To be consistent with other genalloc interface namings, rename dev_get_gen_pool() to gen_pool_get(). The original omitted "dev_" prefix is removed, since it points to argument type of the function, and so it does not bring any useful information.

In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk (inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of correct ending address. The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending address will be 0x100000000. Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c: devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool. devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to automatically destroy it after device removal. dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find. of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a platform device node. The corresponding platform device is then fed into dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.

The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in the bitmap. That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits (LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then. The same works for the lookup functions. The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap. However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for example, could be allocated for 70 bits. This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines. This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to set or check for a bit. This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits. What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of bytes. Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO. So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when rmmod'ed.

Premit use of another algorithm than the default first-fit one. For example a custom algorithm could be used to manage alignment requirements. As I can't predict all the possible requirements/needs for all allocation uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed information to the allocation function. For example 'data' could be used to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the allocation algorithm. An usage example may look like this: struct my_pool_constraints { int align; int bank; ... }; unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size, unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data) { struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data; ... deal with allocation contraints ... return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation } void create_my_pool() { struct my_pool_constraints c; struct gen_pool *pool = gen_pool_create(...); gen_pool_add(pool, ...); gen_pool_set_algo(pool, my_custom_algo, &c); } Add of best-fit algorithm function: most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the best-fit algorithm is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't. This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500 (in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of static allocations becomes unmaintainable: cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM . ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */ ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE 0x40000000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE 0x00020000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 U8500_ESRAM_BASE ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 (U8500_ESRAM_BASE + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET 0x10000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCPA_BASE (U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 + U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCLA_BASE U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to fine tune the allocation algorithm.

This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless operation. This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU. The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory is preallocated. The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

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.

There is a call to write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy which is not balanced by any corresponding write_unlock(). This causes problems with preemption because the preemption-disable counter is incremented in the write_lock() call, but never decremented by any call to write_unlock(). This bug is gen_pool_destroy, and one of them is non-x86 arch-specific code.

kmalloc_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node() were not available in a zeroing variant in the past. But with __GFP_ZERO it is possible now to do zeroing while allocating. Use __GFP_ZERO to remove the explicit clearing of memory via memset whereever we can.

Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate the touching of the actual memory being allocated. Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator (arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required. Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed.

This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2 mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split off from the driver. The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2 driver. Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch. Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2 right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently). On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory. Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.
