      [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17 · 9c7b216d
      由 Chandra Seetharaman 提交于 
      In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17

      [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary · e984bb43
      由 Bob Picco 提交于 
      Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER.  An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned.  Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints.  page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone).  Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.

SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured.  ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently.  This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

      [PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix · bdd804f4
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from
invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages.  Could sleep while
interrupts disabled.

The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c
__alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks
cpuset.  This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the
zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be
allowed in a parent cpuset.

But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a
GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags).

The rule was intended to be:
  Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
  pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
  the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.

This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change
made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort
to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap
daemons were awoken.

The bogus change can be seen at:
  http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html
  [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags

This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling
interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which
resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping
function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take
the callback_sem cpuset semaphore.

We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at
decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional
cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in
March 2006.

Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat
to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready
to listen.

      [PATCH] overcommit: add calculate_totalreserve_pages() · cb45b0e9
      由 Hideo AOKI 提交于 
      These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in
__vm_enough_memory().

- why the kernel needed patching

  When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet
  OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be
  the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation.

  If the Linux runs with page reservation features like
  /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think
  the oom kill occurs easily.

- the overall design approach in the patch

  When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages,
  the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages.

  This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages
  become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free.

- testing results

  I tested the patches using my test kernel module.

  If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory()
  returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is
  failed.

  On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory
  allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns
  failure in the situation.

  I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on
  nommu environment currently.

This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory().

Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and
pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each
zone to totalreserve_pages.

The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized.
And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito
or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

      [PATCH] Fix buddy list race that could lead to page lru list corruptions · 676165a8
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption.

page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0)
to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the
buddy lists.

Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated
conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to
be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was
not on the buddy lists).

      [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. · 8fce4d8e
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote
per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap.  For a machines with large number
of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms.
Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays.

This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable.
Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and
the per cpu pages from one remote node.  That reduces the time spend in
cache_reap.  However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to
completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches.  The
time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system.  All caches
are drained when they overflow their respective capacity.  So the drawback
here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer.

Details:

1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification
   of the node to drain of pcp pages.

2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA
   that manage a per cpu reap_node counter.

3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node.

For us this seems to be a critical issue.  Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms
cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly.  F.e.  NAS parallel
slows down dramatically.  NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor
compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches.  It gets down to 5.05 secs with
the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

      [PATCH] Terminate process that fails on a constrained allocation · 9b0f8b04
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory
policies or cpuset constraints).  If the page allocator is not able to find
enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low.

In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes
is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the
whole system coming down).

It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the
constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has
placed on the allocation behavior.  The process may be killed but then the
sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation.  The solution is
similar to what we do when running out of hugepages.

This patch adds a check before we kill processes.  At that point
performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist
and reconstruct a list of nodes.  If the list of nodes does not contain all
online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the
current process.

      [PATCH] compound page: default destructor · d98c7a09
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Somehow I imagined that calling a NULL destructor would free a compound page
rather than oopsing.  No, we must supply a default destructor, __free_pages_ok
using the order noted by prep_compound_page.  hugetlb can still replace this
as before with its own free_huge_page pointer.

The case that needs this is not common: rarely does put_compound_page's
put_page_testzero bring the count down to 0.  But if get_user_pages is applied
to some part of a compound page, without immediate release (e.g.  AIO or
Infiniband), then it's possible for its put_page to come after the containing
vma has been unmapped and the driver done its free_pages.

That's just the kind of case compound pages are supposed to be guarding
against (but Nick points out, nor did PageReserved handle this right).

      [PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lru · 41d78ba5
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current
example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound
page.  But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call
set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g.  Infiniband's
__ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is
liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space.

And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page
needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own
special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse.  For example,
not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a
compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd
address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap.

Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead.  And to free up
the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from
index to lru.prev.  Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use
compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this.

(akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now
have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]()
caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).
