* x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4GZou Nan hai2007-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On systems with huge amount of physical memory, VFS cache and memory memmap may eat all available system memory under 4G, then the system may fail to allocate swiotlb bounce buffer. There was a fix for this issue in arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c, but that fix dose not cover sparsemem model. This patch add fix to sparsemem model by first try to allocate memmap above 4G.

* [PATCH] x86-64: Set HASHDIST_DEFAULT to 1 for x86_64 NUMARavikiran G Thirumalai2007-05-02

Or maybe enable hash distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches? The following patch does it only for x86_64. I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of memory and uses up tlb entries. This was on a 4 way, 2 socket Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode). The results with and without hash distribution are: 1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s 2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s Oprofile output for the duration of run is: 1.

* [PATCH] bootmem: remove useless __init in header fileFranck Bui-Huu2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | __init in headers is pretty useless because the compiler doesn't check it, and they get out of sync relatively frequently. So if you see an __init in a header file, it's quite unreliable and you need to check the definition anyway.

* [XFRM]: Dynamic xfrm_state hash table sizing.David S. Miller2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The grow algorithm is simple, we grow if: 1) we see a hash chain collision at insert, and 2) we haven't hit the hash size limit (currently 1*1024*1024 slots), and 3) the number of xfrm_state objects is > the current hash mask All of this needs some tweaking. Remove __initdata from "hashdist" so we can use it safely at run time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [PATCH] FRV: Fix FRV arch compile errorsDavid Howells2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix some FRV arch compile errors, including: (*) Marking nr_kernel_pages as __meminitdata so that references to it end up being properly calculated rather than being assumed to be in the small data section (and thus calculated wrt the GP register). Not doing this causes the linker to emit errors as the offset is too big to fit into the load instruction. (*) Move pm_power_off into an unconditionally compiled .c file as it's now unconditionally accessed. (*) Declare frv_change_cmode() in a header file rather than in a .c file, and declare it asmlinkage.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Handle empty PXMs that only contain hotplug memoryAndi Kleen2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there. This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so far empty node. Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes. And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node. To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that does what its name implies. TBD should try to use nearby nodes here. Currently we just use any. It's hard to do it better because bootmem doesn't have proper fallback lists yet. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] for_each_online_pgdat: for_each_bootmemKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a list_head to bootmem_data_t and make bootmems use it. bootmem list is sorted by node_boot_start. Only nodes against which init_bootmem() is called are linked to the list. (i386 allocates bootmem only from one node(0) not from all online nodes.) A summary: 1. for_each_online_pgdat() traverses all *online* nodes. 2. alloc_bootmem() allocates memory only from initialized-for-bootmem nodes.

* [PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memoryYasunori Goto2005-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem allocator should be within the requested limit. We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup. With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64 arches.

* [PATCH] sparsemem base: simple NUMA remap space allocatorDave Hansen2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space. This space is very scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local. This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all architectures. Issues: o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet do. Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
