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": "23c1fb52961bc24bd3a8078eefc49eed533b2b38", "tree": "48500a3495dbbf623751bc3b9e884dd25e3c86c3", "parents": [ "0da2f0f164f098bb4447c714b552ac1681b2d6e8" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "peterz@infradead.org", "time": "Fri Jul 06 13:35:34 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jul 06 10:26:50 2007 -0700" }, "message": "mm: fixup /proc/vmstat output\n\nLine up the vmstat_text with zone_stat_item\n\nenum zone_stat_item {\n\t/* First 128 byte cacheline (assuming 64 bit words) */\n\tNR_FREE_PAGES,\n\tNR_INACTIVE,\n\tNR_ACTIVE,\n\nWe current have nr_active and nr_inactive reversed.\n\n[ \"OK with patch, though using initializers canbe handy to prevent such\n things in future:\n\n\tstatic const char * const vmstat_text[] \u003d {\n\t\t[NR_FREE_PAGES] \u003d \"nr_free_pages\",\n\t\t...\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t - Alexey ]\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nAcked-by: Alexey Dobriyan \u003cadobriyan@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e8edc6e03a5c8562dc70a6d969f732bdb355a7e7", "tree": "fc86c863655128a7041dfe613d14393d761fa7b9", "parents": [ "ff1be9ad61e3e17ba83702d8ed0b534e5b8ee15c" ], "author": { "name": "Alexey Dobriyan", "email": "adobriyan@gmail.com", "time": "Mon May 21 01:22:52 2007 +0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon May 21 09:18:19 2007 -0700" }, "message": "Detach sched.h from mm.h\n\nFirst thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline\nfunction which has \"current\" dereference inside.

The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to\nprovide compatibility with SLAB.

This will lead to some overlap in large\nsystems. F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm\nupdates occurring at once.\n\nHowever, the vm stats update only accesses per node information.

They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,\nin fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).\nThis causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.\n\nFrom: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\n\n__zone_reclaim() isn\u0027t modifying zone-\u003eprev_priority. But zone-\u003eprev_priority\nis used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive\nlist. Hence there\u0027s a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because\nzone-\u003eprev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up\nstuck on the active list.\n\nFix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone-\u003eprev_priority as\n__zone_reclaim() scans the zone\u0027s pages.\n\nThis bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be\npossible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?\n\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnickpiggin@yahoo.com.au\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@engr.sgi.com\u003e\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "038b0a6d8d32db934bba6a24e74e76e4e327a94f", "tree": "5fbeb3e8f140e20f8ce0e33e12b32ec5b0724cd6", "parents": [ "78b656b8bf933101b42409b4492734b23427bfc3" ], "author": { "name": "Dave Jones", "email": "davej@redhat.com", "time": "Wed Oct 04 03:38:54 2006 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Dave Jones", "email": "davej@redhat.com", "time": "Wed Oct 04 03:38:54 2006 -0400" }, "message": "Remove all inclusions of \u003clinux/config.h\u003e\nkbuild explicitly includes this at build time.\n\nSigned-off-by: Dave Jones \u003cdavej@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "5d2923436217ba8bd05c5ee157712a391891c382", "tree": "ddb06469d5a992a1839ca5d7f626486ac99490d2", "parents": [ "66a550308b8e4cbaba185d0326cb05d1bd758101" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Wed Sep 27 01:50:10 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 27 08:26:13 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] zone_statistics: Use hot node instead of cold zone_pgdat\n\nNow that we have the node in the hot zone of struct zone we can avoid\naccessing zone_pgdat in zone_statistics.\n\nSigned-off-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": "e129b5c23c2b471d47f1c5d2b8b193fc2034af43", "tree": "78232266849d0f04b056b0f44554bcb476f0b8e1", "parents": [ "fb01439c5b778d5974a488c5d4fe85e6d0e18a68" ], "author": { "name": "Andrew Morton", "email": "akpm@osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 27 01:50:00 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 27 08:26:12 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] vm: add per-zone writeout counter\n\nThe VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the\nLRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates).

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().

ZVCs are reliable whereas\nevent counters do not need to be.\n\nZone based VM statistics are necessary to be able to determine what the state\nof memory in one zone is. In a NUMA system this can be helpful for local\nreclaim and other memory optimizations that may be able to shift VM load in\norder to get more balanced memory use.\n\nIt is also useful to know how the computing load affects the memory\nallocations on various zones. This patchset allows the retrieval of that data\nfrom userspace.\n\nThe patchset introduces a framework for counters that is a cross between the\nexisting page_stats --which are simply global counters split per cpu-- and the\napproach of deferred incremental updates implemented for nr_pagecache.\n\nSmall per cpu 8 bit counters are added to struct zone. If the counter exceeds\ncertain thresholds then the counters are accumulated in an array of\natomic_long in the zone and in a global array that sums up all zone values.\nThe small 8 bit counters are next to the per cpu page pointers and so they\nwill be in high in the cpu cache when pages are allocated and freed.\n\nAccess to VM counter information for a zone and for the whole machine is then\npossible by simply indexing an array (Thanks to Nick Piggin for pointing out\nthat approach). 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.
