* [PATCH] Extract the allocpercpu functions from the slab allocatorChristoph Lameter2006-09-264-170/+130
| | | | | | | | | | | | The allocpercpu functions __alloc_percpu and __free_percpu() are heavily using the slab allocator. However, they are conceptually slab. This also simplifies SLOB (at this point slob may be broken in mm. This should fix it).

* [PATCH] slab: do not panic when alloc_kmemlist fails and slab is upChristoph Lameter2006-09-261-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is fairly easy to get a system to oops by simply sizing a cache via /proc in such a way that one of the chaches (shared is easiest) becomes bigger than the maximum allowed slab allocation size. This occurs because enable_cpucache() fails if it cannot reallocate some caches. However, enable_cpucache() is used for multiple purposes: resizing caches, cache creation and bootstrap. If the slab is already up then we already have working caches. The resize can fail without a problem. We just need to return the proper error code. F.e. after this patch: # echo "size-64 10000 50 1000" >/proc/slabinfo -bash: echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory notice no OOPS. If we are doing a kmem_cache_create() then we also should not panic but return -ENOMEM. If on the other hand we do not have a fully bootstrapped slab allocator yet then we should indeed panic since we are unable to bring up the slab to its full functionality.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having the oomkilladj == OOM_DISABLE check before the releasing check means that oomkilladj == OOM_DISABLE tasks exiting will not stop the OOM killer. Moving the test down will give the desired behaviour. Also: it will allow them to "OOM-kill" themselves if they are exiting. As per the previous patch, this is required to prevent OOM killer deadlocks (and they don't actually get killed, because they're already exiting -- they're simply allowed access to memory reserves).

* [PATCH] oom: handle current exitingNick Piggin2006-09-261-4/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If current *is* exiting, it should actually be allowed to access reserved memory rather than OOM kill something else. Can't do this via a straight check in page_alloc.c because that would allow multiple tasks to use up reserves. Instead cause current to OOM-kill itself which will mark it as TIF_MEMDIE. The current procedure of simply aborting the OOM-kill if a task is exiting can lead to OOM deadlocks. In the case of killing a PF_EXITING task, don't make a lot of noise about it. This becomes more important in future patches, where we can "kill" OOM_DISABLE tasks.

* [PATCH] oom: reclaim_mapped on oomNick Piggin2006-09-261-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Potentially it takes several scans of the lru lists before we can even start reclaiming pages. mapped pages, with young ptes can take 2 passes on the active list + one on the inactive list. But reclaim_mapped may not always kick in instantly, so it could take even more than that. Raise the threshold for marking a zone as all_unreclaimable from a factor of 4 time the pages in the zone to 6. Introduce a mechanism to force reclaim_mapped if we've reached a factor 3 and still haven't made progress. Previously, a customer doing stress testing was able to easily OOM the box after using only a small fraction of its swap (~100MB). After the patches, it would only OOM after having used up all swap (~800MB).

* [PATCH] mm: swap write failure fixupPeter Zijlstra2006-09-261-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we can silently drop data if the write to swap failed. It usually doesn't result in data-corruption because on page-in the process will receive SIGBUS (assuming write-failure implies read-failure). This assumption might or might not be valid. This patch will avoid the page being discarded after a failed write. But will print a warning the sysadmin _should_ take to heart, if a lot of swap space becomes un-writeable, OOM is not far off. Tested by making the write fail 'randomly' once every 50 writes or so.

* [PATCH] slab: respect architecture and caller mandated alignmentPekka Enberg2006-09-261-9/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As explained by Heiko, on s390 (32-bit) ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to eight because their common I/O layer allocates data structures that need to have an eight byte alignment. This does not work when CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is enabled because kmem_cache_create will override alignment to BYTES_PER_WORD which is four. So change kmem_cache_create to ensure cache alignment is always at minimum what the architecture or caller mandates even if slab debugging is enabled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lock_page needs the caller to have a reference on the page->mapping inode due to sync_page, ergo set_page_dirty_lock is obviously buggy according to its comments. Solve it by introducing a new lock_page_nosync which does not do a sync_page. akpm: unpleasant solution to an unpleasant problem. If it goes wrong it could cause great slowdowns while the lock_page() caller waits for kblockd to perform the unplug. And if a filesystem has special sync_page() requirements (none presently do), permanent hangs are possible. otoh, set_page_dirty_lock() is usually (always?) called against userspace pages. They are always up-to-date, so there shouldn't be any pending read I/O against these pages.

