Add the charge and uncharge routines for hugetlb cgroup. We do cgroup charging in page alloc and uncharge in compound page destructor. Assigning page's hugetlb cgroup is protected by hugetlb_lock. [liwp@linux.vnet.ibm.com: add huge_page_order check to avoid incorrect uncharge] Signed-off-by:

Add the hugetlb cgroup pointer to 3rd page lru.next. This limit the usage to hugetlb cgroup to only hugepages with 3 or more normal pages. I guess that is an acceptable limitation. Signed-off-by:

Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations. The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch. Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.

hugepage_activelist will be used to track currently used HugeTLB pages. We need to find the in-use HugeTLB pages to support HugeTLB cgroup removal. On cgroup removal we update the page's HugeTLB cgroup to point to parent cgroup. Signed-off-by:

This patchset implements a cgroup resource controller for HugeTLB pages. The controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of task can allocate. It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs superblock. HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource requirements in the job file. Once their requirements can be met, job schedulers like (SLURM) will schedule the job. We need to make sure that the jobs won't consume more resources than requested. If they do we should either error out or kill the application. This patch: Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate. We will be using this from other subsystems like hugetlb controller in later patches. Signed-off-by:

Since per-BDI flusher threads were introduced in 2.6, the pdflush mechanism is not used any more. But the old interface exported through /proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads still exists and is obviously useless. For back-compatibility, printk warning information and return 2 to notify the users that the interface is removed. Signed-off-by:

Currently, function should_fail() has "bool" for its return value, so it's reasonable to change the return value of function should_fail_alloc_page() into "bool" as well. The patch does cleanup on function should_fail_alloc_page() to have "bool" for its return value. Signed-off-by:

Swap readahead works fine, but the I/O to disk is almost always done in page size requests, despite the fact that readahead submits 1<<page-cluster pages at a time. On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more I/Os than required. On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization. With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput. In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks shows the improved merging: Prior: Reads Queued: 560,888, 2,243MiB Writes Queued: 226,242, 904,968KiB Read Dispatches: 544,701, 2,243MiB Write Dispatches: 159,318, 904,968KiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 544,716, 2,243MiB Writes Completed: 159,321, 904,980KiB Read Merges: 16,187, 64,748KiB Write Merges: 61,744, 246,976KiB IO unplugs: 149,614 Timer unplugs: 2,940 With the patch: Reads Queued: 734,315, 2,937MiB Writes Queued: 300,188, 1,200MiB Read Dispatches: 214,972, 2,937MiB Write Dispatches: 215,176, 1,200MiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 214,971, 2,937MiB Writes Completed: 215,177, 1,200MiB Read Merges: 519,343, 2,077MiB Write Merges: 73,325, 293,300KiB IO unplugs: 337,130 Timer unplugs: 11,184 I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling). In a shared SAN others might get an additional benefit as well, because this now causes less protocol overhead. Signed-off-by:

There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole. Could be simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list. More simpler and efficient. Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within __insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk. Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and rounds for hours.

We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new drm prime infrastructure. We isolated the cause to code in __sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags. There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption about the allocation coming from a memory pool. This was likely true when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new framework. This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected. We could keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb but it seems overkill for this module.

This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to the following notifier chain callbacks. * CPU notifier * PM notifier * memory hotplug notifier * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM) # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection module is available. This patch: The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical errors to specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures. This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code should be returned and which event should be failed.
