fs/proc/meminfo.c: include cma info in proc/meminfo

2014-12-19T03:08:10+00:00

This patch include CMA info (CMATotal, CMAFree) in /proc/meminfo.
Currently, in a CMA enabled system, if somebody wants to know the total
CMA size declared, there is no way to tell, other than the dmesg or
/var/log/messages logs.

With this patch we are showing the CMA info as part of meminfo, so that it
can be determined at any point of time.  This will be populated only when
CMA is enabled.

Below is the sample output from a ARM based device with RAM:512MB and CMA:16MB.

  MemTotal:         471172 kB
  MemFree:          111712 kB
  MemAvailable:     271172 kB

mm: export NR_SHMEM via sysinfo(2) / si_meminfo() interfaces

2014-08-07T01:01:19+00:00

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields.  With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram.  Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.

This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

fs/proc: don't use module_init for non-modular core code

2014-01-24T00:37:02+00:00

PROC_FS is a bool, so this code is either present or absent.  It will
never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is
rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to
obviously non-modular code, and that would be ugly at best.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change these registrations from level 6-device to level 5-fs
(i.e.  slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that small
difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the
registration of vmcore_init as an initcall.

/proc/meminfo: provide estimated available memory

2014-01-22T00:19:43+00:00

Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to
estimate how much free memory is available.  They generally do this by
adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is
pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today.

It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page
cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does
not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction
of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files.

Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload,
without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree,
Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low"
watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo.

However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not
be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the
amount of free memory.

It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo.  If
things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

Hugetlb supports multiple page sizes. We use split lock only for PMD
level, but not for PUD.

thp: account anon transparent huge pages into NR_ANON_PAGES

2013-09-12T22:38:03+00:00

We use NR_ANON_PAGES as base for reporting AnonPages to user.  There's
not much sense in not accounting transparent huge pages there, but add
them on printing to user.

Let's account transparent huge pages in NR_ANON_PAGES in the first place.

mm, vmalloc: move get_vmalloc_info() to vmalloc.c

2013-04-29T22:54:33+00:00

Now get_vmalloc_info() is in fs/proc/mmu.c.  There is no reason that this
code must be here and it's implementation needs vmlist_lock and it iterate
a vmlist which may be internal data structure for vmalloc.

It is preferable that vmlist_lock and vmlist is only used in vmalloc.c
for maintainability. So move the code to vmalloc.c

swap: make each swap partition have one address_space

2013-02-24T01:50:17+00:00

When I use several fast SSD to do swap, swapper_space.tree_lock is
heavily contended.  This makes each swap partition have one
address_space to reduce the lock contention.  There is an array of
address_space for swap.  The swap entry type is the index to the array.

In my test with 3 SSD, this increases the swapout throughput 20%.
