[PATCH] mm: slab: eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab
Here's an attempt towards doing away with lock_cpu_hotplug in the slab
subsystem. This approach also fixes a bug which shows up when cpus are
being offlined/onlined and slab caches are being tuned simultaneously.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=
116098888100481&w=2
The patch has been stress tested overnight on a 2 socket 4 core AMD box with
repeated cpu online and offline, while dbench and kernbench process are
running, and slab caches being tuned at the same time.
There were no lockdep warnings either. (This test on 2,6.18 as 2.6.19-rc
crashes at __drain_pages
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=
116172164217678&w=2 )
The approach here is to hold cache_chain_mutex from CPU_UP_PREPARE until
CPU_ONLINE (similar in approach as worqueue_mutex) . Slab code sensitive
to cpu_online_map (kmem_cache_create, kmem_cache_destroy, slabinfo_write,
__cache_shrink) is already serialized with cache_chain_mutex. (This patch
lengthens cache_chain_mutex hold time at kmem_cache_destroy to cover this).
This patch also takes the cache_chain_sem at kmem_cache_shrink to protect
sanity of cpu_online_map at __cache_shrink, as viewed by slab.
(kmem_cache_shrink->__cache_shrink->drain_cpu_caches). But, really,
kmem_cache_shrink is used at just one place in the acpi subsystem! Do we
really need to keep kmem_cache_shrink at all?
Another note. Looks like a cpu hotplug event can send CPU_UP_CANCELED to
a registered subsystem even if the subsystem did not receive CPU_UP_PREPARE.
This could be due to a subsystem registered for notification earlier than
the current subsystem crapping out with NOTIFY_BAD. Badness can occur with
in the CPU_UP_CANCELED code path at slab if this happens (The same would
apply for workqueue.c as well). To overcome this, we might have to use either
a) a per subsystem flag and avoid handling of CPU_UP_CANCELED, or
b) Use a special notifier events like LOCK_ACQUIRE/RELEASE as Gautham was
using in his experiments, or
c) Do not send CPU_UP_CANCELED to a subsystem which did not receive
CPU_UP_PREPARE.
I would prefer c).

[PATCH] htlb forget rss with pt sharing
Imprecise RSS accounting is an irritating ill effect with pt sharing. After
consulted with several VM experts, I have tried various methods to solve that
problem: (1) iterate through all mm_structs that share the PT and increment
count; (2) keep RSS count in page table structure and then sum them up at
reporting time. None of the above methods yield any satisfactory
implementation.
Since process RSS accounting is pure information only, I propose we don't
count them at all for hugetlb page. rlimit has such field, though there is
absolutely no enforcement on limiting that resource. One other method is to
account all RSS at hugetlb mmap time regardless they are faulted or not. I
opt for the simplicity of no accounting at all.
Hugetlb page are special, they are reserved up front in global reservation
pool and is not reclaimable. From physical memory resource point of view, it
is already consumed regardless whether there are users using them.
If the concern is that RSS can be used to control resource allocation, we
already can specify hugetlb fs size limit and sysadmin can enforce that at
mount time. Combined with the two points mentioned above, I fail to see if
there is anything got affected because of this patch.

[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

The new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo. The old
algo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from
one task to another. This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in
need of the token. The urgency for the token is based on the number of times
a task is required to swap-in pages. Accordingly, the priority of a task is
incremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs. To ensure that
the token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority
boost. The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in's
keeps reducing. This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup
Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory
allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and
skipping them.
Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the
last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct,
to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.)
Recent changes:
This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I
posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of
recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones.
This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on
systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would
take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones
on that node were full.
Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache",
as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching
some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.)
See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that
discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got
some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case
of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little
microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and
(2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for
memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower
elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below.
I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various
full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be
fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan,
this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist().
There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier
proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa
emulation case by caching the last useful zone:
1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems)
have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist
was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before
we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have.
This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences
from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though.
The following approach should help such real numa systems just as
much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof.
2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance,
so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing
it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to
properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to
require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging.
The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or
zone sorting.
See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does.
Technical details of note (or controversy):
- See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay
adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the
first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone
having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just
look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking.
- Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while
not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c
code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this.
Search for "MPOL_BIND".
- Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently,
with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle
this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data,
and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling.
The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones'
(a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should
all be self correcting after at most a one second delay.
- This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All
I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically
shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned
short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should
cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another
one or two new and distinct cache lines.
- If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be
(pleasantly) flabbergasted.
- I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of
zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the
lie to that claim.
- I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance
hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped
over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think
that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the
spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node.

