      mempolicy: write lock mmap_sem while changing task mempolicy · f4e53d91
      Lee Schermerhorn authored
      A read of /proc/<pid>/numa_maps holds the target task's mmap_sem for read
      while examining each vma's mempolicy.  A vma's mempolicy can fall back to the
      task's policy.  However, the task could be changing it's task policy and free
      the one that the show_numa_maps() is examining.
      
      To prevent this, grab the mmap_sem for write when updating task mempolicy.
      Pointed out to me by Christoph Lameter and extracted and reworked from
      Christoph's alternative mempol reference counting patch.
      
      This is analogous to the way that do_mbind() and do_get_mempolicy() prevent
      races between task's sharing an mm_struct [a.k.a.  threads] setting and
      querying a mempolicy for a particular address.
      
      Note: this is necessary, but not sufficient, to allow us to stop taking an
      extra reference on "other task's mempolicy" in get_vma_policy.  Subsequent
      patches will complete this update, allowing us to simplify the tests for
      whether we need to unref a mempolicy at various points in the code.

      mempolicy: rename mpol_copy to mpol_dup · 846a16bf
      Lee Schermerhorn authored
      This patch renames mpol_copy() to mpol_dup() because, well, that's what it
      does.  Like, e.g., strdup() for strings, mpol_dup() takes a pointer to an
      existing mempolicy, allocates a new one and copies the contents.
      
      In a later patch, I want to use the name mpol_copy() to copy the contents from
      one mempolicy to another like, e.g., strcpy() does for strings.

      mempolicy: rename mpol_free to mpol_put · f0be3d32
      Lee Schermerhorn authored
      This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman.  Makes sense
      to me, so here it is.
      
      Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
      free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object.  However, ...
      
      The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
      so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy.  The
      mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
      shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
      allocating a page based on the mempolicy.  In that case, the task performing
      the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
      mpol_shared_policy_lookup().  The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
      holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

      Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: vmstat events for huge page allocations · 3b116300
      Adam Litke authored
      Allocating huge pages directly from the buddy allocator is not guaranteed to
      succeed.  Success depends on several factors (such as the amount of physical
      memory available and the level of fragmentation).  With the addition of
      dynamic hugetlb pool resizing, allocations can occur much more frequently.
      For these reasons it is desirable to keep track of huge page allocation
      successes and failures.
      
      Add two new vmstat entries to track huge page allocations that succeed and
      fail.  The presence of the two entries is contingent upon CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
      being enabled.

      vmcoreinfo: add page flags values · 122c7a59
      Ken'ichi Ohmichi authored
      Add some values of page flags to the vmcoreinfo data.
      
      The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
      filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
      unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
      
      An old makedumpfile (v1.2.4 or before) had assumed some values of page flags
      internally, and this implementation could not follow the change of these
      values.  For example, Christoph Lameter is changing these values by the
      follwing patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/463
      
      So a new makedumpfile (v1.2.5) came to need these values and I created this
      patch to let the kernel output them.

      return pfn from direct_access, for XIP · 30afcb4b
      Jared Hulbert authored
      Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new
      get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).
      
      Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use
      by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by
      direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.
      
      However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because
      we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its
      read(2) and write(2) handlers.  So we have to return both.

      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.

      It was used to compensate because MAX_NR_ZONES was not available to the
      #ifdefs.  Export MAX_NR_ZONES via the new mechanism and get rid of
      __ZONE_COUNT.

      page flags: add PAGEFLAGS_FALSE for flags that are always false · ec7cade8
      Christoph Lameter authored
      Turns out that there are a number of times that a flag is simply always
      returning 0.  Define a macro for that.

      page flags: handle PG_uncached like all other flags · 602c4d11

      Remove the special setup for PG_uncached and simply make it part of the enum.
      The page flag will only be allocated when the kernel build includes the
      uncached allocator.

      Replace explicit definitions of page flags through the use of macros.
      Significantly reduces the size of the definitions and removes a lot of

      pageflags: introduce macros to generate page flag functions · f94a62e9
      Christoph Lameter authored
      Introduce a set of macros that generate functions to handle page flags.
      
      A page flag function group typically starts with either
      
      	SETPAGEFLAG(<part of function name>,<part of PG_ flagname>)
      
      to create a set of page flag operations that are atomic. Or
      
      	__SETPAGEFLAG(<part of function name>,<part of PG_ flagname)
      
      to create a set of page flag operations that are not atomic.
      
      Then additional operations can be added using the following macros
      
      TESTSCFLAG		Create additional atomic test-and-set and
      			test-and-clear functions
      
      TESTSETFLAG		Create additional test and set function
      TESTCLEARFLAG		Create additional test and clear function
      SETPAGEFLAG		Create additional atomic set function
      CLEARPAGEFLAG		Create additional atomic clear function
      __TESTPAGEFLAG		Create additional non atomic set function
      __SETPAGEFLAG		Create additional non atomic clear function

      pageflags: get rid of FLAGS_RESERVED · 9223b419
      Christoph Lameter authored
      NR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using.  From that we
      can calculate the number of bits leftover that can be used for zone, node (and
      maybe the sections id).  There is no need anymore for FLAGS_RESERVED if we use
      NR_PAGEFLAGS.
      
      Use the new methods to make NR_PAGEFLAGS available via the preprocessor.
      NR_PAGEFLAGS is used to calculate field boundaries in the page flags fields.
      These field widths have to be available to the preprocessor.

      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.

      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>.
