This mapping will borrow\nfunctionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel\ninternal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The\nMAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without\nboth flags being preset.\n\nA new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge\npages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn\u0027t be\nMAP_ANONYMOUS.\n\nTo userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping\nbecause the file is not accessible outside of the kernel.\n\nThis patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there\nis a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required\nto create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow\nuse of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs\nmounted.\n\nUnification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has\nbeen resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it\nwould break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table\nabstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on\narchitectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path\npenalties without providing any benefit on these architectures.\n\nThis patch:\n\nThere are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages:\n\n 1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs\n 2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially\n maps it MAP_SHARED\n\nThe internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very\nlittle that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends\nhugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be\nmapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is\nused in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric Munson \u003cebmunson@us.ibm.com\u003e\nAcked-by: David Rientjes \u003crientjes@google.com\u003e\nCc: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Adam Litke \u003cagl@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: David Gibson \u003cdavid@gibson.dropbear.id.au\u003e\nCc: Lee Schermerhorn \u003clee.schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnickpiggin@yahoo.com.au\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d993831fa7ffeb89e994f046f93eeb09ec91df08", "tree": "da4f94bbf022c83988bda71adf1f1b3a88cb4592", "parents": [ "f09b00d3e789a88fa6c7c03cedc62cb65c1de0cb" ], "author": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Fri Jun 12 14:45:52 2009 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Fri Sep 11 09:20:26 2009 +0200" }, "message": "writeback: add name to backing_dev_info\n\nThis enables us to track who does what and print info.

If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple\n references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or\n the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs\n mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW\u0027d is unmapped\n where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in\n the normal way.\n\n2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages\n with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will\n terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted.\n A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured.\n\n2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW\n from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if\n overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If\n it fails, the child will be killed.\n\nIf the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that\nthe reserves were a factor. Existing applications depending on the\nno-reserves been set are unlikely to exist as for much of the history of\nhugetlbfs, pages were prefaulted at mmap(), allocating the pages at that\npoint or failing the mmap().\n\n[npiggin@suse.de: fix CONFIG_HUGETLB\u003dn build]\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nAcked-by: Adam Litke \u003cagl@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Andy Whitcroft \u003capw@shadowen.org\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "a1e78772d72b2616ed20e54896e68e0e7044854e", "tree": "d752dd96c2a4fcc555779a7aa99f95069c9b95ae", "parents": [ "fc1b8a73dd71226902a11928dd5500326e101df9" ], "author": { "name": "Mel Gorman", "email": "mel@csn.ul.ie", "time": "Wed Jul 23 21:27:23 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Jul 24 10:47:16 2008 -0700" }, "message": "hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings until fork()\n\nThis patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in\na similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings.

For MPOL_DEFAULT, the\nreturned pointer is NULL. Further, mpol_parse_str() now takes a \u0027no_context\u0027\nargument that causes the input nodemask to be stored in the w.user_nodemask of\nthe created mempolicy for use when the mempolicy is installed in a tmpfs inode\nshared policy tree. At that time, any cpuset contextualization is applied to\nthe original input nodemask. This preserves the previous behavior where the\ninput nodemask was stored in the superblock. We can think of the returned\nmempolicy as \"context free\".\n\nBecause mpol_parse_str() is now calling mpol_new(), we can remove from\nmpol_to_str() the semantic checks that mpol_new() already performs.\n\nAdd \u0027no_context\u0027 parameter to mpol_to_str() to specify that it should format\nthe nodemask in w.user_nodemask for \u0027bind\u0027 and \u0027interleave\u0027 policies.\n\nChange mpol_shared_policy_init() to take a pointer to a \"context free\" struct\nmempolicy and to create a new, \"contextualized\" mempolicy using the mode,\nmode_flags and user_nodemask from the input mempolicy.\n\n Note: we know that the mempolicy passed to mpol_to_str() or\n mpol_shared_policy_init() from a tmpfs superblock is \"context free\". This\n is currently the only instance thereof. However, if we found more uses for\n this concept, and introduced any ambiguity as to whether a mempolicy was\n context free or not, we could add another internal mode flag to identify\n context free mempolicies. Then, we could remove the \u0027no_context\u0027 argument\n from mpol_to_str().\n\nAdded shmem_get_sbmpol() to return a reference counted superblock mempolicy,\nif one exists, to pass to mpol_shared_policy_init().

The callback is\nperformed before each freeing of an object.\n\nI would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually\nbefore the free.

In this case the size of\neach block is compared against the total number of available hugepages.\nIt\u0027s thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block\nmapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by\nall blocks exceeds the number available. In particular, this defeats such\na program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage\ndownward accordingly.\n\nThe patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of\nphysical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not\ninstatiated. MAP_SHARED mappings are thus \"safe\" - they will fail on\nmmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL. MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still\ntrigger an OOM. (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but\nonly if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping\nand instantiation)\n\nThis patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start\ncorrectly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described\nabove.\n\nThis patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a\ntest (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64,\nPOWER5).\n\nSigned-off-by: David Gibson \u003cdwg@au1.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "4e6a510a74145585f4111d60d1b5fd450d795dd8", "tree": "ff1cb5ba871d6c3f1b90276b865853e20cddefff", "parents": [ "9884fd8df195fe48d4e1be2279b419be96127cae" ], "author": { "name": "Hugh Dickins", "email": "hugh@veritas.com", "time": "Wed Feb 01 03:05:31 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Feb 01 08:53:15 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] mm: hugepage accounting fix\n\n2.6.15\u0027s hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into\nhugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on\nhow far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file.

Before the change new areas were always\n searched from the base address on.\n\n So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes\n throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes\n tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base\n large and available for larger requests.\n\n 2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last\n munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of\n 1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K\n will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we\n appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location\n of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only\n get two free regions of 1K -\u003e fragmentation.\n\nThe patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor\ncached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the\ncurrent free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared\nagainst the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole\nbelow free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.\n\nThe results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my\n(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations\nwith 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely\n(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo\u0027s test_str02 with 20000 threads\nrequires 0.7s system time.\n\nTaking out Ingo\u0027s patch (un-patch available per request) by basically\ndeleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the\nsearch for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme\nterminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in\n/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system\ntime for Ingo\u0027s test_str02 with 20000 threads.\n\nNow - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with\nonly 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems\nsufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.\n\nSigned-off-by: Wolfgang Wander \u003cwwc@rentec.com\u003e\nCredit-to: \"Richard Purdie\" \u003crpurdie@rpsys.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ken Chen \u003ckenneth.w.chen@intel.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e (partly)\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "tree": "0bba044c4ce775e45a88a51686b5d9f90697ea9d", "parents": [], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Apr 16 15:20:36 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Sat Apr 16 15:20:36 2005 -0700" }, "message": "Linux-2.6.12-rc2\n\nInitial git repository build.
