      mm: add vm_insert_mixed · 423bad60
      Nick Piggin authored
      vm_insert_mixed will insert either a raw pfn or a refcounted struct page into
      the page tables, depending on whether vm_normal_page() will return the page or
      not.  With the introduction of the new pte bit, this is now a too tricky for
      drivers to be doing themselves.
      
      filemap_xip uses this in a subsequent patch.

      mm: introduce pte_special pte bit · 7e675137
      Nick Piggin authored
      s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
      model (which is more dynamic than most).  Instead, they had proposed to
      implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
      the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:
      
      vm_normal_page()
      {
      	...
              if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                      if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
      #ifdef s390
      			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
      				return NULL;
      #else
                              if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                      return NULL;
      #endif
                              goto out;
                      }
      	...
      }
      
      This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
      refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
      schemes.  So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
      scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
      slightly better code generation in the process):
      
      vm_normal_page()
      {
      #ifdef s390
      	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
      		return NULL;
      	return pte_page(pte);
      #else
      	...
      #endif
      }
      
      And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
      than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
      Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
      not be able to spare pte bits.  This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
      ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.
      
      So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c.  It is
      currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
      compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.
      
      BTW:
      I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
      The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
      implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
      depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
      only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
      the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
      accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
      not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
      we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
      out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
      we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
      don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
      while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
      mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

      mm: introduce VM_MIXEDMAP · b379d790
      Jared Hulbert authored
      This series introduces some important infrastructure work.  The overall result
      is that:
      
      1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no
         struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement
         this for s390.
      
         This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand,
         in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a
         readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently,
         guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have
         100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct
         pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?)
      
         For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non-
         volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then
         your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even
         though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly
         eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more
         attractive to a lot of these guys.
      
      2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want
         to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support
         COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM
         filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will
         most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing,
         which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not)
         comes from.
      
      3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless
         get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up "oltp" on db2 by
         10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they
         scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these
         workloads. I'm hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on
         pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not
         meant to justify this patchset (which doesn't include lockless gup),
         but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that
         should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it
         on at least x86 and powerpc as well.
      
      This patch:
      
      Introduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP.  This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in
      that it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without
      struct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount
      (PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations
      are mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non
      refcounted ranges).
      
      VM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not
      refcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because it
      needs to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg.  for /dev/mem mappings).

      PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED and separate page flags for Head and Tail · e20b8cca
      Christoph Lameter authored
      Having separate page flags for the head and the tail of a compound page allows
      the compiler to use bitops instead of operations on a word to check for a tail
      page.  That is f.e.  important for virt_to_head_page() which is used in
      various critical code paths (kfree for example):
      
      Code for PageTail(page)
      
      Before:
      
       mov    (%rdi),%rdx		page->flags
       mov    %rdx,%rax		3 bytes
       and    $0x12000,%eax		5 bytes
       cmp    $0x12000,%rax		6 bytes
       je     897 <kfree+0xa7>
      
      After:
      
       mov    (%rdi),%rax
       test   $0x40,%ah			(3 bytes)
       jne    887 <kfree+0x97>
      
      So we go from 14 bytes to 3 bytes and from 3 instructions to one.  From the
      use of 2 registers we go to none.
      
      We can only use page flags for this if we have page flags available.  This
      patch introduces CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED that is set if pageflags are not
      scarce due to SPARSEMEM using page flags for its sectionid on 32 bit NUMA
      platforms.
      
      Additional page flag definitions can be added to the CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
      section in page-flags.h if the functionality depends on PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED or
      if more page flag overlapping tricks are used for the !PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
      fallback (the upcoming virtual compound patch may hook in here and Rik's/Lee's
      additional page flags to solve the reclaim issues could also be added there
      [hint...  hint...  where are these patchsets?]).
      
