Impact: cosmetic, preparation for future changes Make the following renames in pcpur_setup_first_chunk() in preparation for future changes. * s/free_size/dyn_size/ * s/static_vm/first_vm/ * s/static_chunk/schunk/ Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Impact: remove compile warning Mark local variable map_end in pcpu_populate_chunk() with uninitialized_var(). The variable is always used in tandem with map_start and guaranteed to be initialized before use but gcc doesn't understand that.

Most global variables in percpu allocator are initialized during boot and read only from that point on. Add __read_mostly as per Rusty's suggestion. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation. Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path - pcpu_setup_static(). It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk for example to take advantage of large page mapping. This patch makes the following changes to allow this. * Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation. * Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk(). * Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and @base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk initialization to their likings.

Impact: allow unit_size to be arbitrary multiple of PAGE_SIZE In dynamic percpu allocator, there is no reason the unit size should be power of two. Remove the restriction. As non-power-of-two unit size means that empty chunks fall into the same slot index as lightly occupied chunks which is bad for reclaming. Reserve an extra slot for empty chunks.

Impact: allow larger alignment for early vmalloc area allocation Some early vmalloc users might want larger alignment, for example, for custom large page mapping. Add @align to vm_area_register_early(). While at it, drop docbook comment on non-existent @size.

Impact: fix short allocation leading to memory corruption While dropping rvalue wrapping macros around global parameters, pcpu_chunk_struct_size was set incorrectly resulting in shorter page pointer array. Fix it. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Andrew was concerned about the unit of variables named or have suffix size. Every usage in percpu allocator is in bytes but make it super clear by adding comments. While at it, make pcpu_depopulate_chunk() take int @off and @size like everyone else. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

Impact: new scalable dynamic percpu allocator which allows dynamic percpu areas to be accessed the same way as static ones Implement scalable dynamic percpu allocator which can be used for both static and dynamic percpu areas. This will allow static and dynamic areas to share faster direct access methods. This feature is optional and enabled only when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is defined by arch. Please read comment on top of mm/percpu.c for details. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
