Memory controller: make charging gfp mask aware

2008-02-07T16:42:19+00:00

Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts.  This patch makes the
charging routine aware of the gfp context.  Charging might fail if the
cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.

This patch was tested on a Powerpc box.  I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.

Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and reclaim

2008-02-07T16:42:18+00:00

Add the page_cgroup to the per cgroup LRU.  The reclaim algorithm has
been modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component.  The
scan_control data structure now accepts the cgroup on behalf of which
reclaims are carried out.  try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become
cgroup aware.

tmpfs: move swap swizzling into shmem

2008-02-05T17:44:15+00:00

move_to_swap_cache and move_from_swap_cache functions (which swizzle a page
between tmpfs page cache and swap cache, to avoid page copying) are only used
by shmem.c; and our subsequent fix for unionfs needs different treatments in
the two instances of move_from_swap_cache.  Move them from swap_state.c into
their callsites shmem_writepage, shmem_unuse_inode and shmem_getpage, making
add_to_swap_cache externally visible.

shmem.c likes to say set_page_dirty where swap_state.c liked to say
SetPageDirty: respect that diversity, which __set_page_dirty_no_writeback
makes moot (and implies we should lose that "shift page from clean_pages to
dirty_pages list" comment: it's on neither).

swapin needs gfp_mask for loop on tmpfs

2008-02-05T17:44:14+00:00

Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when
swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout.

In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in
practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load
and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high.  But now, with the new aops, it has
become easy to hang on one machine.

Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which
seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but
the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since
grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache).

When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which
has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to
break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in,
read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the
mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang.

So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to
swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

swapin_readahead: move and rearrange args

2008-02-05T17:44:14+00:00

swapin_readahead has never sat well in mm/memory.c: move it to mm/swap_state.c
beside its kindred read_swap_cache_async.  Why were its args in a different
order?  rearrange them.  And since it was always followed by a
read_swap_cache_async of the target page, fold that in and return struct
page*.  Then CONFIG_SWAP=n no longer needs valid_swaphandles and
read_swap_cache_async stubs.

asm-generic/tlb.h: build fix

bring back the avr32, blackfin, sh, sparc architectures into working order,

x86: demacro asm-x86/pgalloc_32.h

2008-01-30T12:33:39+00:00

Convert macros into inline functions, for better type-checking.

This patch required a little bit of fiddling with headers in order to
make __(pte|pmd)_free_tlb inline rather than macros.
asm-generic/tlb.h includes asm/pgalloc.h, though it doesn't directly
use any pgalloc definitions.  I removed this include to avoid an
include cycle, but it may cause secondary compile failures by things
depending on the indirect inclusion; arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c was one
such place; there may be others.

Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io

2007-10-10T07:25:57+00:00

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant.  Remove it.

Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size.  So don't do that either.

While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.
