2018-02-01mm: get 7% more pages in a pagevecMatthew Wilcox1-3/+3
We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can store it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have two or six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives us space to cram in an extra page.

2017-11-16mm, pagevec: rename pagevec drained fieldMel Gorman1-2/+2
According to Vlastimil Babka, the drained field in pagevec is potentially misleading because it might be interpreted as draining this pagevec instead of the percpu lru pagevecs. Rename the field for clarity.

2017-11-16mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecsMel Gorman1-3/+1
Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

2017-11-16mm: only drain per-cpu pagevecs once per pagevec usageMel Gorman1-1/+3
When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race, the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs costs. This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 batchshadow-v1r1 onedrain-v1r1 Min Time 141.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 0.00%) 1st-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 2nd-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 3rd-qrtle Time 143.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 0.00%) Max-90% Time 144.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 146.00 ( 0.00%) 145.00 ( 0.68%) Max-99% Time 198.00 ( 0.00%) 194.00 ( 2.02%) Max Time 254.00 ( 0.00%) 208.00 ( 18.11%) Amean Time 145.12 ( 0.00%) 144.30 ( 0.56%) Stddev Time 12.74 ( 0.00%) 9.62 ( 24.49%) Coeff Time 8.78 ( 0.00%) 6.67 ( 24.06%) Best99%Amean Time 144.29 ( 0.00%) 143.82 ( 0.32%) Best95%Amean Time 142.68 ( 0.00%) 142.31 ( 0.26%) Best90%Amean Time 142.52 ( 0.00%) 142.19 ( 0.24%) Best75%Amean Time 142.26 ( 0.00%) 141.98 ( 0.20%) Best50%Amean Time 141.90 ( 0.00%) 141.71 ( 0.13%) Best25%Amean Time 141.80 ( 0.00%) 141.43 ( 0.26%) The impact on bonnie is marginal and within the noise because a significant percentage of the file being truncated has been reclaimed and consists of shadow entries which reduce the hotness of the pagevec_release path.

2017-11-16mm: implement find_get_pages_range_tag()Jan Kara1-2/+9
Patch series "Ranged pagevec tagged lookup", v3. In this series I provide a ranged variant of pagevec_lookup_tag() and use it in places where it makes sense. This series removes some common code and it also has a potential for speeding up some operations similarly as for pagevec_lookup_range() (but for now I can think of only artificial cases where this happens). This patch (of 16): Implement a variant of find_get_pages_tag() that stops iterating at given index. Lots of users of this function (through pagevec_lookup()) actually want a range lookup and all of them are currently open-coding this. Also create corresponding pagevec_lookup_range_tag() function.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other than pages. The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return NULL for page cache holes, just as before. But provide a raw version of the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to use it.

2012-01-13mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stackHugh Dickins1-2/+0
Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release(). Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces (which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly, removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim. Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in deep backtraces. However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages (nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely compound case before putting on pages_to_free. Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru(). The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c, but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

2008-10-20Unevictable LRU InfrastructureLee Schermerhorn1-1/+0
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages, the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required, resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour. Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide" them from vmscan. Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable lru list. Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set. Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on. The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU. A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various !evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path. To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state, the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()' -- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable, putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the unevictable list.

2008-10-20vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file setsRik van Riel1-6/+23
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

2008-10-20vmscan: free swap space on swap-in/activationRik van Riel1-0/+1
If vm_swap_full() (swap space more than 50% full), the system will free swap space at swapin time. With this patch, the system will also free the swap space in the pageout code, when we decide that the page is not a candidate for swapout (and just wasting swap space).

2008-10-20swap: use an array for the LRU pagevecsKOSAKI Motohiro1-2/+11
Turn the pagevecs into an array just like the LRUs. This significantly cleans up the source code and reduces the size of the kernel by about 13kB after all the LRU lists have been created further down in the split VM patch series.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
