mm, compaction: embed migration mode in compact_control

2014-11-21T17:23:07+00:00

commit e0b9daeb453e602a95ea43853dc12d385558ce1f upstream.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.

Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool.  Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly.  Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.

This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction

2014-11-21T17:23:07+00:00

commit 35979ef3393110ff3c12c6b94552208d3bdf1a36 upstream.

Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.

Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction.  This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called.  On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.

This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction.  It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated.  The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.

mm, migration: add destination page freeing callback

2014-11-21T17:23:06+00:00

commit 68711a746345c44ae00c64d8dbac6a9ce13ac54a upstream.

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages.  When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.

This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages.  If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.

If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails.  If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual.  This patch
introduces no functional change.

mm/readahead.c: inline ra_submit

2014-11-21T17:23:06+00:00

commit 29f175d125f0f3a9503af8a5596f93d714cceb08 upstream.

Commit f9acc8c7b35a ("readahead: sanify file_ra_state names") left
ra_submit with a single function call.

Move ra_submit to internal.h and inline it to save some stack.  Thanks
to Andrew Morton for commenting different versions.

mm: remove read_cache_page_async()

2014-11-21T17:23:06+00:00

commit 67f9fd91f93c582b7de2ab9325b6e179db77e4d5 upstream.

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.

read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete.  This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that.  This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.

read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:

- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
  the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().

- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
  function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
  before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.

- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
  a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
  reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
  returns.

To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async().  While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().

This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees

2014-11-21T17:23:06+00:00

commit 0cd6144aadd2afd19d1aca880153530c52957604 upstream.

shmem mappings already contain exceptional entries where swap slot
information is remembered.

To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare
every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other
than pages.

The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return
NULL for page cache holes, just as before.  But provide a raw version of
the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to
use it.

mm: filemap: move radix tree hole searching here

2014-11-21T17:23:06+00:00

commit e7b563bb2a6f4d974208da46200784b9c5b5a47e upstream.

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.

It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot".  But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.

Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".

lib: radix-tree: add radix_tree_delete_item()

2014-11-21T17:23:06+00:00

commit 53c59f262d747ea82e7414774c59a489501186a0 upstream.

Provide a function that does not just delete an entry at a given index,
but also allows passing in an expected item.  Delete only if that item
is still located at the specified index.

This is handy when lockless tree traversals want to delete entries as
well because they don't have to do an second, locked lookup to verify
the slot has not changed under them before deleting the entry.

clocksource: Remove "weak" from clocksource_default_clock() declaration

2014-11-21T17:23:04+00:00

commit 96a2adbc6f501996418da9f7afe39bf0e4d006a9 upstream.

kernel/time/jiffies.c provides a default clocksource_default_clock()
definition explicitly marked "weak".  arch/s390 provides its own definition
intended to override the default, but the "weak" attribute on the
declaration applied to the s390 definition as well, so the linker chose one
based on link order (see 10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from
pcibios_get_phb_of_node decl")).

Remove the "weak" attribute from the clocksource_default_clock()
declaration so we always prefer a non-weak definition over the weak one,
independent of link order.
