This solves two problems:\n\n (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of\n shmat\u0027s (and forks) done.\n\n (2) In mmap() where the VMA\u0027s vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an\n exec\u0027ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact\n that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another\n process or a dead process.\n\nA new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember\nthe circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure\nis discarded as it\u0027s no longer required.\n\nThis patch makes the following additional changes:\n\n (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and\n with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,\n each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is\n interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.\n When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to\n put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.\n\n (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be\n made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.\n\n (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM\u0027s R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may\n end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is\n appended to the sort key.\n\n (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode\u0027s prio list.\n\n (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of\n the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if\n necessary.\n\n (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory\n segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple\n shmat()\u0027s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different\n virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.\n\n (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.\n\n (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits\n that aren\u0027t actually mapped anywhere.\n\n (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged \"MmapCopy\") that indicates the amount\n of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can\u0027t be\n mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not\n anonymous.\n\nThese changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that\nNOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this\npatch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nTested-by: Mike Frysinger \u003cvapier.adi@gmail.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Paul Mundt \u003clethal@linux-sh.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1c0fe6e3bda0464728c23c8d84aa47567e8b716c", "tree": "64f7903ee7757b14464e8a06bf91f5c4d5a8ba56", "parents": [ "5bd1455c239672081d0e7f086e899b8cbc7a9844" ], "author": { "name": "Nick Piggin", "email": "npiggin@suse.de", "time": "Tue Jan 06 14:38:59 2009 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jan 06 15:58:58 2009 -0800" }, "message": "mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault\n\nRather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets\na VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.\n\nWith increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,\noom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,\npanic on oom, etc), it\u0027s silly to unconditionally kill the faulting\nprocess at page fault time.

This can be a problem if an application relied on unlimited\novercommit semantics for private mappings. An example of this would be an\napplication which maps a huge area with the intention of using it very\nsparsely. These application would benefit from being able to opt-out of\nthe strict overcommit. It should be noted that prior to hugetlb\nsupporting demand faulting all mappings were fully populated and so\napplications of this type should be rare.\n\nThis patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page\nmappings. This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings,\nsuppressing reservations for that mapping.\n\nThanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these\npatches.\n\nThis patch:\n\nWhen a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created\nby default for any memory pages required. When the region is read/write\nthe reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for\nread-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page). Reservations\nare tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region\nhas reservation backing it. When we convert a region from read-only to\nread-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set. However,\nwhen a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable\nfrom a normal mapping. When we then convert that to read/write we are\nforced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of\nthe original MAP_NORESERVE.\n\nThis patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the\npresence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag. This allows us to\ndistinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve.\n\nAs well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to\nintroduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available\nconsistantly for the life of the mapping. VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is\nheavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andy Whitcroft \u003capw@shadowen.org\u003e\nCc: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Adam Litke \u003cagl@us.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Johannes Weiner \u003channes@saeurebad.de\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: Michael Kerrisk \u003cmtk.manpages@googlemail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9109fb7b3520de187ebc3646c209d66a233f7169", "tree": "f1d64d2efafb8e1652836126523f1b36fb10acd1", "parents": [ "2185e69f680ae8c8496b6fc15e20c889d5b39b67" ], "author": { "name": "Johannes Weiner", "email": "hannes@saeurebad.de", "time": "Wed Jul 23 21:27:20 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Jul 24 10:47:16 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: drop unneeded pgdat argument from free_area_init_node()\n\nfree_area_init_node() gets passed in the node id as well as the node\ndescriptor.

So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based\nscheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get\nslightly better code generation in the process):\n\nvm_normal_page()\n{\n#ifdef s390\n\tif (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))\n\t\treturn NULL;\n\treturn pte_page(pte);\n#else\n\t...\n#endif\n}\n\nAnd finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather\nthan making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.\nUnfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may\nnot be able to spare pte bits.

