      When we've allocated SWAPFILE_CLUSTER pages, ->cluster_next should be the

      [PATCH] drain_node_pages: interrupt latency reduction / optimization · 879336c3
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      1. Only disable interrupts if there is actually something to free
      
      2. Only dirty the pcp cacheline if we actually freed something.
      
      3. Disable interrupts for each single pcp and not for cleaning
        all the pcps in all zones of a node.
      
      drain_node_pages is called every 2 seconds from cache_reap. This
      fix should avoid most disabling of interrupts.

      [PATCH] slab: fix drain_array() so that it works correctly with the shared_array · b18e7e65
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The list_lock also protects the shared array and we call drain_array() with
      the shared array.  Therefore we cannot go as far as I wanted to but have to
      take the lock in a way so that it also protects the array_cache in
      drain_pages.
      
      (Note: maybe we should make the array_cache locking more consistent?  I.e.
      always take the array cache lock for shared arrays and disable interrupts
      for the per cpu arrays?)

      [PATCH] slab: cache_reap(): further reduction in interrupt holdoff · 35386e3b
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      cache_reap takes the l3->list_lock (disabling interrupts) unconditionally
      and then does a few checks and maybe does some cleanup.  This patch makes
      cache_reap() only take the lock if there is work to do and then the lock is
      taken and released for each cleaning action.
      
      The checking of when to do the next reaping is done without any locking and
      becomes racy.  Should not matter since reaping can also be skipped if the
      slab mutex cannot be acquired.
      
      The same is true for the touched processing.  If we get this wrong once in
      awhile then we will mistakenly clean or not clean the shared cache.  This
      will impact performance slightly.
      
      Note that the additional drain_array() function introduced here will fall
      out in a subsequent patch since array cleaning will now be very similar
      from all callers.

      [PATCH] optimize follow_hugetlb_page · d5d4b0aa
      Chen, Kenneth W 提交于
      follow_hugetlb_page() walks a range of user virtual address and then fills
      in list of struct page * into an array that is passed from the argument
      list.  It also gets a reference count via get_page().  For compound page,
      get_page() actually traverse back to head page via page_private() macro and
      then adds a reference count to the head page.  Since we are doing a virt to
      pte look up, kernel already has a struct page pointer into the head page.
      So instead of traverse into the small unit page struct and then follow a
      link back to the head page, optimize that with incrementing the reference
      count directly on the head page.
      
      The benefit is that we don't take a cache miss on accessing page struct for
      the corresponding user address and more importantly, not to pollute the
      cache with a "not very useful" round trip of pointer chasing.  This adds a
      moderate performance gain on an I/O intensive database transaction
      workload.

      [PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanup · 42b88bef
      David Gibson 提交于
      Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
      is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
      verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
      is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
      prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.
      
      Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
      implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range().  On powerpc, which
      implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
      used.
      
      In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
      suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
      whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).
      
      This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range().  Instead
      prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly.  Most archs use the default
      version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
      hugepage.  ia64 and powerpc define custom versions.  The ia64 one simply
      checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
      being suitably aligned.  The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
      for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
      set up new areas for use by hugepages.
      
      No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).

      [PATCH] hugepage: Move hugetlb_free_pgd_range() prototype to hugetlb.h · 3915bcf3

      The optional hugepage callback, hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is presently

      shortly).  It has its own prototype for the function in asm-ia64/pgtable.h.
       However, since the function is called from generic code, it make sense for
      its prototype to be in the generic hugetlb.h header file, as the protypes
      other arch callbacks already are (prepare_hugepage_range(),
      set_huge_pte_at(), etc.).  This patch makes it so.

      [PATCH] hugepage: Fix hugepage logic in free_pgtables() harder · 4866920b
      David Gibson 提交于
      Turns out the hugepage logic in free_pgtables() was doubly broken.  The
      loop coalescing multiple normal page VMAs into one call to free_pgd_range()
      had an off by one error, which could mean it would coalesce one hugepage
      VMA into the same bundle (checking 'vma' not 'next' in the loop).  I
      transferred this bug into the new is_vm_hugetlb_page() based version.
      Here's the fix.
      
      This one didn't bite on powerpc previously for the same reason the
      is_hugepage_only_range() problem didn't: powerpc's hugetlb_free_pgd_range()
      is identical to free_pgd_range().  It didn't bite on ia64 because the
      hugepage region is distant enough from any other region that the separated
      PMD_SIZE distance test would always prevent coalescing the two together.
      
      No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions (ppc64, POWER5).

      [PATCH] hugepage: Fix hugepage logic in free_pgtables() · 9da61aef
      David Gibson 提交于
      free_pgtables() has special logic to call hugetlb_free_pgd_range() instead
      of the normal free_pgd_range() on hugepage VMAs.  However, the test it uses
      to do so is incorrect: it calls is_hugepage_only_range on a hugepage sized
      range at the start of the vma.  is_hugepage_only_range() will return true
      if the given range has any intersection with a hugepage address region, and
      in this case the given region need not be hugepage aligned.  So, for
      example, this test can return true if called on, say, a 4k VMA immediately
      preceding a (nicely aligned) hugepage VMA.
      
      At present we get away with this because the powerpc version of
      hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is just a call to free_pgd_range().  On ia64 (the
      only other arch with a non-trivial is_hugepage_only_range()) we get away
      with it for a different reason; the hugepage area is not contiguous with
      the rest of the user address space, and VMAs are not permitted in between,
      so the test can't return a false positive there.
      
      Nonetheless this should be fixed.  We do that in the patch below by
      replacing the is_hugepage_only_range() test with an explicit test of the
      VMA using is_vm_hugetlb_page().
      
