* [PATCH] kcalloc(): INT_MAX -> ULONG_MAXAdrian Bunk2006-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since size_t has the same size as a long on all architectures, it's enough for overflow checks to check against ULONG_MAX. This change could allow a compiler better optimization (especially in the n=1 case). The practical effect seems to be positive, but quite small: text data bss dec hex filename 21762380 5859870 1848928 29471178 1c1b1ca vmlinux-old 21762211 5859870 1848928 29471009 1c1b121 vmlinux-patched Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] hugepage allocator cleanupNick Piggin2006-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Insert "fresh" huge pages into the hugepage allocator by the same means as they are freed back into it. This reduces code size and allows enqueue_huge_page to be inlined into the hugepage free fastpath. Eliminate occurances of hugepages on the free list with non-zero refcount. This can allow stricter refcount checks in future. Also required for lockless pagecache. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> "This patch also eliminates a leak "cleaned up" by re-clobbering the refcount on every allocation from the hugepage freelists. With respect to the lockless pagecache, the crucial aspect is to eliminate unconditional set_page_count() to 0 on pages with potentially nonzero refcounts, though closer inspection suggests the assignments removed are entirely spurious."

* [PATCH] mm: cleanup bootmemNick Piggin2006-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bootmem code added to page_alloc.c duplicated some page freeing code that it really doesn't need to because it is not so performance critical. While we're here, make prefetching work properly by actually prefetching the page we're about to use before prefetching ahead to the next one (ie. get the most important transaction started first). Also prefetch just a single page ahead rather than leaving a gap of 16. Jack Steiner reported no problems with SGI's ia64 simulator.

* [PATCH] mm: simplify vmscan vs release refcountingNick Piggin2006-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VM has an interesting race where a page refcount can drop to zero, but it is still on the LRU lists for a short time. This was solved by testing a 0->1 refcount transition when picking up pages from the LRU, and dropping the refcount in that case. Instead, use atomic_add_unless to ensure we never pick up a 0 refcount page from the LRU, thus a 0 refcount page will never have its refcount elevated until it is allocated again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the sleep_avg multiplier. This multiplier was necessary back when we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in some cases. This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other recently reported network related interactivity problems. In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.

When performing such writes from the kernel this is not a problem, as a kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU during execution, and mmiowb() calls can guarantee write ordering when control of the IO resource is allowed to move between threads. However, when MMIO writes can be performed from user space (e.g. DRM) there are no such guarantees and mechanisms, as the process may context-switch at any time, and may migrate to a different CPU as part of the switch. For such programs/hardware to operate correctly, it is required that the MMIO writes from the old CPU be accepted by the IO hardware before subsequent writes from the new CPU can be issued. The following patch implements this behavior on SN2 by waiting for a Shub register to indicate that these writes have been accepted. This is placed in the context switch-in path, and only performs the wait when the newly scheduled task changes CPUs.
