* vmscan: move ClearPageActive from move_active_pages() to shrink_active_list()KOSAKI Motohiro2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The move_active_pages_to_lru() function is called under irq disabled and ClearPageActive() doesn't need irq disabling. Then, this patch move it into shrink_active_list().

* mm: count only reclaimable lru pagesWu Fengguang2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | global_lru_pages() / zone_lru_pages() can be used in two ways: - to estimate max reclaimable pages in determine_dirtyable_memory() - to calculate the slab scan ratio When swap is full or not present, the anon lru lists are not reclaimable and also won't be scanned. So the anon pages shall not be counted in both usage scenarios. Also rename to _reclaimable_pages: now they are counting the possibly reclaimable lru pages. It can greatly (and correctly) increase the slab scan rate under high memory pressure (when most file pages have been reclaimed and swap is full/absent), thus reduce false OOM kills.

* vmscan: throttle direct reclaim when too many pages are isolated alreadyRik van Riel2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When way too many processes go into direct reclaim, it is possible for all of the pages to be taken off the LRU. One result of this is that the next process in the page reclaim code thinks there are no reclaimable pages left and triggers an out of memory kill. One solution to this problem is to never let so many processes into the page reclaim path that the entire LRU is emptied. Limiting the system to only having half of each inactive list isolated for reclaim should be safe.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the system is running a heavy load of processes then concurrent reclaim can isolate a large number of pages from the LRU. /proc/vmstat and the output generated for an OOM do not show how many pages were isolated. This has been observed during process fork bomb testing (mstctl11 in LTP). This patch shows the information about isolated pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If sc->isolate_pages() return 0, we don't need to call shrink_page_list(). In past days, shrink_inactive_list() handled it properly. But commit fb8d14e1 (three years ago commit!) breaked it. current shrink_inactive_list() always call shrink_page_list() although isolate_pages() return 0. This patch restore proper return value check. Requirements: o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay before calling shrink_page_list(). o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay after nr_scan related statistics modification.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache. Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory shortage problem. We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem pages: shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.

* hugetlb: restore interleaving of bootmem huge pagesLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next node on failure to allocate a huge page, potentially filling nodes with huge-pages. I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the usual huge page suspects. Mel Gorman responded: I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in commit 63b4613c3f0d4b724ba259dc6c201bb68b884e1a ["hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when allocation was successful. This patch--factored out of my "hugetlb mempolicy" series--moves the advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test for success of the attempted allocation. Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() is only used for order > MAX_ORDER huge pages. I'll post a separate patch for mainline/stable, as the above mentioned "balance freeing" series renamed the next node to alloc function.

* fs: make sure data stored into inode is properly seen before unlocking new inodeJan Kara2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode from iget_locked(). This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

| * perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar2009-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already have a list_entry() in list.h. Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the purpose of that list. Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group hiearchy.
