fix for 2.6.24. Credit goes to Stephen Rothwell for identifying the bug and testing candidate patches. Additional credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for spotting a problem with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson for testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite.

A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted before invoking out_of_memory(). OOM killer serialization needs to occur before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM condition has already been alleviated. If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and __alloc_pages() returns the page. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked. If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled. One of its zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark allocation attempt. This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given enough time.

Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long flags. This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and converted to a per-zone flag. Flags are set and cleared as follows: zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag) Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED, which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively. Also converts all current users that set or clear either flag to use the new interface. Helper functions are defined to test the flags: int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone) int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone) All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

Logic. - set all pages in [start,end) as isolated migration-type. by this, all free pages in the range will be not-for-use. - Migrate all LRU pages in the range. - Test all pages in the range's refcnt is zero or not. Todo: - allocate migration destination page from better area. - confirm page_count(page)== 0 && PageReserved(page) page is safe to be freed.. (I don't like this kind of page but.. - Find out pages which cannot be migrated. - more running tests. - Use reclaim for unplugging other memory type area.

Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops. This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this - MIGRATE_TYPES increases. - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged. pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free. By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages. If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called, - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other memory reclaiming works make progress. - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list. - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated. To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(), To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range(). Changes V6 -> V7 - removed unnecessary #ifdef There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..

The statistics patch later needs to know what order a free page is on the free lists. Rather than having special knowledge of page_private() when PageBuddy() is set, this patch places out page_order() in internal.h and adds a VM_BUG_ON to catch using it on non-PageBuddy pages.

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 Node 0, zone DMA, type Unmovable 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA, type Reclaimable 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA, type Movable 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA, type Reserve 0 4 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Unmovable 111 8 4 4 2 3 1 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Reclaimable 293 89 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 1 6 13 9 7 6 3 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone Normal, type Reserve 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 The third part looks like Number of blocks type Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserve Node 0, zone DMA 0 1 2 1 Node 0, zone Normal 3 17 94 4 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.

Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size. However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page size is runtime configurable. It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true, page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time kernel parameter. One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

move_freepages_block() returns the number of blocks moved. This value is used to determine if a block of pages should be stolen for the exclusive use of a migrate type or not. However, the value returned is being used correctly. This patch fixes the calculation to return the number of base pages that have been moved. This should be considered a fix to the patch move-free-pages-between-lists-on-steal.patch Credit to Andy Whitcroft for spotting the problem.

Grouping high-order atomic allocations together was intended to allow bursty users of atomic allocations to work such as e1000 in situations where their preallocated buffers were depleted. This did not work in at least one case with a wireless network adapter needing order-1 allocations frequently. To resolve that, the free pages used for min_free_kbytes were moved to separate contiguous blocks with the patch bias-the-location-of-pages-freed-for-min_free_kbytes-in-the-same-max_order_nr_pages-blocks. It is felt that keeping the free pages in the same contiguous blocks should be sufficient for bursty short-lived high-order atomic allocations to succeed, maybe even with the e1000. Even if there is a failure, increasing the value of min_free_kbytes will free pages as contiguous bloks in contrast to the standard buddy allocator which makes no attempt to keep the minimum number of free pages contiguous. This patch backs out grouping high order atomic allocations together to determine if it is really needed or not. If a new report comes in about high-order atomic allocations failing, the feature can be reintroduced to determine if it fixes the problem or not. As a side-effect, this patch reduces by 1 the number of bits required to track the mobility type of pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block.

Grouping pages by mobility can be disabled at compile-time. This was considered undesirable by a number of people. However, in the current stack of patches, it is not a simple case of just dropping the configurable patch as it would cause merge conflicts. This patch backs out the configuration option.
