      [PATCH] memory page alloc minor cleanups · 0798e519
      由 Paul Jackson 提交于 
      - s/freeliest/freelist/ spelling fix

- Check for NULL *z zone seems useless - even if it could happen, so
  what?  Perhaps we should have a check later on if we are faced with an
  allocation request that is not allowed to fail - shouldn't that be a
  serious kernel error, passing an empty zonelist with a mandate to not
  fail?

- Initializing 'z' to zonelist->zones can wait until after the first
  get_page_from_freelist() fails; we only use 'z' in the wakeup_kswapd()
  loop, so let's initialize 'z' there, in a 'for' loop.  Seems clearer.

- Remove superfluous braces around a break

- Fix a couple errant spaces

- Adjust indentation on the cpuset_zone_allowed() check, to match the
  lines just before it -- seems easier to read in this case.

- Add another set of braces to the zone_watermark_ok logic

From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>

  Backout one item from a previous "memory page_alloc minor cleanups" patch.
   Until and unless we are certain that no one can ever pass an empty zonelist
  to __alloc_pages(), this check for an empty zonelist (or some BUG
  equivalent) is essential.  The code in get_page_from_freelist() blow ups if
  passed an empty zonelist.

      [PATCH] x86_64: fix bad page state in process 'swapper' · 1abbfb41
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      find_min_pfn_for_node() and find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() both
depend on a sorted early_node_map[].  However, sort_node_map() is being
called after fin_min_pfn_with_active_regions() in
free_area_init_nodes().

In most cases, this is ok, but on at least one x86_64, the SRAT table
caused the E820 ranges to be registered out of order.  This gave the
wrong values for the min PFN range resulting in some pages not being
initialised.

This patch sorts the early_node_map in find_min_pfn_for_node().  It has
been boot tested on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ia64.

      [PATCH] Calculation fix for memory holes beyong the end of physical memory · 0c6cb974
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the
arch-independent zone-sizing API would not care about holes beyound the end
of physical memory.  This was not the case and was "fixed" in a patch
called "Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memory".
However, when given a range that started before a hole in "real" memory and
ended beyond the end of memory, it would get the result wrong.  The bug is
in mainline but a patch is below.

It has been tested successfully on a number of machines and architectures.
Additional credit to Keith Mannthey for discovering the problem, helping
identify the correct fix and confirming it Worked For Him.

      [PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority race · 3bb1a852
      由 Martin Bligh 提交于 
      The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
(say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.

The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
it is fixed slightly differently.  In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
priority record per zone in a local array.  In try_to_free_pages there is
no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
reclaim from.

Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
artificially low.  They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

__zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority.  But zone->prev_priority
is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
list.  Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
stuck on the active list.

Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
__zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.

This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created.  It should be
possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

      [PATCH] highest_possible_node_id() linkage fix · 6220ec78
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Qooting Adrian:

- net/sunrpc/svc.c uses highest_possible_node_id()

- include/linux/nodemask.h says highest_possible_node_id() is
  out-of-line #if MAX_NUMNODES > 1

- the out-of-line highest_possible_node_id() is in lib/cpumask.c

- lib/Makefile: lib-$(CONFIG_SMP) += cpumask.o
  CONFIG_ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE=y, CONFIG_SMP=n, CONFIG_SUNRPC=y

-> highest_possible_node_id() is used in net/sunrpc/svc.c
   CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT defined and > 0

-> include/linux/numa.h: MAX_NUMNODES > 1

-> compile error

The bug is not present on architectures where ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
depends on NUMA (but m32r isn't the only affected architecture).

So move the function into page_alloc.c

      [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions · 3fcfab16
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

      [PATCH] Condense output of show_free_areas() · c7241913
      由 Jes Sorensen 提交于 
      On larger systems, the amount of output dumped on the console when you do
SysRq-M is beyond insane.  This patch is trying to reduce it somewhat as
even with the smaller NUMA systems that have hit the desktop this seems to
be a fair thing to do.

The philosophy I have taken is as follows:
 1) If a zone is empty, don't tell, we don't need yet another line
    telling us so. The information is available since one can look up
    the fact how many zones were initialized in the first place.
 2) Put as much information on a line is possible, if it can be done
    in one line, rahter than two, then do it in one. I tried to format
    the temperature stuff for easy reading.

Change show_free_areas() to not print lines for empty zones.  If no zone
output is printed, the zone is empty.  This reduces the number of lines
dumped to the console in sysrq on a large system by several thousand lines.

Change the zone temperature printouts to use one line per CPU instead of
two lines (one hot, one cold).  On a 1024 CPU, 1024 node system, this
reduces the console output by over a million lines of output.

While this is a bigger problem on large NUMA systems, it is also applicable
to smaller desktop sized and mid range NUMA systems.

      [PATCH] Allow an arch to expand node boundaries · fb01439c
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node
(pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was
registered by the architecture.  However, when
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the
spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that
is used lated on memory hot-add.

This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE
to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to
at *least* the requested boundary.

      [PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory · c713216d
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active
ranges of page frames are located.  Once located, the code to calculate zone
sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar.  Some of this zone and
hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason.  This set of patches
eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code.

The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the
active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range().  When all areas have
been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and
zones.  The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture
independent manner.

Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges
Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable.
	It adjusts the watermarks slightly

Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig,
gensparse_defconfig and defconfig.  Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on
IA64.  Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based
machine.  These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these
patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3.

There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code
for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes
but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present.

The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of
architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy.  There should be a
greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone
and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

This patch:

Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node
in an architecture independent manner.  Architectures are expected to register
active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call
free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.
