[PATCH] sparsemem memory model Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually become a complete replacement. A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA and DISCONTIG are often confused. Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems, where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory. Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[] to be chopped up. In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the number of used page->flags. One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is used. This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM often have to compile out the same areas of code.

Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline. This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing involving memory is required. The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become: #define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn)) #define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap) By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1 this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit platforms that support 36 address bits. However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM. FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a constant to which we can simply add the offset. This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc. [apw@shadowen.org: config cleanups, resplit code etc] [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix sparsemem_vmemmap init] [apw@shadowen.org: vmemmap: remove excess debugging] [apw@shadowen.org: simplify initialisation code and reduce duplication] [apw@shadowen.org: pull out the vmemmap code into its own file] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: "David S.

This also brings performance improvements for most architecture making sparsmem vmemmap the more desirable memory model. The ultimate aim of this work is to expand sparsemem support to encompass all the features of the other memory models. This could allow us to drop support for and remove the other models in the longer term. Below are some comparitive kernbench numbers for various architectures, comparing default memory model against SPARSEMEM VMEMMAP.

[PATCH] sparsemem memory model Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually become a complete replacement. A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA and DISCONTIG are often confused. Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be contiguous.

[PATCH] sparsemem hotplug base Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime. This allows sparse mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation. This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory. The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer. It stores something that is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer. There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all, the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe. Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we can get the mem_map for it.

Fix corruption of memmap on IA64 SPARSEMEM when mem_section is not a power of 2 There are problems in the use of SPARSEMEM and pageblock flags that causes problems on ia64. The first part of the problem is that units are incorrect in SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS computation. This results in a map_section's section_mem_map being treated as part of a bitmap which isn't good. This was evident with an invalid virtual address when mem_init attempted to free bootmem pages while relinquishing control from the bootmem allocator. The second part of the problem occurs because the pageblock flags bitmap is be located with the mem_section. The SECTIONS_PER_ROOT computation using sizeof (mem_section) may not be a power of 2 depending on the size of the bitmap. This renders masks and other such things not power of 2 base. This issue was seen with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME on ia64. This patch moves the bitmap outside of mem_section and uses a pointer instead in the mem_section. The bitmaps are allocated when the section is being initialised. Note that sparse_early_usemap_alloc() does not use alloc_remap() like sparse_early_mem_map_alloc(). The allocation required for the bitmap on x86, the only architecture that uses alloc_remap is typically smaller than a cache line. alloc_remap() pads out allocations to the cache size which would be a needless waste. Credit to Bob Picco for identifying the original problem and effecting a fix for the SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS calculation.

[PATCH] sparsemem hotplug base Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime. This allows sparse mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation. This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory. The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer. It stores something that is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer. There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all, the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe. Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we can get the mem_map for it.

Fix corruption of memmap on IA64 SPARSEMEM when mem_section is not a power of 2 There are problems in the use of SPARSEMEM and pageblock flags that causes problems on ia64. The first part of the problem is that units are incorrect in SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS computation. This results in a map_section's section_mem_map being treated as part of a bitmap which isn't good. This was evident with an invalid virtual address when mem_init attempted to free bootmem pages while relinquishing control from the bootmem allocator. The second part of the problem occurs because the pageblock flags bitmap is be located with the mem_section. The SECTIONS_PER_ROOT computation using sizeof (mem_section) may not be a power of 2 depending on the size of the bitmap. This renders masks and other such things not power of 2 base. This issue was seen with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME on ia64. This patch moves the bitmap outside of mem_section and uses a pointer instead in the mem_section. The bitmaps are allocated when the section is being initialised. Note that sparse_early_usemap_alloc() does not use alloc_remap() like sparse_early_mem_map_alloc(). The allocation required for the bitmap on x86, the only architecture that uses alloc_remap is typically smaller than a cache line. alloc_remap() pads out allocations to the cache size which would be a needless waste.

Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline. This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing involving memory is required. The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become: #define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn)) #define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap) By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1 this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit platforms that support 36 address bits. However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM. FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a constant to which we can simply add the offset. This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc. [apw@shadowen.org: config cleanups, resplit code etc] [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix sparsemem_vmemmap init] [apw@shadowen.org: vmemmap: remove excess debugging] [apw@shadowen.org: simplify initialisation code and reduce duplication] [apw@shadowen.org: pull out the vmemmap code into its own file] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: "David S.

Fix corruption of memmap on IA64 SPARSEMEM when mem_section is not a power of 2 There are problems in the use of SPARSEMEM and pageblock flags that causes problems on ia64. The first part of the problem is that units are incorrect in SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS computation. This results in a map_section's section_mem_map being treated as part of a bitmap which isn't good. This was evident with an invalid virtual address when mem_init attempted to free bootmem pages while relinquishing control from the bootmem allocator. The second part of the problem occurs because the pageblock flags bitmap is be located with the mem_section. The SECTIONS_PER_ROOT computation using sizeof (mem_section) may not be a power of 2 depending on the size of the bitmap. This renders masks and other such things not power of 2 base. This issue was seen with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME on ia64. This patch moves the bitmap outside of mem_section and uses a pointer instead in the mem_section. The bitmaps are allocated when the section is being initialised. Note that sparse_early_usemap_alloc() does not use alloc_remap() like sparse_early_mem_map_alloc(). The allocation required for the bitmap on x86, the only architecture that uses alloc_remap is typically smaller than a cache line. alloc_remap() pads out allocations to the cache size which would be a needless waste.

It stores something that is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer. There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all, the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe. Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we can get the mem_map for it.

Fix corruption of memmap on IA64 SPARSEMEM when mem_section is not a power of 2 There are problems in the use of SPARSEMEM and pageblock flags that causes problems on ia64. The first part of the problem is that units are incorrect in SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS computation. This results in a map_section's section_mem_map being treated as part of a bitmap which isn't good. This was evident with an invalid virtual address when mem_init attempted to free bootmem pages while relinquishing control from the bootmem allocator. The second part of the problem occurs because the pageblock flags bitmap is be located with the mem_section. The SECTIONS_PER_ROOT computation using sizeof (mem_section) may not be a power of 2 depending on the size of the bitmap. This renders masks and other such things not power of 2 base. This issue was seen with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME on ia64. This patch moves the bitmap outside of mem_section and uses a pointer instead in the mem_section. The bitmaps are allocated when the section is being initialised. Note that sparse_early_usemap_alloc() does not use alloc_remap() like sparse_early_mem_map_alloc(). The allocation required for the bitmap on x86, the only architecture that uses alloc_remap is typically smaller than a cache line. alloc_remap() pads out allocations to the cache size which would be a needless waste. Credit to Bob Picco for identifying the original problem and effecting a fix for the SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS calculation. Credit to Andy Whitcroft for devising the best way of allocating the bitmaps only when required for the section.
