It's common practice to msync a large address range regularly, in which
often only a few ptes have actually been dirtied since the previous pass.sync_pte_range then goes much faster if it tests whether pte is dirty
before locating and accessing each struct page cacheline; and it is hardly
slowed by ptep_clear_flush_dirty repeating that test in the opposite case,
when every pte actually is dirty.But beware, s390's pte_dirty always says false, since its dirty bit is kept
in the storage key, located via the struct page address. So skip this
optimization in its case: use a pte_maybe_dirty macro which just says true
if page_test_and_clear_dirty is implemented.Signed-off-by: Abhijit Karmarkar

Remember that ironic get_user_pages race? when the raised page_count on a
page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so
substituted a different page into userspace. 2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's
solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised.Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics),
and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test. A
year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix.So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in
unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping
swapoff to make progress in that case.Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check
page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize
their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that.In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to
keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

A small optimization to do_wp_page's check for whether to avoid copy by
reusing the page already mapped. It can never share a cached file page,
nor can it share a reserved page (often the empty zero page), so it's a
waste of time to lock and unlock in those cases. Which nowadays can both
be neatly excluded by a preliminary PageAnon test.Christoph has reported that a preliminary page_count test proved valuable
for scalability here, but PageAnon covers more common cases all at once.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

Since its birth, get_user_pages has been calling a misguided get_page_map
function. follow_page has already returned NULL if the pfn is invalid, we
cannot reach an invalid pfn from a validated struct page.Remove get_page_map, and the messy rewind in get_user_pages to cope with
its failure. Oh, and could we please call that "struct page *page" like
everywhere else, instead of "struct page *map"?Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

Strict mbind's check for currently mapped pages being on node has been
using a slow loop which re-evaluates pgd, pud, pmd, pte for each entry:
replace that by a standard four-level page table walk like others in mm.
Since mmap_sem is held for writing, page_table_lock can be taken at the

To improve shmem scalability, we allowed tmpfs instances which don't need
their blocks or inodes limited not to count them, and not to allocate any
sbinfo. Which was okay when the only use for the sbinfo was accounting
blocks and inodes; but since then a couple of unrelated projects extending
tmpfs want to store other data in the sbinfo. Whether either extension
reaches mainline is beside the point: I'm guilty of a bad design decision,
and should restore sbinfo to make any such future extensions easier.So, once again allocate a shmem_sb_info for every shmem/tmpfs instance, and
now let max_blocks 0 indicate unlimited blocks, and max_inodes 0 unlimited
inodes. Brent Casavant verified (many months ago) that this does not
perceptibly impact the scalability (since the unlimited sbinfo cacheline is
repeatedly accessed but only once dirtied).And merge shmem_set_size into its sole caller shmem_remount_fs.

Reduce size of the huge per_cpu_pageset structure in __initdata introduced
into mm1 with the pageset localization patchset. Use one specially
configured pageset per cpu for all zones and nodes during bootup.- Avoid duplication of pageset initialization code.
- do the adding to the pageset list before potential free_pages_bulk
in free_hot_cold_page (otherwise we would have to hold a page
in a pageset during the period that the boot pagesets are in use).
- remove mistaken __cpuinitdata attribute and revert back to __initdata
for the boot pageset. A boot pageset is not necessary for cpu hotplug.Tested for UP SMP NUMA on x86_64 (2.6.12-rc6-mm1): UP SMP NUMA Tested on

The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large
NUMA systems. F.e. on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there
will be 256*512 pagesets. If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are
talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in
potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets. The typical
cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of
memory being trapped in off node pagesets. Off node memory may be rarely
used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in
seldom used pagesets without this patch.The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds. The
following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by
tying into the slab flush.The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages
currently in each pageset.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

The topdown changes in 2.6.12-rc1 can cause large allocations with large
stack limit to fail, despite there being space available. The
mmap_base-len is only valid when len >= mmap_base. However, nothing in
topdown allocator checks this. It's only (now) caught at higher level,
which will cause allocation to simply fail. The following change restores
the fallback to bottom-up path, which will allow large allocations with
large stack limit to potentially still succeed.Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Wander

This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.
Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.AIM7 benchmark on a 32 CPU SGI Altix

