* mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zonesJiang Liu2013-07-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system. So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to: 1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init(). 2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

* memory-hotplug: common APIs to support page tables hot-removeWen Congyang2013-02-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be removed. This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing. All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other memory. So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page can be freed or not. 1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are filled with 0FD. 2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared. In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed. For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed their pagetables. And do not free the pages again because they were freed when offlining. For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables. For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is no way to know if the larger page has been split. As a result, there is no way to decide when to split. We deal the larger pages in the following way: 1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were offlined. And since menmory offline is done section by section, all the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE. So only need to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages. 2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD. And when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

* mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor sectionYinghai Lu2012-07-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit f5bf18fa22f8 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the section holding the usemap. The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a much higher address absent an upper limit. Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end, then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa22f8 of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

* mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the bootmem allocatorJohannes Weiner2012-05-291-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem. As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.

* mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hashTim Bird2012-05-241-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.

* memblock, x86: Make free_all_memory_core_early() explicitly free lowmem onlyTejun Heo2011-07-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nomemblock is currently used only by x86 and on x86_32 free_all_memory_core_early() silently freed only the low mem because get_free_all_memory_range() in arch/x86/mm/memblock.c implicitly limited range to max_low_pfn. Rename free_all_memory_core_early() to free_low_memory_core_early() and make it call __get_free_all_memory_range() and limit the range to max_low_pfn explicitly. This makes things clearer and also is consistent with the bootmem behavior. This leaves get_free_all_memory_range() without any user. Kill it.

* bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrappingTejun Heo2009-02-241-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be able to be used interchangeably. This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also, HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de>

* bootmem: clean up alloc_bootmem_coreJohannes Weiner2008-07-241-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a clean rewrite that keeps the semantics. bdata->last_pos has been dropped. bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather than its beginning. bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the node.

* Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle2008-02-071-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

* Revert "x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G"Linus Torvalds2007-10-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6. First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures, bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels. Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that this ever affected.

This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so far empty node. Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes. And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node. To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that does what its name implies. TBD should try to use nearby nodes here.
