flush icache before set_pte() on ia64: flush icache at set_pte

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte().  This is too late.  This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.

This patch flush icache of a page when
new pte has exec bit.
&& new pte has present bit
&& new pte is user's page.
&& (old *ptep is not present
            || new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
   Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.

I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".

pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.

make swappiness safer to use

Swappiness isn't a safe sysctl.  Setting it to 0 for example can hang a
system.  That's a corner case but even setting it to 10 or lower can waste
enormous amounts of cpu without making much progress.  We've customers who
wants to use swappiness but they can't because of the current
implementation (if you change it so the system stops swapping it really
stops swapping and nothing works sane anymore if you really had to swap
something to make progress).

This patch from Kurt Garloff makes swappiness safer to use (no more huge
cpu usage or hangs with low swappiness values).

I think the prev_priority can also be nuked since it wastes 4 bytes per
zone (that would be an incremental patch but I wait the nr_scan_[in]active
to be nuked first for similar reasons).  Clearly somebody at some point
noticed how broken that thing was and they had to add min(priority,
prev_priority) to give it some reliability, but they didn't go the last
mile to nuke prev_priority too.  Calculating distress only in function of
not-racy priority is correct and sure more than enough without having to
add randomness into the equation.

Patch is tested on older kernels but it compiles and it's quite simple
so...

Overall I'm not very satisified by the swappiness tweak, since it doesn't
rally do anything with the dirty pagecache that may be inactive.  We need
another kind of tweak that controls the inactive scan and tunes the
can_writepage feature (not yet in mainline despite having submitted it a
few times), not only the active one.  That new tweak will tell the kernel
how hard to scan the inactive list for pure clean pagecache (something the
mainline kernel isn't capable of yet).  We already have that feature
working in all our enterprise kernels with the default reasonable tune, or
they can't even run a readonly backup with tar without triggering huge
write I/O.  I think it should be available also in mainline later.

Categorize GFP flags

The function of GFP_LEVEL_MASK seems to be unclear.  In order to clear up
the mystery we get rid of it and replace GFP_LEVEL_MASK with 3 sets of GFP
flags:

GFP_RECLAIM_MASK Flags used to control page allocator reclaim behavior.

GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK Flags used to limit where allocations can occur.

GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK Flags that the slab allocator BUG()s on.

These replace the uses of GFP_LEVEL mask in the slab allocators and in
vmalloc.c.

The use of the flags not included in these sets may occur as a result of a
slab allocation standing in for a page allocation when constructing scatter
gather lists.  Extraneous flags are cleared and not passed through to the
page allocator.  __GFP_MOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE, __GFP_COLD and __GFP_COMP will
now be ignored if passed to a slab allocator.

Change the allocation of allocator meta data in SLAB and vmalloc to not
pass through flags listed in GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK.  SLAB already removes the
__GFP_THISNODE flag for such allocations.  Generalize that to also cover
vmalloc.  The use of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK also includes __GFP_HARDWALL.

The impact of allocator metadata placement on access latency to the
cachelines of the object itself is minimal since metadata is only
referenced on alloc and free.  The attempt is still made to place the meta
data optimally but we consistently allow fallback both in SLAB and vmalloc
(SLUB does not need to allocate metadata like that).

Allocator metadata may serve multiple in kernel users and thus should not
be subject to the limitations arising from a single allocation context.

memoryless nodes: fixup uses of node_online_map in generic code

Here's a cut at fixing up uses of the online node map in generic code.

mm/shmem.c:shmem_parse_mpol()

Ensure nodelist is subset of nodes with memory.
Use node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] as default for missing
nodelist for interleave policy.

mm/shmem.c:shmem_fill_super()

initialize policy_nodes to node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]

mm/page-writeback.c:highmem_dirtyable_memory()

sum over nodes with memory

mm/page_alloc.c:zlc_setup()

allowednodes - use nodes with memory.

mm/page_alloc.c:default_zonelist_order()

average over nodes with memory.

mm/page_alloc.c:find_next_best_node()

skip nodes w/o memory.
N_HIGH_MEMORY state mask may not be initialized at this time,
unless we want to depend on early_calculate_totalpages() [see
below].  Will ZONE_MOVABLE ever be configurable?

mm/page_alloc.c:find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()

spread kernelcore over nodes with memory.

