* add mm argument to pte/pmd/pud/pgd_freeBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (with Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>) The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm argument is needed on the free function as well.

* Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functionsChristoph Lameter2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works. - Eliminate useless functions - Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain all pages not only those of the local processor. - Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages() disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to disable interrupts. - Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c - Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining of processor local pages is may not the right approach if software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages then we can make drain_pages() static.

* radix-tree: avoid atomic allocations for preloaded insertionsNick Piggin2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most pagecache (and some other) radix tree insertions have the great opportunity to preallocate a few nodes with relaxed gfp flags. But the preallocation is squandered when it comes time to allocate a node, we default to first attempting a GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- that doesn't normally fail, but it can eat into atomic memory reserves that we don't need to be using. Another upshot of this is that it removes the sometimes highly contended zone->lock from underneath tree_lock. Pagecache insertions are always performed with a radix tree preload, and after this change, such a situation will never fall back to kmem_cache_alloc within radix_tree_node_alloc. David Miller reports seeing this allocation fail on a highly threaded sparc64 system: [527319.459981] dd: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20 [527319.460403] Call Trace: [527319.460568] [00000000004b71e0] __slab_alloc+0x1b0/0x6a8 [527319.460636] [00000000004b7bbc] kmem_cache_alloc+0x4c/0xa8 [527319.460698] [000000000055309c] radix_tree_node_alloc+0x20/0x90 [527319.460763] [0000000000553238] radix_tree_insert+0x12c/0x260 [527319.460830] [0000000000495cd0] add_to_page_cache+0x38/0xb0 [527319.460893] [00000000004e4794] mpage_readpages+0x6c/0x134 [527319.460955] [000000000049c7fc] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x170/0x280 [527319.461028] [000000000049cc88] ondemand_readahead+0x208/0x214 [527319.461094] [0000000000496018] do_generic_mapping_read+0xe8/0x428 [527319.461152] [0000000000497948] generic_file_aio_read+0x108/0x170 [527319.461217] [00000000004badac] do_sync_read+0x88/0xd0 [527319.461292] [00000000004bb5cc] vfs_read+0x78/0x10c [527319.461361] [00000000004bb920] sys_read+0x34/0x60 [527319.461424] [0000000000406294] linux_sparc_syscall32+0x3c/0x40 The calltrace is significant: __do_page_cache_readahead allocates a number of pages with GFP_KERNEL, and hence it should have reclaimed sufficient memory to satisfy GFP_ATOMIC allocations. However after the list of pages goes to mpage_readpages, there can be significant intervals (including disk IO) before all the pages are inserted into the radix-tree. So the reserves can easily be depleted at that point. The patch is confirmed to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: "David S.

* maps4: rework TASK_SIZE macrosDave Hansen2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following replaces the earlier patches sent. It should address David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the architectures that it touches, save for parisc. For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how much virtual address space a particular task has. The trick is that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it references "current" on some arches. The process opening the /proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's pagemap file. x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro: #define TASK_SIZE_OF(child) ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64) I'd like to have that for other architectures. So, add it for all the architectures that actually use "current" in their TASK_SIZE. For the others, just add a quick #define in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE. 1. http://www.linuxworld.com/news/2007/042407-kernel.html - MIPS portion from Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* maps4: add proportional set size accounting in smapsFengguang Wu2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing it. So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one other process, its PSS will be 1500. - lwn.net: "ELC: How much memory are applications really using?" The PSS proposed by Matt Mackall is a very nice metic for measuring an process's memory footprint. So collect and export it via /proc/<pid>/smaps. Matt Mackall's pagemap/kpagemap and John Berthels's exmap can also do the job. They are comprehensive tools. But for PSS, let's do it in the simple way.

* tmpfs: fix shmem_swaplist racesHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intensive swapoff testing shows shmem_unuse spinning on an entry in shmem_swaplist pointing to itself: how does that come about? Days pass... First guess is this: shmem_delete_inode tests list_empty without taking the global mutex (so the swapping case doesn't slow down the common case); but there's an instant in shmem_unuse_inode's list_move_tail when the list entry may appear empty (a rare case, because it's actually moving the head not the the list member). So there's a danger of leaving the inode on the swaplist when it's freed, then reinitialized to point to itself when reused. Fix that by skipping the list_move_tail when it's a no-op, which happens to plug this. But this same spinning then surfaces on another machine. Ah, I'd never suspected it, but shmem_writepage's swaplist manipulation is unsafe: though we still hold page lock, which would hold off inode deletion if the page were in pagecache, it doesn't hold off once it's in swapcache (free_swap_and_cache doesn't wait on locked pages). Hmm: we could put the the inode on swaplist earlier, but then shmem_unuse_inode could never prune unswapped inodes. Fix this with an igrab before dropping info->lock, as in shmem_unuse_inode; though I am a little uneasy about the iput which has to follow - it works, and I see nothing wrong with it, but it is surprising that shmem inode deletion may now occur below shmem_writepage. Revisit this fix later? And while we're looking at these races: the way shmem_unuse tests swapped without holding info->lock looks unsafe, if we've more than one swap area: a racing shmem_writepage on another page of the same inode could be putting it in swapcache, just as we're deciding to remove the inode from swaplist - there's a danger of going on swap without being listed, so a later swapoff would hang, being unable to locate the entry. Move that test and removal down into shmem_unuse_inode, once info->lock is held.

