It is strange that alloc_bootmem() returns a virtual address and free_bootmem() requires a physical address. Anyway, free_bootmem()'s first parameter should be physical address.

After commit f5bf18fa ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the section holding the usemap. The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a much higher address absent an upper limit. Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end, then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem. As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.

UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.

nomemblock is currently used only by x86 and on x86_32 free_all_memory_core_early() silently freed only the low mem because get_free_all_memory_range() in arch/x86/mm/memblock.c implicitly limited range to max_low_pfn. Rename free_all_memory_core_early() to free_low_memory_core_early() and make it call __get_free_all_memory_range() and limit the range to max_low_pfn explicitly. This makes things clearer and also is consistent with the bootmem behavior. This leaves get_free_all_memory_range() without any user. Kill it.

crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().

On PowerPC we allocate large boot time hashes on node 0. This leads to an imbalance in the free memory, for example on a 64GB box (4 x 16GB nodes): Free memory: Node 0: 97.03% Node 1: 98.54% Node 2: 98.42% Node 3: 98.53% If we switch to using vmalloc (like ia64 and x86-64) things are more balanced: Free memory: Node 0: 97.53% Node 1: 98.35% Node 2: 98.33% Node 3: 98.33% For many HPC applications we are limited by the free available memory on the smallest node, so even though the same amount of memory is used the better balancing helps. Since all 64bit NUMA capable architectures should have sufficient vmalloc space, it makes sense to enable it via CONFIG_64BIT. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: NDavid S.

Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be able to be used interchangeably. This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also, HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de>

alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a clean rewrite that keeps the semantics. bdata->last_pos has been dropped. bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather than its beginning. bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the node.

This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past.

This reverts commit 2e1c49db. First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures, bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels. Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that this ever affected.

Enable system hashtable memory to be distributed among nodes on x86_64 NUMA Forcing the kernel to use node interleaved vmalloc instead of bootmem for the system hashtable memory (alloc_large_system_hash) reduces the memory imbalance on node 0 by around 40MB on a 8 node x86_64 NUMA box: Before the following patch, on bootup of a 8 node box: Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB Node 0 MemFree: 3206296 kB Node 0 MemUsed: 201192 kB Node 0 Active: 7012 kB Node 0 Inactive: 512 kB Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB Node 0 FilePages: 1912 kB Node 0 Mapped: 420 kB Node 0 AnonPages: 5612 kB Node 0 PageTables: 468 kB Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB Node 0 Slab: 5408 kB Node 0 SReclaimable: 644 kB Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4764 kB After the patch (or using hashdist=1 on the kernel command line): Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB Node 0 MemFree: 3247608 kB Node 0 MemUsed: 159880 kB Node 0 Active: 3012 kB Node 0 Inactive: 616 kB Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB Node 0 FilePages: 2424 kB Node 0 Mapped: 380 kB Node 0 AnonPages: 1200 kB Node 0 PageTables: 396 kB Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB Node 0 Slab: 6304 kB Node 0 SReclaimable: 1596 kB Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4708 kB I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space? Or maybe enable hash distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches? The following patch does it only for x86_64. I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of memory and uses up tlb entries. This was on a 4 way, 2 socket Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode). The results with and without hash distribution are: 1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s 2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s Oprofile output for the duration of run is: 1.

Fix unannotated variable declarations. Variables that have allocation section annotations (such as __meminitdata) on their definitions must also have them on their declarations as not doing so may affect the addressing mode used by the compiler and may result in a linker error.

__init in headers is pretty useless because the compiler doesn't check it, and they get out of sync relatively frequently. So if you see an __init in a header file, it's quite unreliable and you need to check the definition anyway.

The grow algorithm is simple, we grow if: 1) we see a hash chain collision at insert, and 2) we haven't hit the hash size limit (currently 1*1024*1024 slots), and 3) the number of xfrm_state objects is > the current hash mask All of this needs some tweaking. Remove __initdata from "hashdist" so we can use it safely at run time. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
