* mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreakPeter Zijlstra2011-05-258-188/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh says: "The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? " Counter points: - cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched()) - zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim ever can I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it. Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3c ("mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that caused its problem.

* lockdep, mutex: provide mutex_lock_nest_lockPeter Zijlstra2011-05-253-8/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to convert i_mmap_lock to a mutex we need a mutex equivalent to spin_lock_nest_lock(), thus provide the mutex_lock_nest_lock() annotation. As with spin_lock_nest_lock(), mutex_lock_nest_lock() allows annotation of the locking pattern where an outer lock serializes the acquisition order of nested locks. That is, if every time you lock multiple locks A, say A1 and A2 you first acquire N, the order of acquiring A1 and A2 is irrelevant.

* mm: mmu_gather reworkPeter Zijlstra2011-05-255-65/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

* mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()Michal Hocko2011-05-254-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.

* mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocksJohannes Weiner2011-05-251-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vmap allocator is used to, among other things, allocate per-cpu vmap blocks, where each vmap block is naturally aligned to its own size. Obviously, leaving a guard page after each vmap area forbids packing vmap blocks efficiently and can make the kernel run out of possible vmap blocks long before overall vmap space is exhausted. The new interface to map a user-supplied page array into linear vmalloc space (vm_map_ram) insists on allocating from a vmap block (instead of falling back to a custom area) when the area size is below a certain threshold. With heavy users of this interface (e.g. XFS) and limited vmalloc space on 32-bit, vmap block exhaustion is a real problem. Remove the guard page from the core vmap allocator. vmalloc and the old vmap interface enforce a guard page on their own at a higher level. Note that without this patch, we had accidental guard pages after those vm_map_ram areas that happened to be at the end of a vmap block, but not between every area. This patch removes this accidental guard page only. If we want guard pages after every vm_map_ram area, this should be done separately. And just like with vmalloc and the old interface on a different level, not in the core allocator. Mel pointed out: "If necessary, the guard page could be reintroduced as a debugging-only option (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC?). Otherwise it seems reasonable."

* oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes2011-05-255-14/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty. It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages. PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task. This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a high priority for oom killing.

* x86,mm: make pagefault killableKOSAKI Motohiro2011-05-253-8/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the following two points. 1) __alloc_pages_nodemask 2) __lock_page_or_retry 1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation failure and getting out from page allocator. 2) is more problematic. In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO performance. When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly, meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the oom-killer killing it. Then, the system may become livelocked. This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.

* mm: nommu: sort mm->mmap list properlyNamhyung Kim2011-05-254-45/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree in an unusual way. IIUC, because there can be more than one identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more strictly and does a linear search on the tree. But it doesn't applied to the list (i.e. the list could be constructed in a different order than the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that order). Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order. And linear searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it can be converted to use the list. Also, after the commit 297c5eee3724 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need to be fixed to construct the list properly. Patch 1/6 is a preparation. It maintains the list sorted same as the tree and construct doubly-linked list properly. Patch 2/6 is a simple optimization for the vma deletion. Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups. This patch: @vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm. However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list. This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list(). After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by using @mm->mmap list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we only change vma->vm_end, we can avoid taking anon_vma lock even if 'insert' isn't NULL, which is the case of split_vma. As I understand it, we need the lock before because rmap must get the 'insert' VMA when we adjust old VMA's vm_end (the 'insert' VMA is linked to anon_vma list in __insert_vm_struct before). But now this isn't true any more. The 'insert' VMA is already linked to anon_vma list in __split_vma(with anon_vma_clone()) instead of __insert_vm_struct. There is no race rmap can't get required VMAs. So the anon_vma lock is unnecessary, and this can reduce one locking in brk case and improve scalability.

This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been reported on some laptops that kswapd is consuming large amounts of CPU and not being scheduled when SLUB is enabled during large amounts of file copying. It is expected that this is due to kswapd missing every cond_resched() point because; shrink_page_list() calls cond_resched() if inactive pages were isolated which in turn may not happen if all_unreclaimable is set in shrink_zones(). If for whatver reason, all_unreclaimable is set on all zones, we can miss calling cond_resched(). balance_pgdat() only calls cond_resched if the zones are not balanced. For a high-order allocation that is balanced, it checks order-0 again. During that window, order-0 might have become unbalanced so it loops again for order-0 and returns that it was reclaiming for order-0 to kswapd(). It can then find that a caller has rewoken kswapd for a high-order and re-enters balance_pgdat() without ever calling cond_resched(). shrink_slab only calls cond_resched() if we are reclaiming slab pages. If there are a large number of direct reclaimers, the shrinker_rwsem can be contended and prevent kswapd calling cond_resched(). This patch modifies the shrink_slab() case. If the semaphore is contended, the caller will still check cond_resched(). After each successful call into a shrinker, the check for cond_resched() remains in case one shrinker is particularly slow.

* mm: vmscan: correct use of pgdat_balanced in sleeping_prematurelyJohannes Weiner2011-05-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few reports of people experiencing hangs when copying large amounts of data with kswapd using a large amount of CPU which appear to be due to recent reclaim changes. SLUB using high orders is the trigger but not the root cause as SLUB has been using high orders for a while. The root cause was bugs introduced into reclaim which are addressed by the following two patches. Patch 1 corrects logic introduced by commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the node is balanced") to allow kswapd to go to sleep when balanced for high orders. Patch 2 notes that it is possible for kswapd to miss every cond_resched() and updates shrink_slab() so it'll at least reach that scheduling point. Chris Wood reports that these two patches in isolation are sufficient to prevent the system hanging. AFAIK, they should also resolve similar hangs experienced by James Bottomley. This patch: Johannes Weiner poined out that the logic in commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the node is balanced") is backwards. Instead of allowing kswapd to go to sleep when balancing for high order allocations, it keeps it kswapd running uselessly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 442b06bcea23 ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which unlocks the current slab used for allocation. Going to the label 'unlock_out' then does it again. Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the 'unlock_out' path does. We always fall back to the slow path in the debug case. So the tid update is useless. Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations. Also a pretty useless thing. So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

| | | | * mach-ux500: set proper I2C platform data from MOP500sLinus Walleij2011-05-251-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This specifies the new per-platform timeout per I2C bus and switches the I2C buses to fast mode, and increase the FIFO depth to 8 for reads and writes.
