      [PATCH] remove non-DISCONTIG use of pgdat->node_mem_map · 408fde81
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
      of the DISCONTIG code.  On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
      currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.
      
      There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures.  Its use
      along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent.  It has
      been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:
      
      	pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
      	nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)
      
      I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
      "NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways.  I
      believe the newer names are much clearer.
      
      These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
      slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead.  We could
      make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
      much at once.  One thing at a time.
      
      This patch removes more code than it adds.
      
      Compile tested on alpha, alpha discontig, arm, arm-discontig, i386, i386

      [IA64] Percpu quicklist for combined allocator for pgd/pmd/pte. · fde740e4
      Robin Holt 提交于
      This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
      by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
      This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.
      
      This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
      It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
      cpus quicklist.  This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
      quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
      fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
      or exiting.  With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
      machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
      the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
      table cache flushing will never occur.
      
      I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
      this patch and did not notice any change.
      
      On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
      due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
      the run.  I did not investigate further.
      
      This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
      instead of the high/low water marks.  I have written it to enable
      preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
      we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
      I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
      draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
