      Memory controller: make page_referenced() cgroup aware · bed7161a
      Balbir Singh 提交于
      Make page_referenced() cgroup aware.  Without this patch, page_referenced()
      can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages.  This patch ensures
      that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage.  It
      is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a cgroup when they
      are not actively referenced from the cgroup that brought them in

      [PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages · d08b3851
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.
      
      The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
      write-fault, make writeable and set dirty.  On page write-back clean all the
      PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.
      
      The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
      backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained.  Hence it is not
      enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.
      
      The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
       - its shared writeable
          (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
       - it is not a 'special' mapping
          (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
       - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
          mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
       - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection
      
      Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
      semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
      because they don't have a backing store anyway.
      
      mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well.  However it overrides
      the last condition.
      
      Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
      It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
      pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
      also wrprotect the PTE.
      
      Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
      under ->private_lock.  This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
      serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.  This is needed because
      clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
      locking order.

      [PATCH] temporarily disable swap token on memory pressure · f7b7fd8f
      Rik van Riel 提交于
      Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that
      eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even
      when there is still a lot of swap free.
      
      The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap
      token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the
      system that is swappable.
      
      Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could
      simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we
      don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds.
      
      This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into.

      [PATCH] mm: rmap with inner ptlock · c0718806
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      rmap's page_check_address descend without page_table_lock.  First just
      pte_offset_map in case there's no pte present worth locking for, then take
      page_table_lock for the full check, and pass ptl back to caller in the same
      style as pte_offset_map_lock.  __xip_unmap, page_referenced_one and
      try_to_unmap_one use pte_unmap_unlock.  try_to_unmap_cluster also.
      
      page_check_address reformatted to avoid progressive indentation.  No use is
      made of its one error code, return NULL when it fails.

      [PATCH] xip: fs/mm: execute in place · ceffc078
      Carsten Otte 提交于
      - generic_file* file operations do no longer have a xip/non-xip split
      - filemap_xip.c implements a new set of fops that require get_xip_page
        aop to work proper. all new fops are exported GPL-only (don't like to
        see whatever code use those except GPL modules)
      - __xip_unmap now uses page_check_address, which is no longer static
        in rmap.c, and defined in linux/rmap.h
      - mm/filemap.h is now much more clean, plainly having just Linus'
        inline funcs moved here from filemap.c
      - fix includes in filemap_xip to make it build cleanly on i386

      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!
