      Fix slab redzone alignment · 87a927c7
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      Commit b46b8f19 fixed a couple of bugs
      by switching the redzone to 64 bits. Unfortunately, it neglected to
      ensure that the _second_ redzone, after the slab object, is aligned
      correctly. This caused illegal instruction faults on sparc32, which for
      some reason not entirely clear to me are not trapped and fixed up.
      
      Two things need to be done to fix this:
        - increase the object size, rounding up to alignof(long long) so
          that the second redzone can be aligned correctly.
        - If SLAB_STORE_USER is set but alignof(long long)==8, allow a
          full 64 bits of space for the user word at the end of the buffer,
          even though we may not _use_ the whole 64 bits.
      
      This patch should be a no-op on any 64-bit architecture or any 32-bit
      architecture where alignof(long long) == 4. Of the others, it's tested
      on ppc32 by myself and a very similar patch was tested on sparc32 by
      Mark Fortescue, who reported the new problem.
      
      Also, fix the conditions for FORCED_DEBUG, which hadn't been adjusted to
      the new sizes. Again noticed by Mark.

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

      slab: shut down cache_reaper when cpu goes down · 5830c590
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Shutdown the cache_reaper if the cpu is brought down and set the
      cache_reap.func to NULL.  Otherwise hotplug shuts down the reaper for good.
