I\nprepared this patch for 2.6.29, but the merge window arrived before I\u0027d\ncompleted gathering statistics to justify sending it in.\n\nThen while comparing SLQB against SLUB, running SLUB on a laptop I\u0027d\nhabitually used with SLAB, I found SLUB to run my tmpfs kbuild swapping\ntests five times slower than SLAB or SLQB - other machines slower too, but\nnowhere near so bad. Simpler \"cp -a\" swapping tests showed the same.\n\nslub_max_order\u003d0 brings sanity to all, but heavy swapping is too far from\nnormal to justify such a tuning. The crucial factor on that laptop turns\nout to be that I\u0027m using an SD card for swap. What happens is this:\n\nBy default, SLUB uses order-2 pages for shmem_inode_cache (and many other\nfs inodes), so creating tmpfs files under memory pressure brings lumpy\nreclaim into play. One subpage of the order is chosen from the bottom of\nthe LRU as usual, then the other three picked out from their random\npositions on the LRUs.\n\nIn a tmpfs load, many of these pages will be ones which already passed\nthrough shmem_writepage, so already have swap allocated. And though their\noffsets on swap were probably allocated sequentially, now that the pages\nare picked off at random, their swap offsets are scattered.\n\nBut the flash storage on the SD card is very sensitive to having its\nwrites merged: once swap is written at scattered offsets, performance\nfalls apart. Rotating disk seeks increase too, but less disastrously.\n\nSo: stop giving shmem/tmpfs pages a second pass around the LRU, write them\nout to swap as soon as their swap has been allocated.\n\nIt\u0027s surely possible to devise an artificial load which runs faster the\nold way, one whose sizing is such that the tmpfs pages on their second\npass are the ones that are wanted again, and other pages not.\n\nBut I\u0027ve not yet found such a load: on all machines, under the loads I\u0027ve\ntried, immediate swap_writepage speeds up shmem swapping: especially when\nusing the SLUB allocator (and more effectively than slub_max_order\u003d0), but\nalso with the others; and it also reduces the variance between runs. How\nmuch faster varies widely: a factor of five is rare, 5% is common.\n\nOne load which might have suffered: imagine a swapping shmem load in a\nlimited mem_cgroup on a machine with plenty of memory. Before 2.6.29 the\nswapcache was not charged, and such a load would have run quickest with\nthe shmem swapcache never written to swap. But now swapcache is charged,\nso even this load benefits from shmem_writepage directly to swap.\n\nApologies for the #ifndef CONFIG_SWAP swap_writepage() stub in swap.h:\nit\u0027s silly because that will never get called; but refactoring shmem.c\nsensibly according to CONFIG_SWAP will be a separate task.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Pekka Enberg \u003cpenberg@cs.helsinki.fi\u003e\nAcked-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "703a3cd72817e99201cef84a8a7aecc60b2b3581", "tree": "3e943755178ff410694722bb031f523136fbc432", "parents": [ "df7f54c012b92ec93d56b68547351dcdf8a163d3", "8e0ee43bc2c3e19db56a4adaa9a9b04ce885cd84" ], "author": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Tue Mar 24 10:52:46 2009 +1100" }, "committer": { "name": "James Morris", "email": "jmorris@namei.org", "time": "Tue Mar 24 10:52:46 2009 +1100" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027master\u0027 into next\n" }, { "commit": "0b0a0806b0d8635e046bf533225a25903b1cddce", "tree": "245ac39eb1b7c6008a669ab2d68ed174d66bd7bc", "parents": [ "c15d8a6499d04e5d2cac07f8120f207bb275f60f" ], "author": { "name": "Hugh Dickins", "email": "hugh@veritas.com", "time": "Tue Feb 24 20:51:52 2009 +0000" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Feb 25 12:21:42 2009 -0800" }, "message": "shmem: fix shared anonymous accounting\n\nEach time I exit Firefox, /proc/meminfo\u0027s Committed_AS goes down almost\n400 kB: OVERCOMMIT_NEVER would be allowing overcommits it should\nprohibit.\n\nCommit fc8744adc870a8d4366908221508bb113d8b72ee \"Stop playing silly\ngames with the VM_ACCOUNT flag\" changed shmem_file_setup() to set the\nshmem file\u0027s VM_ACCOUNT flag according to VM_NORESERVE not being set in\nthe vma flags;

In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the\nunref for interleave policies.\n\nA separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known\nerrors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.\n\nThis patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,\nsimplifies the code. Maybe I\u0027ll get it right this time.\n\nSee the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of\nmemory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.\n\nSummary:\n\nLookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for\nshared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared\npolicies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference\ncounting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies\nwhen we\u0027re finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]\nhelper function introduced by this patch.\n\nNote that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma\ncontaining just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()\nmultiple times, so we can\u0027t let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in\nthis case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and\nremove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading\na page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue\nhere.\n\nI introduced a new static inline function \"mpol_cond_copy()\" to copy the\nshared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a\nconditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that\nthe struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures\nthat must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.\n\nSigned-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn \u003clee.schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: David Rientjes \u003crientjes@google.com\u003e\nCc: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003cak@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": "f0be3d32b05d3fea2fcdbbb81a39dac2a7163169", "tree": "5794ce6a8befbce82cd3e44ff15fbf3bb5f2f3bf", "parents": [ "3b1163006332302117b1b2acf226d4014ff46525" ], "author": { "name": "Lee Schermerhorn", "email": "lee.schermerhorn@hp.com", "time": "Mon Apr 28 02:13:08 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Apr 28 08:58:23 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mempolicy: rename mpol_free to mpol_put\n\nThis is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman.

(We could later tweak swap allocation to make it even more\nlikely, but this patch is merely about removing cruft.)\n\nSo, neither adjust nor increment addr in swapin_readahead, and then\nshmem_swapin can use it too; the pseudo-vma to pass policy need only be set up\nonce per cluster, and so few fields of pvma are used, let\u0027s skip the memset -\nfrom shmem_alloc_page also.\n\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e84e2e132c9c66d8498e7710d4ea532d1feaaac5", "tree": "f754be23d6b37af04d203eb6e34ac7cdb5f84a4b", "parents": [ "9bfb52ad716e74785b2402b7ea17f30e0344b8e8" ], "author": { "name": "Hugh Dickins", "email": "hugh@veritas.com", "time": "Wed Nov 28 18:55:10 2007 +0000" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Nov 28 11:04:28 2007 -0800" }, "message": "tmpfs: restore missing clear_highpage\n\ntmpfs was misconverted to __GFP_ZERO in 2.6.11.
