      block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl · c83f6bf9
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
      allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
      in use.
      
      This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
      One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
      nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
      can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
      counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
      as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
      
      Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
      counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
      There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
      theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
      modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
      and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
      TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
      any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

      Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver · ac250415
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      The 1.75-based OLPC EC driver already does this; let's do it for all EC
      drivers.  This gives us nice suspend/resume hooks, amongst other things.
      
      We want to run the EC's suspend hooks later than other drivers (which may
      be setting wakeup masks or be running EC commands).  We also want to run
      the EC's resume hooks earlier than other drivers (which may want to run EC
      commands).

      Platform: OLPC: allow EC cmd to be overridden, and create a workqueue to call it · 3d26c20b
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      This provides a new API allows different OLPC architectures to override the
      EC driver.  x86 and ARM OLPC machines use completely different EC backends.
      
      The olpc_ec_cmd is synchronous, and waits for the workqueue to send the
      command to the EC.  Multiple callers can run olpc_ec_cmd() at once, and
      they will by serialized and sleep while only one executes on the EC at a time.
      
      We don't provide an unregister function, as that doesn't make sense within
      the context of OLPC machines - there's only ever 1 EC, it's critical to
      functionality, and it certainly not hotpluggable.

      mm: hugetlbfs: close race during teardown of hugetlbfs shared page tables · d833352a
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page
      table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and
      others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to
      get corrupted.  Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and
      output a message to the kernel log.  The final teardown will trigger a
      BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.
      
      This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time
      and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37.  It was probably was introduced
      in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page].  The messages
      look like this;

      The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce.  To reproduce it I was
      doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.
      
      $ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
      $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
      $ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
      $ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done
      
      On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
      enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
      Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
      rebooted.  The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
      aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON.  shutdown will also hang and needs a
      hard reset or a sysrq-b.
      
      The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown.  For
      the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex.  In some cases,
      it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
      shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.
      
      Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
      situation
      
      Process A					Process B
      ---------					---------
      hugetlb_fault					shmdt
        						LockWrite(mmap_sem)
          						  do_munmap
      						    unmap_region
      						      unmap_vmas
      						        unmap_single_vma
      						          unmap_hugepage_range
            						            Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
      							    Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
      							    huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
      							    Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
            						            Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
        huge_pte_alloc				      ...
          Lock(i_mmap_mutex)				      ...
          vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte		      ...
          Lock(mm->page_table_lock)			      ...
          share spte					      ...
          Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)			      ...
          Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)			      ...
        hugetlb_no_page									  <--- (2)
      						      free_pgtables
      						        unlink_file_vma
      							hugetlb_free_pgd_range
      						    remove_vma_list
      
      In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
      Process B that is trying to tear them down.  The i_mmap_mutex on its own
      does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables.  At (1) above,
      the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs.  Process A sets
      up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry.  Process B then trips
      up on it in free_pgtables.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
      __unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
      be destroyed.  This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
      unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex.  This makes the VMA
      ineligible for sharing and avoids the race.  Superficially this looks like
      it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
      has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
      does not support madvise(DONTNEED).
      
      This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.
      
      Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
      Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.

      mm: memcg: fix compaction/migration failing due to memcg limits · 0030f535
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Compaction (and page migration in general) can currently be hindered
      through pages being owned by memory cgroups that are at their limits and
      unreclaimable.
      
      The reason is that the replacement page is being charged against the limit
      while the page being replaced is also still charged.  But this seems
      unnecessary, given that only one of the two pages will still be in use
      after migration finishes.
      
      This patch changes the memcg migration sequence so that the replacement
      page is not charged.  Whatever page is still in use after successful or
      failed migration gets to keep the charge of the page that was going to be
      replaced.
      
      The replacement page will still show up temporarily in the rss/cache
      statistics, this can be fixed in a later patch as it's less urgent.

      The patch "mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use
      direct_IO for writing swap pages" added support for using direct_IO to
      write swap pages but it is insufficient for highmem pages.
      
      To support highmem pages, this patch kmaps() the page before calling the
      direct_IO() handler.  As direct_IO deals with virtual addresses an
      additional helper is necessary for get_kernel_pages() to lookup the struct
      page for a kmap virtual address.

      mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages · 62c230bc
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to
      allocate space and write to the blocks directly.  This effectively ensures
      that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap
      subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file.
      
      If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the
      blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block
      bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were
      resident in memory.  This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM
      can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file.
      
        int swap_activate(struct file *);
        int swap_deactivate(struct file *);
      
      The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the
      VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such
      as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools
      and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory.  The
      ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate()
      returned success.
      
      After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked
      SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to
      sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache
      pages and ->readpage to read.
      
