      percpu: use group information to allocate vmap areas sparsely · 6563297c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      ai->groups[] contains which units need to be put consecutively and at
      what offset from the chunk base address.  Compile this information
      into pcpu_group_offsets[] and pcpu_group_sizes[] in
      pcpu_setup_first_chunk() and use them to allocate sparse vm areas
      using pcpu_get_vm_areas().
      
      This will be used to allow directly using sparse NUMA memories as
      percpu areas.

      percpu: add chunk->base_addr · bba174f5
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The only thing percpu allocator wants to know about a vmalloc area is
      the base address.  Instead of requiring chunk->vm, add
      chunk->base_addr which contains the necessary value.  This simplifies
      the code a bit and makes the dummy first_vm unnecessary.  This change
      will ease allowing a chunk to be mapped by multiple vms.

      percpu: add pcpu_unit_offsets[] · fb435d52
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently units are mapped sequentially into address space.  This
      patch adds pcpu_unit_offsets[] which allows units to be mapped to
      arbitrary offsets from the chunk base address.  This is necessary to
      allow sparse embedding which might would need to allocate address
      ranges and memory areas which aren't aligned to unit size but
      allocation atom size (page or large page size).  This also simplifies
      things a bit by removing the need to calculate offset from unit
      number.
      
      With this change, there's no need for the arch code to know
      pcpu_unit_size.  Update pcpu_setup_first_chunk() and first chunk
      allocators to return regular 0 or -errno return code instead of unit
      size or -errno.

      percpu: introduce pcpu_alloc_info and pcpu_group_info · fd1e8a1f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Till now, non-linear cpu->unit map was expressed using an integer
      array which maps each cpu to a unit and used only by lpage allocator.
      Although how many units have been placed in a single contiguos area
      (group) is known while building unit_map, the information is lost when
      the result is recorded into the unit_map array.  For lpage allocator,
      as all allocations are done by lpages and whether two adjacent lpages
      are in the same group or not is irrelevant, this didn't cause any
      problem.  Non-linear cpu->unit mapping will be used for sparse
      embedding and this grouping information is necessary for that.
      
      This patch introduces pcpu_alloc_info which contains all the
      information necessary for initializing percpu allocator.
      pcpu_alloc_info contains array of pcpu_group_info which describes how
      units are grouped and mapped to cpus.  pcpu_group_info also has
      base_offset field to specify its offset from the chunk's base address.
      pcpu_build_alloc_info() initializes this field as if all groups are
      allocated back-to-back as is currently done but this will be used to
      sparsely place groups.
      
      pcpu_alloc_info is a rather complex data structure which contains a
      flexible array which in turn points to nested cpu_map arrays.
      
      * pcpu_alloc_alloc_info() and pcpu_free_alloc_info() are provided to
        help dealing with pcpu_alloc_info.
      
      * pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() is updated to build pcpu_alloc_info,
        generalized and renamed to pcpu_build_alloc_info().
        @cpu_distance_fn may be NULL indicating that all cpus are of
        LOCAL_DISTANCE.
      
      * pcpul_lpage_dump_cfg() is updated to process pcpu_alloc_info,
        generalized and renamed to pcpu_dump_alloc_info().  It now also
        prints which group each alloc unit belongs to.
      
      * pcpu_setup_first_chunk() now takes pcpu_alloc_info instead of the
        separate parameters.  All first chunk allocators are updated to use
        pcpu_build_alloc_info() to build alloc_info and call
        pcpu_setup_first_chunk() with it.  This has the side effect of
        packing units for sparse possible cpus.  ie. if cpus 0, 2 and 4 are
        possible, they'll be assigned unit 0, 1 and 2 instead of 0, 2 and 4.
      
      * x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() is updated to deal with alloc_info.
      
      * sparc64 setup_per_cpu_areas() is updated to build alloc_info.
      