This required calling early_calculate_totalpages()
unconditionally, and populating N_HIGH_MEMORY node
state therein from nodes in the early_node_map[].
If we can depend on this, we can eliminate the
population of N_HIGH_MEMORY mask from __build_all_zonelists()
and use the N_HIGH_MEMORY mask in find_next_best_node().

mm/mempolicy.c:mpol_check_policy()

Ensure nodes specified for policy are subset of
nodes with memory.

Memoryless nodes: Use N_HIGH_MEMORY for cpusets

cpusets try to ensure that any node added to a cpuset's mems_allowed is

Memoryless nodes: Fix GFP_THISNODE behavior

GFP_THISNODE checks that the zone selected is within the pgdat (node) of the
first zone of a nodelist.  That only works if the node has memory.  A
memoryless node will have its first node on another pgdat (node).

GFP_THISNODE currently will return simply memory on the first pgdat.  Thus it
is returning memory on other nodes.  GFP_THISNODE should fail if there is no
local memory on a node.

Add a new set of zonelists for each node that only contain the nodes that
belong to the zones itself so that no fallback is possible.

Then modify gfp_type to pickup the right zone based on the presence of
__GFP_THISNODE.

Drop the existing GFP_THISNODE checks from the page_allocators hot path.

Online nodes now may have no memory.  The checks and initialization must

This will correctly initialize the interleave on bootup to only target nodes

moved to a memoryless node.  Similarly we will get an error if MPOL_BIND and
MPOL_INTERLEAVE is used on a memoryless node.

These are somewhat new semantics.  So far one could specify memoryless nodes
and we would maybe do the right thing and just ignore the node (or we'd do
something strange like with MPOL_INTERLEAVE).  If we want to allow the

Memoryless nodes: Fix interleave behavior for memoryless nodes

MPOL_INTERLEAVE currently simply loops over all nodes.  Allocations on
memoryless nodes will be redirected to nodes with memory.  This results in an
imbalance because the neighboring nodes to memoryless nodes will get

We can avoid this imbalance by clearing the nodes in the interleave node set
that have no memory.  If we use the node map of the memory nodes instead of

Memoryless nodes: introduce mask of nodes with memory

It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to
add support for memoryless nodes.  For that purpose we introduce a two new
node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY.

A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the
type of mmemory.  If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined
in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself.

A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than
ZONE_HIGHMEM.  This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not
subject to kmap.

N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure
that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.

Memoryless nodes: Generic management of nodemasks for various purposes

Why do we need to support memoryless nodes?

This patch:

Preparation for memoryless node patches.

Provide a generic way to keep nodemasks describing various characteristics of
NUMA nodes.

Remove the node_online_map and the node_possible map and realize the same
functionality using two nodes stats: N_POSSIBLE and N_ONLINE.

mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks

Modify the core write() code so that it won't take a pagefault while holding a
lock on the pagecache page. There are a number of different deadlocks possible
if we try to do such a thing:

1.  generic_buffered_write
2.   lock_page
3.    prepare_write
4.     unlock_page+vmtruncate
5.     copy_from_user
6.      mmap_sem(r)
7.       handle_mm_fault
8.        lock_page (filemap_nopage)
9.    commit_write
10.  unlock_page

a. sys_munmap / sys_mlock / others
b.  mmap_sem(w)
c.   make_pages_present
d.    get_user_pages
e.     handle_mm_fault
f.      lock_page (filemap_nopage)

2,8 - recursive deadlock if page is same
2,8;2,8 - ABBA deadlock is page is different
2,6;b,f - ABBA deadlock if page is same

The solution is as follows:
1.  If we find the destination page is uptodate, continue as normal, but use
    atomic usercopies which do not take pagefaults and do not zero the uncopied
    tail of the destination. The destination is already uptodate, so we can
    commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not
    matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written
    back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the
    destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk).

1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access
    information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between
    non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping.

2.  If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be
    made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the
    source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy.
    However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data
    from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space.