      It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but
      it is an unnecessary complication.  Similarly, it is possible that
      ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem
      developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable
      for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of
      writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

      Mel Gorman 提交于
      In order to teach filesystems to handle swap cache pages, three new page
      functions are introduced:
      
        pgoff_t page_file_index(struct page *);
        loff_t page_file_offset(struct page *);
        struct address_space *page_file_mapping(struct page *);
      
      page_file_index() - gives the offset of this page in the file in
      PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blocks.  Like page->index is for mapped pages, this
      function also gives the correct index for PG_swapcache pages.
      
      page_file_offset() - uses page_file_index(), so that it will give the
      expected result, even for PG_swapcache pages.
      
      page_file_mapping() - gives the mapping backing the actual page; that is
      for swap cache pages it will give swap_file->f_mapping.

      mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage
      
      If swap is backed by network storage such as NBD, there is a risk that a
      large number of reclaimers can hang the system by consuming all
      PF_MEMALLOC reserves.  To avoid these hangs, the administrator must tune
      min_free_kbytes in advance which is a bit fragile.
      
      This patch throttles direct reclaimers if half the PF_MEMALLOC reserves
      are in use.  If the system is routinely getting throttled the system
      administrator can increase min_free_kbytes so degradation is smoother but
      the system will keep running.

      netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc from skb_alloc_page to skb · 0614002b
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation
      of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used.  If
      page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will be allocated from
      the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb.
      This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments
      to the skb.
      
      It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take
      an skb.  If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is
      automatically copied.  If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it
      should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to
      ensure the flag is copied properly.
      
      Failure to do so is not critical.  The resulting driver may perform slower
      if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result
      in failure.

      mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context · 907aed48
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of
      PF_MEMALLOC.
      
      Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
      associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with
      - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in
      interrupts (hard or soft) context.
      
      Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
      trickery.  This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens
      to be preempted by the softirq.  It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags
      mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the
      softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.
      
      The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't
      leak into the softirq.  The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag
      cannot leak back into the preempted process.  This should be safe due to
      the following reasons
      
      Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be
      	executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq
      	handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags
      	should not leak to an unrelated softirq.
      
      Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be
      	preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited
      	by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in
      	reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is
      	set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and
      	soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS

      If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used
              instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted,
              the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

      mm: introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves · b37f1dd0
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      __GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much
      like PF_MEMALLOC.  It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in
      object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as
      sk->sk_allocation.  This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as callers
      using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which is now
      enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.

      mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages · 072bb0aa
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
      create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
      with swapon.  Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless
      systems.  The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part
      of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the
      use of disks and thin clients.
      
      The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
      Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at
      https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download
      There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at
      places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The
      nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap.  Despite this, the fact
      is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap
      is used intensively.  This patch series addresses the problem.
      
      The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like
      normal block devices do.  As the host cannot control where they receive
      packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory
      they might need.  Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of
      patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is
      carrying within their kernels.  This patch series borrows very heavily
      from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to
      supporting swap-over-NFS.  The bulk of the complexity is concerned with
      preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use
      by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS.
      
      Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to
      	preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations
      	to callers that are freeing memory.
      
      Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks
      
      Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC
      	reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC.
      
      Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves
      	for later use by network packet processing.
      
      Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required
      
      Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set.
      
      Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when
      	the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If
      	packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under
      	low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets
      	are dropped.
      
      	Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking
      	folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate
      	pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a
      	strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being
      	that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should
      	not fail.
      
      Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the
      	common case.
      
      Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use
      	PFMEMALLOC if necessary.
      
      Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve
      	to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on
      	a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted.  It is
      	expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running
      	will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and
      	the throttled processes are woken up.
      
      Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled
      
      Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on
      loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and
      sysbench.  Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators
      reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance
      variances.
      
      For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a
      swapfile backed by NBD.  8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create
      anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop.  The total
      size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under
      memory pressure.
      
      Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes
      and runs to completion with them applied.  With SLAB, the story is
      different as an unpatched kernel run to completion.  However, the patched
      kernel completed the test 45% faster.

      This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages
      
      Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine
      hanging due to a lack of memory.  To prevent this, only callers who have
      PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are
      allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS.  Once they are allocated to
      a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects
      within those slabs.  This patch limits access to slab pages that were
      alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves.
      
      When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark
      are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to
      determine how the page should be protected.  SLAB restricts access to any
      page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to
      access the PFMEMALLOC reserve.  If one is not available, an attempt is
      made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve.  SLUB is a bit more
      relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated
      from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does
      not have the necessary GFP or process flags.  This was found to be
      sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining
      smaller lists than SLAB.
      
      In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail
      a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are
      being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

      memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem · 702d1a6e
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      When hotplug offlining happens on zone A, it starts to mark freed page as
      MIGRATE_ISOLATE type in buddy for preventing further allocation.
      (MIGRATE_ISOLATE is very irony type because it's apparently on buddy but
      we can't allocate them).
      
      When the memory shortage happens during hotplug offlining, current task
      starts to reclaim, then wake up kswapd.  Kswapd checks watermark, then go
      sleep because current zone_watermark_ok_safe doesn't consider
      MIGRATE_ISOLATE freed page count.  Current task continue to reclaim in
      direct reclaim path without kswapd's helping.  The problem is that
      zone->all_unreclaimable is set by only kswapd so that current task would
      be looping forever like below.
      
