From d85f33855c303acfa87fa457157cef755b6087df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:49:39 -0700 Subject: Make page->private usable in compound pages 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. The RFC for the this approach was discussed at http://marc.info/?t=117574302800001&r=1&w=2 [nacc@us.ibm.com: fix hugetlbfs] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/ia64/mm/init.c | 2 +- fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c | 2 +- include/linux/mm.h | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/page-flags.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ mm/internal.h | 2 +- mm/page_alloc.c | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++--------- mm/slab.c | 6 ++---- mm/slub.c | 19 ++++--------------- mm/swap.c | 2 +- 9 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/ia64/mm/init.c b/arch/ia64/mm/init.c index 4f36987eea72..2da841110727 100644 --- a/arch/ia64/mm/init.c +++ b/arch/ia64/mm/init.c @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ lazy_mmu_prot_update (pte_t pte) return; /* i-cache is already coherent with d-cache */ if (PageCompound(page)) { - order = (unsigned long) (page[1].lru.prev); + order = compound_order(page); flush_icache_range(addr, addr + (1UL << order << PAGE_SHIFT)); } else diff --git a/fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c b/fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c index 9ba71b252f3e..8e1b7825e2f3 100644 --- a/fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c @@ -450,7 +450,7 @@ static int hugetlbfs_symlink(struct inode *dir, */ static int hugetlbfs_set_page_dirty(struct page *page) { - struct page *head = (struct page *)page_private(page); + struct page *head = compound_head(page); SetPageDirty(head); return 0; diff --git a/include/linux/mm.h b/include/linux/mm.h index c95d96ebd5ad..8c149fa4491d 100644 --- a/include/linux/mm.h +++ b/include/linux/mm.h @@ -267,17 +267,28 @@ static inline int get_page_unless_zero(struct page *page) return atomic_inc_not_zero(&page->_count); } +static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page) +{ + /* + * We could avoid the PageCompound(page) check if + * we would not overload PageTail(). + * + * This check has to be done in several performance critical + * paths of the slab etc. IMHO PageTail deserves its own flag. + */ + if (unlikely(PageCompound(page) && PageTail(page))) + return page->first_page; + return page; +} + static inline int page_count(struct page *page) { - if (unlikely(PageCompound(page))) - page = (struct page *)page_private(page); - return atomic_read(&page->_count); + return atomic_read(&compound_head(page)->_count); } static inline void get_page(struct page *page) { - if (unlikely(PageCompound(page))) - page = (struct page *)page_private(page); + page = compound_head(page); VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) == 0); atomic_inc(&page->_count); } @@ -314,6 +325,18 @@ static inline compound_page_dtor *get_compound_page_dtor(struct page *page) return (compound_page_dtor *)page[1].lru.next; } +static inline int compound_order(struct page *page) +{ + if (!PageCompound(page) || PageTail(page)) + return 0; + return (unsigned long)page[1].lru.prev; +} + +static inline void set_compound_order(struct page *page, unsigned long order) +{ + page[1].lru.prev = (void *)order; +} + /* * Multiple processes may "see" the same page.
