And a parameter to drain_array to control the freeing of all objects and then use drain_array() to replace instances of drain_array_locked with drain_array.

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.

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.

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.

The optional hugepage callback, hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is presently implemented non-trivially only on ia64 (but I plan to add one for powerpc 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.

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.

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).

Originally, mm/hugetlb.c just handled the hugepage physical allocation path and its {alloc,free}_huge_page() functions were used from the arch specific hugepage code. These days those functions are only used with mm/hugetlb.c itself. Therefore, this patch makes them static and removes their prototypes from hugetlb.h. This requires a small rearrangement of code in mm/hugetlb.c to avoid a forward declaration. This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetlbfs testsuite (ppc64, POWER5).

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).

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...

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).

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.

Change all the vmscan functions to retunr the number-of-reclaimed pages and remove scan_conrtol.nr_reclaimed. Saves ten-odd bytes of text and makes things clearer and more consistent. The patch also changes the behaviour of zone_reclaim() when it falls back to slab shrinking. Christoph says "Setting this to one means that we will rescan and shrink the slab for each allocation if we are out of zone memory and RECLAIM_SLAB is set. Plus if we do an order 0 allocation we do not go off node as intended. "We better set this to zero. This means the allocation will go offnode despite us having potentially freed lots of memory on the zone. Future allocations can then again be done from this zone."

Turn basically everything in vmscan.c into `unsigned long'. This is to avoid the possibility that some piece of code in there might decide to operate upon more than 4G (or even 2G) of pages in one hit. This might be silly, but we'll need it one day.

Initialise as much of scan_control as possible at the declaration site. This tidies things up a bit and assures us that all unmentioned fields are zeroed out.

Make nr_to_scan and priority a parameter instead of putting it into scan control. This allows various small optimizations and IMHO makes the code easier to read.