      __alloc_pages_slowpath
      restart:
      	wake_all_kswapd
      rebalance:
      	__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim
      		do_try_to_free_pages
      			if global_reclaim && !all_unreclaimable
      				return 1; /* It means we did did_some_progress */
      	skip __alloc_pages_may_oom
      	should_alloc_retry
      		goto rebalance;
      
      If we apply KOSAKI's patch[1] which doesn't depends on kswapd about
      setting zone->all_unreclaimable, we can solve this problem by killing some
      task in direct reclaim path.  But it doesn't wake up kswapd, still.  It
      could be a problem still if other subsystem needs GFP_ATOMIC request.  So
      kswapd should consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE when it calculate free pages BEFORE
      going sleep.
      
      This patch counts the number of MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block and
      zone_watermark_ok_safe will consider it if the system has such blocks
      (fortunately, it's very rare so no problem in POV overhead and kswapd is
      never hotpath).
      
      Copy/modify from Mel's quote
      "
      Ideal solution would be "allocating" the pageblock.
      It would keep the free space accounting as it is but historically,
      memory hotplug didn't allocate pages because it would be difficult to
      detect if a pageblock was isolated or if part of some balloon.
      Allocating just full pageblocks would work around this, However,
      it would play very badly with CMA.

      mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threads · 9cbb78bb
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The global oom killer is serialized by the per-zonelist
      try_set_zonelist_oom() which is used in the page allocator.  Concurrent
      oom kills are thus a rare event and only occur in systems using
      mempolicies and with a large number of nodes.
      
      Memory controller oom kills, however, can frequently be concurrent since
      there is no serialization once the oom killer is called for oom conditions
      in several different memcgs in parallel.
      
      This creates a massive contention on tasklist_lock since the oom killer
      requires the readside for the tasklist iteration.  If several memcgs are
      calling the oom killer, this lock can be held for a substantial amount of
      time, especially if threads continue to enter it as other threads are
      exiting.
      
      Since the exit path grabs the writeside of the lock with irqs disabled in
      a few different places, this can cause a soft lockup on cpus as a result
      of tasklist_lock starvation.
      
      The kernel lacks unfair writelocks, and successful calls to the oom killer
      usually result in at least one thread entering the exit path, so an
      alternative solution is needed.
      
      This patch introduces a seperate oom handler for memcgs so that they do
      not require tasklist_lock for as much time.  Instead, it iterates only
      over the threads attached to the oom memcg and grabs a reference to the
      selected thread before calling oom_kill_process() to ensure it doesn't
      prematurely exit.
      
      This still requires tasklist_lock for the tasklist dump, iterating
      children of the selected process, and killing all other threads on the
      system sharing the same memory as the selected victim.  So while this
      isn't a complete solution to tasklist_lock starvation, it significantly
      reduces the amount of time that it is held.

      mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat · 9adb62a5
      Jiang Liu 提交于
      When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
      fallback zonelist should be created for the new node.  There's code to try
      to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:
      
      	/*
      	 * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
      	 * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
      	 */
      	mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
      	build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
      	mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);
      
      But it doesn't work as expected.  When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
      new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
      been called yet.  And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
      online nodes as:
      
              for_each_online_node(nid) {
                      pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
      
                      build_zonelists(pgdat);
                      build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
              }
      
      Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.  So
      add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
      the new pgdat too.

      vmscan: remove obsolete shrink_control comment · 8e125cd8
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      09f363c7 ("vmscan: fix shrinker callback bug in fs/super.c") fixed a
      shrinker callback which was returning -1 when nr_to_scan is zero, which
      caused excessive slab scanning.  But 635697c6 ("vmscan: fix initial
      shrinker size handling") fixed the problem, again so we can freely return
      -1 although nr_to_scan is zero.  So let's revert 09f363c7 because the
      comment added in 09f363c7 made an unnecessary rule.

      mm: CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE -> CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP · fe03025d
      Rabin Vincent 提交于
      0ee332c1 ("memblock: Kill early_node_map[]") wanted to replace
      CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP but
      ended up replacing one occurence with a reference to the non-existent
      symbol CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE.
      
      The resulting omission of code would probably have been causing problems
      to 32-bit machines with memory hotplug.

      mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left · 7db8889a
      Rik van Riel 提交于
      Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
      order have been coalesced.  When doing subsequent higher order
      allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.
      
      However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
      compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
      at the end of the zone.
      
      This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
      end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
      compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.
      
      This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
      certain workloads on larger memory systems.
      
      The obvious solution is to have isolate_freepages remember where it left
      off last time, and continue at that point the next time it gets invoked
      for an order > 0 compaction.  This could cause compaction to fail if
      cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn are close together initially, in that
      case we restart from the end of the zone and try once more.
      
      Forced full (order == -1) compactions are left alone.

      Gavin Shan 提交于
      When CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled, compaction_deferred() tries to
      recalculate the deferred limit again, which isn't necessary.
      
      When CONFIG_COMPACTION is disabled, compaction_deferred() should return
      "true" or "false" since it has "bool" for its return value.
