      memory hotplug: free memmaps allocated by bootmem · 0c0a4a51
      由 Yasunori Goto 提交于 
      This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.

Freeing usemap is not necessary.  The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.

If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page.  (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater.  If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon.  It will be
disaster.  So, this patch keeps it as it is.

      memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdat · 86f6dae1
      由 Yasunori Goto 提交于 
      Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.

Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
on only one page.  If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
other sections.  This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.

Pgdat has similar feature.  When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
section for removing on the node.  So, if section A has pgdat and section B
has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
each other.

To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
removed finally.

      memory hotplug: register section/node id to free · 04753278
      由 Yasunori Goto 提交于 
      This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove.  Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem.  ex) memmap, etc.

To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance.  This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.

Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id).  When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it.  By this information, some issues can be
solved.

  1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
     section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
  2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
     same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
     logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
     page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
     be removed physically soon.
  3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
     kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
     before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
  4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
     memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
     Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
     just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
     removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
     (Not implemented yet.)
  5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
     will be able to be solved too by this.
     (Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)

Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.

This patch:

This is to register information which is node or section's id.  Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem.  This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

      mm: make mem_map allocation continuous · e123dd3f
      由 Yinghai Lu 提交于 
      vmemmap allocation currently has this layout:

 [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810002000000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810002400000 on node 0
...

note that there is a 2M hole between them - not optimal.

the root cause is that usemap (24 bytes) will be allocated after every 2M
mem_map, and it will push next vmemmap (2M) to the next (2M) alignment.

solution: try to allocate the mem_map continously.

after the patch, we get:

 [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001600000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810001a00000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
...

which is the ideal layout.

and usemap will share a page because of they are allocated continuously too:

sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00000 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00080 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00100 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00180 size = 24
...

so we make the bootmem allocation more compact and use less memory
for usemap => mission accomplished ;-)

      mm: sparsemem memory_present() fix · bead9a3a
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.

If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
memory section map:

    for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
                unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
                struct mem_section *ms;

                sparse_index_init(section, nid);
                set_section_nid(section, nid);

                ms = __nr_to_section(section);
                if (!ms->section_mem_map)
                        ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
			                                SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;

'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.

The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:

	mmzone.h:#define	SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT	(1UL<<0)

The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
sparsemem.

This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.

An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
trimmed memory ranges.

      Fix corruption of memmap on IA64 SPARSEMEM when mem_section is not a power of 2 · 5c0e3066
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      There are problems in the use of SPARSEMEM and pageblock flags that causes
problems on ia64.

The first part of the problem is that units are incorrect in
SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS computation.  This results in a map_section's
section_mem_map being treated as part of a bitmap which isn't good.  This
was evident with an invalid virtual address when mem_init attempted to free
bootmem pages while relinquishing control from the bootmem allocator.

The second part of the problem occurs because the pageblock flags bitmap is
be located with the mem_section.  The SECTIONS_PER_ROOT computation using
sizeof (mem_section) may not be a power of 2 depending on the size of the
bitmap.  This renders masks and other such things not power of 2 base.
This issue was seen with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME on ia64.  This patch moves the
bitmap outside of mem_section and uses a pointer instead in the
mem_section.  The bitmaps are allocated when the section is being
initialised.

Note that sparse_early_usemap_alloc() does not use alloc_remap() like
sparse_early_mem_map_alloc().  The allocation required for the bitmap on
x86, the only architecture that uses alloc_remap is typically smaller than
a cache line.  alloc_remap() pads out allocations to the cache size which
would be a needless waste.

Credit to Bob Picco for identifying the original problem and effecting a
fix for the SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS calculation.  Credit to Andy Whitcroft
for devising the best way of allocating the bitmaps only when required for
the section.

      Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM · 8f6aac41
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all
the arches.  It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get
rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps.  So far
what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces
for virt_to_page and page_address.  This goes so far that the code to do this
has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.

This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
physically backed.  This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
simple shift/add operations.  No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
involving memory is required.

