Hugh adds: in fact, none of find_vma_prepare's callers use those values
when a vma is found to be already covering addr, it's either an error or
an occasion to munmap and repeat. Okay, let's quieten the compiler (but I
would prefer it if pprev, rb_link and rb_parent were meaningful in that
case, rather than whatever's in them from descending the tree).

This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial
value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more
pages we keep on the partial list.
I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example
script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking
subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al.
To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository:
git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git
and then run the following command n times on your machine:
time ./fio examples/netio
The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows:
[ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ]
real time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17
SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72
SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20
sys time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28
SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28
SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29
user time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29
SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67
SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32
As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level
as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this
change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close
to the size of a page.

This testcase results in an mlock() failure with errno 14 that is EFAULT,
but it has nowhere been specified that mlock() will return EFAULT. When I
tested the same on older kernels like 2.6.18, I got the correct result i.e
errno 12 (ENOMEM).
I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in
do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure.
SUSv3 requires the following behavior frmo mlock(2).
[ENOMEM]
Some or all of the address range specified by the addr and
len arguments does not correspond to valid mapped pages
in the address space of the process.
[EAGAIN]
Some or all of the memory identified by the operation could not
be locked when the call was made.
This rule isn't so nice and slighly strange. but many people think
POSIX/SUS compliance is important.

Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could
return I/O errors on read. This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor()
returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation.
However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably
NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the
cache.
If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then
splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can
return ENODATA.
The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or
disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice. But
returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no
error (data becoming stale is not an error).
The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with
madvise(MADV_REMOVE).
Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and
invalidation.

For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.
The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.

The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry
even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was
pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a
kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the
next page was unallocated.
The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there
is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.
Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.
I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.
So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.
I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.
This benchmark do:
1: mount and open a test file.
2: create a 512MB file.
3: close a file and umount.
4: mount and again open a test file.
5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned
by IO size(1024bytes).
6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.
The result was:
2.6.26
330 sec
2.6.26-patched
226 sec
Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB
On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result
showed this.

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.
Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).
The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.
To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.
This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).
At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
Dependencies:
1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.
2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.
The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;
if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}
mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows
mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that
no mmu operation is in progress on the mm.
This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations
that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate,
try_to_unmap, and all page faults.
The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling
mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem
until mm_drop_all_locks() returns.
mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that
could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma
layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also
needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing
vmas.
A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it
would deadlock.
mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that
may have to take thousand of locks.
mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals.
When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is
notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where
the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end
is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And
we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic
inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of
needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees
the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page
that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further
mmu_notifier notification.

SuSE's insserve initscript ordering program hits kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:814
on 2.6.26. It's using posix_fadvise on directories, and the shmem_readpage
method added in 2.6.23 is letting POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED allocate useless pages
to a tmpfs directory, incrementing i_blocks count but never decrementing it.
Fix this by assigning shmem_aops (pointing to readpage and writepage and
set_page_dirty) only when it's needed, on a regular file or a long symlink.
Many thanks to Kel for outstanding bugreport and steps to reproduce it.

Combine page_cache_get_speculative with lockless radix tree lookups to
introduce lockless page cache lookups (ie. no mapping->tree_lock on the
read-side).
The only atomicity changes this introduces is that the gang pagecache
lookup functions now behave as if they are implemented with multiple
find_get_page calls, rather than operating on a snapshot of the pages. In
practice, this atomicity guarantee is not used anyway, and it is to
replace individual lookups, so these semantics are natural.

If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will
pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to
see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or
otherwise pinning a reference to the page.
This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the
whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something
else, we must be able to free it with a put_page).
Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the
page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need
an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page
in either case.
This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie.
adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make
it work).
Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting
page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to
hold off speculative getters.

Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86.
Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any
page table locks or even mmap_sem. Page table existence is guaranteed by
turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking
up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the
constraints of the TLB shootdown design). Basically we can do this
lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable
walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes.
This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use
it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8
core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5
"To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM
x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at
2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel. Comparing
runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance
benefit of ~9.8%. Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from
__up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention
for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%. Monitoring the
/proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for
fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was
zero."
(fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a
counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked).
The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each
issuing direct-IO. Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads
contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks.
I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I
think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be
that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases.
In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain.
The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte
with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to
get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work.
However this should not be the common case in most performance critical
code.

memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage.
This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for

Because of remove refcnt patch, it's very rare case to that
mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called against a page which is accounted.
mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called when.
1. a page is added into file cache.
2. an anon page is _newly_ mapped.
A racy case is that a newly-swapped-in anonymous page is referred from
prural threads in do_swap_page() at the same time.
(a page is not Locked when mem_cgroup_charge() is called from do_swap_page.)
Another case is shmem. It charges its page before calling add_to_page_cache().
Then, mem_cgroup_charge_cache() is called twice. This case is handled in
mem_cgroup_cache_charge(). But this check may be too hacky...

Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from
mem_cgroup. In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for

from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a
different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.)
Before:
- page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page.
After:
- a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup.
Pros:
- We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration.
Cons:
- new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common().
- mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong.
This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton
under memory resource controller.
new refcnt sequence is following.
a mapped page:
prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page
try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone.
move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache.
remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one.
end_migration() ..... -1 to New page.
page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's
ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to
pre-process the string when converting it to a number.
This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a
write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate
copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path,
since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a
swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps
positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed.
It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's
not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general
case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from
-1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression,
since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the
positive specified priorities 0 to 32767.
One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff
fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now
reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority.
In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is
visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set
before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

We'd like to support CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE on s390, which depends on
CONFIG_MIGRATION. So far, CONFIG_MIGRATION is only available with NUMA
support.
This patch makes CONFIG_MIGRATION selectable for architectures that define
ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. When MIGRATION is enabled w/o NUMA, the
kernel won't compile because migrate_vmas() does not know about
vm_ops->migrate() and vma_migratable() does not know about policy_zone.
To fix this, those two functions can be restricted to '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA'
because they are not being used w/o NUMA. vma_migratable() is moved over
from migrate.h to mempolicy.h.

Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size. A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation. This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent. In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;
o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type
On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable. Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.
Sample output of the sysfs files:
./memory/memory0/removable: 0

Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.
Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are
allocated on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed
until removing other sections. This dependency is not desirable for
memory removing.
Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the
last section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and
section B has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to
dependency each other.
To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat
as much as possible. If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this
section will be able to be removed finally.

The old node-agnostic code tried allocating on all nodes starting from the
one with the lowest range. alloc_bootmem_core retried without the goal if
it could not satisfy it and so the goal was only respected at all when it
happened to be on the first (lowest page numbers) node (or theoretically
if allocations failed on all nodes before to the one holding the goal).
Introduce a non-panicking helper that starts allocating from the node
holding the goal and falls back only after all thes tries failed, thus
moving the goal fallback code out of alloc_bootmem_core.

The free/reserve API functions will then directly use these helpers.
Note that the free/reserve semantics become more strict: while the prior
code took basically arbitrary range arguments and marked the PFNs that
happen to fall into that range, the new code requires node-specific ranges
to be completely on the node. The node-agnostic requests might span node
boundaries as long as the nodes are contiguous.
Passing ranges that do not satisfy these criteria is a bug.

bdata->last_pos has been dropped.
bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index
relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start
at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather
than its beginning.
bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that
it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the

whether there are any unreserved pages remaining. If not, the allocation
fails without even attempting to get a page. In order to determine whether to
apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma
is MAP_PRIVATE and is the owner. This incorrectly triggers the remaining
reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the
final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping.
In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the
process is not the original mapper. Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with
vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and
update the caller.

Allow alloc_bootmem_huge_page() to be overridden by architectures that
can't always use bootmem. This requires huge_boot_pages to be available
for use by this function.
This is required for powerpc 16G pages, which have to be reserved prior to
boot-time. The location of these pages are indicated in the device tree.

Allow configurations with the default huge page size which is different to
the traditional HPAGE_SIZE size. The default huge page size is the one
represented in the legacy /proc ABIs, SHM, and which is defaulted to when
mounting hugetlbfs filesystems.
This is implemented with a new kernel option default_hugepagesz=, which
defaults to HPAGE_SIZE if not specified.

Make some infrastructure changes to allow boot-time allocation of
different hugepage page sizes.
- move all basic hstate initialisation into hugetlb_add_hstate
- create a new function hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages() to do the
actual initial page allocations. Call this function early in
order to allocate giant pages from bootmem.
- Check for multiple hugepages= parameters

This is needed on x86-64 to handle GB pages in hugetlbfs, because it is
not practical to enlarge MAX_ORDER to 1GB.
Instead the 1GB pages are only allocated at boot using the bootmem
allocator using the hugepages=... option.
These 1G bootmem pages are never freed. In theory it would be possible to
implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way
street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to
currently.
The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture. It is not very
big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it.
Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory
allocated for gb pages in "Total". This is a little confusing for the
user.