(also, rename maxlen to seglen, because it was confusing)

This increases the CPU/memory copy cost by almost 50% on the affected
workloads. That will be solved by introducing a new set of pagecache write
aops in a subsequent patch.

mm: buffered write cleanup

Quite a bit of code is used in maintaining these "cached pages" that are
probably pretty unlikely to get used. It would require a narrow race where
the page is inserted concurrently while this process is allocating a page
in order to create the spare page. Then a multi-page write into an uncached

Next, the buffered write path (and others) uses its own LRU pagevec when it
should be just using the per-CPU LRU pagevec (which will cut down on both data

emptied after just a very short time, in contrast with the per-CPU pagevecs
that are persistent. Net result: 7.3 times fewer lru_lock acquisitions required
to add the pages to pagecache for a bulk write (in 4K chunks).

Revert "[PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): deadlock on vectored write"

This reverts commit 6527c2bdf1f833cc18e8f42bd97973d583e4aa83, which
fixed the following bug:

  When prefaulting in the pages in generic_file_buffered_write(), we only
  faulted in the pages for the firts segment of the iovec.  If the second of
  successive segment described a mmapping of the page into which we're
  write()ing, and that page is not up-to-date, the fault handler tries to lock
  the already-locked page (to bring it up to date) and deadlocks.

  An exploit for this bug is in writev-deadlock-demo.c, in
  http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.

  (These demos assume blocksize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE).

The problem with this fix is that it takes the kernel back to doing a single
prepare_write()/commit_write() per iovec segment.  So in the worst case we'll
run prepare_write+commit_write 1024 times where we previously would have run
it once. The other problem with the fix is that it fix all the locking problems.

<insert numbers obtained via ext3-tools's writev-speed.c here>

And apparently this change killed NFS overwrite performance, because, I
suppose, it talks to the server for each prepare_write+commit_write.

So just back that patch out - we'll be fixing the deadlock by other means.

Nick says: also it only ever actually papered over the bug, because after
faulting in the pages, they might be unmapped or reclaimed.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page

While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just
after swap-out started.

The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail
of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is
acquired every page writeback .  This deteriorates system performance and
makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started.

Following patch solves this problem.  I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable
pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time.

mm: prevent kswapd from freeing excessive amounts of lowmem

The current VM can get itself into trouble fairly easily on systems with a
small ZONE_HIGHMEM, which is common on i686 computers with 1GB of memory.

On one side, page_alloc() will allocate down to zone->pages_low, while on
the other side, kswapd() and balance_pgdat() will try to free memory from
every zone, until every zone has more free pages than zone->pages_high.

Highmem can be filled up to zone->pages_low with page tables, ramfs,
vmalloc allocations and other unswappable things quite easily and without
many bad side effects, since we still have a huge ZONE_NORMAL to do future
allocations from.

However, as long as the number of free pages in the highmem zone is below
zone->pages_high, kswapd will continue swapping things out from
ZONE_NORMAL, too!

Sami Farin managed to get his system into a stage where kswapd had freed
about 700MB of low memory and was still "going strong".

The attached patch will make kswapd stop paging out data from zones when
there is more than enough memory free.  We do go above zone->pages_high in
order to keep pressure between zones equal in normal circumstances, but the
patch should prevent the kind of excesses that made Sami's computer totally
unusable.

fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c

A while back, Nick Piggin introduced a patch to reduce the node memory
usage for small files (commit cfd9b7df4abd3257c9e381b0e445817b26a51c0c):

-#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT 6
+#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6)

Unfortunately, he didn't take into account the fact that the
calculation of the maximum path was based on an assumption of having
to round up:

#define RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH (RADIX_TREE_INDEX_BITS/RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT + 2)

So, if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is set, you will end up with a
RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH that is one greater than necessary.  The practical
upshot of this is just a bit of wasted memory (one long in the
height_to_maxindex array, an extra pre-allocated radix tree node per
cpu, and extra stack usage in a couple of functions), but it seems
worth getting right.

It's also worth noting that I never build with CONFIG_BASE_SMALL.
What I did to test this was duplicate the code in a small user-space
program and check the results of the calculations for max path and the
contents of the height_to_maxindex array.

fs: fix nobh error handling

nobh mode error handling is not just pretty slack, it's wrong.

