Add a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_RB build option for the previously existing DEBUG_MM_RB code. Now that Andi Kleen modified it to avoid using recursive algorithms, we can expose it a bit more. Also extend this code to validate_mm() after stack expansion, and to check that the vma's start and last pgoffs have not changed since the nodes were inserted on the anon vma interval tree (as it is important that the nodes be reindexed after each such update).

When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mremap() had a clever optimization where move_ptes() did not take the anon_vma lock to avoid a race with anon rmap users such as page migration. Instead, the avc's were ordered in such a way that the origin vma was always visited by rmap before the destination. This ordering and the use of page table locks rmap usage safe. However, we want to replace the use of linked lists in anon rmap with an interval tree, and this will make it harder to impose such ordering as the interval tree will always be sorted by the avc->vma->vm_pgoff value. For now, let's replace the anon_vma_moveto_tail() ordering function with proper anon_vma locking in move_ptes(). Once we have the anon interval tree in place, we will re-introduce an optimization to avoid taking these locks in the most common cases.

Update the generic interval tree code that was introduced in "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree". Changes: - fixed 'endpoing' typo noticed by Andrew Morton - replaced include/linux/interval_tree_tmpl.h, which was used as a template (including it automatically defined the interval tree functions) with include/linux/interval_tree_generic.h, which only defines a preprocessor macro INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE(), which itself defines the interval tree functions when invoked. Now that is a very long macro which is unfortunate, but it does make the usage sites (lib/interval_tree.c and mm/interval_tree.c) a bit nicer than previously. - make use of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() in the INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE() macro, instead of duplicating that code in the interval tree template. - replaced vma_interval_tree_add(), which was actually handling the nonlinear and interval tree cases, with vma_interval_tree_insert_after() which handles only the interval tree case and has an API that is more consistent with the other interval tree handling functions. The nonlinear case is now handled explicitly in kernel/fork.c dup_mmap().

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x) on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees would still come out faster. Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic, and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree. Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here because the intervals are always non-overlapping. Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library. Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals; however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree. I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap' constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches, N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree. This patch: Add two test modules: - prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for insertion/removal and for stabbing searches - interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support. In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit, and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

Introduce new augmented rbtree APIs that allow minimal recalculation of augmented node information. A new callback is added to the rbtree insertion and erase rebalancing functions, to be called on each tree rotations. Such rotations preserve the subtree's root augmented value, but require recalculation of the one child that was previously located at the subtree root. In the insertion case, the handcoded search phase must be updated to maintain the augmented information on insertion, and then the rbtree coloring/rebalancing algorithms keep it up to date. In the erase case, things are more complicated since it is library code that manipulates the rbtree in order to remove internal nodes. This requires a couple additional callbacks to copy a subtree's augmented value when a new root is stitched in, and to recompute augmented values down the ancestry path when a node is removed from the tree. In order to preserve maximum speed for the non-augmented case, we provide two versions of each tree manipulation function. rb_insert_augmented() is the augmented equivalent of rb_insert_color(), and rb_erase_augmented() is the augmented equivalent of rb_erase().

Empty nodes have no color. We can make use of this property to simplify the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros. Also, we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by commit 88d19cf3 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not being initialized. I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are doing there, though. axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f2 ("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev"). The way I see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense. One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to implement faster sysctl name lookups. This code doesn't make use of RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was required before node insertion.

