get more testing of the c_p_a() code done by not turning off PSE on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. this simplifies the early pagetable setup code, and tests the largepage-splitup code quite heavily. In the end, all the largepages will be split up pretty quickly, so there's no difference to how DEBUG_PAGEALLOC worked before.

They now look like: hal-resmgr[13791]: segfault at 3c rip 2b9c8caec182 rsp 7fff1e825d30 error 4 in libacl.so.1.1.0[2b9c8caea000+6000] This makes it easier to pinpoint bugs to specific libraries. And printing the offset into a mapping also always allows to find the correct fault point in a library even with randomized mappings. Previously there was no way to actually find the correct code address inside the randomized mapping. Relies on earlier patch to shorten the printk formats. They are often now longer than 80 characters, but I think that's worth it.

If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the security checks. Since this is just a hint address this patch will round such a hint address above mmap_min_addr. gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses in the 8k-32k range. Without this patch all such programs failed and with the patch they happily get a higher address. This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what. So we should not bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a waste of time. Signed-off-by: NEric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJames Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

After moving the lockless_freelist to kmem_cache_cpu we no longer need page->lockless_freelist. Restructure the use of the struct page fields in such a way that we never touch the mapping field.

The commit b5810039 contains the note A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue. And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems. There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup. This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!). There are several broad ways to fix this problem: 1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE 2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES 3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit that I can see. Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be used). As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not increase much without it. When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000 ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000 page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss. Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions, we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it. The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked. I don't see much use to them except on benchmarks. All other users of ZERO_PAGE are converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are more satisfied with this solution.

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. [apw@shadowen.org: config cleanups, resplit code etc] [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix sparsemem_vmemmap init] [apw@shadowen.org: vmemmap: remove excess debugging] [apw@shadowen.org: simplify initialisation code and reduce duplication] [apw@shadowen.org: pull out the vmemmap code into its own file] Signed-off-by: NChristoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NAndy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: NMel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: "David S.

The new exec code inserts an accounted vma into an mm struct which is not current->mm. The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption that this does not happen as does the security code. As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the helper function. A new security test is added for the case where we need to pass the mm and the existing one is modified to pass current->mm to avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

This is a minimal readahead algorithm that aims to replace the current one. It is more flexible and reliable, while maintaining almost the same behavior and performance. Also it is full integrated with adaptive readahead. It is designed to be called on demand: - on a missing page, to do synchronous readahead - on a lookahead page, to do asynchronous readahead In this way it eliminated the awkward workarounds for cache hit/miss, readahead thrashing, retried read, and unaligned read. It also adopts the data structure introduced by adaptive readahead, parameterizes readahead pipelining with `lookahead_index', and reduces the current/ahead windows to one single window. HEURISTICS The logic deals with four cases: - sequential-next found a consistent readahead window, so push it forward - random standalone small read, so read as is - sequential-first create a new readahead window for a sequential/oversize request - lookahead-clueless hit a lookahead page not associated with the readahead window, so create a new readahead window and ramp it up In each case, three parameters are determined: - readahead index: where the next readahead begins - readahead size: how much to readahead - lookahead size: when to do the next readahead (for pipelining) BEHAVIORS The old behaviors are maximally preserved for trivial sequential/random reads. Notable changes are: - It no longer imposes strict sequential checks. It might help some interleaved cases, and clustered random reads. It does introduce risks of a random lookahead hit triggering an unexpected readahead. But in general it is more likely to do good than to do evil. - Interleaved reads are supported in a minimal way. Their chances of being detected and proper handled are still low. - Readahead thrashings are better handled. The current readahead leads to tiny average I/O sizes, because it never turn back for the thrashed pages. They have to be fault in by do_generic_mapping_read() one by one. Whereas the on-demand readahead will redo readahead for them. OVERHEADS The new code reduced the overheads of - excessively calling the readahead routine on small sized reads (the current readahead code insists on seeing all requests) - doing a lot of pointless page-cache lookups for small cached files (the current readahead only turns itself off after 256 cache hits, unfortunately most files are < 1MB, so never see that chance) That accounts for speedup of - 0.3% on 1-page sequential reads on sparse file - 1.2% on 1-page cache hot sequential reads - 3.2% on 256-page cache hot sequential reads - 1.3% on cache hot `tar /lib` However, it does introduce one extra page-cache lookup per cache miss, which impacts random reads slightly. That's 1% overheads for 1-page random reads on sparse file.

Some investigations show that - MySQL is accessing the db file non-uniformly: some parts are more hot than others - It is mostly doing 4-page random reads, and sometimes doing two reads in a row, the latter one triggers a 16-page readahead. - The on-demand readahead leaves many lookahead pages (flagged PG_readahead) there. Many of them will be hit, and trigger more readahead pages. Which might save more seeks. - Naturally, the readahead windows tend to lie in hot areas, and the lookahead pages in hot areas is more likely to be hit. - The more overall read density, the more possible gain.

Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte. FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to arch code). This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were going to do that anyway. struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use without really good reason. The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page. Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page. The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page, before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache, do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache. The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation. This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the file's i_size, and its truncate_count. Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated truncate_count is actually visible). Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same place will see a different page. Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large performance hit. Scalability is not an issue. This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while holding the lock). This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

Detect slab objects being passed to the page oriented functions of the VM. It is not sufficient to simply return NULL because the functions calling page_mapping may depend on other items of the page_struct also to be setup properly. Moreover slab object may not be properly aligned. The page oriented functions of the VM expect to operate on page aligned, page sized objects. Operations on object straddling page boundaries may only affect the objects partially which may lead to surprising results. It is better to detect eventually remaining uses and eliminate them.

In addition, the parsing code can be handled in an architecture-independent manner. This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing (i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will ignore the boot parameter.

The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page. page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in there. Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent. They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e. if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB. Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there right now. Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger blocks than page size. We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

Minimum gcc version is 3.2 now. However, with likely profiling, even modern gcc versions cannot always eliminate the call. Replace the placeholder functions with the more conventional empty static inlines, which should be optimal for everyone.

Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given function to every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm structure. This is a generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking code in every place that a sequence of PTEs must be accessed. Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O memory (in ioremap()).
