      mm: rename allocflags_to_migratetype for clarity · 43e7a34d
      David Rientjes 提交于
      The page allocator has gfp flags (like __GFP_WAIT) and alloc flags (like
      ALLOC_CPUSET) that have separate semantics.
      
      The function allocflags_to_migratetype() actually takes gfp flags, not
      alloc flags, and returns a migratetype.  Rename it to
      gfpflags_to_migratetype().

      mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched() · 1f9efdef
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or
      need_resched() is true.  David Rientjes has reported that in practice,
      most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to
      need_resched().  This means that a second direct compaction is never
      attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended
      to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't.
      
      This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that
      distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to
      lock contention.  This allows propagating the abort through all compaction
      functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to
      __alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct
      reclaim and another compaction attempt.
      
      Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the
      reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately
      and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist.  When
      need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction,
      only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting.
       For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock
      contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last
      zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary.
      
      This patch fixes the problem in the following way:
      - async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal
        pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report
        COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator.
      - aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try
        another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back
        COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted,
        it was aborted due to lock contention.
      
      As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync
      compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to
      need_resched().  Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched()
      will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone
      compaction only to abort again.  Lock contention will be reported only
      when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore
      it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim.
      
      In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this
      has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows
      positive effect on khugepaged.  The benchmark's success rates are
      unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged.  Numbers of compact_stall
      and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with
      compact_success still a bit improved, which is good.  With benchmark
      configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP
      collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.

      mm, compaction: defer each zone individually instead of preferred zone · 53853e2d
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred
      for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async.
      Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further
      unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period.
      
      Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on
      the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction.  But
      compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so
      the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1)
      compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite
      good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below:
      
      1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set
         deferred compaction for the Normal zone.  Another unrelated direct
         compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32
         zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone.
      
         In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to
         compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not
         defer compaction.  In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which
         will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32
         directly.
      
      2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on
         watermarks looking good.  A direct compaction with preferred Normal
         zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal
         was still deferred.  The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but
         won't.
      
      This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis
      instead of preferred zone.  For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred()
      to decide if the zone should be skipped.  If watermarks fail after
      compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called.  The zone where
      watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is
      unsuccessful.  When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is
      called for the zone containing the allocated page.  This approach should
      approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was
      attempted and did not yield allocated page.  There might be corner cases
      but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not
      guarantee that a page will be allocated.
      
      Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying
      implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made
      more accurate.  The did_some_progress output parameter of
      __alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller
      actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered
      when direct reclaim sets it.
      
      During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone
      on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc
      mmtests benchmark.  The success here were previously made worse by commit
      3a025760 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking
      kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred
      compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus
      not considered for compaction.  On different machine, success rates were
      improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

      common: dma-mapping: introduce common remapping functions · 513510dd
      Laura Abbott 提交于
      For architectures without coherent DMA, memory for DMA may need to be
      remapped with coherent attributes.  Factor out the the remapping code from
      arm and put it in a common location to reduce code duplication.
      
      As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
      ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
       This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct
      as ioremap_page_range is intended to bring in io addresses into the cpu
      space and not regular kernel managed memory.

      mm: remove misleading ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE · 6a33979d
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
      _PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE.  This saved using an additional PTE bit and
      relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting
      fault scanner.  This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of
      implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found.
      
      Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
      PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE
      bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
      enough.  There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
      but the relics still exist.
      
      This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary
      duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types
      the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64
      equivalent.  This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that
      identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it
      is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE.
      The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64
      has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are
      mapped instead of duplicating code.

      mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache · bf0dea23
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really
      complicated.  We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the
      kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation
      through SLAB is impossible.
      
      On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way.  It uses
      percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg
      problem.
      
      So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB.  This simplifies the
      initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more
      easily.
      
      In my testing there is no performance difference.
      
      This implementation relies on percpu allocator.  Because percpu allocator
      uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by
      this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel.  This implementation
      can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation.
      
      Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches *
      	120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB
      Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) *

      topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the fallback node · ad2c8144
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Anton noticed (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html) that
      on ppc LPARs with memoryless nodes, a large amount of memory was consumed
      by slabs and was marked unreclaimable.  He tracked it down to slab
      deactivations in the SLUB core when we allocate remotely, leading to poor
      efficiency always when memoryless nodes are present.
      
      After much discussion, Joonsoo provided a few patches that help
      significantly.  They don't resolve the problem altogether:
      
       - memory hotplug still needs testing, that is when a memoryless node
         becomes memory-ful, we want to dtrt
       - there are other reasons for going off-node than memoryless nodes,
         e.g., fully exhausted local nodes
      
      Neither case is resolved with this series, but I don't think that should
      block their acceptance, as they can be explored/resolved with follow-on
      patches.
      
      The series consists of:
      
      [1/3] topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the
            fallback node
      
      [2/3] slub: fallback to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on
            memoryless node
      
            - Joonsoo's patches to cache the nearest node with memory for each
              NUMA node
      
      [3/3] Partial revert of 81c98869 (""kthread: ensure locality of
            task_struct allocations")
      
       - At Tejun's request, keep the knowledge of memoryless node fallback
         to the allocator core.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      We need to determine the fallback node in slub allocator if the allocation
      target node is memoryless node.  Without it, the SLUB wrongly select the
      node which has no memory and can't use a partial slab, because of node
      mismatch.  Introduced function, node_to_mem_node(X), will return a node Y
      with memory that has the nearest distance.  If X is memoryless node, it
      will return nearest distance node, but, if X is normal node, it will
      return itself.
      
      We will use this function in following patch to determine the fallback
      node.

      mm/sl[ao]b: always track caller in kmalloc_(node_)track_caller() · 61f47105
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Now, we track caller if tracing or slab debugging is enabled.  If they are
      disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling
      __kmalloc(_node)().  But, I think that it would be marginal.  Furthermore,
      default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that
      it's okay to change this situation.
      
      After this change, we can turn on/off CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB without full
      kernel build and remove some complicated '#if' defintion.  It looks more
      benefitial to me.

      mm/slab_common: move kmem_cache definition to internal header · 07f361b2
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
      don't need to inline kmem_cache_size().  According to my code inspection,
      this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
      be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
      it.  Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
      internal header.
      
      After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
      kernel build.  For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
      full kernel build.

      proc/maps: make vm_is_stack() logic namespace-friendly · 58cb6548
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      - Rename vm_is_stack() to task_of_stack() and change it to return
        "struct task_struct *" rather than the global (and thus wrong in
        general) pid_t.
      
      - Add the new pid_of_stack() helper which calls task_of_stack() and
        uses the right namespace to report the correct pid_t.
      
        Unfortunately we need to define this helper twice, in task_mmu.c
        and in task_nommu.c. perhaps it makes sense to add fs/proc/util.c
        and move at least pid_of_stack/task_of_stack there to avoid the
        code duplication.
      
      - Change show_map_vma() and show_numa_map() to use the new helper.

      net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support · 02875878
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
      I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
      
      Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
      
      Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
      packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
      
      The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
      before even taking qdisc lock.
      
      As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
      packet schedulers or classifiers.
      
      This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
      or qdiscs/classifiers.
      
      Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
      following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
      
      	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
      ->
      	netif_keep_dst(dev);
      
      Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
      eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
      
      The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
      rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
      smarter later.

      net: phy: adjust fixed_phy_register() return value · fd2ef0ba
      Petri Gynther 提交于
      Adjust fixed_phy_register() to return struct phy_device *, so that
      it becomes easy to use fixed PHYs without device tree support:
      
        phydev = fixed_phy_register(PHY_POLL, &fixed_phy_status, NULL);
        fixed_phy_set_link_update(phydev, fixed_phy_link_update);
        phy_connect_direct(netdev, phydev, handler_fn, phy_interface);
      
      This change is a prerequisite for modifying bcmgenet driver to work
      without a device tree on Broadcom's MIPS-based 7xxx platforms.
