* [PATCH] spanned_pages is not updated at a case of memory hot-addYasunori Goto2006-06-011-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> If hot-added memory's address is smaller than old area, spanned_pages will not be updated. It must be fixed. example) Old zone_start_pfn = 0x60000, and spanned_pages = 0x10000 Added new memory's start_pfn = 0x50000, and end_pfn = 0x60000 new spanned_pages will be still 0x10000 by old code. (It should be updated to 0x20000.) Because old_zone_end_pfn will be 0x70000, and end_pfn smaller than it. So, spanned_pages will not be updated. In current code, spanned_pages is updated only when end_pfn is updated. But, it should be updated by subtraction between bigger end_pfn and new zone_start_pfn.

* [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundaryBob Picco2006-05-211-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.

* [PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fixPaul Jackson2006-05-211-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while interrupts disabled. The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed in a parent cpuset. But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags). The rule was intended to be: Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep. This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap daemons were awoken. The bogus change can be seen at: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with __GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...", when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the callback_sem cpuset semaphore. We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in March 2006. Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out, and a tip of the hat to Nick Piggin who warned me of this back in Nov 2005, before I was ready to listen.

* [PATCH] SPARSEMEM incorrectly calculates section numberMike Kravetz2006-05-211-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A bad calculation/loop in __section_nr() could result in incorrect section information being put into sysfs memory entries. This primarily impacts memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new memory. Fix suggested by Dave Hansen. Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch. It actually occurs in the function's return statement: return (root_nr * SECTIONS_PER_ROOT) + (ms - root); In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

* [PATCH] slab: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() on NUMARoland Dreier2006-05-161-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With CONFIG_NUMA set, kmem_cache_destroy() may fail and say "Can't free all objects." The problem is caused by sequences such as the following (suppose we are on a NUMA machine with two nodes, 0 and 1): * Allocate an object from cache on node 0. * Free the object on node 1. The object is put into node 1's alien array_cache for node 0. * Call kmem_cache_destroy(), which ultimately ends up in __cache_shrink(). * __cache_shrink() does drain_cpu_caches(), which loops through all nodes. For each node it drains the shared array_cache and then handles the alien array_cache for the other node. However this means that node 0's shared array_cache will be drained, and then node 1 will move the contents of its alien[0] array_cache into that same shared array_cache. node 0's shared array_cache is never looked at again, so the objects left there will appear to be in use when __cache_shrink() calls __node_shrink() for node 0. So __node_shrink() will return 1 and kmem_cache_destroy() will fail. This patch fixes this by having drain_cpu_caches() do drain_alien_cache() on every node before it does drain_array() on the nodes' shared array_caches. The problem was originally reported by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on an older patch from Mike Kravetz <kravetz@us.ibm.com> We need to have a mem_map for high addresses in order to make fops->no_page work on spufs mem and register files. So far, we have used the memory_present() function during early bootup, but that did not work when CONFIG_NUMA was enabled. We now use the __add_pages() function to add the mem_map when loading the spufs module, which is a lot nicer.

* [PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pagesChristoph Lameter2006-05-021-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out the page. However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the ptes pointing to the page. We need to first unmap the ptes before checking for PageDirty(). If unmap is successful then the page count of the page will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly. This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17. Without this fix we may migrate dirty pages for filesystems without migration functions. Filesystems may keep pointers to dirty pages. Migration of dirty pages can result in the filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages. Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the references to a page and moving the mapping. Therefore try_to_unmap will be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful. However, it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed. The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code so that this is no longer necessary.

* [PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmemLee Schermerhorn2006-04-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once. In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a migratepage address space op. Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to default processing. In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages. Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so migrate_pages() will try to page it out. However, because the page count is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because is_page_cache_freeable() returns false. This will abort all subsequent migrations. This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to avoid taking the default path. We use the "migrate_page()" function because it knows how to migrate dirty pages. This allows shared memory segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested. I think this is safe. If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in __vm_enough_memory(). - why the kernel needed patching When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation. If the Linux runs with page reservation features like /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think the oom kill occurs easily. - the overall design approach in the patch When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages, the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages. This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

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.

The patch wires up the syscall for x86. The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later. Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c. A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz. The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common." Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation details down to that level. Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing. Same with fsync() and fdatasync()). Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such requests fail...

* [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi2006-03-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit. This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.
