Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

fs: introduce some page/buffer invariants

It is a bug to set a page dirty if it is not uptodate unless it has
buffers.  If the page has buffers, then the page may be dirty (some buffers
dirty) but not uptodate (some buffers not uptodate).  The exception to this
rule is if the set_page_dirty caller is racing with truncate or invalidate.

A buffer can not be set dirty if it is not uptodate.

If either of these situations occurs, it indicates there could be some data
loss problem.  Some of these warnings could be a harmless one where the
page or buffer is set uptodate immediately after it is dirtied, however we

Bring the order of operations for truncate into line with those of

we're holding the tree_lock, which is probably a good thing anyway.

SLUB: faster more efficient slab determination for __kmalloc

kmalloc_index is a long series of comparisons.  The attempt to replace
kmalloc_index with something more efficient like ilog2 failed due to compiler
issues with constant folding on gcc 3.3 / powerpc.

kmalloc_index()'es long list of comparisons works fine for constant folding
since all the comparisons are optimized away.  However, SLUB also uses
kmalloc_index to determine the slab to use for the __kmalloc_xxx functions.
This leads to a large set of comparisons in get_slab().

The patch here allows to get rid of that list of comparisons in get_slab():

1. If the requested size is larger than 192 then we can simply use
   fls to determine the slab index since all larger slabs are
   of the power of two type.

2. If the requested size is smaller then we cannot use fls since there
   are non power of two caches to be considered. However, the sizes are
   in a managable range. So we divide the size by 8. Then we have only
   24 possibilities left and then we simply look up the kmalloc index
   in a table.

A kernel convention for many allocators is that if __GFP_ZERO is passed to an
allocator then the allocated memory should be zeroed.

This is currently not supported by the slab allocators.  The inconsistency
makes it difficult to implement in derived allocators such as in the uncached
allocator and the pool allocators.

In addition the support zeroed allocations in the slab allocators does not
have a consistent API.  There are no zeroing allocator functions for NUMA node
placement (kmalloc_node, kmem_cache_alloc_node).  The zeroing allocations are
only provided for default allocs (kzalloc, kmem_cache_zalloc_node).
__GFP_ZERO will make zeroing universally available and does not require any
addititional functions.

So add the necessary logic to all slab allocators to support __GFP_ZERO.

The code is added to the hot path.  The gfp flags are on the stack and so the
cacheline is readily available for checking if we want a zeroed object.

Zeroing while allocating is now a frequent operation and we seem to be
gradually approaching a 1-1 parity between zeroing and not zeroing allocs.
The current tree has 3476 uses of kmalloc vs 2731 uses of kzalloc.

Lumpy Reclaim V4

When we are out of memory of a suitable size we enter reclaim.  The current
reclaim algorithm targets pages in LRU order, which is great for fairness at
order-0 but highly unsuitable if you desire pages at higher orders.  To get
pages of higher order we must shoot down a very high proportion of memory;
>95% in a lot of cases.

This patch set adds a lumpy reclaim algorithm to the allocator.  It targets
groups of pages at the specified order anchored at the end of the active and
inactive lists.  This encourages groups of pages at the requested orders to
move from active to inactive, and active to free lists.  This behaviour is
only triggered out of direct reclaim when higher order pages have been
requested.

This patch set is particularly effective when utilised with an
anti-fragmentation scheme which groups pages of similar reclaimability
together.

This patch set is based on Peter Zijlstra's lumpy reclaim V2 patch which forms
the foundation.  Credit to Mel Gorman for sanitity checking.

Mel said:

  The patches have an application with hugepage pool resizing.

  When lumpy-reclaim is used used with ZONE_MOVABLE, the hugepages pool can
  be resized with greater reliability.  Testing on a desktop machine with 2GB
  of RAM showed that growing the hugepage pool with ZONE_MOVABLE on it's own
  was very slow as the success rate was quite low.  Without lumpy-reclaim,
  each attempt to grow the pool by 100 pages would yield 1 or 2 hugepages.
  With lumpy-reclaim, getting 40 to 70 hugepages on each attempt was typical.

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone

The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
__GFP_MOVABLE.  This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
from either partition.  The patches may be applied with the list-based
anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.

The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
boot-time.  This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  Any range of pages
within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.

When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
things to consider.  First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64.  Second,
the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
NUMA nodes where possible.  If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.

By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
pinned and non-migratable (currently at least).  A sysctl is provided that
allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone.  This means that the huge
page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
the system assuming that pages are not mlocked.  Despite huge pages being
non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.

Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
review of the patches.

This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  This zone is only usable
by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE.  Hot-added
memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated

storage and discarding.

An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
__GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would

Fix read/truncate race

do_generic_mapping_read currently samples the i_size at the start and doesn't
do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load a page.  After
->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate may have caused that page
to be filled with zeros, and the read() call should not see these.

However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be called on
a page between the time that do_generic_mapping_read samples i_size and when
it finds that it has an uptodate page.  These include at least read-ahead and
possibly another thread performing a read.

So do_generic_mapping_read must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page.
 Thus the current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with
a sampling before the copy-out.

The same change applied to __generic_file_splice_read.

Note that this fixes any race with truncate_complete_page, but does not fix a
possible race with truncate_partial_page.  If a partial truncate happens after
do_generic_mapping_read samples i_size and before the copy_out, the nuls that
truncate_partial_page place in the page could be copied out incorrectly.

I think the best fix for that is to *not* zero out parts of the page in
truncate_partial_page, but rather to zero out the tail of a page when
increasing i_size.

Fix LDM for new field in the VOL5 VBLK.

Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista.

This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter
assignment from one or more volumes.  Doing this introduces a so far
unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which
causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM
fails to parse the disk altogether.  This patch teaches the driver about
this field.

Thanks got to Ashton Mills <amills@iinet.com.au> for reporting the
problem and working with me on getting it fixed.  It is now working for
him.