* tmpfs: radix_tree_preloadingHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nick has observed that shmem.c still uses GFP_ATOMIC when adding to page cache or swap cache, without any radix tree preload: so tending to deplete emergency reserves of memory. GFP_ATOMIC remains appropriate in shmem_writepage's add_to_swap_cache: it's being called under memory pressure, so must not wait for more memory to become available. But shmem_unuse_inode now has a window in which it can and should preload with GFP_KERNEL, and say GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in its add_to_page_cache. shmem_getpage is not so straightforward: its filepage/swappage integrity relies upon exchanging between caches under spinlock, and it would need a lot of restructuring to place the preloads correctly. Instead, follow its pattern of retrying on races: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in add_to_page_cache, and begin each circuit of the repeat loop with a sleeping radix_tree_preload, followed immediately by radix_tree_preload_end - that won't guarantee success in the next add_to_page_cache, but doesn't need to. And we can then remove that bothersome congestion_wait: when needed, it'll automatically get done in the course of the radix_tree_preload.

* tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inodeHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap entry, and its handling of the entry found. shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too. Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match. Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.

* tmpfs: make shmem_unuse more preemptibleHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shmem_unuse is at present an unbroken search through every swap vector page of every tmpfs file which might be swapped, all under shmem_swaplist_lock. This dates from long ago, when the caller held mmlist_lock over it all too: long gone, but there's never been much pressure for preemptible swapoff. Make it a little more preemptible, replacing shmem_swaplist_lock by shmem_swaplist_mutex, inserting a cond_resched in the main loop, and a cond_resched_lock (on info->lock) at one convenient point in the shmem_unuse_inode loop, where it has no outstanding kmap_atomic. If we're serious about preemptible swapoff, there's much further to go e.g. I'm stupid to let the kmap_atomics of the decreasingly significant HIGHMEM case dictate preemptiblility for other configs. But as in the earlier patch to make swapoff scan ptes preemptibly, my hidden agenda is really towards making memcgroups work, hardly about preemptibility at all.

* tmpfs: allocate on read when stackedHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tmpfs is expected to limit the memory used (unless mounted with nr_blocks=0 or size=0). But if a stacked filesystem such as unionfs gets pages from a sparse tmpfs file by reading holes, and then writes to them, it can easily exceed any such limit at present. So suppress the SGP_READ "don't allocate page" ZERO_PAGE optimization when reading for the kernel (a KERNEL_DS check, ugh, sorry about that). Indeed, pessimistically mark such pages as dirty, so they cannot get reclaimed and unaccounted by mistake. The venerable shmem_recalc_inode code (originally to account for the reclaim of clean pages) suffices to get the accounting right when swappages are dropped in favour of more uptodate filepages. This also fixes the NULL shmem_swp_entry BUG or oops in shmem_writepage, caused by unionfs writing to a very sparse tmpfs file: to minimize memory allocation in swapout, tmpfs requires the swap vector be allocated upfront, which wasn't always happening in this stacked case.

* tmpfs: allow filepage alongside swappageHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tmpfs has long allowed for a fresh filepage to be created in pagecache, just before shmem_getpage gets the chance to match it up with the swappage which already belongs to that offset. But unionfs_writepage now does a find_or_create_page, divorced from shmem_getpage, which leaves conflicting filepage and swappage outstanding indefinitely, when unionfs is over tmpfs. Therefore shmem_writepage (where a page is swizzled from file to swap) must now be on the lookout for existing swap, ready to free it in favour of the more uptodate filepage, instead of BUGging on that clash. And when the add_to_page_cache fails in shmem_unuse_inode, it must defer to an uptodate filepage, otherwise swapoff would hang. Whereas when add_to_page_cache fails in shmem_getpage, it should retry in the same way it already does.

