* [PATCH] mm: sh64 hugetlbpage.cHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | The sh64 hugetlbpage.c seems to be erroneous, left over from a bygone age, clashing with the common hugetlb.c. Replace it by a copy of the sh hugetlbpage.c. Except, delete that mk_pte_huge macro neither uses.

* [PATCH] mm: dup_mmap down new mmap_semHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | One anomaly remains from when Andrea rationalized the responsibilities of mmap_sem and page_table_lock: in dup_mmap we add vmas to the child holding its page_table_lock, but not the mmap_sem which normally guards the vma list and rbtree. Which could be an issue for unuse_mm: though since it just walks down the list (today with page_table_lock, tomorrow not), it's probably okay. Will need a memory barrier? Oh, keep it simple, Nick and I agreed, no harm in taking child's mmap_sem here.

* [PATCH] mm: batch updating mm_countersHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | tlb_finish_mmu used to batch zap_pte_range's update of mm rss, which may be worthwhile if the mm is contended, and would reduce atomic operations if the counts were atomic. Let zap_pte_range now batch its updates to file_rss and anon_rss, per page-table in case we drop the lock outside; and copy_pte_range batch them too.

* [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rssHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

* [PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_countersHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | How is anon_rss initialized? In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type. And how is rss initialized? By set_mm_counter, all over the place. Come on, we just need to initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the memcpy when forking).

* [PATCH] mm: tlb_finish_mmu forget rssHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss. That got stranger when I added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros. And it would no longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock. Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that). And forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative - if rss does go negative, just fix that bug. Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use was being made of them. But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush. arm26 seems to prefer spaces to tabs here: respect that.

* [PATCH] mm: tlb_is_full_mm was obscureHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tlb_is_full_mm? What does that mean? The TLB is full? No, it means that the mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down. And it's an inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better) "tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm". And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64. Rather than correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

* [PATCH] mm: tlb_gather_mmu get_cpu_varHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather. That works because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu. But don't rely on that, it will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

* [PATCH] mm: move_page_tables by extentsHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Speeding up mremap's moving of ptes has never been a priority, but the locking will get more complicated shortly, and is already too baroque. Scrap the current one-by-one moving, do an extent at a time: curtailed by end of src and dst pmds (have to use PMD_SIZE: the way pmd_addr_end gets elided doesn't match this usage), and by latency considerations. One nice property of the old method is lost: it never allocated a page table unless absolutely necessary, so you could free empty page tables by mremapping to and fro. Whereas this way, it allocates a dst table wherever there was a src table. I keep diving in to reinstate the old behaviour, then come out preferring not to clutter how it now is.

* [PATCH] mm: page fault handlers tidyupHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page, do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their arguments in the same order, called the same names? break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page. do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear vmas, so just check that. BUG_ON if not? Better not, it's probably page table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too. Hah! Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it: restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

* [PATCH] mm: unlink_file_vma, remove_vmaHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free. The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier, in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem). This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock. But testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.

* [PATCH] shrink_list(): skip anon pages if not may_swapLee Schermerhorn2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted. Ref: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4 However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon (). try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap cache. Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but agrees that it might happen. This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the cache.

* [PATCH] swaptoken tuningRik Van Riel2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page fault. This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the page fault code does. This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and "turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding the token is thrashing. Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing control concept. The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but still a big win over running without the swap token. 2.6.12+ swap token disabled $ for i in `seq 10` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 101.74user 23.13system 8:26.91elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (38597major+430315minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.98user 24.91system 8:03.06elapsed 26%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (33939major+430457minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.93user 22.12system 7:34.90elapsed 27%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (33166major+421267minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.82user 22.38system 8:31.40elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (39338major+433262minor)pagefaults 0swaps 2.6.12+ swap token enabled, timeout 300 seconds $ for i in `seq 4` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 102.58user 16.08system 3:41.44elapsed 53%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19707major+285786minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.07user 19.56system 4:00.64elapsed 50%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19012major+299259minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.64user 18.25system 4:07.31elapsed 48%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (21990major+304831minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.39user 19.41system 5:15.81elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (24850major+323321minor)pagefaults 0swaps 2.6.12+ with new swap token code, timeout 300 seconds $ for i in `seq 4` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 101.87user 24.66system 5:53.20elapsed 35%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (26848major+363497minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.83user 19.95system 4:17.25elapsed 47%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19946major+305722minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.09user 19.46system 5:12.57elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (25461major+334994minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.67user 20.61system 4:52.97elapsed 41%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (22190major+329508minor)pagefaults 0swaps Signed-off-by: Rik Van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| * [ARM] 3050/1: remove ixp2000_reg_write erratum #66 workaroundLennert Buytenhek2005-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The workaround that we do for avoiding triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 involves mapping I/O pages using XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 so that we prevent the I/O signal to the gasket from being asserted (which can cause data corruption.) But XCB=101 mappings are write-buffered while mappings using XCB=000 are not, which is why if we use XCB=101 mappings we do a readback for every CSR store in an attempt to make sure that the store has been pushed out of the xscale core and the gasket. Unfortunately, there are two issues with this: - we do a readback for every CSR store, which is wrong, because the register we are writing to might have unwanted side-effects on read, for example, in the case of the scratchpad ring enqueue/dequeue registers; and - the readback is totally ineffective in the way we currently do it, because we just issue a load but do not issue any instruction that depends on the return value of that load, so the xscale core does not wait for the load to complete before continuing. See this linux-arm-kernel mailing list post for further information: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2005-September/031314.html This means that my ixp2400 boxes have been running for many months without a working readback in ixp2000_reg_write, without any apparent adverse effects. Two of them have been running for a week now with the actual readback deleted from ixp2000_reg_write, also without any apparent ill effects. So, because in its current form it does more harm than good, the readback in ixp2000_reg_write should simply be killed, as the patch below does.