      Although the changes made by this patch are pretty pervasive, it
      doesn't cause any behavior difference other than packing of sparse
      cpus.  It mostly changes how information is passed among
      initialization functions and makes room for more flexibility.

      percpu: teach large page allocator about NUMA · a530b795
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Large page first chunk allocator is primarily used for NUMA machines;
      however, its NUMA handling is extremely simplistic.  Regardless of
      their proximity, each cpu is put into separate large page just to
      return most of the allocated space back wasting large amount of
      vmalloc space and increasing cache footprint.
      
      This patch teachs NUMA details to large page allocator.  Given
      processor proximity information, pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() will find
      fitting cpu -> unit mapping in which cpus in LOCAL_DISTANCE share the
      same large page and not too much virtual address space is wasted.
      
      This greatly reduces the unit and thus chunk size and wastes much less
      address space for the first chunk.  For example, on 4/4 NUMA machine,
      the original code occupied 16MB of virtual space for the first chunk
      while the new code only uses 4MB - one 2MB page for each node.

      percpu: allow non-linear / sparse cpu -> unit mapping · 2f39e637
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently cpu and unit are always identity mapped.  To allow more
      efficient large page support on NUMA and lazy allocation for possible
      but offline cpus, cpu -> unit mapping needs to be non-linear and/or
      sparse.  This can be easily implemented by adding a cpu -> unit
      mapping array and using it whenever looking up the matching unit for a
      cpu.
      
      The only unusal conversion is in pcpu_chunk_addr_search().  The passed
      in address is unit0 based and unit0 might not be in use so it needs to
      be converted to address of an in-use unit.  This is easily done by
      adding the unit offset for the current processor.

      percpu: drop pcpu_chunk->page[] · ce3141a2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      percpu core doesn't need to tack all the allocated pages.  It needs to
      know whether certain pages are populated and a way to reverse map
      address to page when freeing.  This patch drops pcpu_chunk->page[] and
      use populated bitmap and vmalloc_to_page() lookup instead.  Using
      vmalloc_to_page() exclusively is also possible but complicates first
      chunk handling, inflates cache footprint and prevents non-standard
      memory allocation for percpu memory.
      
      pcpu_chunk->page[] was used to track each page's allocation and
      allowed asymmetric population which happens during failure path;
      however, with single bitmap for all units, this is no longer possible.
      Bite the bullet and rewrite (de)populate functions so that things are
      done in clearly separated steps such that asymmetric population
      doesn't happen.  This makes the (de)population process much more
      modular and will also ease implementing non-standard memory usage in
      the future (e.g. large pages).
      
      This makes @get_page_fn parameter to pcpu_setup_first_chunk()
      unnecessary.  The parameter is dropped and all first chunk helpers are
      updated accordingly.  Please note that despite the volume most changes
      to first chunk helpers are symbol renames for variables which don't
      need to be referenced outside of the helper anymore.
      
      This change reduces memory usage and cache footprint of pcpu_chunk.
      Now only #unit_pages bits are necessary per chunk.

      percpu: make 4k first chunk allocator map memory · 8f05a6a6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      At first, percpu first chunk was always setup page-by-page by the
      generic code.  To add other allocators, different parts of the generic
      initialization was made optional.  Now we have three allocators -
      embed, remap and 4k.  embed and remap fully handle allocation and
      mapping of the first chunk while 4k still depends on generic code for
      those.  This makes the generic alloc/map paths specifci to 4k and
      makes the code unnecessary complicated with optional generic
      behaviors.
      
      This patch makes the 4k allocator to allocate and map memory directly
      instead of depending on the generic code.  The only outside visible
      change is that now dynamic area in the first chunk is allocated
      up-front instead of on-demand.  This doesn't make any meaningful
      difference as the area is minimal (usually less than a page, just
      enough to fill the alignment) on 4k allocator.  Plus, dynamic area in
      the first chunk usually gets fully used anyway.
      