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this
patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back
onto another zone.One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator
behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be
off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a
per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch
4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j"
kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on
average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench

or off on a per-zone basis using a syscall. I haven't tested the x86
syscall, so it might be wrong. It uses the existing reclaim/pageout
code with the small addition of a may_swap flag to scan_control
(patch 1/4).I also added __GFP_NORECLAIM (patch 3/4) so that certain allocation
types can be flagged to never cause reclaim. This was a deficiency
that was in all of my earlier patch sets. Previously, doing a big
buffered read would fill one zone with page cache and then start to
reclaim from that same zone, leaving the other zones untouched.Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch

Fix a problem identified by Andrea Arcangeli
kswapd will set a zone into all_unreclaimable state if it sees that we're not
successfully reclaiming LRU pages. But that fails to notice that we're
successfully reclaiming slab obects, so we can set all_unreclaimable too soon.So change shrink_slab() to return a success indication if it actually
reclaimed some objects, and don't assume that the zone is all_unreclaimable if
that is true. This means that we won't enter all_unreclaimable state if we
are successfully freeing slab objects but we're not yet actually freeing slab
pages, due to internal fragmentation.(hm, this has a shortcoming. We could be successfully freeing ZONE_NORMAL
slab objects while being really oom on ZONE_DMA. If that happens then kswapd
might burn a lot of CPU. But given that there might be some slab objects in
ZONE_DMA, perhaps that is appropriate.)Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

try_to_unmap_cluster() does:
for (pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address);
address < end; pte++, address += PAGE_SIZE) {
...
}pte_unmap(pte);
It may take a little staring to notice, but pte can actually fall off the
end of the pte page in this iteration, which makes life difficult for
kmap_atomic() and the users not expecting it to BUG(). Of course, we're
somewhat lucky in that arithmetic elsewhere in the function guarantees that
at least one iteration is made, lest this force larger rearrangements to be
made. This issue and patch also apply to non-mm mainline and with trivial
adjustments, at least two related kernels.Discovered during internal testing at Oracle.

I came across the following problem while running ltp-aiodio testcases from
ltp-full-20050405 on linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I tried running the tests with
EXT3 as well as JFS filesystems.One or two fsx-linux testcases were hung after some time. These testcases
were hanging at wait_for_all_aios().Debugging shows that there were some iocbs which were not getting completed
eventhough the last retry for those returned -EIOCBQUEUED. Also all such
pending iocbs represented READ operation.Further debugging revealed that all such iocbs hit EOF in the DIO layer.
To be more precise, the "pos" from which they were trying to read was
greater than the "size" of the file. So the generic_file_direct_IO
returned 0.This happens rarely as there is already a check in
__generic_file_aio_read(), for whether "pos" < "size" before calling direct
IO routine.>size = i_size_read(inode);
>if (pos < size) {
> retval = generic_file_direct_IO(READ, iocb,
> iov, pos, nr_segs);But for READ, we are taking the inode->i_sem only in the DIO layer. So it
is possible that some other process can change the size of the file before
we take the i_sem. In such a case ( when "pos" > "size"), the
__generic_file_aio_read() would return -EIOCBQUEUED even though there were
no I/O requests submitted by the DIO layer. This would cause the AIO layer
to expect aio_complete() for THE iocb, which doesnot happen. And thus the
test hangs forever, waiting for an I/O completion, where there are no
requests submitted at all.The following patch makes __generic_file_aio_read() return 0 (instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED), on getting 0 from generic_file_direct_IO(), so
that the AIO layer does the aio_complete().Testing:

linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I ran the ltp-aiodio testcases and none of the
fsx-linux tests hung. Also the aio-stress tests ran without any problem.Signed-off-by: Suzuki K P

Caused oopses again. Also fix potential mismatch in checking if
change_page_attr was needed.To do it without races I needed to change mm/vmalloc.c to export a
__remove_vm_area that does not take vmlist lock.Noticed by Terence Ripperda and based on a patch of his.

As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless
of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area()
slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.

Prevent the topdown allocator from allocating mmap areas all the way
down to address zero.We still allow a MAP_FIXED mapping of page 0 (needed for various things,
ranging from Wine and DOSEMU to people who want to allow speculative
loads off a NULL pointer).Tested by Chris Wright.

There is a bug in do_swap_page(): when swap page happens to be unreadable,
page filled with random data is mapped into user address space. The fix is
to check for PageUptodate and send SIGBUS in case of error.Signed-Off-By: Kirill Korotaev
