All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.
This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm).
Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.
That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.
Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.
[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
migrated to x86-64..

The virtual address space argument of clear_user_highpage is supposed to be
the virtual address where the page being cleared will eventually be mapped.
This allows architectures with virtually indexed caches a few clever
tricks. That sort of trick falls over in painful ways if the virtual
address argument is wrong.

This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.
Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.
Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.
This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.
Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

This was posted on Aug 28 and fixes an issue that could cause troubles
when slab caches >=128k are created.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118798149918424&w=2
Currently we simply add the debug flags unconditional when checking for a
matching slab. This creates issues for sysfs processing when slabs exist
that are exempt from debugging due to their huge size or because only a
subset of slabs was selected for debugging.
We need to only add the flags if kmem_cache_open() would also add them.
Create a function to calculate the flags that would be set
if the cache would be opened and use that function to determine
the flags before looking for a compatible slab.

Do not BUG() if we cannot register a slab with sysfs. Just print an error.

This causes sleep with holding rcu_read_lock().

The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone. When
ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes
ZONE_MOVABLE. The result is that policies are only applied to allocations
like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the
zone is used.
This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone
is ZONE_MOVABLE. As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real"
zone, it's always functionally equivalent.
The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA
covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64. No abnormal results were seen in
kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench. It passes regression tests from
the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are
patched to wait for vmstat counters to update.
akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of
ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23. Christoph says "For .24 either merge
the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on. That solution
would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly. That may
help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

It seems a simple mistake was made when converting follow_hugetlb_page()
over to the VM_FAULT flags bitmasks (in "mm: fault feedback #2", commit
83c54070ee1a2d05c89793884bea1a03f2851ed4).
By using the wrong bitmask, hugetlb_fault() failures are not being
recognized. This results in an infinite loop whenever follow_hugetlb_page
is involved in a failed fault.

Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid. Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.
This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)

The new exec code inserts an accounted vma into an mm struct which is not
current->mm. The existing memory check code has a hard coded assumption
that this does not happen as does the security code.
As the correct mm is known we pass the mm to the security method and the
helper function. A new security test is added for the case where we need
to pass the mm and the existing one is modified to pass current->mm to
avoid the need to change large amounts of code.

contiguous areas
Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages. In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.
In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly. Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.
The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete. This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users. It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO. Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

clear_active_flags
As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started. As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request. This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.
I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally. These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system. I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):
2.6.23-rc1 11 8 6 7 7
sync_lumpy 28 28 29 29 26
These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone. Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.
I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.
This patch:
We are transitioning pages from active to inactive in clear_active_flags,
those need counting as PGDEACTIVATE vm events.

Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:
Initializing HighMem for node 0 (00038000:00100000)
Initializing HighMem for node 1 (00100000:001ffe00)
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at /home/apw/git/linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c:456!
[...]
This occurs because the section to node id mapping is not being
setup correctly during init under SPARSEMEM_STATIC, leading to an
attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.
When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new
section to node mapping table was introduced:
commit 89689ae7f95995723fbcd5c116c47933a3bb8b13

The dynamic dma kmalloc creation can run into trouble if a
GFP_ATOMIC allocation is the first one performed for a certain size
of dma kmalloc slab.
- Move the adding of the slab to sysfs into a workqueue
(sysfs does GFP_KERNEL allocations)
- Do not call kmem_cache_destroy() (uses slub_lock)
- Only acquire the slub_lock once and--if we cannot wait--do a trylock.
This introduces a slight risk of the first kmalloc(x, GFP_DMA|GFP_ATOMIC)
for a range of sizes failing due to another process holding the slub_lock.
However, we only need to acquire the spinlock once in order to establish
each power of two DMA kmalloc cache. The possible conflict is with the
slub_lock taken during slab management actions (create / remove slab cache).
It is rather typical that a driver will first fill its buffers using
GFP_KERNEL allocations which will wait until the slub_lock can be acquired.
Drivers will also create its slab caches first outside of an atomic
context before starting to use atomic kmalloc from an interrupt context.
If there are any failures then they will occur early after boot or when
loading of multiple drivers concurrently. Drivers can already accomodate
failures of GFP_ATOMIC for other reasons. Retries will then create the slab.

The MAX_PARTIAL checks were supposed to be an optimization. However, slab
shrinking is a manually triggered process either through running slabinfo
or by the kernel calling kmem_cache_shrink.
If one really wants to shrink a slab then all operations should be done
regardless of the size of the partial list. This also fixes an issue that
could surface if the number of partial slabs was initially above MAX_PARTIAL
in kmem_cache_shrink and later drops below MAX_PARTIAL through the
elimination of empty slabs on the partial list (rare). In that case a few
slabs may be left off the partial list (and only be put back when they
are empty).

out_of_memory() may be called when an allocation is failing and the direct
reclaim is not making any progress. This does not take into account the
requested order of the allocation. If the request if for an order larger
than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, it is reasonable to fail the allocation
because the kernel makes no guarantees about those allocations succeeding.
This false OOM situation can occur if a user is trying to grow the hugepage
pool in a script like;
#!/bin/bash
REQUIRED=$1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/hugepages_treat_as_movable
echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages`
while [ $REQUIRED -ne $ACTUAL ]; do
echo Huge page pool at $ACTUAL growing to $REQUIRED
echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages`
sleep 1
done
This is a reasonable scenario when ZONE_MOVABLE is in use but triggers OOM
easily on 2.6.23-rc1. This patch will fail an allocation for an order above
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER instead of killing processes and retrying.

Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND representing the ability to enter system sleep
states, such as the ACPI S3 state, and allow the user to choose SUSPEND
and HIBERNATION independently of each other.
Make HOTPLUG_CPU be selected automatically if SUSPEND or HIBERNATION has
been chosen and the kernel is intended for SMP systems.
Also, introduce CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which is automatically selected if
CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set and use it to select the
code needed for both suspend and hibernation.
The top-level power management headers and the ACPI code related to
suspend and hibernation are modified to use the new definitions (the
changes in drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c are, mostly, moving code to reduce
the number of ifdefs).
There are many other files in which CONFIG_PM can be replaced with
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or even with CONFIG_SUSPEND, but they can be updated in
the future.

With the introduction of kernelcore=, a configurable zone is created on
request. In some cases, this value will be small enough that some nodes
contain only ZONE_MOVABLE. On some NUMA configurations when this occurs,
arch-independent zone-sizing will get the size of the memory holes within
the node incorrect. The value of present_pages goes negative and the boot
fails.
This patch fixes the bug in the calculation of the size of the hole. The
test case is to boot test a NUMA machine with a low value of kernelcore=
before and after the patch is applied. While this bug exists in early
kernel it cannot be triggered in practice.
This patch has been boot-tested on a variety machines with and without
kernelcore= set.

release_pages() in mm/swap.c changes page_count() to be 0 without removing
PageLRU flag...
This means isolate_lru_page() can see a page, PageLRU() &&
page_count(page)==0.. This is BUG. (get_page() will be called against
count=0 page.)

In usual, migrate_pages(page,,) is called with holding mm->sem by system call.
(mm here is a mm_struct which maps the migration target page.)
This semaphore helps avoiding some race conditions.
But, if we want to migrate a page by some kernel codes, we have to avoid
some races. This patch adds check code for following race condition.
1. A page which page->mapping==NULL can be target of migration. Then, we have
to check page->mapping before calling try_to_unmap().
2. anon_vma can be freed while page is unmapped, but page->mapping remains as
it was. We drop page->mapcount to be 0. Then we cannot trust page->mapping.
So, use rcu_read_lock() to prevent anon_vma pointed by page->mapping from
being freed during migration.

Use the correct local variable when calling into the page allocator. Local
`flags' can have __GFP_ZERO set, which causes us to pass __GFP_ZERO into the
page allocator, possibly from illegal contexts. The page allocator will later
do prep_zero_page()->kmap_atomic(..., KM_USER0) from irq contexts and will
then go BUG.

dequeue_huge_page() has a serious memory leak upon hugetlb page
allocation. The for loop continues on allocating hugetlb pages out of
all allowable zone, where this function is supposedly only dequeue one
and only one pages.
Fixed it by breaking out of the for loop once a hugetlb page is found.

The version of SLOB in -mm always scans its free list from the beginning,
which results in small allocations and free segments clustering at the
beginning of the list over time. This causes the average search to scan
over a large stretch at the beginning on each allocation.
By starting each page search where the last one left off, we evenly
distribute the allocations and greatly shorten the average search.
Without this patch, kernel compiles on a 1.5G machine take a large amount
of system time for list scanning. With this patch, compiles are within a
few seconds of performance of a SLAB kernel with no notable change in
system time.

Trying to survive an allmodconfig on a nommu platform results in many
screen lengths of module unhappiness. Many of the mmap related things that
binfmt_flat hooks in to are never exported despite being global, and there
are also missing definitions for vmalloc_32_user() and vm_insert_page().
I've implemented vmalloc_32_user() trying to stick as close to the
mm/vmalloc.c implementation as possible, though we don't have any need for
VM_USERMAP, so groveling for the VMA can be skipped. vm_insert_page() has
been stubbed for now in order to keep the build happy.

zone_movable_pfn is presently marked as __initdata and referenced from
adjust_zone_range_for_zone_movable(), which in turn is referenced by
zone_spanned_pages_in_node(). Both of these are __meminit annotated. When
memory hotplug is enabled, this will oops on a hot-add, due to
zone_movable_pfn having been freed.
__meminitdata annotation gives the desired behaviour.
This will only impact platforms that enable both memory hotplug
and ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

The slab and slob allocators already did this right, but slub would call
"get_object_page()" on the magic ZERO_SIZE_PTR, with all kinds of nasty
end results.

I suspect Christoph tested his code only in the NUMA configuration, for
the combination of SLAB+non-NUMA the zero-sized kmalloc's would not work.
Of course, this would only trigger in configurations where those zero-
sized allocations happen (not very common), so that may explain why it
wasn't more widely noticed.
Seen by by Andi Kleen under qemu, and there seems to be a report by
Michael Tsirkin on it too.

lguest does some fairly lowlevel things to support a host, which
normal modules don't need:
math_state_restore:
When the guest triggers a Device Not Available fault, we need
to be able to restore the FPU
__put_task_struct:
We need to hold a reference to another task for inter-guest
I/O, and put_task_struct() is an inline function which calls
__put_task_struct.
access_process_vm:
We need to access another task for inter-guest I/O.
map_vm_area & __get_vm_area:
We need to map the switcher shim (ie. monitor) at 0xFFC01000.