Move them from swap_state.c into their callsites shmem_writepage, shmem_unuse_inode and shmem_getpage, making add_to_swap_cache externally visible. shmem.c likes to say set_page_dirty where swap_state.c liked to say SetPageDirty: respect that diversity, which __set_page_dirty_no_writeback makes moot (and implies we should lose that "shift page from clean_pages to dirty_pages list" comment: it's on neither).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When tmpfs is mounted with a size less than one page, the number of blocks is set to 0 which makes the tmpfs mount unlimited. This can lead to a quick and surprising death if someone typos a tmpfs mount command and writes too much. tmpfs can still be mounted as unlimited if size or nr_blocks is exactly 0, as Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt says. Hugh: do this by rounding size up instead of down in all cases: which slightly expands other odd-sized tmpfs mounts, but in a consistent way.

* swapoff: scan ptes preemptiblyHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provided that CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set, unuse_pte_range can reduce latency in swapoff by scanning the page table preemptibly: so long as unuse_pte is careful to recheck that entry under pte lock. (To tell the truth, this patch was not inspired by any cries for lower latency here: rather, this restructuring permits a future memory controller patch to allocate with GFP_KERNEL in unuse_pte, where before it could not. But it would be wrong to tuck this change away inside a memcgroup patch.)

* swapin: fix valid_swaphandles defectHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | valid_swaphandles is supposed to do a quick pass over the swap map entries neigbouring the entry which swapin_readahead is targetting, to determine for it a range worth reading all together. But since it always starts its search from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around the target entry. Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called "si" not "swapdev". And at the end, if only the target page should be read, return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated call to read_swap_cache_async.

* shmem_file_write is redundantHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the old aops, writing to a tmpfs file had to use its own special method: the generic method would pass in a fresh page to prepare_write when the right page was there in swapcache - which was inefficient to handle, even once we'd concocted the code to handle it. With the new aops, the generic method uses shmem_write_end, which lets shmem_getpage find the right page: so now abandon shmem_file_write in favour of the generic method. Yes, that does do several things that tmpfs hasn't really needed (notably balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited, which ramfs also calls); but more use of common code is preferable.

Then shmem_write_end must unlock the page: do so _after_ updating i_size, as we found to be important in other filesystems (though since shmem pages don't go the usual writeback route, they never suffered from that corruption). For shmem_write_begin to return the page locked, we need shmem_getpage to return the page locked in SGP_WRITE case as well as SGP_CACHE case: let's simplify the interface and return it locked even when SGP_READ.

* swapin needs gfp_mask for loop on tmpfsHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout. In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has become easy to hang on one machine. Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache). When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in, read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang. So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

* swapin_readahead: excise NUMA bogosityHugh Dickins2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For three years swapin_readahead has been cluttered with fanciful CONFIG_NUMA code, advancing addr, and stepping on to the next vma at the boundary, to line up the mempolicy for each page allocation. It _might_ be a good idea to allocate swap more according to vma layout; but the fact is, that's not how we do it at all, 2.6 even less than 2.4: swap is allocated as needed for pages as they sink to the bottom of the inactive LRUs. Sometimes that may match vma layout, but not so often that it's worth going to these misleading vma->vm_next lengths: rip all that out. Originally I intended to retain the incrementation of addr, but correct its initial value: valid_swaphandles generally supplies an offset below the target addr (this is readaround rather than readahead), but addr has not been adjusted accordingly, so in the interleave case it has usually been allocating the target page from the "wrong" node (though that may not matter very much). But look at the equivalent shmem_swapin code: either by oversight or by design, though it has all the apparatus for choosing a new mempolicy per page, it uses the same idx throughout, choosing the same mempolicy and interleave node for each page of the cluster. Which is actually a much better strategy: each node has its own LRUs and its own kswapd, so if you're betting on any particular relationship between swap and node, the best bet is that nearby swap entries belong to pages from the same node - even when the mempolicy of the target page is to interleave. And examining a map of nodes corresponding to swap entries on a numa=fake system bears this out. (We could later tweak swap allocation to make it even more likely, but this patch is merely about removing cruft.) So, neither adjust nor increment addr in swapin_readahead, and then shmem_swapin can use it too; the pseudo-vma to pass policy need only be set up once per cluster, and so few fields of pvma are used, let's skip the memset - from shmem_alloc_page also.

* Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_userChristoph Lameter2008-02-05

It takes the position where to start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and makes code clearer. zero_user_segment(page, start, end) Same for a single segment. zero_user(page, start, length) Length variant for the case where we know the length. We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues: 1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable. 2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM. Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code. Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other functions defined in highmem.h. Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these functions are called. Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

This mostly reorganizes some existing logic, with two minor changes in behavior: - The PSR registers are used instead of the previous "gpio_mask" values, matching AT91 behavior and removing some duplication between that role and that of "pinmux_mask". - NR_IRQs grew to acommodate a bank of external GPIOs. Eventually this number should probably become a board-specific config option. There's a debugfs dump of status for the built-in GPIOs, showing which pins have deglitching, pullups, or open drain drive enabled, as well as the ID string used when requesting each IRQ.
