      SLUB: Fix NUMA / SYSFS bootstrap issue · 8ffa6875
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      We need this patch in ASAP.  Patch fixes the mysterious hang that remained
on some particular configurations with lockdep on after the first fix that
moved the #idef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG to the right location.  See
http://marc.info/?t=117963072300001&r=1&w=2

The kmem_cache_node cache is very special because it is needed for NUMA
bootstrap.  Under certain conditions (like for example if lockdep is
enabled and significantly increases the size of spinlock_t) the structure
may become exactly the size as one of the larger caches in the kmalloc
array.

That early during bootstrap we cannot perform merging properly.  The unique
id for the kmem_cache_node cache will match one of the kmalloc array.
Sysfs will complain about a duplicate directory entry.  All of this occurs
while the console is not yet fully operational.  Thus boot may appear to be
silently failing.

The kmem_cache_node cache is very special.  During early boostrap the main
allocation function is not operational yet and so we have to run our own
small special alloc function during early boot.  It is also special in that
it is never freed.

We really do not want any merging on that cache.  Set the refcount -1 and
forbid merging of slabs that have a negative refcount.

      SLUB: remove nr_cpu_ids hack · bcf889f9
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      This was in SLUB in order to head off trouble while the nr_cpu_ids
functionality was not merged.  Its merged now so no need to still have this.

      slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab · 894b8788
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free

SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with
potential kfree operations.  This patch avoids that need by moving all free
objects onto a lockless_freelist.  The regular freelist continues to exist
and will be used to free objects.  So while we consume the
lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects.

If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the
regular freelist.  If it has objects then we move those over to the
lockless_freelist and do this again.  There is a significant savings in
terms of atomic operations that have to be performed.

We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are
running on the same processor.  So this speeds up short lived objects.
They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock.  This is
particular good for netperf.

In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the
hottest performance pieces into inlined functions.  These are then inlined
into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free.  So hotpath allocation and
freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB.

[I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to
read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops.  However, there is
someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems
that seems to show a 5% regression vs.  Slab.  Seems that the regression is
due to increased atomic operations use vs.  SLAB in SLUB).  I wonder if
this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?]

      Move remote node draining out of slab allocators · 4037d452
      由 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.

      vmstat: use our own timer events · d1187ed2
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      vmstat is currently using the cache reaper to periodically bring the
statistics up to date.  The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to
provide compatibility with SLAB.  This patch removes the vmstat calls from the
slab allocators and provides its own handling.

The advantage is also that we can use a different frequency for the updates.
Refreshing vm stats is a pretty fast job so we can run this every second and
stagger this by only one tick.  This will lead to some overlap in large
systems.  F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm
updates occurring at once.

However, the vm stats update only accesses per node information.  It is only
necessary to stagger the vm statistics updates per processor in each node.  Vm
counter updates occurring on distant nodes will not cause cacheline
contention.

We could implement an alternate approach that runs the first processor on each
node at the second and then each of the other processor on a node on a
subsequent tick.  That may be useful to keep a large amount of the second free
of timer activity.  Maybe the timer folks will have some feedback on this one?

      Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug · 8bb78442
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).
