2012-07-09mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common code for kmem_cache_create()Christoph Lameter5-31/+83
Kmem_cache_create() does a variety of sanity checks but those vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

2012-07-09slub: remove invalid reference to list iterator variableJulia Lawall1-1/+1
If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head, and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after the end of the iterator. The patch replaces s->name by al->name, which is referenced nearby.

2012-07-02slab: move FULL state transition to an initcallGlauber Costa1-4/+4
During kmem_cache_init_late(), we transition to the LATE state, and after some more work, to the FULL state, its last state This is quite different from slub, that will only transition to its last state (previously SYSFS), in a (late)initcall, after a lot more of the kernel is ready. This means that in slab, we have no way to taking actions dependent on the initialization of other pieces of the kernel that are supposed to start way after kmem_init_late(), such as cgroups initialization. To achieve more consistency in this behavior, that patch only transitions to the UP state in kmem_init_late. In my analysis, setup_cpu_cache() should be happy to test for >= UP, instead of == FULL. It also has passed some tests I've made. We then only mark FULL state after the reap timers are in place, meaning that no further setup is expected.

This patch enabled the tlb flush range support in generic mmu layer. Most of arch has self tlb flush range support, like ARM/IA64 etc. X86 arch has no this support in hardware yet. But another instruction 'invlpg' can implement this function in some degree. So, enable this feather in generic layer for x86 now. and maybe useful for other archs in further. Generic mmu_gather struct is protected by micro HAVE_GENERIC_MMU_GATHER. Other archs that has flush range supported own self mmu_gather struct. So, now this change is safe for them. In future we may unify this struct and related functions on multiple archs. Thanks for Peter Zijlstra time and time reminder for multiple architecture code safe!

2012-06-21mm/memblock: fix overlapping allocation when doubling reserved arrayGreg Pearson1-4/+32
__alloc_memory_core_early() asks memblock for a range of memory then try to reserve it. If the reserved region array lacks space for the new range, memblock_double_array() is called to allocate more space for the array. If memblock is used to allocate memory for the new array it can end up using a range that overlaps with the range originally allocated in __alloc_memory_core_early(), leading to possible data corruption. With this patch memblock_double_array() now calls memblock_find_in_range() with a narrowed candidate range (in cases where the reserved.regions array is being doubled) so any memory allocated will not overlap with the original range that was being reserved. The range is narrowed by passing in the starting address and size of the previously allocated range. Then the range above the ending address is searched and if a candidate is not found, the range below the starting address is searched.

2012-06-20slub: refactoring unfreeze_partials()Joonsoo Kim1-34/+14
Current implementation of unfreeze_partials() is so complicated, but benefit from it is insignificant. In addition many code in do {} while loop have a bad influence to a fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab. Under current implementation which test status of cpu partial slab and acquire list_lock in do {} while loop, we don't need to acquire a list_lock and gain a little benefit when front of the cpu partial slab is to be discarded, but this is a rare case. In case that add_partial is performed and cmpxchg_double_slab is failed, remove_partial should be called case by case. I think that these are disadvantages of current implementation, so I do refactoring unfreeze_partials(). Minimizing code in do {} while loop introduce a reduced fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab. Below is output of 'slabinfo -r kmalloc-256' when './perf stat -r 33 hackbench 50 process 4000 > /dev/null' is done. ** before ** Cmpxchg_double Looping ------------------------ Locked Cmpxchg Double redos 182685 Unlocked Cmpxchg Double redos 0 ** after ** Cmpxchg_double Looping ------------------------ Locked Cmpxchg Double redos 177995 Unlocked Cmpxchg Double redos 1 We can see cmpxchg_double_slab fail rate is improved slightly.

2012-06-20slab/mempolicy: always use local policy from interrupt contextAndi Kleen3-4/+10
slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context. However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy is first freed and then the pointer zeroed. Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change. Just disable this here and always use local for slab from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit which always passed the same argument. I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact, so it's likely a regression. v2: send version with correct logic v3: simplify. fix typo.

2012-06-16swap: fix shmem swapping when more than 8 areasHugh Dickins1-8/+4
Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM. Whoops. Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry( swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating it there. Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was truncated. Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header(). This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0 on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB per swapfile on i386 with PAE. It's not a change I would have risked five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's appropriate now. Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap offset check. Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

2012-06-14mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cacheChristoph Lameter3-107/+99
Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

2012-06-14slob: Define page struct fields used in mm_types.hChristoph Lameter1-58/+37
Define the fields used by slob in mm_types.h and use struct page instead of struct slob_page in slob. This cleans up numerous of typecasts in slob.c and makes readers aware of slob's use of page struct fields. [Also cleans up some bitrot in slob.c. The page struct field layout in slob.c is an old layout and does not match the one in mm_types.h] Reviewed-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reviewed-by: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
2012-06-13splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet1-1/+2
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

2012-06-11mm: frontswap: remove unnecessary check during initializationSasha Levin1-2/+1
The check whether frontswap is enabled or not is done in the API functions in the frontswap header, before they are passed to the internal double-underscored frontswap functions. Remove the check from __frontswap_init for consistency.

2012-06-09mm, oom: fix badness score underflowDavid Rientjes1-2/+2
If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit a7f638f999ff ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only for userspace"). Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

2012-06-08memblock: Document memblock_is_region_{memory,reserved}()Stephen Boyd1-0/+20
At first glance one would think that memblock_is_region_memory() and memblock_is_region_reserved() would be implemented in the same way. Unfortunately they aren't and the former returns whether the region specified is a subset of a memory bank while the latter returns whether the region specified intersects with reserved memory. Document the two functions so that users aren't tempted to make the implementation the same between them and to clarify the purpose of the functions.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/mm Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages. In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead of a swap disk. This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with some changes to the existing backends." Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code changing a line next to the new frontswap entry. This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had actual users. Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE users. Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it too. So in it goes.
