      mm: kill validate_anon_vma to avoid mapcount BUG · 30acbaba
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      validate_anon_vma gave a useful check on the integrity of the anon_vma list
      when Andrea was developing obj rmap; but it was not enabled in SLES9
      itself, nor in mainline, until Nick changed commented-out RMAP_DEBUG to
      configurable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM in 2.6.17.  Now Petr Vandrovec reports that
      its BUG_ON(mapcount > 100000) can easily crash a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y system.
      
      That limit was just an arbitrary number to protect against an infinite
      loop.  We could raise it to something enormous (depending on sizeof struct
      vma and size of memory?); but I rather think validate_anon_vma has outlived
      its usefulness, and is better just removed - which gives a magnificent
      performance boost to anything like Petr's test program ;)
      
      Of course, a very long anon_vma list is bad news for preemption latency,
      and I believe there has been one recent report of such: let's not forget
      that, but validate_anon_vma only makes it worse not better.

      mm: Fix memory/cpu hotplug section mismatch and oops. · d09c6b80
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      When building with memory hotplug enabled and cpu hotplug disabled, we
      end up with the following section mismatch:
      
      WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x4e58): Section mismatch: reference to
      .init.text: (between 'free_area_init_node' and '__build_all_zonelists')
      
      This happens as a result of:
      
              -> free_area_init_node()
                -> free_area_init_core()
                  -> zone_pcp_init() <-- all __meminit up to this point
                    -> zone_batchsize() <-- marked as __cpuinit                     fo
      
      This happens because CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n sets __cpuinit to __init, but
      CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y unsets __meminit.
      
      Changing zone_batchsize() to __devinit fixes this.
      
      __devinit is the only thing that is common between CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and
      CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y. In the long run, perhaps this should be moved to
      another section identifier completely. Without this, memory hot-add
      of offline nodes (via hotadd_new_pgdat()) will oops if CPU hotplug is
      not also enabled.

      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      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%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up
      	arm
      	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
      	ia64 ia64-up
      	m68k
      	mips
      	parisc parisc-up
      	powerpc powerpc-up
      	s390 s390-up
      	sparc sparc-up
      	sparc64 sparc64-up
      	um-x86_64
      	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig
      
      as well as my two usual configs.
