* kmemleak: Do not report alloc_bootmem blocks as leaksCatalin Marinas2009-08-271-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | This patch sets the min_count for alloc_bootmem objects to 0 so that they are never reported as leaks. This is because many of these blocks are only referred via the physical address which is not looked up by kmemleak.

* kmemleak: Add callbacks to the bootmem allocatorCatalin Marinas2009-07-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds kmemleak_alloc/free callbacks to the bootmem allocator. This would allow scanning of such blocks and help avoiding a whole class of false positives and more kmemleak annotations.

* bootmem, x86: further fixes for arch-specific bootmem wrappingTejun Heo2009-03-011-15/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix Commit c132937556f56ee4b831ef4b23f1846e05fde102 tried to clean up bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct. Before the commit, the followings were broken. * Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch preference. * reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is not preference here. The region specified MUST fall into the specified region; otherwise, it will panic. After the commit, * If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback to whatever is available. Instead, it simply failed allocation. There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and still keep things simple for archs. Plus, all that arch wants is a way to prefer certain node over another. This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and add alloc_bootmem_core() instead. If necessary, arch can define bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all allocation information and returns the preferred node. bootmem generic code will always try the preferred node first and then fallback to other nodes as usual.

* bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrappingTejun Heo2009-02-241-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be able to be used interchangeably. This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also, HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de>

* bootmem: fix aligning of node-relative indexes and offsetsJohannes Weiner2008-08-211-6/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative offsets. Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation on an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of an unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not garuanteed to be aligned itself. This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that the absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the two satisfies the requested alignment. Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by these helpers.

* bootmem allocator: alloc_bootmem_core(): page-align the end offsetMikulas Patocka2008-08-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the minimal sequence that jams the allocator: void *p, *q, *r; p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE); q = alloc_bootmem(64); free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE); p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE); r = alloc_bootmem(64); after this sequence (assuming that the allocator was empty or page-aligned before), pointer "q" will be equal to pointer "r". What's hapenning inside the allocator: p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE); in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains bits 10000... q = alloc_bootmem(64); in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 11000... free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE); in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 01000... p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE); in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains 11000... r = alloc_bootmem(64); and now: it finds bit "2", as a place where to allocate (sidx) it hits the condition if (bdata->last_end_off && PFN_DOWN(bdata->last_end_off) + 1 == sidx)) start_off = ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align); -you can see that the condition is true, so it assigns start_off = ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align); (that is PAGE_SIZE) and allocates over already allocated block. With the patch it tries to continue at the end of previous allocation only if the previous allocation ended in the middle of the page.

* bootmem: respect goal more likelyJohannes Weiner2008-07-241-38/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Make all other allocation functions benefit from this new helper.

* bootmem: factor out the marking of a PFN rangeJohannes Weiner2008-07-241-119/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce new helpers that mark a range that resides completely on a node or node-agnostic ranges that might also span node boundaries. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a clean rewrite that keeps the semantics. 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 node.

* memory hotplug: register section/node id to freeYasunori Goto2008-04-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by bootmem. ex) memmap, etc. To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free memmaps. Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be solved. 1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other section by bootmem, it should/can be free. 2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will be removed physically soon. 3) When removing section has other section's memmap, kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed before it for user. (Not implemented yet) 4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()). Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch. (Not implemented yet.) 5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this will be able to be solved too by this. (Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.) Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags, and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of bootmem doesn't use them too. This patch: This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the nodes other than node 0 use bdata->last_success for fast search too. We need to use __alloc_bootmem_core() for vmemmap allocation for other nodes when numa and sparsemem/vmemmap are enabled. Also, make fail_block path increase i with incr only after ALIGN to avoid extra increase when size is larger than align.

* mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_coreYinghai Lu2008-03-251-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be freed wrongly. For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some range afterwards. With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes. This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx and eidx according the ram range that the node has. And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem directly.

* Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle2008-02-071-6/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

* [PATCH] enable booting a NUMA system where some nodes have no memoryChristian Krafft2006-12-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When booting a NUMA system with nodes that have no memory (eg by limiting memory), bootmem_alloc_core tried to find pages in an uninitialized bootmem_map. This caused a null pointer access. This fix adds a check, so that NULL is returned. That will enable the caller (bootmem_alloc_nopanic) to alloc memory on other without a panic.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Handle empty PXMs that only contain hotplug memoryAndi Kleen2006-04-091-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there. This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so far empty node. Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes. And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node. To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that does what its name implies. TBD should try to use nearby nodes here. Currently we just use any. It's hard to do it better because bootmem doesn't have proper fallback lists yet. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Only nodes against which init_bootmem() is called are linked to the list. (i386 allocates bootmem only from one node(0) not from all online nodes.) A summary: 1. for_each_online_pgdat() traverses all *online* nodes. 2. alloc_bootmem() allocates memory only from initialized-for-bootmem nodes.
