At present slab is using 2-order allocations for the size-2048 cache.  Of
course, this can affect networking quite seriously.

The patch ensures that slab will never use more than a 1-order allocation
for objects which have a size of less than 2*PAGE_SIZE.

From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>

Add a little helper macro for a common list extraction operation in vmscan.c

The current refill logic in refill_inactive_zone() takes an arbitrarily large
number of pages and chops it down to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX*4, regardless of the
size of the zone.

This has the effect of reducing the amount of refilling of large zones
proportionately much more than of small zones.

We made this change in may 2003 and I'm damned if I remember why.  let's put
it back so we don't truncate the refill count and see what happens.

- prevent nr_scan_inactive from going negative

- compare `count' with SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, not `max_scan'

- Use ">= SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX", not "> SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX".

From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>

Use a "refill_counter" for inactive list scanning, similar to the one used
for active list scanning.  This batches up scanning now that we precisely
balance ratios, and don't round up the amount to be done.

No observed benefits, but I imagine it would lower the acquisition
frequency of the lru locks in some cases, and make codepaths more efficient
in general due to cache niceness.

This is just a random unsubstantiated tuning tweak: don't immediately
throttle page allocators and kwapd when the going is getting heavier: scan a
bit more of the LRU before throttling.

This removes a vestige of the old algorithm.  We don't want to skip zones if
all_zones_ok is true: we've already precalculated which zones need scanning
and this just stops us from ever performing kswapd reclaim from the DMA zone.

As kswapd is now scanning zones in the highmem->normal->dma direction it can
get into competition with the page allocator: kswapd keep on trying to free
pages from highmem, then kswapd moves onto lowmem.  By the time kswapd has
done proportional scanning in lowmem, someone has come in and allocated a few
pages from highmem.  So kswapd goes back and frees some highmem, then some
lowmem again.  But nobody has allocated any lowmem yet.  So we keep on and on
scanning lowmem in response to highmem page allocations.

With a simple `dd' on a 1G box we get:

Simple fix: go back to scanning the zones in the dma->normal->highmem
direction so we meet the page allocator in the middle somewhere.

Currently kswapd walks across all zones in dma->normal->highmem order,
performing proportional scanning until all zones are OK.  This means that
pressure against ZONE_NORMAL causes unnecessary reclaim of ZONE_HIGHMEM.

To fix that up we change kswapd so that it walks the zones in the
high->normal->dma direction, skipping zones which are OK.  Once it encounters
a zone which needs some reclaim kswapd will perform proportional scanning
against that zone as well as all the succeeding lower zones.

We scan the lower zones even if they have sufficient free pages.  This is
because

a) the lower zone may be above pages_high, but because of the incremental
   min, the lower zone may still not be eligible for allocations.  That's bad
   because cache in that lower zone will then not be scanned at the correct
   rate.

b) pages in this lower zone are usable for allocations against the higher
   zone.  So we do want to san all the relevant zones at an equal rate.

- If max_scan evaluates to zero due to a very small inactive list and high
  `priority' numbers, we don't want to thrlttle yet.

- In balance_pgdat(), we may end up not scanning any pages because all
  zones happened to be above pages_high.  Avoid throttling in this case too.

When page reclaim is working out how many pages to san in a zone (max-scan)
it presently rounds that number up if it looks too small - for work batching.

Problem is, this can result in excessive scanning against small zones which
have few inactive pages.  So remove it.

Not that it is possible for max_scan to be zero.  That's OK - it'll become
non-zero as the priority increases.

Page reclaim is currently a bit schitzo: sometimes we say "go and scan this
many pages and tell me how many pages were freed" and at other times we say
"go and scan this many pages, but stop if you freed this many".

It makes the logic harder to control and to understand.  This patch coverts
everything into the "go and scan this many pages and tell me how many pages
were freed" model.

It doesn't seem to affect performance much either way.

We currently have a problem with the balancing of reclaim between zones: much
more reclaim happens against highmem than against lowmem.

This patch partially fixes this by changing the direct reclaim path so it
does not bale out of the zone walk after having reclaimed sufficient pages
from highmem: go on to reclaim from lowmem regardless of how many pages we
reclaimed from lowmem.

The patch which went in six months or so back which said "only reclaim slab
if we're scanning lowmem pagecache" was wrong.  I must have been asleep at
the time.

We do need to scan slab in response to highmem page reclaim as well.  Because
all the math is based around the total amount of memory in the machine, and
we know that if we're performing highmem page reclaim then the lower zones
have no free memory.

The logic which calculates the numberof pages which were scanned is mucked
up.  Fix.

In try_to_free_pages(), put even pressure on the slab even if we have
reclaimed enough pages from the LRU.

In shrink_slab(), do the multiply before the divide to avoid losing
precision.

From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>

If refill_inactive_zone() is running in its dont-reclaim-mapped-memory mode
we are tossing away the referenced infomation on active mapped pages.

So put that info back if we're not going to deactivate the page.

The logic in balance_pgdat() is all bollixed up.

- the incoming arg `nr_pages' should be used to determine if we're being
  asked to free a specific number of pages, not `to_free'.

- local variable `to_free' is not appropriate for the determination of
  whether we failed to bring all zones to appropriate free pages levels.

  Fix this by correctly calculating `all_zones_ok' and then use
  all_zones_ok to determine whether we need to throttle kswapd.

So the logic now is:


	for (increasing priority) {

		all_zones_ok = 1;

		for (all zones) {
			to_reclaim = number of pages to try to reclaim
				     from this zone;
			max_scan = number of pages to scan in this pass
				   (gets larger as `priority' decreases)
			/*
			 * set `reclaimed' to the number of pages which were
			 * actually freed up
			 */
			reclaimed = scan(max_scan pages);
			reclaimed += shrink_slab();

			to_free -= reclaimed;	/* for the `nr_pages>0' case */

			/*
			 * If this scan failed to reclaim `to_reclaim' or more
			 * pages, we're getting into trouble.  Need to scan
			 * some more, and throttle kswapd.   Note that this
			 * zone may now have sufficient free pages due to
			 * freeing activity by some other process.   That's
			 * OK - we'll pick that info up on the next pass
			 * through the loop.
			 */
			if (reclaimed < to_reclaim)
				all_zones_ok = 0;
		}
		if (to_free > 0)
			continue;	/* swsusp: need to do more work */
		if (all_zones_ok)
			break;		/* kswapd is done */
		/*
		 * OK, kswapd is getting into trouble.  Take a nap, then take
		 * another pass across the zones.
		 */
		blk_congestion_wait();
	}

Now that decision to reclaim mapped memory is taken on the basis of
zone->prev_priority, priority argument is no longer needed.

From: Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>

The addition of the smp_mb and the other change is to try to close the
window for races a bit.  Obviously they can still happen, it's a racy
interface and it doesn't matter much.

Teach blk_congestion_wait() to return the number of jiffies remaining.  This
is for debug, but it is also nicely consistent.

To check on zone balancing, split the /proc/vmstat:pgsteal, pgreclaim pgalloc
and pgscan stats into per-zone counters.

Additionally, split the pgscan stats into pgscan_direct and pgscan_kswapd to
see who's doing how much scanning.

And add a metric for the number of slab objects which were scanned.

mempool_alloc() and mempool_free() check pool->curr_nr without any locks
held.  This can lead to skipping a wakeup when there are people waiting,
and sleeping when there are free elements in the pool.

I can't trigger this reliably, but sooner or later someone on ppc is
probably going to hit it.

Various fixes and enhancements to the monitor hardware detection code.  The
only driver that uses it is the radeon driver.

Old EDID parsing code was very verbose, half of the patch address this (ie.
print lots of stuff iff DEBUG).  The other big change is the FB_MODE_IS_*
stuff: we really need a way to know the origin of a video mode.  In this way
we can select video mode that comes from EDID instead of VESA or GTF.

Drivers other than radeonfb won't be affected because they cannot (yet) get
EDID from the monitor and don't use EDID related code.
