17 years agoAllow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE
Mel Gorman [Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:03:13 +0000 (04:03 -0700)]
Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE

Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE.  However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time.  This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.

This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable.  When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE.  Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.

17 years agoCreate the ZONE_MOVABLE zone
Mel Gorman [Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:03:12 +0000 (04:03 -0700)]
Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone

The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
__GFP_MOVABLE.  This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
from either partition.  The patches may be applied with the list-based
anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.

The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
boot-time.  This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  Any range of pages
within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.

When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
things to consider.  First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64.  Second,
the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
NUMA nodes where possible.  If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.

By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
pinned and non-migratable (currently at least).  A sysctl is provided that
allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone.  This means that the huge
page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
the system assuming that pages are not mlocked.  Despite huge pages being
non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.

Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
review of the patches.

This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  This zone is only usable
by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE.  Hot-added
memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

17 years agoAdd __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated
Mel Gorman [Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:03:05 +0000 (04:03 -0700)]
Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated

It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
storage and discarding.

An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
change the semantics of an existing API.  After this patch is applied there
are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.

Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
shmem_dir_alloc() helper function.  This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
Hugh Dickens.

Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
concept.  Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
and ramfs allocations.

17 years agoFix read/truncate race
NeilBrown [Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:03:04 +0000 (04:03 -0700)]
Fix read/truncate race

do_generic_mapping_read currently samples the i_size at the start and doesn't
do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load a page.  After
->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate may have caused that page
to be filled with zeros, and the read() call should not see these.

However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be called on
a page between the time that do_generic_mapping_read samples i_size and when
it finds that it has an uptodate page.  These include at least read-ahead and
possibly another thread performing a read.

So do_generic_mapping_read must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page.
 Thus the current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with
a sampling before the copy-out.

The same change applied to __generic_file_splice_read.

Note that this fixes any race with truncate_complete_page, but does not fix a
possible race with truncate_partial_page.  If a partial truncate happens after
do_generic_mapping_read samples i_size and before the copy_out, the nuls that
truncate_partial_page place in the page could be copied out incorrectly.

I think the best fix for that is to *not* zero out parts of the page in
truncate_partial_page, but rather to zero out the tail of a page when
increasing i_size.

vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2

Optimize integer-to-string conversion in vsprintf.c for base 10.  This is
by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts
performance.  For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and
with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time.

Using code from

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html
(with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones)

binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at
once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in
some multiply instructions).

On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code.

This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached.
I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times
faster. On AMD64:

# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration

Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration

26025406464 ok...        [Ctrl-C]

More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to
report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account
any processing done after that, like sorting process list),
and then I test it with 4000 processes:

#!/bin/sh
i=4000
while test $i != 0; do
    sleep 30 &
    let i--
done
busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null

on unpatched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan

on patched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan

The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat
by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

Jesper Juhl [Mon, 16 Jul 2007 06:41:42 +0000 (23:41 -0700)]
Remove the last few UMSDOS leftovers

The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits stuck
around.  This patch removes the few remaining leftovers.  The only things
left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file and the ioctl
number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation.

This third (hopefully final) version of the patch doesn't edit the
arch/um/config.release file, since Jeff Dike pointed out to me that it
should die completely, and asked me to remove it from my patch as he'll
send in a seperate patch removing the file completely.

17 years agogeneric bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()
Heiko Carstens [Mon, 16 Jul 2007 06:41:39 +0000 (23:41 -0700)]
generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():

 [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)
 [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0