One cannot zero out the whole page to ensure new blocks are zeroed, because
it just brings the whole page "uptodate" with zeroes even if that may not
be the correct uptodate data.  Also, other parts of the page may already
contain dirty data which would get lost by zeroing it out.  Thirdly, the
writeback of zeroes to the new blocks will also erase existing blocks.  All
these conditions are pagecache and/or filesystem corruption.

The problem comes about because we didn't keep track of which buffers
actually are new or old.  However it is not enough just to keep only this
state, because at the point we start dirtying parts of the page (new
blocks, with zeroes), the handling of IO errors becomes impossible without
buffers because the page may only be partially uptodate, in which case the
page flags allone cannot capture the state of the parts of the page.

So allocate all buffers for the page upfront, but leave them unattached so
that they don't pick up any other references and can be freed when we're
done.  If the error path is hit, then zero the new buffers as the regular
buffer path does, then attach the buffers to the page so that it can
actually be written out correctly and be subject to the normal IO error
handling paths.

As an upshot, we save 1K of kernel stack on ia64 or powerpc 64K page
systems.

remove ZERO_PAGE

The commit b5810039a54e5babf428e9a1e89fc1940fabff11 contains the note

  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.

And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).

There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely

I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.

Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).

As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.

When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.

Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.

The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked.  I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks.  All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

SLUB: direct pass through of page size or higher kmalloc requests

This gets rid of all kmalloc caches larger than page size.  A kmalloc
request larger than PAGE_SIZE > 2 is going to be passed through to the page
allocator.  This works both inline where we will call __get_free_pages
instead of kmem_cache_alloc and in __kmalloc.

kfree is modified to check if the object is in a slab page. If not then
the page is freed via the page allocator instead. Roughly similar to what
SLOB does.

Advantages:
- Reduces memory overhead for kmalloc array
- Large kmalloc operations are faster since they do not
  need to pass through the slab allocator to get to the
  page allocator.
- Performance increase of 10%-20% on alloc and 50% on free for
  PAGE_SIZEd allocations.
  SLUB must call page allocator for each alloc anyways since
  the higher order pages which that allowed avoiding the page alloc calls
  are not available in a reliable way anymore. So we are basically removing
  useless slab allocator overhead.
- Large kmallocs yields page aligned object which is what
  SLAB did. Bad things like using page sized kmalloc allocations to
  stand in for page allocate allocs can be transparently handled and are not
  distinguishable from page allocator uses.
- Checking for too large objects can be removed since
  it is done by the page allocator.

Drawbacks:
- No accounting for large kmalloc slab allocations anymore
- No debugging of large kmalloc slab allocations.

readahead: basic support of interleaved reads

This is a simplified version of the pagecache context based readahead.  It
handles the case of multiple threads reading on the same fd and invalidating
each others' readahead state.  It does the trick by scanning the pagecache and
recovering the current read stream's readahead status.

The algorithm works in a opportunistic way, in that it does not try to detect
interleaved reads _actively_, which requires a probe into the page cache
(which means a little more overhead for random reads).  It only tries to
handle a previously started sequential readahead whose state was overwritten
by another concurrent stream, and it can do this job pretty well.

Negative and positive examples(or what you can expect from it):

1) it cannot detect and serve perfect request-by-request interleaved reads
   right:
time stream 1  stream 2
0  1
1            1001
2  2
3            1002
4  3
5            1003
6  4
7            1004
8  5
9           1005

Here no single readahead will be carried out.

2) However, if it's two concurrent reads by two threads, the chance of the
   initial sequential readahead be started is huge. Once the first sequential
   readahead is started for a stream, this patch will ensure that the readahead
   window continues to rampup and won't be disturbed by other streams.

time stream 1  stream 2
0  1
1  2
2            1001
3  3
4            1002
5            1003
6  4
7  5
8            1004
9  6
10           1005
11 7
12           1006
13           1007

Here stream 1 will start a readahead at page 2, and stream 2 will start its
first readahead at page 1003.  From then on the two streams will be served
right.

During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.

Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.

This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.