      Avoiding the overlaying of Pg_reclaim also clears the way for possible use of
      compound pages for the pagecache or on the LRU.

      sparsemem: vmemmap does not need section bits · 308c05e3
      Christoph Lameter authored
      A set of patches that attempts to improve page flag handling.  First of all a
      method is introduced to generate the page flag functions using macros.  Then
      the number of page flags used by sparsemem is reduced.  All page flag
      operations will no longer be macros.  All flags will use inline function.
      
      Then we add a way to export enum constants to the preprocessor which allows us
      to get rid of __ZONE_COUNT and use the NR_PAGEFLAGS for the dynamic
      calculation of actually available page flags for fields.
      
      This patch:
      
      Sparsemem vmemmap does not need any section bits.  This patch has the effect
      of reducing the number of bits used in page->flags by at least 6.

      vmalloc: show vmalloced areas via /proc/vmallocinfo · a10aa579
      Christoph Lameter authored
      Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated
      vmalloc memory.
      
      It allows to see the users of vmalloc.  That is important if vmalloc space is
      scarce (i386 for example).
      
      And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc.
      Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback.
       This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no
      longer necessary to access the memory.  /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how
      that reduction occurs.
      
      If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer
      possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations
      fell back to virtual compound pages.  That is important for new users of
      virtual compound pages.  Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may
      fallback to virtual compound pages in the future.
      
      /proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible
      information leakage.

      mempolicy: fix parsing of tmpfs mpol mount option · a43361cf
      Lee Schermerhorn authored
      Parsing of new mode flags in the tmpfs mpol mount option is slightly broken:
      
      Setting a valid flag works OK:
      	#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=static:1-2 /dev/shm
      	#mount
      	...
      	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind=static:1-2)
      	...
      
      However, we can't remove them or change them, once we've
      set a valid flag:
      
      	#mount -o remount,mpol=bind:1-2 /dev/shm
      	#mount
      	...
      	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind:1-2)
      	...
      
      It SAYS it removed it, but that's just a copy of the input
      string.  If we now try to set it to a different flag, we
      get:
      
      	#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=relative:1-2 /dev/shm
      	mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option
      
      And on the console, we see:
      	tmpfs: Bad value 'bind' for mount option 'mpol'
      	                      ^ lost remainder of string
      
      Furthermore, bogus flags are accepted with out error.
      Granted, they are a no-op:
      
      	#mount -o remount,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3 /dev/shm
      	#mount
      	...
      	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3)
      
      Again, that's just a copy of the input string shown by the mount command.
      
      This patch fixes the behavior by pre-zeroing the flags so that only one of the
      mutually exclusive flags can be set at one time.  It also reports an error
      when an unrecognized flag is specified.
      
      The check for both flags being set is removed because it can't happen with
      this implementation.  If we ever want to support multiple non-exclusive flags,
      this area will need rework and we will need to check that any mutually
      exclusive flags aren't specified.

      mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred mode · 3e1f0645
      David Rientjes authored
      MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for
      MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely
      local allocations).  They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of
      a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement.
      
      Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty
      nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations.  [A
      different, somewhat incomplete, patch already existed in 25-rc5-mm1.]

      mempolicy: create mempolicy_operations structure · 37012946
      David Rientjes authored
      Create a mempolicy_operations structure that currently points to two
      functions[*] for the various modes:
      
      	int (*create)(struct mempolicy *, const nodemask_t *);
      	void (*rebind)(struct mempolicy *, const nodemask_t *);
      
      This splits the implementation for the various modes out of two large
      functions, mpol_new() and mpol_rebind_policy().  Eventually it may be
      beneficial to add additional functions to accomodate the existing switch()
      statements in mm/mempolicy.c.
      
       [*] The ->create() function for MPOL_DEFAULT is currently NULL since no
           struct mempolicy is dynamically allocated.

      mempolicy: add MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag · 4c50bc01
      David Rientjes authored
      Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies
      nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative
      to the current task's mems_allowed.
      
      When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto
      the current task's mems_allowed.  For example, consider a task using
      set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a
      nodemask of 1-3.  If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is
      5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed).
      
