| * | | mm: make vb_alloc() more foolproofJan Kara2012-07-311-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If someone calls vb_alloc() (or vm_map_ram() for that matter) to allocate 0 bytes (0 pages), get_order() returns BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT and interesting stuff happens. So make debugging such problems easier and warn about 0-size allocation.

| * | | vmalloc: walk vmap_areas by sorted list instead of rb_next()Hong zhi guo2012-07-311-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole. Could be simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list. More simpler and efficient. Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within __insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk. Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and rounds for hours.

| * | | uprobes: Remove insert_vm_struct()->uprobe_mmap()Oleg Nesterov2012-07-301-3/+0

It is not needed, nobody except arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c uses insert_vm_struct(vma) with vma->vm_file != NULL. And it is wrong. Again, get_user_pages() can not succeed before vma_link(vma) makes is visible to find_vma(). And even if this worked, we must not insert the new bp before this mapping is visible to vma_prio_tree_foreach() for uprobe_unregister().

| * | | uprobes: Remove copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap()Oleg Nesterov2012-07-301-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap(new_vma), it is absolutely wrong. This new_vma was just initialized to represent the new unmapped area, [vm_start, vm_end) was returned by get_unmapped_area() in the caller. This means that uprobe_mmap()->get_user_pages() will fail for sure, simply because find_vma() can never succeed. And I verified that sys_mremap()->mremap_to() indeed always fails with the wrong ENOMEM code if [addr, addr+old_len] is probed. And why this uprobe_mmap() was added? I believe the intent was wrong. Note that the caller is going to do move_page_tables(), all registered uprobes are already faulted in, we only change the virtual addresses. NOTE: However, somehow we need to close the race with uprobe_register() which relies on map_info->vaddr. This needs another fix I'll try to do later. Probably we need uprobe_mmap() in move_vma() but we can not do this right now, this can confuse uprobes_state.counter (which I still hope we are going to kill).

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.

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.

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.

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).

It also removes the special INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR interrupts (32 vectors!) and replace it with an ordinary IPI function call." Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h (added code next to changed line) * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/tlb: Fix build warning and crash when building for !SMP x86/tlb: do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg' x86/tlb: replace INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR by CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86 mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather x86/tlb: add tlb_flushall_shift knob into debugfs x86/tlb: add tlb_flushall_shift for specific CPU x86/tlb: fall back to flush all when meet a THP large page x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range x86/tlb_info: get last level TLB entry number of CPU x86: Add read_mostly declaration/definition to variables from smp.h x86: Define early read-mostly per-cpu macros
| * | | | | | | mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gatherAlex Shi2012-06-271-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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!
