bad_page() and rmap Eeek messages have said KERN_EMERG for a few years, which I've followed in print_bad_pte(). These are serious system errors, on a par with BUGs, but they're not quite emergencies, and we do our best to carry on: say KERN_ALERT "BUG: " like the x86 oops does. And remove the "Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed" line: it's not untrue, but I hope the KERN_ALERT "BUG: " conveys as much.

print_bad_pte() and bad_page() might each need ratelimiting - especially for their dump_stacks, almost never of interest, yet not quite dispensible. Correlating corruption across neighbouring entries can be very helpful, so allow a burst of 60 reports before keeping quiet for the remainder of that minute (or allow a steady drip of one report per second).

print_bad_pte() is so far being called only when zap_pte_range() finds negative page_mapcount, or there's a fault on a pte_file where it does not belong. That's weak coverage when we suspect pagetable corruption. Originally, it was called when vm_normal_page() found an invalid pfn: but pfn_valid is expensive on some architectures and configurations, so 2.6.24 put that under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (which doesn't help in the field), then 2.6.26 replaced it by a VM_BUG_ON (likewise). Reinstate the print_bad_pte() in vm_normal_page(), but use a cheaper test than pfn_valid(): memmap_init_zone() (used in bootup and hotplug) keep a __read_mostly note of the highest_memmap_pfn, vm_normal_page() then check pfn against that. We could call this pfn_plausible() or pfn_sane(), but I doubt we'll need it elsewhere: of course it's not reliable, but gives much stronger pagetable validation on many boxes. Also use print_bad_pte() when the pte_special bit is found outside a VM_PFNMAP or VM_MIXEDMAP area, instead of VM_BUG_ON.

Now that bad pages are kept out of circulation, there is no need for the infamous page_remove_rmap() BUG() - once that page is freed, its negative mapcount will issue a "Bad page state" message and the page won't be freed. Removing the BUG() allows more info, on subsequent pages, to be gathered. We do have more info about the page at this point than bad_page() can know - notably, what the pmd is, which might pinpoint something like low 64kB corruption - but page_remove_rmap() isn't given the address to find that. In practice, there is only one call to page_remove_rmap() which has ever reported anything, that from zap_pte_range() (usually on exit, sometimes on munmap). It has all the info, so remove page_remove_rmap()'s "Eeek" message and leave it all to zap_pte_range(). mm/memory.c already has a hardly used print_bad_pte() function, showing some of the appropriate info: extend it to show what we want for the rmap case: pte info, page info (when there is a page) and vma info to compare. zap_pte_range() already knows the pmd, but print_bad_pte() is easier to use if it works that out for itself. Some of this info is also shown in bad_page()'s "Bad page state" message. Keep them separate, but adjust them to match each other as far as possible. Say "Bad page map" in print_bad_pte(), and add a TAINT_BAD_PAGE there too. print_bad_pte() show current->comm unconditionally (though it should get repeated in the usually irrelevant stack trace): sorry, I misled Nick Piggin to make it conditional on vm_mm == current->mm, but current->mm is already NULL in the exit case. Usually current->comm is good, though exceptionally it may not be that of the mm (when "swapoff" for example).

Until now the bad_page() checkers have special-cased PageReserved, keeping those pages out of circulation thereafter. Now extend the special case to all: we want to keep ANY page with bad state out of circulation - the "free" page may well be in use by something. Leave the bad state of those pages untouched, for examination by debuggers; except for PageBuddy - leaving that set would risk bringing the page back.

If all allowable memory is unreclaimable, it is possible to loop forever in the page allocator for ~__GFP_NORETRY allocations. During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory. The cached copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state(). The cached copy of the set of allowable nodes is now updated in the page allocator's slow path so the additional memory is available to get_page_from_freelist().

As we can determine exactly when a gigantic page is in use we can optimise the common regular page cases by pulling out gigantic page initialisation into its own function. As gigantic pages are never released to buddy we do not need a destructor. This effectivly reverts the previous change to the main buddy allocator. It also adds a paranoid check to ensure we never release gigantic pages from hugetlbfs to the main buddy.

Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from struct page. This patch adds an interface as struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*) All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported. Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE. - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.) On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory. On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory. I think this reduction makes sense. By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed. This means - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre. (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.) - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree. - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented. - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling. I added printk message as "allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup" "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want" maybe enough informative for users.

Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

We avoid evicting and scanning anonymous pages for the most part, but under some workloads we can end up with most of memory filled with anonymous pages. At that point, we suddenly need to clear the referenced bits on all of memory, which can take ages on very large memory systems. We can reduce the maximum number of pages that need to be scanned by not taking the referenced state into account when deactivating an anonymous page. After all, every anonymous page starts out referenced, so why check? If an anonymous page gets referenced again before it reaches the end of the inactive list, we move it back to the active list. To keep the maximum amount of necessary work reasonable, we scale the active to inactive ratio with the size of memory, using the formula active:inactive ratio = sqrt(memory in GB * 10). Kswapd CPU use now seems to scale by the amount of pageout bandwidth, instead of by the amount of memory present in the system.

Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

Define page_file_cache() function to answer the question: is page backed by a file? Originally part of Rik van Riel's split-lru patch. Extracted to make available for other, independent reclaim patches. Moved inline function to linux/mm_inline.h where it will be needed by subsequent "split LRU" and "noreclaim" patches. Unfortunately this needs to use a page flag, since the PG_swapbacked state needs to be preserved all the way to the point where the page is last removed from the LRU. Trying to derive the status from other info in the page resulted in wrong VM statistics in earlier split VM patchsets. The total number of page flags in use on a 32 bit machine after this patch is 19.

When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages, and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which follows, BAD. When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from the start of the page. This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs. Credit to Mel Gorman for spotting the issue.

alloc_pages_exact() is similar to alloc_pages(), except that it allocates the minimum number of pages to fulfill the request. This is useful if you want to allocate a very large buffer that is slightly larger than an even power-of-two number of pages. In that case, alloc_pages() will waste a lot of memory. I have a video driver that wants to allocate a 5MB buffer. alloc_pages() wiill waste 3MB of physically-contiguous memory.

free_area_init_node() gets passed in the node id as well as the node descriptor. This is redundant as the function can trivially get the node descriptor itself by means of NODE_DATA() and the node's id. I checked all the users and NODE_DATA() seems to be usable everywhere from where this function is called.

In __free_one_page(), the comment "Move the buddy up one level" appears attached to the break and by implication when the break is taken we are moving it up one level: if (!page_is_buddy(page, buddy, order)) break; /* Move the buddy up one level. */ In reality the inverse is true, we break out when we can no longer merge this page with its buddy. Looking back into pre-history (into the full git history) it appears that these two lines accidentally got joined as part of another change. Move the comment down where it belongs below the if and clarify its language.

Two zonelist patch series rewrote __page_alloc() largely. Now, it is just a wrapper function. Inlining them will save a function call.

There are a number of different views to how much memory is currently active. There is the arch-independent zone-sizing view, the bootmem allocator and memory models view. Architectures register this information at different times and is not necessarily in sync particularly with respect to some SPARSEMEM limitations. This patch introduces mminit_validate_memmodel_limits() which is able to validate and correct PFN ranges with respect to the memory model. It is only SPARSEMEM that currently validates itself.

Print out information on how the page flags are being used if mminit_loglevel is MMINIT_VERIFY or higher and unconditionally performs sanity checks on the flags regardless of loglevel. When the page flags are updated with section, node and zone information, a check are made to ensure the values can be retrieved correctly. Finally we confirm that pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn are the correct inverse functions.