      This will allow simplification of pcpu_setpu_first_chunk() and removal
      of chunk->page array.

      x86: make pcpu_chunk_addr_search() matching stricter · 79ba6ac8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The @addr passed into pcpu_chunk_addr_search() is unit0 based address
      and thus should be matched inside unit0 area.  Currently, when it uses
      chunk size when determining whether the address falls in the first
      chunk.  Addresses in unitN where N>0 shouldn't be passed in anyway, so
      this doesn't cause any malfunction but fix it for consistency.

      percpu: use dynamic percpu allocator as the default percpu allocator · e74e3962
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
      dynamic percpu allocator.  The first chunk is allocated using
      embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules.  This ensures that
      the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
      as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
      introduce much breakage.
      
      s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
      range limit the addressing model imposes.  Unfortunately, this breaks
      if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
      archs aren't converted.
      
      The following architectures are affected by this change.
      
      * sh
      * arm
      * cris
      * mips
      * sparc(32)
      * blackfin
      * avr32
      * parisc (broken, under investigation)
      * m32r
      * powerpc(32)
      
      As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
      CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
      CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
      archs.  These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
      conversion is not trivial.
      
      * powerpc(64)
      * sparc(64)
      * ia64
      * alpha
      * s390
      
      Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
      doesn't use default first chunk initialization).  Compile tested on
      sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
      
      Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc.  The problem is
      still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
      forward and fixing parisc later.

      x86: implement percpu_alloc kernel parameter · fa8a7094
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
      trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
      PTE TLB.  The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
      size of percpu area and specific processor.  As performance
      degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
      and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
      data.
      
      This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
      which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
      
      While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
      failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working.  Also,
      kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
      quite some time ago.

      percpu: remove rbtree and use page->index instead · e1b9aa3f
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Impact: use page->index for addr to chunk mapping instead of dedicated rbtree
      
      The rbtree is used to determine the chunk from the virtual address.
      However, we can already determine the page struct from a virtual
      address and there are several unused fields in page struct used by
      vmalloc.  Use the index field to store a pointer to the chunk. Then
      there is no need anymore for an rbtree.
      
      tj: * s/(set|get)_chunk/pcpu_\1_page_chunk/
      
          * Drop inline from the above two functions and moved them upwards
            so that they are with other simple helpers.
      
          * Initial pages might not (actually most of the time don't) live
            in the vmalloc area.  With the previous patch to manually
            reverse-map both first chunks, this is no longer an issue.

      Impact: both first chunks don't use rbtree, no functional change
      
      There can be two first chunks - reserved and dynamic with the former

      rbtree while the reserved one was mapped manually using the start

      percpu: finer grained locking to break deadlock and allow atomic free · ccea34b5
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: fix deadlock and allow atomic free
      
      Percpu allocation always uses GFP_KERNEL and whole alloc/free paths
      were protected by single mutex.  All percpu allocations have been from
      GFP_KERNEL-safe context and the original allocator had this assumption
      too.  However, by protecting both alloc and free paths with the same
      mutex, the new allocator creates free -> alloc -> GFP_KERNEL
      dependency which the original allocator didn't have.  This can lead to
      deadlock if free is called from FS or IO paths.  Also, in general,
      allocators are expected to allow free to be called from atomic
      context.
      
      This patch implements finer grained locking to break the deadlock and
      allow atomic free.  For details, please read the "Synchronization
      rules" comment.
      
      While at it, also add CONTEXT: to function comments to describe which
      context they expect to be called from and what they do to it.

      Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
      	percpu variables
      
      This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk.  When
      setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
      of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
      through a separate reserved allocator.  This will be used primarily
      for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
      relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
      the relocatable range.
      
      If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
      isn't available for regular allocation.  If the first chunk also
      includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
      the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.  The first one
      is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
      Although they share the page map, their different area map
      initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
      purposes.
      
      If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
      like any other allocation.