* [PATCH] linearly index zone->node_zonelists[]Christoph Lameter2006-09-262-17/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I wonder why we need this bitmask indexing into zone->node_zonelists[]? We always start with the highest zone and then include all lower zones if we build zonelists. Are there really cases where we need allocation from ZONE_DMA or ZONE_HIGHMEM but not ZONE_NORMAL? It seems that the current implementation of highest_zone() makes that already impossible. If we go linear on the index then gfp_zone() == highest_zone() and a lot of definitions fall by the wayside. We can now revert back to the use of gfp_zone() in mempolicy.c ;-) Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The memory policy layer keeps a policy_zone that specifies the zone that gets memory policies applied. This variable can now be of type enum zone_type. The check_highest_zone function and the build_zonelists funnctionm must then also take a enum zone_type parameter. Plus there are a number of loops over zones that also should use zone_type. We run into some troubles at some points with functions that need a zone_type variable to become -1. Fix that up.

* [PATCH] mempolicies: fix policy_zone checkChristoph Lameter2006-09-262-17/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a check in zonelist_policy that compares pieces of the bitmap obtained from a gfp mask via GFP_ZONETYPES with a zone number in function zonelist_policy(). The bitmap is an ORed mask of __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32 and __GFP_HIGHMEM. The policy_zone is a zone number with the possible values of ZONE_DMA, ZONE_DMA32, ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_NORMAL. These are two different domains of values. For some reason seemed to work before the zone reduction patchset (It definitely works on SGI boxes since we just have one zone and the check cannot fail). With the zone reduction patchset this check definitely fails on systems with two zones if the system actually has memory in both zones. This is because ZONE_NORMAL is selected using no __GFP flag at all and thus gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 0. ZONE_DMA is selected when __GFP_DMA is set. __GFP_DMA is 0x01. So gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 1. policy_zone is set to ZONE_NORMAL (==1) if ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_DMA are populated. For ZONE_NORMAL gfp_zone(<no _GFP_DMA>) yields 0 which is < policy_zone(ZONE_NORMAL) and so policy is not applied to regular memory allocations! Instead gfp_zone(__GFP_DMA) == 1 which results in policy being applied to DMA allocations! What we realy want in that place is to establish the highest allowable zone for a given gfp_mask. If the highest zone is higher or equal to the policy_zone then memory policies need to be applied. We have such a highest_zone() function in page_alloc.c. So move the highest_zone() function from mm/page_alloc.c into include/linux/gfp.h. On the way we simplify the function and use the new zone_type that was also introduced with the zone reduction patchset plus we also specify the right type for the gfp flags parameter.

* [PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: page allocator ZONE_HIGHMEM cleanupChristoph Lameter2006-09-261-10/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | page allocator ZONE_HIGHMEM fixups 1. We do not need to do an #ifdef in si_meminfo since both counters in use are zero if !CONFIG_HIGHMEM. 2. Add #ifdef in si_meminfo_node instead to avoid referencing zone information for ZONE_HIGHMEM if we do not have HIGHMEM (may not be there after the following patches). 3. Replace the use of ZONE_HIGHMEM with MAX_NR_ZONES in build_zonelists_node 4. build_zonelists_node: Remove BUG_ON for ZONE_HIGHMEM. Zone will be optional soon and thus BUG_ON cannot be triggered anymore. 5. init_free_area_core: Replace a use of ZONE_HIGHMEM with NR_MAX_ZONES.

* [PATCH] mm: msync() cleanupPeter Zijlstra2006-09-261-163/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the tracking of dirty pages properly done now, msync doesn't need to scan the PTEs anymore to determine the dirty status. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> In looking to do that, I made some other tidyups: can remove several #includes, and sys_msync loop termination not quite right. Most of those points are criticisms of the existing sys_msync, not of your patch. In particular, the loop termination errors were introduced in 2.6.17: I did notice this shortly before it came out, but decided I was more likely to get it wrong myself, and make matters worse if I tried to rush a last-minute fix in. And it's not terribly likely to go wrong, nor disastrous if it does go wrong (may miss reporting an unmapped area; may also fsync file of a following vma).

This patch restores the old COW behaviour for anonymous pages.