      This in turn changes behaviour for platforms where is_hugepage_only_range()
      returns false always (everything except powerpc and ia64).  We address this
      by ensuring that hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is defined to be identical to
      free_pgd_range() (instead of a no-op) on everything except ia64.  Even so,
      it will prevent some otherwise possible coalescing of calls down to
      free_pgd_range().  Since this only happens for hugepage VMAs, removing this
      small optimization seems unlikely to cause any trouble.
      
      This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetlbfs testsuite - ppc64
      POWER5 (8-way), ppc64 G5 (2-way) and i386 Pentium M (UP).

      [PATCH] hugepage: Strict page reservation for hugepage inodes · b45b5bd6
      David Gibson 提交于
      These days, hugepages are demand-allocated at first fault time.  There's a
      somewhat dubious (and racy) heuristic when making a new mmap() to check if
      there are enough available hugepages to fully satisfy that mapping.
      
      A particularly obvious case where the heuristic breaks down is where a
      process maps its hugepages not as a single chunk, but as a bunch of
      individually mmap()ed (or shmat()ed) blocks without touching and
      instantiating the pages in between allocations.  In this case the size of
      each block is compared against the total number of available hugepages.
      It's thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block
      mapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by
      all blocks exceeds the number available.  In particular, this defeats such
      a program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage
      downward accordingly.
      
      The patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of
      physical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not
      instatiated.  MAP_SHARED mappings are thus "safe" - they will fail on
      mmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL.  MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still
      trigger an OOM.  (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but
      only if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping
      and instantiation)
      
      This patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start
      correctly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described
      above.
      
      This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a
      test (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64,
      POWER5).

      [PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation · 3935baa9
      David Gibson 提交于
      Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and
      inserting it into the pagetables / page cache.  When we do go to insert the
      page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly
      allocated hugepage.  However, since the number of hugepages in the system
      is strictly limited, and it's usualy to want to use all of them, this can
      still lead to spurious allocation failures.
      
      For example, suppose two processes are both mapping (MAP_SHARED) the same
      hugepage file, large enough to consume the entire available hugepage pool.
      If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both
      attempt to allocate the last available hugepage.  One will fail, of course,
      returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed,
      despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated.
      
      The patch fixes this race by the simple method of adding a (sleeping) mutex
      to serialize the hugepage fault path between allocation and insertion into
      pagetables and/or page cache.  It would be possible to avoid the
      serialization by catching the allocation failures, waiting on some
      condition, then rechecking to see if someone else has instantiated the page
      for us.  Given the likely frequency of hugepage instantiations, it seems
      very doubtful it's worth the extra complexity.
      
      This patch causes no regression on the libhugetlbfs testsuite, and one
      test, which can trigger this race now passes where it previously failed.
      
      Actually, the test still sometimes fails, though less often and only as a
      shmat() failure, rather processes getting OOM killed by the VM.  The dodgy
      heuristic tests in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c for whether there's enough hugepage
      space aren't protected by the new mutex, and would be ugly to do so, so
      there's still a race there.  Another patch to replace those tests with
      something saner for this reason as well as others coming...

      [PATCH] hugepage: Small fixes to hugepage clear/copy path · 79ac6ba4
      David Gibson 提交于
      Move the loops used in mm/hugetlb.c to clear and copy hugepages to their
      own functions for clarity.  As we do so, we add some checks of need_resched
      - we are, after all copying megabytes of memory here.  We also add
      might_sleep() accordingly.  We generally dropped locks around the clear and
      copy, already but not everyone has PREEMPT enabled, so we should still be
      checking explicitly.
      
      For this to work, we need to remove the clear_huge_page() from
      alloc_huge_page(), which is called with the page_table_lock held in the COW
      path.  We move the clear_huge_page() to just after the alloc_huge_page() in
      the hugepage no-page path.  In the COW path, the new page is about to be
      copied over, so clearing it was just a waste of time anyway.  So as a side
      effect we also fix the fact that we held the page_table_lock for far too
      long in this path by calling alloc_huge_page() under it.
      
      It causes no regressions on the libhugetlbfs testsuite (ppc64, POWER5).

      [PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages · 8f860591
      Zhang, Yanmin 提交于
      2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb
      mprotect.
      
      From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
      
        Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed
        range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of
        is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/).
      
        In fact, we don't need this test.  If the given addresses match the
        beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned.  If
        they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA.  The very
        first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a
        hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary.
      
      From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
      
        On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE.  The
        identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect.
        A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc().
      
        The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up
        legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

      [PATCH] readahead: fix initial window size calculation · aed75ff3
      Steven Pratt 提交于
      The current current get_init_ra_size is not optimal across different IO
      sizes and max_readahead values.  Here is a quick summary of sizes computed
      under current design and under the attached patch.  All of these assume 1st
      IO at offset 0, or 1st detected sequential IO.

      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      As suggested by Marcelo:
      
      1. The optimization introduced recently for not calling
         page_referenced() during zone reclaim makes two additional checks in
         shrink_list unnecessary.
      
      2. The if (unlikely(sc->may_swap)) in refill_inactive_zone is optimized
         for the zone_reclaim case.  However, most peoples system only does swap.

      sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory
      allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace.  This is done so
      the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not
      free the page.
      
      Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead.  This
      fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a

         it are also setting VM_IO, which itself forbids the merge).
      
      2. It's hard to understand the purpose of the VM_HUGETLB, VM_DONTCOPY
         block in vm_stat_account: but never mind, it's under CONFIG_HUGETLB,
