Introduce helper function mem_init_print_info() to simplify mem_init() across different architectures, which also unifies the format and information printed. Function mem_init_print_info() calculates memory statistics information without walking each page, so it should be a little faster on some architectures. Also introduce another helper get_num_physpages() to kill the global variable num_physpages. Signed-off-by:

Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section. This patch also fixes possible bugs due to current address layout that [__init_begin, __init_end] is a sub-range of [_stext, _etext] and pages within range [__init_begin, __init_end] will be freed by free_initmem().

The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. Patch 1-7: 1) add comments for global variables exported by vmlinux.lds 2) normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds Patch 8: Introduce helper functions mem_init_print_info() and get_num_physpages() Patch 9: Avoid using global variable num_physpages at runtime Patch 10: Don't update num_physpages in memory_hotplug.c Patch 11-40: Modify arch mm initialization code to: 1) Simplify mem_init() by using mem_init_print_info() 2) Prepare for killing global variable num_physpages Patch 41: Kill the global variable num_physpages With all patches applied, mem_init(), free_initmem(), free_initrd_mem() could be as simple as below. This patch series has reduced about 1.2K lines of code in total. #ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM void __init mem_init(void) { max_mapnr = max_low_pfn; free_all_bootmem(); high_memory = (void *) __va(max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE); mem_init_print_info(NULL); } #endif /* CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM */ void free_initmem(void) { free_initmem_default(-1); } #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD void free_initrd_mem(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) { free_reserved_area(start, end, -1, "initrd"); } #endif Due to hardware resource limitations, I have only tested this on x86_64. And the messages reported on an x86_64 system are: Log message before applying patches: Memory: 7745676k/8910848k available (6934k kernel code, 836024k absent, 329148k reserved, 6343k data, 1012k init) Log message after applying patches: Memory: 7744624K/8074824K available (6969K kernel code, 1011K data, 2828K rodata, 1016K init, 9640K bss, 330200K reserved) Great thanks to Vineet Gupta for testing on ARC. This patch: Document global variables exported from vmlinux.lds. 1) Add comments about usage guidelines for global variables exported from vmlinux.lds.S. 2) Remove unused __initdata_begin[] and __initdata_end[].

zap_pte_range loops from @addr to @end. In the middle, if it runs out of batching slots, TLB entries needs to be flushed for @start to @interim, NOT @interim to @end. Since ARC port doesn't use page free batching I can't test it myself but this seems like the right thing to do. Observed this when working on a fix for the issue at thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-arch/msg21736.htmlSigned-off-by:

As reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501, "MemTotal" from /proc/meminfo means memory pages managed by the buddy system (managed_pages), but "MemTotal" from /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo means physical pages present (present_pages) within the NUMA node. There's a difference between managed_pages and present_pages due to bootmem allocator and reserved pages. And Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says MemTotal: Total usable ram (i.e. physical ram minus a few reserved bits and the kernel binary code) So change /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo to report available pages within the node as "MemTotal".

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(), free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count(). With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence. Signed-off-by:

Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for highmem pages. And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way. Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has already adjusted totalhigh_pages. This patch also fixes two bugs: 1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when reserve/unreserve pages. 2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing memory. We still need to deal with modifications of totalram_pages in file arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/cmm.c, but need help from PPC experts. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove ifdef, per Wanpeng Li, virtio_balloon.c cleanup, per Sergei] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: export adjust_managed_page_count() to modules, for drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c] Signed-off-by:

In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time. With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init. Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in a safer way. This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing reserved pages. And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in put_page_bootmem(). This greatly simplifies the locking rules.

Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system. So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to: 1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init(). 2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

Address more review comments from last round of code review. 1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem() on ARM64. 2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390 by mistake, so restore to the original behavior. 3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard: a) and can do it quickly; b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other I/O); c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to send one down; And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions: i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is capable of doing so optimally; ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet); iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or iv. turn it off completely (default behavior) As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b) even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is not capable of performing it optimally. This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints. This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap device constraint.