Notes:
1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of
threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of
the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop,
writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes.
Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see
each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for
the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread.
2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns.
The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning
to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total
CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run,
for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the
number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds.
3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount
of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize
the amount of background activity that might interfere.
4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM.
5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even
though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what
that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to
be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running
ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation
of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not.
6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs)
ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed
to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a
pleasantly parallizable workload.
7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing
them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist
caching patch.
Conclusions:
* This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the
other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid
heavy off node allocations.
* For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations
on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings
up to ten per-cent.
* For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to
Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

[PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]
The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.
In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.
The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.
For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

[PATCH] memory page alloc minor cleanups
- s/freeliest/freelist/ spelling fix
- Check for NULL *z zone seems useless - even if it could happen, so
what? Perhaps we should have a check later on if we are faced with an
allocation request that is not allowed to fail - shouldn't that be a
serious kernel error, passing an empty zonelist with a mandate to not
fail?
- Initializing 'z' to zonelist->zones can wait until after the first
get_page_from_freelist() fails; we only use 'z' in the wakeup_kswapd()
loop, so let's initialize 'z' there, in a 'for' loop. Seems clearer.
- Remove superfluous braces around a break
- Fix a couple errant spaces
- Adjust indentation on the cpuset_zone_allowed() check, to match the
lines just before it -- seems easier to read in this case.
- Add another set of braces to the zone_watermark_ok logic
From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>
Backout one item from a previous "memory page_alloc minor cleanups" patch.
Until and unless we are certain that no one can ever pass an empty zonelist
to __alloc_pages(), this check for an empty zonelist (or some BUG
equivalent) is essential. The code in get_page_from_freelist() blow ups if
passed an empty zonelist.

I was playing with blackfin when i hit a neat bug ... doing an open() on a
directory and then passing that fd to mmap() would cause the kernel to hang
after poking into the code a bit more, i found that
mm/nommu.c:validate_mmap_request() checks the length and if it is 0, just
returns the address ... this is in stark contrast to mmu's
mm/mmap.c:do_mmap_pgoff() where it returns -EINVAL for 0 length requests ...
i then noticed that some other parts of the logic is out of date between the
two funcs, so perhaps that's the easy fix ?

- adds a function to enable individual interrupt mode for externals
in the subtype code and calls that from the titan board code

done in sq_api_init(). This runs in to workloads where we can scan
beyond the end of the bitmap.

sh: More flexible + SH7780 earlyprintk SCIF support.
This makes the early printk support somewhat more flexible,
moving the port definition to a config option, and making the
port initialization configurable for sh-ipl+g users.
At the same time, this allows us to trivially wire up the
SH7780 SCIF0, so that's thrown in too more or less for free.

sh: Fixup various PAGE_SIZE == 4096 assumptions.
There were a number of places that made evil PAGE_SIZE == 4k
assumptions that ended up breaking when trying to play with
8k and 64k page sizes, this fixes those up.
The most significant change is the way we load THREAD_SIZE,
previously this was done via:
mov #(THREAD_SIZE >> 8), reg
shll8 reg
to avoid a memory access and allow the immediate load. With
a 64k PAGE_SIZE, we're out of range for the immediate load
size without resorting to special instructions available in
later ISAs (movi20s and so on). The "workaround" for this is
to bump up the shift to 10 and insert a shll2, which gives a
bit more flexibility while still being much cheaper than a
memory access.

sh: Fix syscall tracing ordering.
The implementation of system call tracing in the kernel has a
couple of ordering problems:
- the validity of the system call number is checked before
calling out to system call tracing code, and should be
done after
- the system call number used when tracing is the one the
system call was invoked with, while the system call tracing
code can legitimatly change the call number (for example
strace permutes fork into clone)
This patch fixes both of these problems, and also reoders the
code slightly to make the direct path through the code the
common case.
