* [PATCH] Direct Migration V9: remove_from_swap() to remove swap ptesChristoph Lameter2006-02-011-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add remove_from_swap remove_from_swap() allows the restoration of the pte entries that existed before page migration occurred for anonymous pages by walking the reverse maps. This reduces swap use and establishes regular pte's without the need for page faults.

* [PATCH] Direct Migration V9: migrate_pages() extensionChristoph Lameter2006-02-011-9/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add direct migration support with fall back to swap. Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility. This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout). Fall back to swap out if necessary. The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible. Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file backed pages.

* [PATCH] mm: migration page refcounting fixNick Piggin2006-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Migration code currently does not take a reference to target page properly, so between unlocking the pte and trying to take a new reference to the page with isolate_lru_page, anything could happen to it.

* [PATCH] temporarily disable swap token on memory pressureRik van Riel2005-11-281-16/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even when there is still a lot of swap free. The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the system that is swappable. Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds. This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logicLinus Torvalds2005-11-281-12/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] unpaged: anon in VM_UNPAGEDHugh Dickins2005-11-221-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED area, zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them: just like ordinary pages, not like the unpaged. But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no longer a condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem (whether the distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that architecture, is another matter). So if we can see a PageAnon, it may not be ours to mess with (or may be ours from elsewhere in the address space). I suspect there's an entertaining insoluble self-referential problem here, but the page_is_anon function does a good practical job, and MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE VM_UNPAGED will always be an odd choice. In updating the comment on page_address_in_vma, noticed a potential NULL dereference, in a path we don't actually take, but fixed it.

* [PATCH] unpaged: VM_NONLINEAR VM_RESERVEDHugh Dickins2005-11-221-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's one peculiar use of VM_RESERVED which the previous patch left behind: because VM_NONLINEAR's try_to_unmap_cluster uses vm_private_data as a swapout cursor, but should never meet VM_RESERVED vmas, it was a way of extending VM_NONLINEAR to VM_RESERVED vmas using vm_private_data for some other purpose. But that's an empty set - they don't have the populate function required. So just throw away those VM_RESERVED tests. But one more interesting in rmap.c has to go too: try_to_unmap_one will want to swap out an anonymous page from VM_RESERVED or VM_UNPAGED area.

Definitions by courtesy of Christoph Lameter: who spent considerable effort on more scalable ways of counting, but found insufficient benefit in practice.

* [PATCH] mm: split page table lockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

* [PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in timeHugh Dickins2005-10-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.

* [PATCH] core remove PageReservedNick Piggin2005-10-291-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

* [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rssHugh Dickins2005-10-291-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as possible. So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss and in anon_rss. Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some configurations. Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics. And update anon_rss upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

* [PATCH] swaptoken tuningRik Van Riel2005-10-291-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page fault. This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the page fault code does. This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and "turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding the token is thrashing. Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing control concept. The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but still a big win over running without the swap token. 2.6.12+ swap token disabled $ for i in `seq 10` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 101.74user 23.13system 8:26.91elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (38597major+430315minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.98user 24.91system 8:03.06elapsed 26%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (33939major+430457minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.93user 22.12system 7:34.90elapsed 27%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (33166major+421267minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.82user 22.38system 8:31.40elapsed 24%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (39338major+433262minor)pagefaults 0swaps 2.6.12+ swap token enabled, timeout 300 seconds $ for i in `seq 4` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 102.58user 16.08system 3:41.44elapsed 53%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19707major+285786minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.07user 19.56system 4:00.64elapsed 50%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19012major+299259minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.64user 18.25system 4:07.31elapsed 48%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (21990major+304831minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.39user 19.41system 5:15.81elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (24850major+323321minor)pagefaults 0swaps 2.6.12+ with new swap token code, timeout 300 seconds $ for i in `seq 4` ; do /usr/bin/time ./qsbench -n 30000000 -p 3 ; done 101.87user 24.66system 5:53.20elapsed 35%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (26848major+363497minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.83user 19.95system 4:17.25elapsed 47%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (19946major+305722minor)pagefaults 0swaps 102.09user 19.46system 5:12.57elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (25461major+334994minor)pagefaults 0swaps 101.67user 20.61system 4:52.97elapsed 41%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (22190major+329508minor)pagefaults 0swaps Signed-off-by: Rik Van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+deviceHugh Dickins2005-09-051-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all, is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split. The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series). valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere overhead in the common case of a single swap device. So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock (generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro). If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as to help the case of the single swap device too.

* [PATCH] can_share_swap_page: use page_mapcountHugh Dickins2005-06-211-21/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mm/rmap.c:page_referenced_one() and mm/rmap.c:try_to_unmap_one() contain identical code that - takes mm->page_table_lock; - drills through page tables; - checks that correct pte is reached. Coalesce this into page_check_address() Signed-off-by: Nikita Danilov <nikita@clusterfs.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