I recently started looking at the rbtree code (with an eye towards improving the augmented rbtree support, but I haven't gotten there yet). I noticed a lot of possible speed improvements, which I am now proposing in this patch set. Patches 1-4 are preparatory: remove internal functions from rbtree.h so that users won't be tempted to use them instead of the documented APIs, clean up some incorrect usages I've noticed (in particular, with the recently added fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c rbtree usage), reference the documentation so that people have one less excuse to miss it, etc. Patch 5 is a small module I wrote to check the rbtree performance. It creates 100 nodes with random keys and repeatedly inserts and erases them from an rbtree. Additionally, it has code to check for rbtree invariants after each insert or erase operation. Patches 6-12 is where the rbtree optimizations are done, and they touch only that one file, lib/rbtree.c . I am getting good results out of these - in my small benchmark doing rbtree insertion (including search) and erase, I'm seeing a 30% runtime reduction on Sandybridge E5, which is more than I initially thought would be possible. (the results aren't as impressive on my two other test hosts though, AMD barcelona and Intel Westmere, where I am seeing 14% runtime reduction only). The code size - both source (ommiting comments) and compiled - is also shorter after these changes. However, I do admit that the updated code is more arduous to read - one big reason for that is the removal of the tree rotation helpers, which added some overhead but also made it easier to reason about things locally. Overall, I believe this is an acceptable compromise, given that this code doesn't get modified very often, and that I have good tests for it. Upon Peter's suggestion, I added comments showing the rtree configuration before every rotation. I think they help; however it's still best to have a copy of the cormen/leiserson/rivest book when digging into this code. This patch: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions include/linux/rbtree.h included some basic usage instructions, while Documentation/rbtree.txt had some more complete and easier to follow instructions.

shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

Rename VM_NODUMP into VM_DONTDUMP: this name matches other negative flags: VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_DONTCOPY. Currently this flag used only for sys_madvise. The next patch will use it for replacing the outdated flag VM_RESERVED. Also forbid madvise(MADV_DODUMP) for special kernel mappings VM_SPECIAL (VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_RESERVED | VM_PFNMAP) Signed-off-by: NKonstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: H.

Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c40 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and > reported as the result. > > Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a > reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. > > That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file > from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number > of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is > unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem. exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm, which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive. Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput(). mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special vma operation: ->remap_pages(). Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support, if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used. Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn ptes, special ptes and normal ptes. Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not expects page-faults. This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page(). BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover do_wp_page() can handle this. vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault handler.

With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn(). remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range. This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range() with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size (which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the existing memory attribute for the pfn range. Expose two different API's for these different behaviors. track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn() and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range(). This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the 'vma'.

When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP allocations cause pageout or compaction. Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

Add support to export the device description obtained from the ACPI _STR method, if one exists for a device, to user-space via a sysfs interface. This new interface provides a standard and platform neutral way for users to obtain the description text stored in the ACPI _STR method. If no _STR method exists for the device, no sysfs 'description' file will be created. The 'description' file will be located in the /sys/devices/ directory using the device's path. /sys/device/<bus>/<bridge path>/<device path>.../firmware_node/description Example: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00.07.0/0000:0e:00.0/firmware_node/description It can also be located using the ACPI device path, for example: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/PNP0A08:00/device:13/device:15/description /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/ACPI0004:01/ACPI0007:02/description Execute the 'cat' command on the 'description' file to obtain the description string for that device. This patch also includes documentation describing how the new sysfs interface works Changes from v1-v2 based on comments by Len Brown and Fengguang Wu * Removed output "No Description" and leaving a NULL attribute if the _STR method failed to evaluate. * In acpi_device_remove_files() removed the redundent check of dev->pnp.str_obj before calling free.

The code instantiating an i2c-mux-gpio platform device doesn't necessarily know in advance the GPIO pin numbers it wants to use. If pins are on a GPIO device which gets its base GPIO number assigned dynamically at run-time, the values can't be hard-coded. In that case, let the caller tell i2c-mux-gpio the name of the GPIO chip and the (relative) GPIO pin numbers to use. At probe time, the i2c-mux-gpio driver will look for the chip and apply the proper offset to turn relative GPIO pin numbers to absolute GPIO pin numbers. The same could be (and was so far) done on the caller's end, however doing it in i2c-mux-gpio has two benefits: * It avoids duplicating the code on every caller's side (about 30 lines of code.) * It allows for deferred probing for the muxed part of the I2C bus only. If finding the GPIO chip is the caller's responsibility, then deferred probing (if the GPIO chip isn't there yet) will not only affect the mux and the I2C bus segments behind it, but also the I2C bus trunk.

Add discard support to nbd. If the nbd-server supports discard, it will send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client. The client will then set the flag in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD). If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server. When the discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform: fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..) To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.
