* mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable pageHisashi Hifumi2007-10-161-30/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just after swap-out started. The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started. Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time. I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory intensive load. The test result is: -2.6.23-rc5 --- testmachine ping statistics --- 3000 packets transmitted, 3000 received, 0% packet loss, time 53222ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.074/0.652/172.228/7.176 ms, pipe 11, ipg/ewma 17.746/0.092 ms -2.6.23-rc5-patched --- testmachine ping statistics --- 3000 packets transmitted, 3000 received, 0% packet loss, time 51924ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.072/0.108/3.884/0.114 ms, pipe 2, ipg/ewma 17.314/0.091 ms Max round-trip-time was improved. The test machine spec is that 4CPU(3.16GHz, Hyper-threading enabled) 8GB memory , 8GB swap. I did ping test again to observe performance deterioration caused by taking a ref. -2.6.23-rc6-with-modifiedpatch --- testmachine ping statistics --- 3000 packets transmitted, 3000 received, 0% packet loss, time 53386ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.074/0.110/4.716/0.147 ms, pipe 2, ipg/ewma 17.801/0.129 ms The result for my original patch is as follows. -2.6.23-rc5-with-originalpatch --- testmachine ping statistics --- 3000 packets transmitted, 3000 received, 0% packet loss, time 51924ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.072/0.108/3.884/0.114 ms, pipe 2, ipg/ewma 17.314/0.091 ms The influence to response was small.

* Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki2007-05-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

* Make page->private usable in compound pagesChristoph Lameter2007-05-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page. page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in there. Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent. They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e. if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB. Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there right now. Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger blocks than page size. We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we we use the lru head link of the second page of a compound page to hold its destructor. This was ok when it was purely an internal implmentation detail. However, hugetlbfs overrides this destructor violating the layering. Abstract this out as explicit calls, also introduce a type for the callback function allowing them to be type checked. For each callback we pre-declare the function, causing a type error on definition rather than on use elsewhere.

* [PATCH] Light weight event countersChristoph Lameter2006-06-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no essential function for the VM. We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that the vm event counters have to be accurate. In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64. And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for both architectures in most cases. The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building of linux kernels without these counters. The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted (i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done). Benefits: - VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction on i386 and x86_64. - No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case. Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock. - Handling is similar to zoned VM counters. - Simple and easily extendable. - Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

* [PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lruHugh Dickins2006-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound page. But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g. Infiniband's __ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space. And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse. For example, not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap. Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead. And to free up the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from index to lru.prev. Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this. (akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]() caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference at the head page - net result is a memory leak. The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself actually did take compound pages into consideration. Fix the bug and the debug check.

* [PATCH] mm: split page table lockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

* [PATCH] core remove PageReservedNick Piggin2005-10-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.