      If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound
      each time the mems are changed.  Some possible rebinds and results are:
      
      	mems			result
      	1-3			1-3
      	1-7			2-4
      	1,5-6			1,5-6
      	1,5-7			5-7
      
      Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned
      to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap.
      
      In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently
      effected nodemask to the relative nodemask.
      
      This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.

      mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations · 7ea931c9
      Paul Jackson authored
      The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
      with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
      
      The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
      n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
      will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.
      
      The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
      the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
      value.
      
      There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
      predecessor bitmap_relative:
       1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
       2) Added bitmap_fold().
      
      The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
      converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
      relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
      or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
      bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
      first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
      calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
      (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
      converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
      node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.
      
      Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
      of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
       1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
          relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
          condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
          between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
          and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
          set_memplicy system call.
       2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
          mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
          cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
          because the existing interface only allows specifying
          mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.
      
      Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
      particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
      each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
      various CPUs and Nodes available.
      
      The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
      example.
      
      Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
      nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
      relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
      cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
      this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
      nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
      higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
      mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
      weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
      specifying nodes 4-7.

      mempolicy: add MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag · f5b087b5
      David Rientjes authored
      Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the
      node remap when the policy is rebound.
      
      Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of
      a union with cpuset_mems_allowed:
      
      	struct mempolicy {
      		...
      		union {
      			nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed;
      			nodemask_t user_nodemask;
      		} w;
      	}
      
      that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the
      mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind().  When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES,
      which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask
      intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when
      determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating
      the interleave nodemask.  This happens whenever the policy is rebound,
      including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are
      changed.
      
      This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy
      "intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that
      it desires.  For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over
      a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created
      and the task continues to use the previous policy.  With this change, however,
      it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access
      to nodes in the nodemask is acquired.
      
      It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when
      specifying a node or nodemask.  To do this, simply add "=static" immediately
      following the mempolicy mode at mount time:
      
      	mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3
      
      Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it
      is now obsoleted.  The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.

      mempolicy: support optional mode flags · 028fec41
      David Rientjes authored
      With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode
      flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances.  The
      most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the
      nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind.
      
      Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy'
      formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall.  A new constant,
      MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be
      passed as part of this int.  Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of
      their policy are rejected as invalid.
      
      An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags:
      
      	struct mempolicy {
      		...
      		unsigned short policy;
      		unsigned short flags;
      	}
      
      The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in
      sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls.  This is
      done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of
      there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct
      mempolicy.  The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in
      the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain
      unchanged.
      
      The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the
      user in get_mempolicy().
      
      This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break
      userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either
      
      	switch (policy) {
      	case MPOL_BIND:
      		...
      	case MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
      		...
      	};
      
      statements or
      
      	if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) {
      		...
      	}
      
      statements.  Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when
      calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements
      to stop working.  If an application does start using optional mode flags, it
      will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional
      statements that only test mode.
      
      An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the
      optional mode flags.

      mempolicy: convert MPOL constants to enum · a3b51e01
      David Rientjes authored
      The mempolicy mode constants, MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_PREFERRED, MPOL_BIND, and
      MPOL_INTERLEAVE, are better declared as part of an enum since they are
      sequentially numbered and cannot be combined.
      
      The policy member of struct mempolicy is also converted from type short to
      type unsigned short.  A negative policy does not have any legitimate meaning,
      so it is possible to change its type in preparation for adding optional mode
      flags later.
      
      The equivalent member of struct shmem_sb_info is also changed from int to
      unsigned short.
      
      For compatibility, the policy formal to get_mempolicy() remains as a pointer
      to an int:
      
      	int get_mempolicy(int *policy, unsigned long *nmask,
      			  unsigned long maxnode, unsigned long addr,
      			  unsigned long flags);
      
      although the only possible values is the range of type unsigned short.

      mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask · 19770b32
      Mel Gorman authored
      The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
      controlled by that mempolicy.  As the per-node zonelist is already being
      filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
      takes a nodemask for further filtering.  This eliminates the need for
      MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
      
      A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
      local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
      zonelist.  I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
      available memory.
