      memblock: Reimplement __memblock_remove() using memblock_isolate_range() · 71936180
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      __memblock_remove()'s open coded region manipulation can be trivially
      replaced with memblock_islate_range().  This increases code sharing
      and eases improving region tracking.
      
      This pulls memblock_isolate_range() out of HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.
      Make it use memblock_get_region_node() instead of assuming rgn->nid is
      available.
      
      -v2: Fixed build failure on !HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP caused by direct
           rgn->nid access.

      memblock: Separate out memblock_isolate_range() from memblock_set_node() · 6a9ceb31
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      memblock_set_node() operates in three steps - break regions crossing
      boundaries, set nid and merge back regions.  This patch separates the
      first part into a separate function - memblock_isolate_range(), which
      breaks regions crossing range boundaries and returns range index range
      for regions properly contained in the specified memory range.
      
      This doesn't introduce any behavior change and will be used to further
      unify region handling.

      memblock: Kill memblock_init() · fe091c20
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
      however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
      memblock_init() can be removed.  This patch kills memblock_init() and
      initializes memblock with struct initializer.
      
      The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
      set to MAX_NUMNODES initially.  This doesn't cause any behavior
      difference.

      writeback: hard throttle 1000+ dd on a slow USB stick · 1df64719
      Wu Fengguang 提交于
      The sleep based balance_dirty_pages() can pause at most MAX_PAUSE=200ms
      on every 1 4KB-page, which means it cannot throttle a task under
      4KB/200ms=20KB/s. So when there are more than 512 dd writing to a
      10MB/s USB stick, its bdi dirty pages could grow out of control.
      
      Even if we can increase MAX_PAUSE, the minimal (task_ratelimit = 1)
      means a limit of 4KB/s.
                                                             
      They can eventually be safeguarded by the global limit check 
      (nr_dirty < dirty_thresh). However if someone is also writing to an 
      HDD at the same time, it'll get poor HDD write performance.
                                                             
      We at least want to maintain good write performance for other devices
      when one device is attacked by some "massive parallel" workload, or
      suffers from slow write bandwidth, or somehow get stalled due to some 
      error condition (eg. NFS server not responding).
      
      For a stalled device, we need to completely block its dirtiers, too,
      before its bdi dirty pages grow all the way up to the global limit and
      leave no space for the other functional devices.
      
      So change the loop exit condition to
      
      	/*
      	 * Always enforce global dirty limit; also enforce bdi dirty limit
      	 * if the normal max_pause sleeps cannot keep things under control.
      	 */
      	if (nr_dirty < dirty_thresh &&
      	    (bdi_dirty < bdi_thresh || bdi->dirty_ratelimit > 1))
      		break;
      
      which can be further simplified to
      
      	if (task_ratelimit)
      		break;

      xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly · cd12909c
      David Vrabel 提交于
      When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the
      GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and
      pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm).
      
      After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to
      update additional MMs.  This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be
      removed from alloc_vm_area().

      backing-dev: ensure wakeup_timer is deleted · 7a401a97
      Rabin Vincent 提交于
      bdi_prune_sb() in bdi_unregister() attempts to removes the bdi links
      from all super_blocks and then del_timer_sync() the writeback timer.
      
      However, this can race with __mark_inode_dirty(), leading to
      bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() rearming the writeback timer on the bdi
      we're unregistering, after we've called del_timer_sync().
      
      This can end up with the bdi being freed with an active timer inside it,
      as in the case of the following dump after the removal of an SD card.
      
      Fix this by redoing the del_timer_sync() in bdi_destory().
