17 years agoremove ZERO_PAGE
Nick Piggin [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:40 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
remove ZERO_PAGE

The commit b5810039a54e5babf428e9a1e89fc1940fabff11 contains the note

  A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap
  (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to
  the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big
  systems.  There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is
  an issue.

And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).

There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely

I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.

Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).

As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.

When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.

Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.

The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked.  I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks.  All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

17 years agoSLUB: direct pass through of page size or higher kmalloc requests
Christoph Lameter [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:38 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
SLUB: direct pass through of page size or higher kmalloc requests

This gets rid of all kmalloc caches larger than page size.  A kmalloc
request larger than PAGE_SIZE > 2 is going to be passed through to the page
allocator.  This works both inline where we will call __get_free_pages
instead of kmem_cache_alloc and in __kmalloc.

kfree is modified to check if the object is in a slab page. If not then
the page is freed via the page allocator instead. Roughly similar to what
SLOB does.

Advantages:
- Reduces memory overhead for kmalloc array
- Large kmalloc operations are faster since they do not
  need to pass through the slab allocator to get to the
  page allocator.
- Performance increase of 10%-20% on alloc and 50% on free for
  PAGE_SIZEd allocations.
  SLUB must call page allocator for each alloc anyways since
  the higher order pages which that allowed avoiding the page alloc calls
  are not available in a reliable way anymore. So we are basically removing
  useless slab allocator overhead.
- Large kmallocs yields page aligned object which is what
  SLAB did. Bad things like using page sized kmalloc allocations to
  stand in for page allocate allocs can be transparently handled and are not
  distinguishable from page allocator uses.
- Checking for too large objects can be removed since
  it is done by the page allocator.

Drawbacks:
- No accounting for large kmalloc slab allocations anymore
- No debugging of large kmalloc slab allocations.

17 years agoreadahead: basic support of interleaved reads
Fengguang Wu [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:34 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
readahead: basic support of interleaved reads

This is a simplified version of the pagecache context based readahead.  It
handles the case of multiple threads reading on the same fd and invalidating
each others' readahead state.  It does the trick by scanning the pagecache and
recovering the current read stream's readahead status.

The algorithm works in a opportunistic way, in that it does not try to detect
interleaved reads _actively_, which requires a probe into the page cache
(which means a little more overhead for random reads).  It only tries to
handle a previously started sequential readahead whose state was overwritten
by another concurrent stream, and it can do this job pretty well.

Negative and positive examples(or what you can expect from it):

1) it cannot detect and serve perfect request-by-request interleaved reads
   right:
time stream 1  stream 2
0  1
1            1001
2  2
3            1002
4  3
5            1003
6  4
7            1004
8  5
9           1005

Here no single readahead will be carried out.

2) However, if it's two concurrent reads by two threads, the chance of the
   initial sequential readahead be started is huge. Once the first sequential
   readahead is started for a stream, this patch will ensure that the readahead
   window continues to rampup and won't be disturbed by other streams.

time stream 1  stream 2
0  1
1  2
2            1001
3  3
4            1002
5            1003
6  4
7  5
8            1004
9  6
10           1005
11 7
12           1006
13           1007

Here stream 1 will start a readahead at page 2, and stream 2 will start its
first readahead at page 1003.  From then on the two streams will be served
right.

vmemmap: generify initialisation via helpers

Convert the common vmemmap population into initialisation helpers for use by
architecture vmemmap populators.  All architecture implementing the
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP variant supply an architecture specific vmemmap_populate()
initialiser, which may make use of the helpers.

This allows us to clean up and remove the initialisation Kconfig entries.

indicate use of that variant.

Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM

SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all
the arches.  It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get
rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps.  So far
what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces
for virt_to_page and page_address.  This goes so far that the code to do this
has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.

This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
physically backed.  This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
simple shift/add operations.  No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
involving memory is required.

The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:

   #define __pfn_to_page(pfn)      (vmemmap + (pfn))
   #define __page_to_pfn(page)     ((page) - vmemmap)

By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
wasting physical memory.  As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
this introduces no additional overhead.  The virtual mapping must be big
enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
physical pages.  This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.

However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e.  true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry.  vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.

This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems.  It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms.  Then we may even be able to remove the other memory

This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':

    cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
    we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.

    If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
    for each processor as it comes online.

    This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
    has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
    and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed

17 years agowake up from a serial port
Guennadi Liakhovetski [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:02 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
wake up from a serial port

Enable wakeup from serial ports, make it run-time configurable over sysfs,
e.g.,

echo enabled > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/tty/ttyS0/power/wakeup

Requires

# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set

Following suggestions from Alan and Russell moved the may_wake_up checks
to serial_core.c. This time actually tested - it does even work. Could
someone, please, verify, that put_device after device_find_child is
correct?

Also would be nice to test with a Natsemi UART, that can wake up the system,
if such systems exist.

For this you just have to apply the patch below, issue the above "echo"
command to one of your Natsemi port, suspend and resume your system, and
verify that your Natsemi port still works.  If you are actually capable of
waking up the system from that port, would be nice to test that as well.

Recently I've been trying to get working PCMCIA interface on H5000 ipaq
series, using dual PCMCIA sleeve.  So far things work correctly, but I had

working with orinoco gold PCMCIA card (wired pcnet_cs ethernet card worked
even without this modification).

The issue has something to do with assert time on PCMCIA bus, but I'm not
really sure what -- I found the working value just by trial&error approach.
 I'm not sure how is the assert value in pxa2xx_mcxx_asst calculated (I
know, simple formula, but the reason why is it calculated that way is not

[TG3]: Fix performance regression on 5705.

A performance regression was introduced by the following commit:

    commit ee6a99b539a50b4e9398938a0a6d37f8bf911550
    Author: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>
    Date:   Wed Jul 18 21:49:10 2007 -0700

    [TG3]: Fix msi issue with kexec/kdump.

In making that change, the PCI latency timer and cache line size
registers were not restored after chip reset.  On the 5705, the
latency timer gets reset to 0 during chip reset and this causes
very poor performance.

Update version to 3.84.

17 years ago[NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily
Herbert Xu [Mon, 15 Oct 2007 08:47:15 +0000 (01:47 -0700)]
[NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily

TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header.  This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.

I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned.  The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
uncover bugs later.