Also, while it\ndepends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the\nonly two possible cases, and it really isn\u0027t an arch specific function --\nthe role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and\naccessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do\nnot want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and\nwe definitely don\u0027t want them being able to invent something new there\nout of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then\nwe have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I\ndon\u0027t think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,\nwhile it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both\nmm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Carsten Otte \u003ccotte@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Jared Hulbert \u003cjaredeh@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Martin Schwidefsky \u003cschwidefsky@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Heiko Carstens \u003cheiko.carstens@de.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b379d790197cdf8a95fb67507d75a24ac0a1678d", "tree": "8ea36c9a0766aca3cfd69cd33aa8a5d2ca8dd2d4", "parents": [ "214e471ff99064726b2d8af3aa0e24a73c775531" ], "author": { "name": "Jared Hulbert", "email": "jaredeh@gmail.com", "time": "Mon Apr 28 02:12:58 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Apr 28 08:58:22 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: introduce VM_MIXEDMAP\n\nThis series introduces some important infrastructure work. The overall result\nis that:\n\n1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no\n struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement\n this for s390.\n\n This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand,\n in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a\n readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently,\n guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have\n 100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct\n pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?)\n\n For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non-\n volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then\n your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even\n though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly\n eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more\n attractive to a lot of these guys.\n\n2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want\n to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support\n COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM\n filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will\n most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing,\n which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not)\n comes from.\n\n3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless\n get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up \"oltp\" on db2 by\n 10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they\n scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these\n workloads. I\u0027m hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on\n pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not\n meant to justify this patchset (which doesn\u0027t include lockless gup),\n but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that\n should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it\n on at least x86 and powerpc as well.\n\nThis patch:\n\nIntroduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP. This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in\nthat it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without\nstruct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount\n(PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations\nare mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non\nrefcounted ranges).\n\nVM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not\nrefcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because it\nneeds to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg. for /dev/mem mappings).\n\nSigned-off-by: Jared Hulbert \u003cjaredeh@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Carsten Otte \u003ccotte@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Jared Hulbert \u003cjaredeh@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Martin Schwidefsky \u003cschwidefsky@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Heiko Carstens \u003cheiko.carstens@de.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9223b4190fa1297a59f292f3419fc0285321d0ea", "tree": "c6fbbc6b4c35916232e95686194eea1bd9de7377", "parents": [ "e26831814998cee8e6d9f0a9854cb46c516f5547" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Mon Apr 28 02:12:48 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Apr 28 08:58:21 2008 -0700" }, "message": "pageflags: get rid of FLAGS_RESERVED\n\nNR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using.

These sub-page\npage tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization\ninstruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables\nhave 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries\n(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE\ninstruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor\nfor a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.\nTo avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return\n1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.\n\nProblem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means\nthe s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct\npage. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one\ncannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than\n32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be\naccessible since its not kmapped).\n\nSolution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a\npgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a\nlater patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The\nadditional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the\nNR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and\na destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free\nfunctions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or\nfreed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.\n To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with\npmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page\ncall in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.\n\nSigned-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky \u003cschwidefsky@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: \u003clinux-arch@vger.kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e6473092bd9116583ce9ab8cf1b6570e1aa6fc83", "tree": "e91a7ca6ce89f24a4a2d500d748dabf727c61887", "parents": [ "698dd4ba6b12e34e1e432c944c01478c0b2cd773" ], "author": { "name": "Matt Mackall", "email": "mpm@selenic.com", "time": "Mon Feb 04 22:29:01 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Feb 05 09:44:16 2008 -0800" }, "message": "maps4: introduce a generic page walker\n\nIntroduce a general page table walker\n\nSigned-off-by: Matt Mackall \u003cmpm@selenic.com\u003e\nCc: Dave Hansen \u003chaveblue@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "aec2c3ed01ed54d0cdf7f6b7c4be217c045ac5ea", "tree": "b4fcc3f69567eafe956d2fd0af37ba5ca008c531", "parents": [ "bf53d6f8fa467397a16de2a2500312ae26528d34" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Mon Feb 04 22:28:35 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Feb 05 09:44:14 2008 -0800" }, "message": "VM: allow get_page_unless_zero on compound pages\n\nBoth slab defrag and the large blocksize patches need to ability to take\nrefcounts on compound pages.

