      [PATCH] unpaged: PG_reserved bad_page · 689bcebf
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      It used to be the case that PG_reserved pages were silently never freed, but
in 2.6.15-rc1 they may be freed with a "Bad page state" message.  We should
work through such cases as they appear, fixing the code; but for now it's
safer to issue the message without freeing the page, leaving PG_reserved set.

      [PATCH] unpaged: unifdefed PageCompound · 664beed0
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way
of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by
our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas.  We cannot fix that bug without
first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while
farming out the 0-order pages from within it.

That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.  Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line
put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using
hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone · a2f1b424
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.

As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
dealing with one DMA zone.  We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.

But this has always caused problems since then because
device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
it can deal with many zones successfully.

So this patch adds both zones.

This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
was not enough memory.

Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
(like transmit rings or other metadata).  They tended to allocate memory
in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
many devices.  With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.

One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
it seems to be the most common restriction.

The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.

For other architectures who don't set up this
new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
enough.

One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64  use GFP_DMA
(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
ugly and is now obsolete.

These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.

      [PATCH] mm: wider use of for_each_*cpu() · 2f96996d
      由 John Hawkes 提交于 
      In 'mm' change the explicit use of a for-loop using NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() constructs.  This widens the scope of potential
future optimizations of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage
of the existing optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is
advantageous when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

      [PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock · 208d54e5
      由 Dave Hansen 提交于 
      pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.

Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem().  However, they are all included for completeness.  This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.

This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated.  This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed.  The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

      [PATCH] memory hotplug prep: fixup bad_range() · c6a57e19
      由 Dave Hansen 提交于 
      When doing memory hotplug operations, the size of existing zones can obviously
change.  This means that zone->zone_{start_pfn,spanned_pages} can change.

There are currently no locks that protect these structure members.  However,
they are rarely accessed at runtime.  Outside of swsusp, the only place that I
can find is bad_range().

So, split bad_range() up into two pieces: one that needs to be locked and
anther that doesn't.

      [PATCH] mm: split page table lock · 4c21e2f2
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

      [PATCH] core remove PageReserved · b5810039
      由 Nick Piggin 提交于 
      Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.

PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.

All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.

MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated.  We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).

Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.

Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not.  This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).

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.
