mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang

2020-12-15T20:13:47+00:00

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix a couple of
warnings by explicitly adding a break statement instead of just letting
the code fall through to the next, and by adding a fallthrough
pseudo-keyword in places where the code is intended to fall through.

mm: adjust vm_committed_as_batch according to vm overcommit policy

2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability mmap test
[1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of percpu counter
'vm_committed_as':

    94.14%     0.35%  [kernel.kallsyms]         [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
    48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap;
    45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap;

Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary.  The
'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number
for the percpu counter.

So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and
lift it to 64X for OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies.  Also
add a sysctl handler to adjust it when the policy is reconfigured.

Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T
desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server.  We tested with test
platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop), and 80%+ platforms shows
improvements with that test.  And whether it shows improvements depends on
if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed.

And if the lift is 16X, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements,
though it should help the mmap/unmap usage generally, as Michal Hocko
mentioned:

: I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit from
: a larger batch.  E.g.  large in memory databases which do large mmaps
: during startups from multiple threads.

mm/mm_init.c: report kasan-tag information stored in page->flags

2020-06-02T17:59:12+00:00

The pageflags_layout_usage shows incorrect message by means of
mminit_loglevel when Kasan runs in the mode of software tag-based
enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS.  This patch corrects it and reports
kasan-tag information.

mm/mm_init.c: clean code. Use BUILD_BUG_ON when comparing compile time constant

2020-04-07T17:43:41+00:00

MAX_ZONELISTS is a compile time constant, so it should be compared using
BUILD_BUG_ON not BUG_ON.

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

mm: access zone->node via zone_to_nid() and zone_set_nid()

2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

zone->node is configured only when CONFIG_NUMA=y, so it is a good idea to
have inline functions to access this field in order to avoid ifdef's in c
files.

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

Most of the mm subsystem uses pr_ so make it consistent.

Miscellanea:

 - Realign arguments
 - Add missing newline to format
 - kmemleak-test.c has a "kmemleak: " prefix added to the
   "Kmemleak testing" logging message via pr_fmt

mm: meminit: remove mminit_verify_page_links

2015-07-01T02:44:56+00:00

mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was
introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked.
Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was
spent on checking this for every page.  The cost could be reduced but in
practice this check only found problems very early during the
initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since.  This patch removes an
expensive unnecessary check.

mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapd

2015-07-01T02:44:56+00:00

Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment.  When this
patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel.

This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and
initialising data that is local to the CPU.  The user-visible effect on
large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early
in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is
initialised in the kernel log.  Once initialised there should be no other
user-visibile effects.
