Tom Zanussi [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:02:23 +0000 (01:02 -0800)]
[PATCH] relayfs: decouple buffer creation from inode creation

The patch series implementa or fixes 3 things that were specifically requested
or suggested by relayfs users:

- support for non-relay files (patches 1-6)

Currently, the relayfs API only supports the creation of directories
(relayfs_create_dir()) and relay files (relay_open()).  These patches adds
support for non-relay files (relayfs_create_file()).  This is so relayfs
applications can create 'control files' in relayfs itself rather than in /proc
or via a netlink channel, as is currently done in the relay-app examples.
Basically what this amounts to is exporting relayfs_create_file() with an
additional file_ops param that clients can use to supply file operations for
their own special-purpose files in relayfs.

- make exported relay file ops useful (patches 7-8)

The relayfs relay_file_operations have always been exported, the intent being
to make it possible to create relay files in other filesystems such as
debugfs.  The problem, though, is that currently the file operations are too
tightly coupled to relayfs to actually be used for this purpose.  This patch
fixes that by adding a couple of callback functions that allow a client to
hook into relay_open()/close() and supply the files that will be used to
represent the channel buffers; the default implementation if no callbacks are
defined is to create the files in relayfs.

- add an option to create global relay buffer (patches 9-10) The file creation
callback also supplies an optional param, is_global, that can be used by
clients to create a single global relayfs buffer instead of the default
per-cpu buffers.  This was suggested as being useful for certain debugging
applications where it's more convenient to be able to get all the data from a
single channel without having to go to the bother of dealing with per-cpu
files.

- cleanup, some renaming and Documentation updates (patches 11-12)

There were several comments that the use of netlink in the example code was
non-intuitive and in fact the whole relay-app business was needlessly
confusing.  Based on that feedback, the example code has been completely
converted over to relayfs control files as supported by this patch, and have
also been made completely self-contained.

The converted examples along with a couple of new examples that demonstrate
using exported relay files can be found in relay-apps tarball:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/relayfs/relay-apps-0.9.tar.gz?download

This patch:

Separate buffer create/destroy from inode create/destroy.  We want to be able
to associate other data and not just relay buffers with inodes.  Buffer
create/destroy is moved out of inode.c and into relayfs core code.

See mm/filemap.c:

And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

  - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error.

Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some
blocks.  So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate().

  - Add generic_cont_expand_simple().

The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
the block boundary.  With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.

And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the

18 years ago[PATCH] IRQ type flags
Russell King [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:02:07 +0000 (01:02 -0800)]
[PATCH] IRQ type flags

Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels.  For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.

Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:

err = request_irq(irq, ...);

set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);

However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.

Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt.  The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.

Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like.  The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

[PATCH] cpuset: migrate all tasks in cpuset at once

Given the mechanism in the previous patch to handle rebinding the per-vma
mempolicies of all tasks in a cpuset that changes its memory placement, it is
now easier to handle the page migration requirements of such tasks at the same
time.

The previous code didn't actually attempt to migrate the pages of the tasks in
a cpuset whose memory placement changed until the next time each such task
tried to allocate memory.  This was undesirable, as users invoking memory page
migration exected to happen when the placement changed, not some unspecified
time later when the task needed more memory.

It is now trivial to handle the page migration at the same time as the per-vma
rebinding is done.

The routine cpuset.c:update_nodemask(), which handles changing a cpusets
memory placement ('mems') now checks for the special case of being asked to
write a placement that is the same as before.  It was harmless enough before
to just recompute everything again, even though nothing had changed.  But page
migration is a heavy weight operation - moving pages about.  So now it is
worth avoiding that if asked to move a cpuset to its current location.

Paul Jackson [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:01:59 +0000 (01:01 -0800)]
[PATCH] cpuset: rebind vma mempolicies fix

Fix more of longstanding bug in cpuset/mempolicy interaction.

NUMA mempolicies (mm/mempolicy.c) are constrained by the current tasks cpuset
to just the Memory Nodes allowed by that cpuset.  The kernel maintains
internal state for each mempolicy, tracking what nodes are used for the
MPOL_INTERLEAVE, MPOL_BIND or MPOL_PREFERRED policies.

When a tasks cpuset memory placement changes, whether because the cpuset
changed, or because the task was attached to a different cpuset, then the
tasks mempolicies have to be rebound to the new cpuset placement, so as to
preserve the cpuset-relative numbering of the nodes in that policy.

An earlier fix handled such mempolicy rebinding for mempolicies attached to a
task.

This fix rebinds mempolicies attached to vma's (address ranges in a tasks
address space.) Due to the need to hold the task->mm->mmap_sem semaphore while
updating vma's, the rebinding of vma mempolicies has to be done when the
cpuset memory placement is changed, at which time mmap_sem can be safely
acquired.  The tasks mempolicy is rebound later, when the task next attempts
to allocate memory and notices that its task->cpuset_mems_generation is
out-of-date with its cpusets mems_generation.

