They have no\nessential function for the VM.\n\nWe use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most\nsevere races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between\nan increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics\ncounter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one\nincrement or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that\nthe vm event counters have to be accurate.\n\nIn the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each\ncounter.

The\nprocessor however has not much to do with the zone these pages belong to. We\ncannot tell f.e. how many ZONE_DMA pages are dirty.\n\nSo we are blind to potentially inbalances in the usage of memory in various\nzones. F.e. in a NUMA system we cannot tell how many pages are dirty on a\nparticular node. If we knew then we could put measures into the VM to balance\nthe use of memory between different zones and different nodes in a NUMA\nsystem. For example it would be possible to limit the dirty pages per node so\nthat fast local memory is kept available even if a process is dirtying huge\namounts of pages.\n\nAnother example is zone reclaim. We do not know how many unmapped pages exist\nper zone. So we just have to try to reclaim. If it is not working then we\npause and try again later. It would be better if we knew when it makes sense\nto reclaim unmapped pages from a zone. This patchset allows the determination\nof the number of unmapped pages per zone. We can remove the zone reclaim\ninterval with the counters introduced here.\n\nFuthermore the ability to have various usage statistics available will allow\nthe development of new NUMA balancing algorithms that may be able to improve\nthe decision making in the scheduler of when to move a process to another node\nand hopefully will also enable automatic page migration through a user space\nprogram that can analyse the memory load distribution and then rebalance\nmemory use in order to increase performance.\n\nThe counter framework here implements differential counters for each processor\nin struct zone. The differential counters are consolidated when a threshold\nis exceeded (like done in the current implementation for nr_pageache), when\nslab reaping occurs or when a consolidation function is called.\n\nConsolidation uses atomic operations and accumulates counters per zone in the\nzone structure and also globally in the vm_stat array. VM functions can\naccess the counts by simply indexing a global or zone specific array.\n\nThe arrangement of counters in an array also simplifies processing when output\nhas to be generated for /proc/*.\n\nCounters can be updated by calling inc/dec_zone_page_state or\n_inc/dec_zone_page_state analogous to *_page_state. The second group of\nfunctions can be called if it is known that interrupts are disabled.\n\nSpecial optimized increment and decrement functions are provided. These can\navoid certain checks and use increment or decrement instructions that an\narchitecture may provide.\n\nWe also add a new CONFIG_DMA_IS_NORMAL that signifies that an architecture can\ndo DMA to all memory and therefore ZONE_NORMAL will not be populated. This is\nonly currently set for IA64 SGI SN2 and currently only affects\nnode_page_state(). In the best case node_page_state can be reduced to\nretrieving a single counter for the one zone on the node.\n\n[akpm@osdl.org: cleanups]\n[akpm@osdl.org: export vm_stat[] for filesystems]\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Trond Myklebust \u003ctrond.myklebust@fys.uio.no\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "f6ac2354d791195ca40822b84d73d48a4e8b7f2b", "tree": "5f600175cf3591eac3d32bb8cebfd45d0aabf804", "parents": [ "672b2714ae57af16fe7d760dc4e0918a7a6cb0fa" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Fri Jun 30 01:55:32 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Jun 30 11:25:34 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] zoned vm counters: create vmstat.c/.h from page_alloc.c/.h\n\nNOTE: ZVC are *not* the lightweight event counters.

The access to the total number of pages of various types does\nno longer require the summing up of all per cpu counters.\n\nBenefits of this patchset right now:\n\n- Ability for UP and SMP configuration to determine how memory\n is balanced between the DMA, NORMAL and HIGHMEM zones.\n\n- loops over all processors are avoided in writeback and\n reclaim paths. We can avoid caching the writeback information\n because the needed information is directly accessible.\n\n- Special handling for nr_pagecache removed.\n\n- zone_reclaim_interval vanishes since VM stats can now determine\n when it is worth to do local reclaim.\n\n- Fast inline per node page state determination.\n\n- Accurate counters in /sys/devices/system/node/node*/meminfo. Current\n counters are counting simply which processor allocated a page somewhere\n and guestimate based on that. So the counters were not useful to show\n the actual distribution of page use on a specific zone.\n\n- The swap_prefetch patch requires per node statistics in order to\n figure out when processors of a node can prefetch. This patch provides\n some of the needed numbers.\n\n- Detailed VM counters available in more /proc and /sys status files.\n\nReferences to earlier discussions:\nV1 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d113511649910826\u0026w\u003d2\nV2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d114980851924230\u0026w\u003d2\nV3 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d115014697910351\u0026w\u003d2\nV4 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d115024767318740\u0026w\u003d2\n\nPerformance tests with AIM7 did not show any regressions.

