* slob: reduce list scanningMatt Mackall2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The version of SLOB in -mm always scans its free list from the beginning, which results in small allocations and free segments clustering at the beginning of the list over time. This causes the average search to scan over a large stretch at the beginning on each allocation. By starting each page search where the last one left off, we evenly distribute the allocations and greatly shorten the average search. Without this patch, kernel compiles on a 1.5G machine take a large amount of system time for list scanning. With this patch, compiles are within a few seconds of performance of a SLAB kernel with no notable change in system time.

* nommu: vmalloc_32_user()/vm_insert_page() and symbol exports.Paul Mundt2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to survive an allmodconfig on a nommu platform results in many screen lengths of module unhappiness. Many of the mmap related things that binfmt_flat hooks in to are never exported despite being global, and there are also missing definitions for vmalloc_32_user() and vm_insert_page(). I've implemented vmalloc_32_user() trying to stick as close to the mm/vmalloc.c implementation as possible, though we don't have any need for VM_USERMAP, so groveling for the VMA can be skipped. vm_insert_page() has been stubbed for now in order to keep the build happy.

* mm: fix memory hotplug oops from ZONE_MOVABLE changes.Paul Mundt2007-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zone_movable_pfn is presently marked as __initdata and referenced from adjust_zone_range_for_zone_movable(), which in turn is referenced by zone_spanned_pages_in_node(). Both of these are __meminit annotated. When memory hotplug is enabled, this will oops on a hot-add, due to zone_movable_pfn having been freed. __meminitdata annotation gives the desired behaviour. This will only impact platforms that enable both memory hotplug and ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP.

* mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

* Fix up non-NUMA SLAB configuration for zero-sized allocationsLinus Torvalds2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I suspect Christoph tested his code only in the NUMA configuration, for the combination of SLAB+non-NUMA the zero-sized kmalloc's would not work. Of course, this would only trigger in configurations where those zero- sized allocations happen (not very common), so that may explain why it wasn't more widely noticed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work around a possible bug in the FRV compiler. What appears to be happening is that gcc resolves the __builtin_constant_p() in kmalloc() to true, but then fails to reduce the therefore constant conditions in the if-statements it guards to constant results. When compiling with -O2 or -Os, one single spurious error crops up in cpuup_callback() in mm/slab.c. This can be avoided by making the memsize variable const.

* mm: share PG_readahead and PG_reclaimFengguang Wu2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Share the same page flag bit for PG_readahead and PG_reclaim. One is used only on file reads, another is only for emergency writes. One is used mostly for fresh/young pages, another is for old pages. Combinations of possible interactions are: a) clear PG_reclaim => implicit clear of PG_readahead it will delay an asynchronous readahead into a synchronous one it actually does _good_ for readahead: the pages will be reclaimed soon, it's readahead thrashing! in this case, synchronous readahead makes more sense. b) clear PG_readahead => implicit clear of PG_reclaim one(and only one) page will not be reclaimed in time it can be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) in readahead first c) set PG_reclaim => implicit set of PG_readahead will confuse readahead and make it restart the size rampup process it's a trivial problem, and can mostly be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) first in readahead d) set PG_readahead => implicit set of PG_reclaim PG_readahead will never be set on already cached pages. PG_reclaim will always be cleared on dirtying a page. so not a problem. In summary, a) we get better behavior b,d) possible interactions can be avoided c) racy condition exists that might affect readahead, but the chance is _really_ low, and the hurt on readahead is trivial. Compound pages also use PG_reclaim, but for now they do not interact with reclaim/readahead code.

