Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early\n2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even\ndealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly\nbecause we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.\n\nBut this has always caused problems since then because\ndevice drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days\nthe VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven\nit can deal with many zones successfully.\n\nSo this patch adds both zones.\n\nThis helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because\ntheir hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary\nand free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).\nPreviously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which\nwas not enough memory.\n\nAnother common problem is that hardware who has full memory\naddressing for \u003e4GB misses it for some control structures in memory\n(like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory\nin the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,\nbut that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory\n(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have\nmany devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put\nthis stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.\n\nOne argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main\nmotivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware\nraid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter\ncompany) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But\nthat one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn\u0027t really\nneed GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because\nit seems to be the most common restriction.\n\nThe new zone is so far added only for x86-64.\n\nFor other architectures who don\u0027t set up this\nnew zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility\ndefine in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32\nas GFP_DMA. Otherwise it\u0027s a nop because on 32bit architectures\nit\u0027s normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (\u003d0) is DMA able\nenough.\n\nOne problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different\narchitectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA\n(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like\nthe swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite\nugly and is now obsolete.\n\nThese should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven\u0027t done\nthis yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent\nwhich will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "50c85a19e7b3928b5b5188524c44ffcbacdd4e35", "tree": "a886792eba2e11615c3846bc6b1c77c41ce6dda0", "parents": [ "065d41cb269e9debb18c6d5052e4de1088ae3d8f" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@engr.sgi.com", "time": "Sun Nov 13 16:06:47 2005 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sun Nov 13 18:14:12 2005 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] slab: remove alloc_pages() calls\n\nThe slab allocator never uses alloc_pages since kmem_getpages() is always\ncalled with a valid nodeid.

It does so within the context of the task,\nwithout any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation.\n\nIf a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the\nroot (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a\ntask is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed\ndoes the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below,\nrebind_policy() is not even called.\n\nWhen mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the\nessential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set\nof CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to\nmanage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the\nessential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs\nmemory placement within its allowed cpuset.\n\nHowever, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the\nkernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering.\n\nThis is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what\u0027s the\nsame, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes.\n\nThen the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job\nneed to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can\nbe done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one\ntask can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an\nexternal task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in\nthe context of the task using it.\n\nHowever, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when\na task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a\nrefresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that\nis needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs\nto rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the\ntasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing\ncpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The\nbitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative\ncalculations.\n\nThis patch leaves open a couple of issues:\n\n 1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies:\n\n These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to\n the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs,\n which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such\n a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within\n that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes\n outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will\n provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that\n patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies\n across a job migration.\n\n 2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space:\n\n This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using\n system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More\n work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means\n to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current\n API\u0027s that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across\n the kernel-user boundary.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul Jackson \u003cpj@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "28a42b9ea7e42e1efb02cc2dcacba0b6af234e1b", "tree": "1415acfeec32553888f870eb5c0debc370e1d3b7", "parents": [ "18a19cb3047e454ee5ecbc35d7acf3f8e09e0466" ], "author": { "name": "Paul Jackson", "email": "pj@sgi.com", "time": "Sun Oct 30 15:02:32 2005 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sun Oct 30 17:37:21 2005 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] cpusets: confine pdflush to its cpuset\n\nThis patch keeps pdflush daemons on the same cpuset as their parent, the\nkthread daemon.\n\nSome large NUMA configurations put as much as they can of kernel threads\nand other classic Unix load in what\u0027s called a bootcpuset, keeping the rest\nof the system free for dedicated jobs.\n\nThis effort is thwarted by pdflush, which dynamically destroys and\nrecreates pdflush daemons depending on load.\n\nIt\u0027s easy enough to force the originally created pdflush deamons into the\nbootcpuset, at system boottime.