These writes to\n the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big\n systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is\n an issue.\n\nAnd indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.\nThere was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked\ntearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.\nThis situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the\npotential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner\ncases where it can really hurt (we don\u0027t want the system to livelock!).\n\nThere are several broad ways to fix this problem:\n1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE\n2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES\n3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely\n\nI will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they\nresult in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit\nthat I can see.\n\nWhy? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a\nfalse optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would\nnot be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be\nexpected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use\nis critical, it should not be working with a significant number of\nZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be\nused).\n\nAs a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many\nmappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not\nincrease much without it.\n\nWhen running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are\nabout 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000\nZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second\nis torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000\npage faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves\nless than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper\nthan a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn\u0027t an obvious loss.\n\nNeither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no\nregressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove\nthe ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,\nwe can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.\n\nThe /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked. I don\u0027t see\nmuch use to them except on benchmarks. All other users of ZERO_PAGE are\nconverted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at\nreplacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are\nmore satisfied with this solution.\n\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus \"snif\" Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "535443f51543df61111bbd234300ae549d220448", "tree": "e9b022969776132b9fd3bde351673edc006a1bac", "parents": [ "7ff81078d8b9f3d05a27b7bd3786ffb1ef1b0d1f" ], "author": { "name": "Fengguang Wu", "email": "wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn", "time": "Tue Oct 16 01:24:36 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Oct 16 09:42:52 2007 -0700" }, "message": "readahead: remove several readahead macros\n\nRemove VM_MAX_CACHE_HIT, MAX_RA_PAGES and MIN_RA_PAGES.\n\nSigned-off-by: Fengguang Wu \u003cwfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn\u003e\nCc: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "29c71111d0557385328211b130246a90f9223b46", "tree": "5588a49ee548d38e15bd7541cec29e069b9e457c", "parents": [ "8f6aac419bd590f535fb110875a51f7db2b62b5b" ], "author": { "name": "Andy Whitcroft", "email": "apw@shadowen.org", "time": "Tue Oct 16 01:24:14 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Oct 16 09:42:51 2007 -0700" }, "message": "vmemmap: generify initialisation via helpers\n\nConvert the common vmemmap population into initialisation helpers for use by\narchitecture vmemmap populators.

It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get\nrid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far\nwhat has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces\nfor virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this\nhas to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.\n\nThis patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap\nis mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are\nphysically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become\nsimple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing\ninvolving memory is required.\n\nThe two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:\n\n #define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn))\n #define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap)\n\nBy having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without\nwasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1\nthis introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big\nenough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid\nphysical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit\nplatforms that support 36 address bits.\n\nHowever, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps\nits 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this\ntechnique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.\nFLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of\nthe memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a\nconstant to which we can simply add the offset.\n\nThis patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and\neven the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and\nNUMA on most platforms.

Also it is full integrated with adaptive readahead.\n\nIt is designed to be called on demand:\n\t- on a missing page, to do synchronous readahead\n\t- on a lookahead page, to do asynchronous readahead\n\nIn this way it eliminated the awkward workarounds for cache hit/miss,\nreadahead thrashing, retried read, and unaligned read. It also adopts the\ndata structure introduced by adaptive readahead, parameterizes readahead\npipelining with `lookahead_index\u0027, and reduces the current/ahead windows to\none single window.\n\nHEURISTICS\n\nThe logic deals with four cases:\n\n\t- sequential-next\n\t\tfound a consistent readahead window, so push it forward\n\n\t- random\n\t\tstandalone small read, so read as is\n\n\t- sequential-first\n\t\tcreate a new readahead window for a sequential/oversize request\n\n\t- lookahead-clueless\n\t\thit a lookahead page not associated with the readahead window,\n\t\tso create a new readahead window and ramp it up\n\nIn each case, three parameters are determined:\n\n\t- readahead index: where the next readahead begins\n\t- readahead size: how much to readahead\n\t- lookahead size: when to do the next readahead (for pipelining)\n\nBEHAVIORS\n\nThe old behaviors are maximally preserved for trivial sequential/random reads.\nNotable changes are:\n\n\t- It no longer imposes strict sequential checks.\n\t It might help some interleaved cases, and clustered random reads.\n\t It does introduce risks of a random lookahead hit triggering an\n\t unexpected readahead. But in general it is more likely to do good\n\t than to do evil.\n\n\t- Interleaved reads are supported in a minimal way.\n\t Their chances of being detected and proper handled are still low.\n\n\t- Readahead thrashings are better handled.\n\t The current readahead leads to tiny average I/O sizes, because it\n\t never turn back for the thrashed pages. They have to be fault in\n\t by do_generic_mapping_read() one by one. Whereas the on-demand\n\t readahead will redo readahead for them.\n\nOVERHEADS\n\nThe new code reduced the overheads of\n\n\t- excessively calling the readahead routine on small sized reads\n\t (the current readahead code insists on seeing all requests)\n\n\t- doing a lot of pointless page-cache lookups for small cached files\n\t (the current readahead only turns itself off after 256 cache hits,\n\t unfortunately most files are \u003c 1MB, so never see that chance)\n\nThat accounts for speedup of\n\t- 0.3% on 1-page sequential reads on sparse file\n\t- 1.2% on 1-page cache hot sequential reads\n\t- 3.2% on 256-page cache hot sequential reads\n\t- 1.3% on cache hot `tar /lib`\n\nHowever, it does introduce one extra page-cache lookup per cache miss, which\nimpacts random reads slightly. That\u0027s 1% overheads for 1-page random reads on\nsparse file.\n\nPERFORMANCE\n\nThe basic benchmark setup is\n\t- 2.6.20 kernel with on-demand readahead\n\t- 1MB max readahead size\n\t- 2.9GHz Intel Core 2 CPU\n\t- 2GB memory\n\t- 160G/8M Hitachi SATA II 7200 RPM disk\n\nThe benchmarks show that\n\t- it maintains the same performance for trivial sequential/random reads\n\t- sysbench/OLTP performance on MySQL gains up to 8%\n\t- performance on readahead thrashing gains up to 3 times\n\niozone throughput (KB/s): roughly the

