Pull ARM OMAP serial updates from Russell King:
 "This series is a major reworking of the OMAP serial driver code fixing
  various bugs in the hardware-assisted flow control, extending up into
  serial_core for a couple of issues.  These fixes have been done as a
  set of progressive changes and transformations in the hope that no new
  bugs will be introduced by this series.

  The problems are many-fold, from the driver not being informed about
  updated settings, to the driver not knowing what the intentions of the
  upper layers are.

  The first four patches tackle the serial_core layer, allowing it to
  provide the necessary information to drivers, and the remaining
  patches allow the OMAP serial driver to take advantage of this.

  This brings hardware assisted RTS/CTS and XON/OFF flow control into a
  useful state.

  These patches have been in linux-next for most of the last cycle;
  indeed they predate the previous merge window.  They've also been
  posted to the OMAP people."

 "This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
  x86, just like any other CPU.  Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.

  Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
  assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
  architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
  BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
  serviced on the BSP.

  It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
  allows the automatic testing of this feature.

  The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
  CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
  to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
  CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
  multi-socket system.

  Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
  because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
  the freshly powered up CPU#0.  Future patches for this are planned,
  once such a platform exists.  Chicken and egg"

nodes which is online but don't have any normal memory.  Example: it may

mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory

Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug.  This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore".  It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:

o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.

  Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
  "online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
  THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.

  Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
  to save/(reduce waste) memory.

  Memory capacity on Demand

o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
  "online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
  expected when we logic-online it.

  This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.

o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
  hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
  management).

(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)

Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.

When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.

Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.

mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.

The usage is

short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
...
compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);

to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.

This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value
prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.

To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags.  KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.

This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading
/proc/pid/oom_score.

mm: adjust address_space_operations.migratepage() return code

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a
guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced
number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.

This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue

Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.

Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,

12 years agomm: augment vma rbtree with rb_subtree_gap

mm: augment vma rbtree with rb_subtree_gap

Define vma->rb_subtree_gap as the largest gap between any vma in the
subtree rooted at that vma, and their predecessor.  Or, for a recursive
definition, vma->rb_subtree_gap is the max of:

 - vma->vm_start - vma->vm_prev->vm_end
 - rb_subtree_gap fields of the vmas pointed by vma->rb.rb_left and
   vma->rb.rb_right

This will allow get_unmapped_area_* to find a free area of the right
size in O(log(N)) time, instead of potentially having to do a linear
walk across all the VMAs.

Also define mm->highest_vm_end as the vm_end field of the highest vma,
so that we can easily check if the following gap is suitable.

This does have the potential to make unmapping VMAs more expensive,
especially for processes with very large numbers of VMAs, where the VMA
rbtree can grow quite deep.

12 years agomm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB

mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
others.  This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.

This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.

It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag.  When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
change fully compatible.

Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size.  When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.

The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there.  It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.

I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__).  Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined.  The interface should already
work for all other architectures though.  Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc).  However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
sizes, so it's not easy to add defines.  A program on those
architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

12 years agomm, oom: allow exiting threads to have access to memory reserves
David Rientjes [Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:01:30 +0000 (16:01 -0800)]
mm, oom: allow exiting threads to have access to memory reserves

Exiting threads, those with PF_EXITING set, can pagefault and require
memory before they can make forward progress.  This happens, for instance,
when a process must fault task->robust_list, a userspace structure, before
detaching its memory.

These threads also aren't guaranteed to get access to memory reserves
unless oom killed or killed from userspace.  The oom killer won't grant
memory reserves if other threads are also exiting other than current and
stalling at the same point.  This prevents needlessly killing processes
when others are already exiting.

Instead of special casing all the possible situations between PF_EXITING
getting set and a thread detaching its mm where it may allocate memory,
which probably wouldn't get updated when a change is made to the exit
path, the solution is to give all exiting threads access to memory
reserves if they call the oom killer.  This allows them to quickly
allocate, detach its mm, and free the memory it represents.

Summary of Luigi's bug report:

: He had an oom condition where threads were faulting on task->robust_list
: and repeatedly called the oom killer but it would defer killing a thread
: because it saw other PF_EXITING threads.  This can happen anytime we need
: to allocate memory after setting PF_EXITING and before detaching our mm;
: if there are other threads in the same state then the oom killer won't do
: anything unless one of them happens to be killed from userspace.
:
: So instead of only deferring for PF_EXITING and !task->robust_list, it's
: better to just give them access to memory reserves to prevent a potential
: livelock so that any other faults that may be introduced in the future in
: the exit path don't cause the same problem (and hopefully we don't allow
: too many of those!).

12 years agoslub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removing
Lai Jiangshan [Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:01:05 +0000 (16:01 -0800)]
slub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removing

SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory and it ignores the
other node's hot-adding and hot-removing.

Aka: if some memory of a node which has no onlined memory is online, but
this new memory onlined is not normal memory (for example, highmem), we
should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB.

And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memory,
we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node.  (The current code delays
it when all of the memory is offlined)

So we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0.
marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here.

The same problem doesn't exist in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3
for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates
kmem_list3 on alien nodes.  SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have
normal memory, it don't tolerate alien kmem_cache_node.  The patch makes
SLUB become self-compatible and avoids WARNs and BUGs in rare conditions.

12 years agomemory_hotplug: fix possible incorrect node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
Lai Jiangshan [Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:01:03 +0000 (16:01 -0800)]
memory_hotplug: fix possible incorrect node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]

Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it
forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].  This may cause
node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] to become incorrect.

Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory which is
in ZONE_NORMAL.  And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] is correct,
but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect, the online code doesn't set
the new online node to node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].

The same thing will happen when offlining (the offline code doesn't clear
the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed).  Some memory
managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], so we have to fix up
the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].

We add node_states_check_changes_online() and
node_states_check_changes_offline() to detect whether
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed
while hotpluging.

Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus the
memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are
changed.  (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of
introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more
complexity in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem.  So introducing
@status_change_nid_normal is better and it doesn't change the sematics of
@status_change_nid)
