* mm: reuse unused swap entry if necessaryKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-161-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently we can know a swap entry is just used as SwapCache via swap_map, without looking up swap cache. Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in get_swap_pages(). This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not enough. Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free cluster. Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel to reclaim unused swap.

* mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flagKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-162-56/+163
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak. But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg. There are 2 kinds of references to swap. - reference from swap entry - reference from swap cache Then, - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache. (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[], current usage of counter is not very good. This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

* mm: add swap cache interface for swap referenceKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-164-9/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map. This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that. 2 interfaces: - swapcache_prepare() - swapcache_free() are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

* page-allocator: reset wmark_min and inactive ratio of zone when hotplug happensMinchan Kim2009-06-162-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Solve two problems. Whenever memory hotplug sucessfully happens, zone->present_pages have to be changed. 1) Now memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmark_min only when online_pages called, not offline_pages. It breaks balance. 2) If zone->present_pages is changed, we also have to change zone->inactive_ratio. That's because inactive_ratio depends on zone->present_pages.

* migration: only migrate_prep() once per move_pages()Brice Goglin2009-06-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | migrate_prep() is fairly expensive (72us on 16-core barcelona 1.9GHz). Commit 3140a2273009c01c27d316f35ab76a37e105fdd8 improved move_pages() throughput by breaking it into chunks, but it also made migrate_prep() be called once per chunk (every 128pages or so) instead of once per move_pages(). This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did before 2.6.29. It is also a followup to commit 0aedadf91a70a11c4a3e7c7d99b21e5528af8d5d ("mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_sem"). This improves migration throughput on the above machine from 600MB/s to 750MB/s.

* mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozenRafael J. Wysocki2009-06-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory: * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend. * Free pages are almost exhausted. * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the OOM killer. * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so it doesn't die immediately. * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer. * No progress can be made. Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even more likely to happen during hibernation. To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

* page-allocator: warn if __GFP_NOFAIL is used for a large allocationAndrew Morton2009-06-161-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __GFP_NOFAIL is a bad fiction. Allocations _can_ fail, and callers should detect and suitably handle this (and not by lamely moving the infinite loop up to the caller level either). Attempting to use __GFP_NOFAIL for a higher-order allocation is even worse, so add a once-off runtime check for this to slap people around for even thinking about trying it.

Hopefully this interface change won't break too many scripts. /proc/zoneinfo is too unstructured to be script friendly, and I wonder the affected scripts - if there are any - are still bleeding since the not long ago commit "vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets", which also touched the "scanned" line :) If we are to re-export accumulated vmscan counts in the future, they can go to new lines in /proc/zoneinfo instead of the current form, or to /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo?

This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems because only three things can happen to an inactive file page: 1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list 2) evicted by the pageout code 3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO, this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the normal pageout pattern.

This patch checks the pagetype with interrupts enabled with the impact that it is possible a page is freed to the wrong list when a pageblock changes type.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | free_page_mlock() tests and clears PG_mlocked using locked versions of the bit operations. If set, it disables interrupts to update counters and this happens on every page free even though interrupts are disabled very shortly afterwards a second time. This is wasteful. This patch splits what free_page_mlock() does. The bit check is still made. However, the update of counters is delayed until the interrupts are disabled and the non-lock version for clearing the bit is used. One potential weirdness with this split is that the counters do not get updated if the bad_page() check is triggered but a system showing bad pages is getting screwed already.

This patch calculates preferred_zone once. It's safe to do this because if preferred_zone is NULL at the start of the call, no amount of direct reclaim or other actions will change the fact the allocation will fail.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The start of a large patch series to clean up and optimise the page allocator. The performance improvements are in a wide range depending on the exact machine but the results I've seen so fair are approximately; kernbench: 0 to 0.12% (elapsed time) 0.49% to 3.20% (sys time) aim9: -4% to 30% (for page_test and brk_test) tbench: -1% to 4% hackbench: -2.5% to 3.45% (mostly within the noise though) netperf-udp -1.34% to 4.06% (varies between machines a bit) netperf-tcp -0.44% to 5.22% (varies between machines a bit) I haven't sysbench figures at hand, but previously they were within the -0.5% to 2% range. On netperf, the client and server were bound to opposite number CPUs to maximise the problems with cache line bouncing of the struct pages so I expect different people to report different results for netperf depending on their exact machine and how they ran the test (different machines, same cpus client/server, shared cache but two threads client/server, different socket client/server etc). I also measured the vmlinux sizes for a single x86-based config with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled but not CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. The core of the .config is based on the Debian Lenny kernel config so I expect it to be reasonably typical. This patch: __alloc_pages_internal is the core page allocator function but essentially it is an alias of __alloc_pages_nodemask. Naming a publicly available and exported function "internal" is also a big ugly. This patch renames __alloc_pages_internal() to __alloc_pages_nodemask() and deletes the old nodemask function. Warning - This patch renames an exported symbol. No kernel driver is affected by external drivers calling __alloc_pages_internal() should change the call to __alloc_pages_nodemask() without any alteration of parameters.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is changed. In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes".
