Add direct migration support with fall back to swap. Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility. This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout). Fall back to swap out if necessary. The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible. Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file backed pages.

Check for PageSwapCache after looking up and locking a swap page. The page migration code may change a swap pte to point to a different page under lock_page(). If that happens then the vm must retry the lookup operation in the swap space to find the correct page number. There are a couple of locations in the VM where a lock_page() is done on a swap page. In these locations we need to check afterwards if the page was migrated. If the page was migrated then the old page that was looked up before was freed and no longer has the PageSwapCache bit set.

If large amounts of zone memory are used by empty slabs then zone_reclaim becomes uneffective. This patch shakes the slab a bit. The problem with this patch is that the slab reclaim is not containable to a zone. Thus slab reclaim may affect the whole system and be extremely slow. This also means that we cannot determine how many pages were freed in this zone. Thus we need to go off node for at least one allocation. The functionality is disabled by default. We could modify the shrinkers to take a zone parameter but that would be quite invasive. Better ideas are welcome.

In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently. For example a process writing large amounts of memory will spew unto other nodes to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty. This may impact the performance of processes running on other nodes. Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the process by restricting the pages to the local zone. Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim. Off node memory allocation can then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....

Instead of scanning all the pages in a zone, imitate real swap and scan only a portion of the pages and gradually scan more if we do not free up enough pages. This avoids a zone suddenly loosing all unused pagecache pages (we may after all access some of these again so they deserve another chance) but it still frees up large chunks of memory if a zone only contains unused pagecache pages.

2.6.15's hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into hugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on how far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file. But it's muddled: each hugepage found covers HPAGE_SIZE, not PAGE_SIZE. Once pages were already in cache, it would overshoot, wrap its hugepages count backwards, and so fail a harmless repeat mapping with -ENOMEM. Fixes the problem found by Don Dupuis.

Improve the performance of slab_put_obj(). Without the cast, gcc considers ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit unsigned divide. I noticed this when looking at the profile of a case where the slab balance is just on edge and thrashes back and forth freeing a block.

Ensure that the performance of off node pages stays the same as before. Off node pagefault tests showed an 18% drop in performance without this patch. - Increase the timeout to 30 seconds to reduce the overhead. - Move all code possible out of the off node hot path for zone reclaim (Sorry Andrew, the struct initialization had to be sacrificed).

Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears that a number of lost ticks have occurred. This can cause premature expiry of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire. This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366 reported by Tim Mann.

Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on. Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity() unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set. This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option. This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads. Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-) Signed-off-by: NJack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Acked-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org> CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is queued. After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer. CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired. The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state information is wrong. Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a restart request and do not touch the state variable.