Between shooting down ptes to\na particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,\ndo_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new\nmapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.\n\nThe most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.\nThis case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the\nfile\u0027s i_size, and its truncate_count.\n\nTruncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before\nunmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the\npage if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page\ntable lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl\nwill serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated\ntruncate_count is actually visible).\n\nComplexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the\ncase where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page\ncan come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in\nprogress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that\ndangling (-\u003emapping \u003d\u003d NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file\nmay be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same\nplace will see a different page.\n\nAndrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using\na page-\u003eflags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but\nthat was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or\nper-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment\n_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large\nperformance hit. Scalability is not an issue.\n\nThis patch implements this latter approach. -\u003enopage implementations return\nwith the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be\ninvalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate\nso). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping\ncompletely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during\ninvalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while\nholding the lock).\n\nThis also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have\nthe page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.\n\nSigned-off-by: 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": "b5fab14e5d87df4d94161ae5f5e0c8625f9ffda2", "tree": "80e206d025be3823797924a8ea8b70c56a6deab9", "parents": [ "a0acd820807680d2ccc4ef3448387fcdbf152c73" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Tue Jul 17 04:03:33 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jul 17 10:23:02 2007 -0700" }, "message": "Add VM_BUG_ON in case someone uses page_mapping on a slab page\n\nDetect slab objects being passed to the page oriented functions of the VM.\n\nIt is not sufficient to simply return NULL because the functions calling\npage_mapping may depend on other items of the page_struct also to be setup\nproperly.

This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a\nsingle memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied\nfrom either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based\nanti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.\n\nThe size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore\u003d parameter specified at\nboot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable\nallocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages\nwithin ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.\n\nWhen selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two\nthings to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is\nused for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM\nbut it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second,\nthe amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout\nNUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of\nmemory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.\n\nBy default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are\npinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that\nallows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge\npage pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of\nthe system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being\nnon-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as\nhuge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.\n\nCredit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during\nreview of the patches.\n\nThis patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable\nby allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added\nmemory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no\nmechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.\n\n[y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix section mismatch of memory hotplug related code]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: various fixes]\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Andy Whitcroft \u003capw@shadowen.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Yasunori Goto \u003cy-goto@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "aa0ac36518be648dda3a32f0b37a8b2b546e1b24", "tree": "b37eac59221187c4dec9ce8445a21c4119d425fb", "parents": [ "cb510b8172602a66467f3551b4be1911f5a7c8c2" ], "author": { "name": "Alexey Dobriyan", "email": "adobriyan@gmail.com", "time": "Sun Jul 15 23:40:39 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Jul 16 09:05:45 2007 -0700" }, "message": "Remove capability.h from mm.h\n\nI forgot to remove capability.h from mm.h while removing sched.h!
