* cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's memsMiao Xie2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

| | | | * slub: Use alloc_pages_exact_node() for page allocationMinchan Kim2010-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The alloc_slab_page() in SLUB uses alloc_pages() if node is '-1'. This means that node validity check in alloc_pages_node is unnecessary and we can use alloc_pages_exact_node() to avoid comparison and branch as commit 6484eb3e2a81807722 ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") did for the page allocator.

The cacheline that holds the per cpu array pointer now also holds these values. We can cut down the struct kmem_cache_cpu size to almost half. The get_freepointer() and set_freepointer() functions that used to be only intended for the slow path now are also useful for the hot path since access to the size field does not require accessing an additional cacheline anymore. This results in consistent use of functions for setting the freepointer of objects throughout SLUB. Also we initialize all possible kmem_cache_cpu structures when a slab is created. No need to initialize them when a processor or node comes online. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using per cpu allocations removes the needs for the per cpu arrays in the kmem_cache struct. These could get quite big if we have to support systems with thousands of cpus. The use of this_cpu_xx operations results in: 1. The size of kmem_cache for SMP configuration shrinks since we will only need 1 pointer instead of NR_CPUS. The same pointer can be used by all processors. Reduces cache footprint of the allocator. 2. We can dynamically size kmem_cache according to the actual nodes in the system meaning less memory overhead for configurations that may potentially support up to 1k NUMA nodes / 4k cpus. 3. We can remove the diddle widdle with allocating and releasing of kmem_cache_cpu structures when bringing up and shutting down cpus. The cpu alloc logic will do it all for us. Removes some portions of the cpu hotplug functionality. 4. Fastpath performance increases since per cpu pointer lookups and address calculations are avoided.

Otherwise, sysfs_slab_add returns error then free kmem_cache s, thus memory of s->kobj is leaked.

If the minalign is 256 bytes, patching the size_index table should not result in a buffer overrun. The calculation "(i - 1) / 8" used to access size_index[] is moved to a separate function as suggested by Christoph Lameter.

| | * | | | slub: use size and objsize orders to disable debug flagsDavid Rientjes2009-07-28

Instead of defining the maximum metadata size increase in a preprocessor macro, this approach uses the cache's ->size and ->objsize members to determine if the min order increased due to debugging options. If so, the flags specified in the more appropriately named DEBUG_METADATA_FLAGS are masked off. This approach was suggested by Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org>.

| | * | | | slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabsDavid Rientjes2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and SLAB_STORE_USER. Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed to allocate a single object be greater when using these options. The most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size. Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or under heavy fragmentation. This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders: slub_debug=O When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a order-1 minimum slab order.