It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user\nso the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out\nbytes on failure.\n\nThe first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places\nwhich assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are\nvery similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more\npage-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption.\n\nThe second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail.\nOnce these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures\nwhere this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find).\n\nThis patch:\n\nThere is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the\nbuffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error\nmay be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they\nshouldn\u0027t be.\n\nIn the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data\n(zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes.\n\nMost cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in\n__copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the\ntail, the former doesn\u0027t need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec\nimplementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that\ncopy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail.\n\nThis patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will\nbe safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail.\n\nThis patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h.\n\nAfter this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when\nkmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* \"fixed\".\nThis includes\n - powerpc\n - i386\n - mips\n - sparc\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nCc: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Anton Altaparmakov \u003caia21@cantab.net\u003e\nCc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt \u003cbenh@kernel.crashing.org\u003e\nCc: Paul Mackerras \u003cpaulus@samba.org\u003e\nCc: Ralf Baechle \u003cralf@linux-mips.org\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": "43b0bc00fdbf2f1503a57f0c2c1338438c5d2805", "tree": "1009ac1c764b21c50f96e2a108a2736504d9588a", "parents": [ "dc851a0fd2736e8dc3e90bd990cb911a0013da67" ], "author": { "name": "Chris Wright", "email": "chrisw@sous-sol.org", "time": "Sun Jun 25 05:47:55 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sun Jun 25 10:01:08 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] cpuset: remove extra cpuset_zone_allowed check in __alloc_pages\n\nThis is redundant with check in wakeup_kswapd.\n\nSigned-off-by: Chris Wright \u003cchrisw@sous-sol.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Paul Jackson \u003cpj@sgi.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d616e09ab33aa4d013a93c9b393efd5cebf78521", "tree": "13837ef8dc9e955c621d798235c064218b56361d", "parents": [ "bc64863814b14a4f75884746e68d3bf9f96b3559" ], "author": { "name": "Andrew Morton", "email": "akpm@osdl.org", "time": "Sun Jun 25 05:47:46 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Sun Jun 25 10:01:06 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] pdflush: handle resume wakeups\n\npdflush is carefully designed to ensure that all wakeups have some\ncorresponding work to do - if a woken-up pdflush thread discovers that it\nhasn\u0027t been given any work to do then this is considered an error.\n\nThat all broke when swsusp came along - because a timer-delivered wakeup to a\nfrozen pdflush thread will just get lost.

(If the process were later to fault on this\n orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)\n\n This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we\u0027d rather\n not. There\u0027s no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add\n adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is\n enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the\n tail instead of the head.\n\n (There\u0027s no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,\n because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is\n allowed for. And there\u0027s no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,\n because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless\n method has no refcounting of its entries.)\n\nFrom: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n\n pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.\n\nFrom: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\n\n Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec\n a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being\n properly write-protected on fork.\n\n The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you\n realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean \"write\",\n and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.\n\n Anyway, it\u0027s better done like in change_pte_range, using\n is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.\n\nFrom: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\n\n Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon\u0027s range check on swap type,\n which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made\n MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Martin Schwidefsky \u003cschwidefsky@de.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@engr.sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nFrom: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "8351a6e4785218a2b03c142be92926baff95ba5c", "tree": "479fe6bcecb38ddc2c34ec812d82e432a79d0dfa", "parents": [ "2d1db3b1170db4e8bf0531dd636742269c2cf579" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Fri Jun 23 02:03:33 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Jun 23 07:42:50 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] page migration cleanup: move fallback handling into special function\n\nMove the fallback code into a new fallback function and make the function\nbehave like any other migration function.
