      mm: distinguish between mlocked and pinned pages · bc3e53f6
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
      increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".
      
      The difference between mlocking and pinning is:
      
      A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
         swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
         They are kept on a special LRU list.
      
      B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
         directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
         LRU list.
      
      I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
      bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
      memory was accounted for twice:
      
      Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
      layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
      memory.
      
      This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
      accounts them seperately.

      mm: export __get_user_pages · 0014bd99
      Huang Ying 提交于
      In most cases, get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast should be used
      to pin user pages in memory.  But sometimes, some special flags except
      FOLL_GET, FOLL_WRITE and FOLL_FORCE are needed, for example in
      following patch, KVM needs FOLL_HWPOISON.  To support these users,
      __get_user_pages is exported directly.
      
      There are some symbol name conflicts in infiniband driver, fixed them too.

      RDMA: Update workqueue usage · f0626710
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      * ib_wq is added, which is used as the common workqueue for infiniband
        instead of the system workqueue.  All system workqueue usages
        including flush_scheduled_work() callers are converted to use and
        flush ib_wq.
      
      * cancel_delayed_work() + flush_scheduled_work() converted to
        cancel_delayed_work_sync().
      
      * qib_wq is removed and ib_wq is used instead.
      
      This is to prepare for deprecation of flush_scheduled_work().

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
