The VM_RESERVED flag was killed off in commit 314e51b9 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter"), and replaced by the proper semantic flags (eg "don't core-dump" etc). But there was a new use of VM_RESERVED that got missed by the merge. Fix the remaining use of VM_RESERVED in the vfio_pci driver, replacing the VM_RESERVED flag with VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

This change limits the PF/VF driver to 9.5K max jumbo frame size in order prevent a possible Tx hang in the adapter when sending frames between pools. All of the parts in ixgbe support a maximum frame of 15.5K for standard traffic, however with SR-IOV or DCB enabled they should be limiting the MTU size to 9.5K. Instead of adding extra checks which would have to change the MTU when we go into or out of these modes it is preferred to just use a standard 9.5K MTU limit for all modes so that this extra overhead can be avoided.

The driver was not setting the number of real Tx queues in the net_device structure. This caused some serious issues such as Tx hangs and extremely poor performance with some usages of the driver. The issue is best observed by running: iperf -c <host> -P <n> Where n is greater than one. The greater the value of n the more likely the problem is to show up. Signed-off-by:

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory. Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss assembler page table walkers aware of the layout. set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping. We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added in the future. With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various architectures. One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate pending flushes into a per-cpu array. Then the flush_tlb_range() et al. calls process the pending TLB flushes. In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are essentially NOPs. The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is: ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte, tlb->fullmm); tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr); With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed. Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using: orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd); page = pmd_page(orig_pmd); tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr); And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described above.

The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer. This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently. Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third argument rather than a PTE pointer.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of a full page. This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB. What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the mm struct. This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port does. There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change: 1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the PMD populate interfaces. 2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct just gets copied from the parent on fork.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page support. Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB. The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page. We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures that this requirement is always met. There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change. Signed-off-by: -

Narrowing the scope of the page size configurations will make the transparent hugepage changes much simpler. In the end what we really want to do is have the kernel support multiple huge page sizes and use whatever is appropriate as the context dictactes. Signed-off-by:

memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning When our x86 box calls __remove_pages(), release_mem_region() shows many warnings. And x86 box cannot unregister iomem_resource. "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" release_mem_region() has been changed to be called in each PAGES_PER_SECTION by commit de7f0cba ("memory hotplug: release memory regions in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks"). Because powerpc registers iomem_resource in each PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk. But when I hot add memory on x86 box, iomem_resource is register in each _CRS not PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk. So x86 box unregisters iomem_resource. The patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock() range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and moving it to the unevictable lru. This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a range again. Currently: #define MAP_SIZE (4 << 30) /* 4GB */ void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0); mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); $ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo Inactive(anon): 6304 kB Unevictable: 4213924 kB munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4186252 kB Unevictable: 19652 kB mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4198556 kB Unevictable: 21684 kB Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the 4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment. If posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at all on the second mlock(). The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the page is added to the unevictable list. With this patch: mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4056 kB Unevictable: 4213940 kB munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4198268 kB Unevictable: 19636 kB mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE); Inactive(anon): 4008 kB Unevictable: 4213940 kB Signed-off-by:

remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device. But even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it. So the patch updates the memory block's state and sends notification to userspace. Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block. If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail. So we should try to offline one memory block at a time. Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state. So there is no need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory(). Signed-off-by:

remove_memory() is called in two cases: 1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state 2. hot remove a memory device In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling remove_memory(). So user can notice memory block is changed. But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling remove_memory(). So user cannot notice memory block is changed. For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare as follows: 1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory. 2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's state and notifing the information. The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory(). Signed-off-by: -

Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate contiguous memory space. This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out. Of course, it can affect realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while CMA is running. If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment text, per Mel] Signed-off-by:

KPF_THP can be set on non-huge compound pages (like slab pages or pages allocated by drivers with __GFP_COMP) because PageTransCompound only checks PG_head and PG_tail. Obviously this is a bug and breaks user space applications which look for thp via /proc/kpageflags. This patch rules out setting KPF_THP wrongly by additionally checking PageLRU on the head pages.
