Christoph Lameter 89fa30242f [PATCH] NUMA: Add zone_to_nid function
There are many places where we need to determine the node of a zone.
Currently we use a difficult to read sequence of pointer dereferencing.
Put that into an inline function and use throughout VM.  Maybe we can find
a way to optimize the lookup in the future.

Christoph Lameter 0ff38490c8 [PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim
Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.  Slab reclaim is then used as a final
option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free
enough pages to allow a local allocation.

However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory
of a node may be used by slabs.  We have had a case where a machine with
46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab.  Zone reclaim was effective in
dealing with pagecache pages.  However, slab reclaim was only done during
global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems).

This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim.  Zone reclaim
occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation.  At that point we

1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache
   pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone.

2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages
   (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter)
   are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable).

The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node
specific.  So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach
(current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be
allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is
unsuccessful or we have reached the limit.  I hope we will have zone based
slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier.

The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5%

Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

Christoph Lameter 972d1a7b14 [PATCH] ZVC: Support NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE / NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE
Remove the atomic counter for slab_reclaim_pages and replace the counter
and NR_SLAB with two ZVC counter that account for unreclaimable and
reclaimable slab pages: NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE.

Change the check in vmscan.c to refer to to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE.  The
intend seems to be to check for slab pages that could be freed.

Dave McCracken 46a82b2d55 [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

Nick Piggin db37648cd6 [PATCH] mm: non syncing lock_page()
lock_page needs the caller to have a reference on the page->mapping inode
due to sync_page, ergo set_page_dirty_lock is obviously buggy according to
its comments.

Solve it by introducing a new lock_page_nosync which does not do a sync_page.

akpm: unpleasant solution to an unpleasant problem.  If it goes wrong it could
cause great slowdowns while the lock_page() caller waits for kblockd to
perform the unplug.  And if a filesystem has special sync_page() requirements
(none presently do), permanent hangs are possible.

otoh, set_page_dirty_lock() is usually (always?) called against userspace
pages.  They are always up-to-date, so there shouldn't be any pending read I/O
against these pages.

  ...

  /* access per-cpu object */
  ptr = percpu_ptr(obj, smp_processor_id());

  ...

Add a notifer chain to the out of memory killer.  If one of the registered
callbacks could release some memory, do not kill the process but return and
retry the allocation that forced the oom killer to run.

The purpose of the notifier is to add a safety net in the presence of
memory ballooners.  If the resource manager inflated the balloon to a size
where memory allocations can not be satisfied anymore, it is better to
deflate the balloon a bit instead of killing processes.

Christoph Lameter 19655d3487 [PATCH] linearly index zone->node_zonelists[]
I wonder why we need this bitmask indexing into zone->node_zonelists[]?

We always start with the highest zone and then include all lower zones
if we build zonelists.

Are there really cases where we need allocation from ZONE_DMA or
ZONE_HIGHMEM but not ZONE_NORMAL? It seems that the current implementation
of highest_zone() makes that already impossible.

If we go linear on the index then gfp_zone() == highest_zone() and a lot
of definitions fall by the wayside.

We can now revert back to the use of gfp_zone() in mempolicy.c ;-)

Christoph Lameter 2f6726e54a [PATCH] Apply type enum zone_type
After we have done this we can now do some typing cleanup.

The memory policy layer keeps a policy_zone that specifies
the zone that gets memory policies applied. This variable
can now be of type enum zone_type.

The check_highest_zone function and the build_zonelists funnctionm must
then also take a enum zone_type parameter.

Plus there are a number of loops over zones that also should use
zone_type.

We run into some troubles at some points with functions that need a
zone_type variable to become -1. Fix that up.

Christoph Lameter 4e4785bcf0 [PATCH] mempolicies: fix policy_zone check
There is a check in zonelist_policy that compares pieces of the bitmap
obtained from a gfp mask via GFP_ZONETYPES with a zone number in function
zonelist_policy().

The bitmap is an ORed mask of __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32 and __GFP_HIGHMEM.
The policy_zone is a zone number with the possible values of ZONE_DMA,
ZONE_DMA32, ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_NORMAL. These are two different domains
of values.

For some reason seemed to work before the zone reduction patchset (It
definitely works on SGI boxes since we just have one zone and the check
cannot fail).

With the zone reduction patchset this check definitely fails on systems
with two zones if the system actually has memory in both zones.

This is because ZONE_NORMAL is selected using no __GFP flag at
all and thus gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 0. ZONE_DMA is selected when __GFP_DMA
is set. __GFP_DMA is 0x01.  So gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 1.

policy_zone is set to ZONE_NORMAL (==1) if ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_DMA are
populated.

For ZONE_NORMAL gfp_zone(<no _GFP_DMA>) yields 0 which is <
policy_zone(ZONE_NORMAL) and so policy is not applied to regular memory
allocations!

Instead gfp_zone(__GFP_DMA) == 1 which results in policy being applied
to DMA allocations!

What we realy want in that place is to establish the highest allowable
zone for a given gfp_mask. If the highest zone is higher or equal to the
policy_zone then memory policies need to be applied. We have such
a highest_zone() function in page_alloc.c.

So move the highest_zone() function from mm/page_alloc.c into
include/linux/gfp.h.  On the way we simplify the function and use the new
zone_type that was also introduced with the zone reduction patchset plus we
also specify the right type for the gfp flags parameter.

keith mannthey 9102330005 [PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmem
Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system.  Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva).  The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(

My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory).  Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.

I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

Peter Zijlstra d08b3851da [PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages
Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.

The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
write-fault, make writeable and set dirty.  On page write-back clean all the
PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.

The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained.  Hence it is not
enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.

The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
 - its shared writeable
    (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
 - it is not a 'special' mapping
    (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
    mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
 - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection

Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
because they don't have a backing store anyway.

mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well.  However it overrides
the last condition.

Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
also wrprotect the PTE.

Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
under ->private_lock.  This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.  This is needed because
clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
locking order.

    modify data in page
    flush_kernel_dcache_page(page)
    kunmap(page)

instead, kmap/kunmap will manage the coherence and driver (and filesystem)
writers don't need to worry about how to flush between kmap and kunmap.

For most architectures, the page only needs to be flushed if it was
actually written to *and* there are user mappings of it, so the best
implementation looks to be: clear the page dirty pte bit in the kernel page
tables on kmap and on kunmap, check page->mappings for user maps, and then
the dirty bit, and only flush if it both has user mappings and is dirty.

Jan Blunck 632bbfeee4 [PATCH] trigger a syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly used
get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple
identifiers.  Otherwise the arch dependent implementations might break.

This patch enforces the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax
error if the variable is not a simple identifier.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 3212fe1594 [PATCH] cpu to node relationship fixup: map cpu to node
Assume that a cpu is *physically* offlined at boot time...

Because smpboot.c::smp_boot_cpu_map() canoot find cpu's sapicid,
numa.c::build_cpu_to_node_map() cannot build cpu<->node map for
offlined cpu.

For such cpus, cpu_to_node map should be fixed at cpu-hot-add.
This mapping should be done before cpu onlining.

This patch also handles cpu hotremove case.

Paul Moore 14a72f53fb [NetLabel]: correct improper handling of non-NetLabel peer contexts
Fix a problem where NetLabel would always set the value of 
sk_security_struct->peer_sid in selinux_netlbl_sock_graft() to the context of
the socket, causing problems when users would query the context of the
connection.  This patch fixes this so that the value in
sk_security_struct->peer_sid is only set when the connection is NetLabel based,
otherwise the value is untouched.
