2011-06-16mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30KOSAKI Motohiro1-1/+1
Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236) that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB). He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on a very traditional single-process model. * a master process which reads config files and manages the other process * multiple imapd processes, one per connection * multiple pop3d processes, one per connection * multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection * periodical "cleanup" processes. There are thousands of independent processes. The problem is, recent Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional prefork model software don't work well on it. Unfortunatelly, such models are still typical even in the 21st century. We can't ignore them. This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30. 30 doesn't have any specific meaning. but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional servers as above. The intention is that these machines don't use zone_reclaim_mode. Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions. This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior. Dave Hansen said: : I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information : in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode : behavior which that implies. : : They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks : to make sure that they _want_ this turned on. What this means for them : is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of : the kernel. : : If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we : should do. Have a list of specific configurations that need the : defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an : unusual hardware configuration not really reflected in the distance : table. And later said: : The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a : benchmark. Said benchmark isn't going to get run on mainline until the : next batch of enterprise distros drops, at which point the hardware where : this was done will be irrelevant for the benchmark. I'm sure any new : hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to : make the kernel do what it wants. :) : : Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained. So, I : guess I'm getting my way now, with this patch. I'm cool with it.

2011-06-16vmscan: implement swap token priority agingKOSAKI Motohiro2-8/+23
While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they never release a token. Why? Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting. And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process often get a token. And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path. Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable. This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load) Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-06-16vmscan,memcg: memcg aware swap tokenKOSAKI Motohiro5-36/+85
Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then system may become unresponsive. That's bad. This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

2011-06-15Btrfs: set no_trans_join after trying to expand the transactionJosef Bacik1-3/+11
We can lockup if we try to allow new writers join the transaction and we have flushoncommit set or have a pending snapshot. This is because we set no_trans_join and then loop around and try to wait for ordered extents again. The problem is the ordered endio stuff needs to join the transaction, which it can't do because no_trans_join is set. So instead wait until after this loop to set no_trans_join and then make sure to wait for num_writers == 1 in case anybody got started in between us exiting the loop and setting no_trans_join. This could easily be reproduced by mounting -o flushoncommit and running xfstest 13. It cannot be reproduced with this patch.

Then client ends up losing what it just writes back in pNFS path. So we should skip updating client file size if file needs layoutcommit.

2011-06-15fbdev: sh_mobile_hdmi: fix regression: statically enable RTPMGuennadi Liakhovetski1-13/+5
A recent modification to the runtime PM code on mach-shmobile made a wrong RTPM implementation in the sh_mobile_hdmi driver apparent, which broke HDMI hotplug detection support on ap4evb. This patch does not implement a proper dynamic RTPM support for sh_mobile_hdmi, instead it restores the previous working state by statically enabling it. A more power-efficient solution should be implemented for the next kernel version. Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2011-06-15rcu: Use softirq to address performance regressionShaohua Li8-6/+35
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

Make the functions creating the kthreads wake them up. Leverage the fact that the per-node and boost kthreads can run anywhere, thus dispensing with the need to wake them up once the incoming CPU has gone fully online. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-06-15x86 idle: APM requires pm_idle/default_idle unconditionally when a moduleAndy Whitcroft1-2/+2
[ Also from Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and Vitaliy Ivanov <vitalivanov@gmail.com> ] Commit 06ae40ce073d ("x86 idle: EXPORT_SYMBOL(default_idle, pm_idle) only when APM demands it") removed the export for pm_idle/default_idle unless the apm module was modularised and CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE was set. But the apm module uses pm_idle/default_idle unconditionally, CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE only affects the bios idle threshold. Adjust the export accordingly.