Because walking the tasklist to find all tasks attached to a changing cpuset
requires holding tasklist_lock, a spinlock, one cannot update the vma's of the
affected tasks while doing the tasklist scan.  In general, one cannot acquire
a semaphore (which can sleep) while already holding a spinlock (such as
tasklist_lock).  So a list of mm references has to be built up during the
tasklist scan, then the tasklist lock dropped, then for each mm, its mmap_sem
acquired, and the vma's in that mm rebound.

Once the tasklist lock is dropped, affected tasks may fork new tasks, before
their mm's are rebound.  A kernel global 'cpuset_being_rebound' is set to
point to the cpuset being rebound (there can only be one; cpuset modifications
are done under a global 'manage_sem' semaphore), and the mpol_copy code that
is used to copy a tasks mempolicies during fork catches such forking tasks,
and ensures their children are also rebound.

When a task is moved to a different cpuset, it is easier, as there is only one
task involved.  It's mm->vma's are scanned, using the same
mpol_rebind_policy() as used above.

It may happen that both the mpol_copy hook and the update done via the
tasklist scan update the same mm twice.  This is ok, as the mempolicies of
each vma in an mm keep track of what mems_allowed they are relative to, and
safely no-op a second request to rebind to the same nodes.

[PATCH] cpuset: numa_policy_rebind cleanup

Cleanup, reorganize and make more robust the mempolicy.c code to rebind
mempolicies relative to the containing cpuset after a tasks memory placement
changes.

The real motivator for this cleanup patch is to lay more groundwork for the
upcoming patch to correctly rebind NUMA mempolicies that are attached to vma's
after the containing cpuset memory placement changes.

NUMA mempolicies are constrained by the cpuset their task is a member of.
When either (1) a task is moved to a different cpuset, or (2) the 'mems'
mems_allowed of a cpuset is changed, then the NUMA mempolicies have embedded
node numbers (for MPOL_BIND, MPOL_INTERLEAVE and MPOL_PREFERRED) that need to
be recalculated, relative to their new cpuset placement.

The old code used an unreliable method of determining what was the old
mems_allowed constraining the mempolicy.  It just looked at the tasks
mems_allowed value.  This sort of worked with the present code, that just
rebinds the -task- mempolicy, and leaves any -vma- mempolicies broken,
referring to the old nodes.  But in an upcoming patch, the vma mempolicies
will be rebound as well.  Then the order in which the various task and vma
mempolicies are updated will no longer be deterministic, and one can no longer
count on the task->mems_allowed holding the old value for as long as needed.
It's not even clear if the current code was guaranteed to work reliably for
task mempolicies.

So I added a mems_allowed field to each mempolicy, stating exactly what
mems_allowed the policy is relative to, and updated synchronously and reliably
anytime that the mempolicy is rebound.

Also removed a useless wrapper routine, numa_policy_rebind(), and had its
caller, cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), call directly to the rewritten
policy_rebind() routine, and made that rebind routine extern instead of
static, and added a "mpol_" prefix to its name, making it
mpol_rebind_policy().

    that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero.  So only
    systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.

Why a per-cpuset, running average:

    Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm, the
    system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this metric is
    sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of the tasklist can be
    avoided on each set of queries.

    Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
    counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a single
    read, instead of having to read and accumulate results for a period of
    time.

    Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm, the
    batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory pressure in a
    cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to query and accumulate
    results over all the (dynamically changing) set of tasks in the cpuset.

A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words of data
per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that cpuset, if it
enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.

A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by the tasks
in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second, times 1000.

18 years ago[PATCH] cpuset: better bitmap remap defaults
Paul Jackson [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:01:46 +0000 (01:01 -0800)]
[PATCH] cpuset: better bitmap remap defaults

Fix the default behaviour for the remap operators in bitmap, cpumask and
nodemask.

As previously submitted, the pair of masks <A, B> defined a map of the
positions of the set bits in A to the corresponding bits in B.  This is still
true.

The issue is how to map the other positions, corresponding to the unset (0)
bits in A.  As previously submitted, they were all mapped to the first set bit
position in B, a constant map.

When I tried to code per-vma mempolicy rebinding using these remap operators,
I realized this was wrong.

This patch changes the default to map all the unset bit positions in A to the
same positions in B, the identity map.

For example, if A has bits 4-7 set, and B has bits 9-12 set, then the map
defined by the pair <A, B> maps each bit position in the first 32 bits as
follows:

0 ==> 0
  ...
3 ==> 3
4 ==> 9
  ...
7 ==> 12
8 ==> 8
9 ==> 9
  ...
31 ==> 31

This now corresponds to the typical behaviour desired when migrating pages and
policies from one cpuset to another.

The pages on nodes within the original cpuset, and the references in memory
policies to nodes within the original cpuset, are migrated to the
corresponding cpuset-relative nodes in the destination cpuset.  Other pages
and node references are left untouched.

[PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator

configurable replacement for slab allocator

This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  When CONFIG_SLAB is
disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator.

SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer,
similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced.  It's
signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient.  But like all
similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more
than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems.

It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree.  I've also
stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not
recommended).

Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving
