* remove div_long_long_remRoman Zippel2008-05-011-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that the divide doesn't overflow. The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and produces worse code on 64bit archs. There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few users to the new API.

* infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objectsThomas Gleixner2008-04-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Makes /sys/kernel/slab/<slabname>/order writable. The allocation order of a slab cache can then be changed dynamically during runtime. This can be used to override the objects per slabs value establisheed with the slub_min_objects setting that was manually specified or calculated on bootup. The changes of the slab order can occur while allocate_slab() runs. Allocate slab needs the order and the number of slab objects that are both changed by the change of order. Both are put into a single word (struct kmem_cache_order_objects). They can then be atomically updated and retrieved.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If any higher order allocation fails then fall back the smallest order necessary to contain at least one object. This enables fallback for all allocations to order 0 pages. The fallback will waste more memory (objects will not fit neatly) and the fallback slabs will be not as efficient as larger slabs since they contain less objects. Note that SLAB also depends on order 1 allocations for some slabs that waste too much memory if forced into PAGE_SIZE'd page. SLUB now can now deal with failing order 1 allocs which SLAB cannot do. Add a new field min that will contain the objects for the smallest possible order for a slab cache.

* | mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idxMel Gorman2008-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

* | mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP maskMel Gorman2008-04-281-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64 bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly 2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB). Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
* slub statistics: Fix check for DEACTIVATE_REMOTE_FREESChristoph Lameter2008-03-061-1/+1

* slub: fix possible NULL pointer dereferenceCyrill Gorcunov2008-03-031-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | This patch fix possible NULL pointer dereference if kzalloc failed. To be able to return proper error code the function return type is changed to ssize_t (according to callees and sysfs definitions).

* slub: Remove BUG_ON() from ksize and omit checks for !SLUB_DEBUGChristoph Lameter2008-03-031-4/+2
| | | | | | | | The BUG_ONs are useless since the pointer derefs will lead to NULL deref errors anyways. Some of the checks are not necessary if no debugging is possible. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

* slub: Remove objsize check in kmem_cache_flags()Christoph Lameter2008-03-031-23/+4
| | | | | | | | | | There is no page->offset anymore and also no associated limit on the number of objects. The page->offset field was removed for 2.6.24. So the check in kmem_cache_flags() is now also obsolete (should have been dropped earlier, somehow a hunk vanished).

* slub: rename slab_objects to show_slab_objectsChristoph Lameter2008-03-031-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | The sysfs callback is better named show_slab_objects since it is always called from the xxx_show callbacks. We need the name for other purposes later. Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
* Revert "unique end pointer" patchChristoph Lameter2008-03-031-47/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | This only made sense for the alternate fastpath which was reverted last week. Mathieu is working on a new version that addresses the fastpath issues but that new code first needs to go through mm and it is not clear if we need the unique end pointers with his new scheme.
