Adding this symbol does not conflict with the architctures that already define their own symbol.

When enabled, memblock also carries NUMA node information and replaces early_node_map[]. Newly added memblocks have MAX_NUMNODES as nid. Arch can then call memblock_set_node() to set node information. memblock takes care of merging and node affine allocations w.r.t. node information. When MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, early_node_map[], related data structures and functions to manipulate and iterate it are disabled. memblock version of __next_mem_pfn_range() is provided such that for_each_mem_pfn_range() behaves the same and its users don't have to be updated. -v2: Yinghai spotted section mismatch caused by missing __init_memblock in memblock_set_node().

* mm: cleancache core ops functions and configDan Magenheimer2011-05-261-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also includes build and config patches. Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h. Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off. However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

* mm: compaction: don't depend on HUGETLB_PAGEAndrea Arcangeli2011-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5d6892407 ("thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled") causes this warning during the configuration process: warning: (TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) selects COMPACTION which has unmet direct dependencies (EXPERIMENTAL && HUGETLB_PAGE && MMU) COMPACTION doesn't depend on HUGETLB_PAGE, it doesn't depend on THP either, it is also useful for regular alloc_pages(order > 0) including the very kernel stack during fork (THREAD_ORDER = 1). It's always better to enable COMPACTION. The warning should be an error because we would end up with MIGRATION not selected, and COMPACTION wouldn't work without migration (despite it seems to build with an inline migrate_pages returning -ENOSYS). I'd also like to remove EXPERIMENTAL: compaction has been in the kernel for some releases (for full safety the default remains disabled which I think is enough).

* thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabledAndrea Arcangeli2011-01-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With transparent hugepage support we need compaction for the "defrag" sysfs controls to be effective. At the moment THP hangs the system if COMPACTION isn't selected, as without COMPACTION lumpy reclaim wouldn't be entirely disabled. So at the moment it's not orthogonal. When lumpy will be removed from the VM I can remove the select COMPACTION in theory, but then 99% of THP users would be still doing a mistake in disabling compaction, even if the mistake won't return in fatal runtime but just slightly degraded performance. So from a theoretical standpoing forcing the below select is not needed (the dependency isn't strict nor at compile time nor at runtime) but from a practical standpoint it is safer. If anybody really wants THP to run without compaction, it'd be such a weird setup that editing the Kconfig file to allow it will be surely not a problem.

| * percpu: use percpu allocator on UP tooTejun Heo2010-09-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc. This has the following problems. * For certain amount of allocations (determined by PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is brought online. On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel memory allocator. * percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc() doesn't. For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for cpu_workqueues. Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently, which is somewhat fragile and ugly. Other than small amount of memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP. It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added for SMP archs w/o MMUs. This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and makes UP build use percpu-km. As percpu addresses and kernel addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | COMPACTION enables MIGRATION, but MIGRATION spawns a warning if numa or memhotplug aren't selected. However MIGRATION doesn't depend on them.

* mm: allow CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA or memory hot-removeMel Gorman2010-05-251-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_MIGRATION currently depends on CONFIG_NUMA or on the architecture being able to hot-remove memory. The main users of page migration such as sys_move_pages(), sys_migrate_pages() and cpuset process migration are only beneficial on NUMA so it makes sense. As memory compaction will operate within a zone and is useful on both NUMA and non-NUMA systems, this patch allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set if the user selects CONFIG_COMPACTION as an option.

* mm: stop ptlock enlarging struct pageHugh Dickins2009-12-151-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds 12 or 16 bytes to a 32- or 64-bit spinlock_t, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC adds another 12 or 24 bytes to it: lockdep enables both of those, and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT adds 8 or 16 bytes to that. When 2.6.15 placed the split page table lock inside struct page (usually sized 32 or 56 bytes), only CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK was a possibility, and we ignored the enlargement (but fitted in CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's 4 by letting the spinlock_t occupy both page->private and page->mapping). Should these debugging options be allowed to double the size of a struct page, when only one minority use of the page (as a page table) needs to fit a spinlock in there? Perhaps not. Take the easy way out: switch off SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is in force. I've sometimes tried to be cleverer, kmallocing a cacheline for the spinlock when it doesn't fit, but given up each time. Falling back to mm->page_table_lock (as we do when ptlock is not split) lets lockdep check out the strictest path anyway. And now that some arches allow 8192 cpus, use 999999 for infinity. (What has this got to do with KSM swapping? It doesn't care about the size of struct page, but may care about random junk in page->mapping - to be explained separately later.)

This is obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in the same image. After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in process. It was also working for s390 before. This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against hibernation. Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and hibernation.

The goal is to prevent everyone from accessing these pages in the future. This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page it is. The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c To quote the overview comment: High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache failure. This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background. When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead when that happens another machine check will happen. Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere, possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the error handling takes potentially a long time. Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected to be rare we hope we can get away with this. There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison: - just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before killing - kill as soon as corruption is detected. Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill The default is early kill. The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways Includes contributions from Johannes Weiner, Chris Mason, Fengguang Wu, Nick Piggin (who did a lot of great work) and others.

When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than pretending that they can be serviced. But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not touch (e.g. hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings). Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory. Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it. Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting. Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.

* nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurableDavid Howells2009-05-061-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting of this variable a Kconfig configuration option. The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a power of 2. There are two alternatives: (1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever. (2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be reused fairly quickly. During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs grow greatly during this time. By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot. A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

* Unevictable LRU InfrastructureLee Schermerhorn2008-10-201-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
