mm: page_alloc: convert hot/cold parameter and immediate callers to bool

2014-06-04T23:54:09+00:00

cold is a bool, make it one.  Make the likely case the "if" part of the
block instead of the else as according to the optimisation manual this is
preferred.

hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64

2014-06-04T23:53:51+00:00

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

tile: cleanup the comment in init_pgprot

2014-05-13T15:51:10+00:00

In tile vmlinux, the rodata area start after the _sdata.
The rodata area is included between [_sdata, __end_rodata),
and is handled at an earlier point.
The page walk starts at __end_rodata, not _sdata.

tile: remove HUGE_VMAP dead code

2013-09-13T15:15:24+00:00

A config option to allow a variant vmap() using huge pages that was never
upstreamed had some bits of code related to it scattered around the tile
architecture; the config option was removed downstream and this commit
cleans up the scattered evidence of it from the upstream as well.

arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

arch: mm: remove obsolete init OOM protection

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation
until an OOM situation is resolved.  They can hold all kinds of locks
(fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking.

This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is
started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault
stack is fully unwound.

Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg
requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify
out-of-memory behavior across architectures.

Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel
faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM.  OOM
handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other
option.

Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little
more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename
locking functions, reorder and document.

Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never
trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation.

This patch:

Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on
allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special
protection for the init process.

Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit
609838cfed97: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page
fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the
arch-specific leftovers can be removed.
