* tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inodeHugh Dickins2008-02-051-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap entry, and its handling of the entry found. shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too. Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match. Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.

* swapoff: scan ptes preemptiblyHugh Dickins2008-02-051-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provided that CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set, unuse_pte_range can reduce latency in swapoff by scanning the page table preemptibly: so long as unuse_pte is careful to recheck that entry under pte lock. (To tell the truth, this patch was not inspired by any cries for lower latency here: rather, this restructuring permits a future memory controller patch to allocate with GFP_KERNEL in unuse_pte, where before it could not. But it would be wrong to tuck this change away inside a memcgroup patch.)

* swapin: fix valid_swaphandles defectHugh Dickins2008-02-051-16/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | valid_swaphandles is supposed to do a quick pass over the swap map entries neigbouring the entry which swapin_readahead is targetting, to determine for it a range worth reading all together. But since it always starts its search from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around the target entry. Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called "si" not "swapdev". And at the end, if only the target page should be read, return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated call to read_swap_cache_async.

* swapin needs gfp_mask for loop on tmpfsHugh Dickins2008-02-051-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout. In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has become easy to hang on one machine. Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache). When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in, read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang. So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page.

* [PATCH] swsusp: use partition device and offset to identify swap areasRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-071-12/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap areas: (1) swap files need not be contiguous, (2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition that holds it. From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem, because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has to be taken into consideration. In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the help of appropriate filesystem driver. Unfortunately, however, it requires the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk. For this reason we need some other means by which swap areas can be identified. For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap header is located. The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way. It changes swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes. We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses to apge. Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and removed by local functions in migrate.c From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page. This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list. Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork: copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.) This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the tail instead of the head. (There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries, because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap, because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless method has no refcounting of its entries.) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being properly write-protected on fork. The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write", and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30. Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp. The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.  Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which sectors of the resume partition are available to them. The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp. The interface documentation is included in the patch. The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been requested. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

* [PATCH] mm: pte_offset_map_lock loopsHugh Dickins2005-10-301-11/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert those common loops using page_table_lock on the outside and pte_offset_map within to use just pte_offset_map_lock within instead. These all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a page table be whipped away from beneath them. But whereas pte_alloc loops tested with the "atomic" pmd_present, these loops are testing with pmd_none, which on i386 PAE tests both lower and upper halves. That's now unsafe, so add a cast into pmd_none to test only the vital lower half: we lose a little sensitivity to a corrupt middle directory, but not enough to worry about. It appears that i386 and UML were the only architectures vulnerable in this way, and pgd and pud no problem.

* [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rssHugh Dickins2005-10-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

* [PATCH] mm: anon is already wrprotectedHugh Dickins2005-10-301-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | do_anonymous_page's pte_wrprotect causes some confusion: in such a case, vm_page_prot must already be forcing COW, so must omit write permission, and so the pte_wrprotect is redundant.

* [PATCH] Fix bd_claim() error code.Rob Landley2005-09-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: In some circumstances, bd_claim() is returning the wrong error code. If we try to swapon an unused block device that isn't swap formatted, we get -EINVAL. But if that same block device is already mounted, we instead get -EBUSY, even though it still isn't a valid swap device. This issue came up on the busybox list trying to get the error message from "swapon -a" right. If a swap device is already enabled, we get -EBUSY, and we shouldn't report this as an error. But we can't distinguish the two -EBUSY conditions, which are very different errors. In the code, bd_claim() returns either 0 or -EBUSY, but in this case busy means "somebody other than sys_swapon has already claimed this", and _that_ means this block device can't be a valid swap device. So return -EINVAL there. Signed-off-by: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+deviceHugh Dickins2005-09-051-72/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all, is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split. The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series). valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere overhead in the common case of a single swap device. So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock (generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro). If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as to help the case of the single swap device too.

* [PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lockHugh Dickins2005-09-051-7/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map. While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign. Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

* [PATCH] swap: swap extent list is orderedHugh Dickins2005-09-051-18/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several comments that swap's extent_list.prev points to the lowest extent: that's not so, it's extent_list.next which points to it, as you'd expect. And a couple of loops in add_swap_extent which go all the way through the list, when they should just add to the other end. Fix those up, and let map_swap_page search the list forwards: profiles shows it to be twice as quick that way - because prefetch works better on how the structs are typically kmalloc'ed? or because usually more is written to than read from swap, and swap is allocated ascendingly?