The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:

   #define __pfn_to_page(pfn)      (vmemmap + (pfn))
   #define __page_to_pfn(page)     ((page) - vmemmap)

By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
wasting physical memory.  As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
this introduces no additional overhead.  The virtual mapping must be big
enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
physical pages.  This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.

However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e.  true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry.  vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.

This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems.  It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms.  Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

      We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map

to indicate a section is valid.  By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.

Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map.  Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit.  Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.

platforms that support 36 address bits.

However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e.  true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry.  vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.

This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems.  It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms.  Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

The current aim is to bring a common virtually mapped mem_map to all
architectures.  This should facilitate the removal of the bespoke
implementations from the architectures.  This also brings performance
improvements for most architecture making sparsmem vmemmap the more desirable
memory model.  The ultimate aim of this work is to expand sparsemem support to
encompass all the features of the other memory models.  This could allow us to
drop support for and remove the other models in the longer term.

Below are some comparitive kernbench numbers for various architectures,
comparing default memory model against SPARSEMEM VMEMMAP.  All but ia64 show
marginal improvement; we expect the ia64 figures to be sorted out when the
larger mapping support returns.

      sparsemem: ensure we initialise the node mapping for SPARSEMEM_STATIC · 85770ffe
      由 Andy Whitcroft 提交于 
      Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:

	Initializing HighMem for node 0 (00038000:00100000)
	Initializing HighMem for node 1 (00100000:001ffe00)
	------------[ cut here ]------------
	kernel BUG at /home/apw/git/linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c:456!
	[...]

This occurs because the section to node id mapping is not being
setup correctly during init under SPARSEMEM_STATIC, leading to an
attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.

When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new
section to node mapping table was introduced:

    commit 89689ae7
    [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]

That conversion inadvertantly only initialised the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.  Ensure we initialise the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

      [PATCH] numa node ids are int, page_to_nid and zone_to_nid should return int · 25ba77c1
      由 Andy Whitcroft 提交于 
      NUMA node ids are passed as either int or unsigned int almost exclusivly
page_to_nid and zone_to_nid both return unsigned long.  This is a throw
back to when page_to_nid was a #define and was thus exposing the real type
of the page flags field.

In addition to fixing up the definitions of page_to_nid and zone_to_nid I
audited the users of these functions identifying the following incorrect
uses:

1) mm/page_alloc.c show_node() -- printk dumping the node id,
2) include/asm-ia64/pgalloc.h pgtable_quicklist_free() -- comparison
   against numa_node_id() which returns an int from cpu_to_node(), and
3) mm/mpolicy.c check_pte_range -- used as an index in node_isset which
   uses bit_set which in generic code takes an int.

      [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[] · 89689ae7
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      The zone table is mostly not needed.  If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.

In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field.  In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.

The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags.  In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
 This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.

For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table.  The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

      [PATCH] memory hotplug: __GFP_NOWARN is better for __kmalloc_section_memmap() · f2d0aa5b
      由 Yasunori Goto 提交于 
      Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to calling of __alloc_pages() in
__kmalloc_section_memmap().  It can reduce noisy failure message.

In ia64, section size is 1 GB, this means that order 8 pages are necessary
for each section's memmap.  It is often very hard requirement under heavy
memory pressure as you know.  So, __alloc_pages() gives up allocation and
shows many noisy stack traces which means no page for each sections.
(Current my environment shows 32 times of stack trace....)

But, __kmalloc_section_memmap() calls vmalloc() after failure of it, and it
can succeed allocation of memmap.  So, its stack trace warning becomes just
noisy.  I suppose it shouldn't be shown.

      [PATCH] SPARSEMEM incorrectly calculates section number · 12783b00
      由 Mike Kravetz 提交于 
      A bad calculation/loop in __section_nr() could result in incorrect section
information being put into sysfs memory entries.  This primarily impacts
memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new
memory.

Fix suggested by Dave Hansen.

Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch.  It actually occurs in
the function's return statement:

	return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root);

In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by
SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.