* readahead: on-demand readahead logicFengguang Wu2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a minimal readahead algorithm that aims to replace the current one. It is more flexible and reliable, while maintaining almost the same behavior and performance. Also it is full integrated with adaptive readahead. It is designed to be called on demand: - on a missing page, to do synchronous readahead - on a lookahead page, to do asynchronous readahead In this way it eliminated the awkward workarounds for cache hit/miss, readahead thrashing, retried read, and unaligned read. It also adopts the data structure introduced by adaptive readahead, parameterizes readahead pipelining with `lookahead_index', and reduces the current/ahead windows to one single window. HEURISTICS The logic deals with four cases: - sequential-next found a consistent readahead window, so push it forward - random standalone small read, so read as is - sequential-first create a new readahead window for a sequential/oversize request - lookahead-clueless hit a lookahead page not associated with the readahead window, so create a new readahead window and ramp it up In each case, three parameters are determined: - readahead index: where the next readahead begins - readahead size: how much to readahead - lookahead size: when to do the next readahead (for pipelining) BEHAVIORS The old behaviors are maximally preserved for trivial sequential/random reads. Notable changes are: - It no longer imposes strict sequential checks. It might help some interleaved cases, and clustered random reads. It does introduce risks of a random lookahead hit triggering an unexpected readahead. But in general it is more likely to do good than to do evil. - Interleaved reads are supported in a minimal way. Their chances of being detected and proper handled are still low. - Readahead thrashings are better handled. The current readahead leads to tiny average I/O sizes, because it never turn back for the thrashed pages. They have to be fault in by do_generic_mapping_read() one by one. Whereas the on-demand readahead will redo readahead for them. OVERHEADS The new code reduced the overheads of - excessively calling the readahead routine on small sized reads (the current readahead code insists on seeing all requests) - doing a lot of pointless page-cache lookups for small cached files (the current readahead only turns itself off after 256 cache hits, unfortunately most files are < 1MB, so never see that chance) That accounts for speedup of - 0.3% on 1-page sequential reads on sparse file - 1.2% on 1-page cache hot sequential reads - 3.2% on 256-page cache hot sequential reads - 1.3% on cache hot `tar /lib` However, it does introduce one extra page-cache lookup per cache miss, which impacts random reads slightly. That's 1% overheads for 1-page random reads on sparse file.

Some investigations show that - MySQL is accessing the db file non-uniformly: some parts are more hot than others - It is mostly doing 4-page random reads, and sometimes doing two reads in a row, the latter one triggers a 16-page readahead. - The on-demand readahead leaves many lookahead pages (flagged PG_readahead) there. Many of them will be hit, and trigger more readahead pages. Which might save more seeks. - Naturally, the readahead windows tend to lie in hot areas, and the lookahead pages in hot areas is more likely to be hit. - The more overall read density, the more possible gain. That also explains the adaptive readahead tricks for clustered random reads. readahead thrashing: 3 times better =================================== We boot kernel with "mem=128m single", and start a 100KB/s stream on every second, until reaching 200 streams. max throughput min avg I/O size 2.6.20: 5MB/s 16KB on-demand: 15MB/s 140KB Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn> Cc: Steven Pratt <slpratt@austin.ibm.com> Cc: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* readahead: add look-ahead support to __do_page_cache_readahead()Fengguang Wu2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add look-ahead support to __do_page_cache_readahead(). It works by - mark the Nth backwards page with PG_readahead, (which instructs the page's first reader to invoke readahead) - and only do the marking for newly allocated pages. (to prevent blindly doing readahead on already cached pages) Look-ahead is a technique to achieve I/O pipelining: While the application is working through a chunk of cached pages, the kernel reads-ahead the next chunk of pages _before_ time of need. It effectively hides low level I/O latencies to high level applications.

* only allow nonlinear vmas for ram backed filesystemsMiklos Szeredi2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | page_mkclean() doesn't re-protect ptes for non-linear mappings, so a later re-dirty through such a mapping will not generate a fault, PG_dirty will not reflect the dirty state and the dirty count will be skewed. This implies that msync() is also currently broken for nonlinear mappings. The easiest solution is to emulate remap_file_pages on non-linear mappings with simple mmap() for non ram-backed filesystems. Applications continue to work (albeit slower), as long as the number of remappings remain below the maximum vma count. However all currently known real uses of non-linear mappings are for ram backed filesystems, which this patch doesn't affect.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change ->fault prototype. We now return an int, which contains VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte. FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to arch code). This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were going to do that anyway. struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use without really good reason.

* mm: merge populate and nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)Nick Piggin2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings. ->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff). But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation). Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing to be doing. This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and ->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if everyone switches over. The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two. After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway. NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no users have hit mainline yet.

* mm: fix fault vs invalidate race for linear mappingsNick Piggin2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page. Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page. The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page, before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache, do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache. The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation. This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the file's i_size, and its truncate_count. Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated truncate_count is actually visible). Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same place will see a different page. Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large performance hit. Scalability is not an issue. This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while holding the lock). This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

* knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM sizeMeelap Shah2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any open when it was possible to. Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache approaches the size of the server's total memory. Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM. My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about 1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* fs: introduce some page/buffer invariantsNick Piggin2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has buffers. If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate). The exception to this rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate. A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate. If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data loss problem. Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we should fix those up, and enforce this ordering. Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of invalidate. This will prevent a page from being able to go !uptodate while we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway.
