Drop support for debugging features that aren't supported on FRV: (*) EARLY_PRINTK The on-chip UARTs are set up early enough that this isn't required, and VGA support isn't available. There's also a gdbstub available. (*) DEBUG_PAGEALLOC This can't be easily be done since we use huge static mappings to cover the kernel, not pages. Signed-off-by:

This was was first posted at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=113149240227584&w=2 (Part of this functionality is also contained in the direct migration pathset. The functionality here is more generic and independent of that patchset.) - Add internal flags MPOL_MF_INVERT to control check_range() behavior. - Replace the pagelist passed through by check_range by a general private pointer that may be used for other purposes. (The following patches will use that to merge numa_maps into mempolicy.c and to better group the page migration code in the policy layer) - Improve some comments. Signed-off-by:

Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset. It defaults to false (file contains "0"). It can be set true by writing "1" to the file. If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages. Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

Add gfp_mask to add_to_swap add_to_swap does allocations with GFP_ATOMIC in order not to interfere with swapping. During migration we may have use add_to_swap extensively which may lead to out of memory errors. This patch makes add_to_swap take a parameter that specifies the gfp mask. The page migration code can then make add_to_swap use GFP_KERNEL. Signed-off-by:

sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node. sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide to manually control the migration. This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's implementation. The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset. Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64. Signed-off-by:

Add page migration support via swap to the NUMA policy layer This patch adds page migration support to the NUMA policy layer. An additional flag MPOL_MF_MOVE is introduced for mbind. If MPOL_MF_MOVE is specified then pages that do not conform to the memory policy will be evicted from memory. When they get pages back in new pages will be allocated following the numa policy.

This adds the basic page migration function with a minimal implementation that only allows the eviction of pages to swap space. Page eviction and migration may be useful to migrate pages, to suspend programs or for remapping single pages (useful for faulty pages or pages with soft ECC failures) The process is as follows: The function wanting to migrate pages must first build a list of pages to be migrated or evicted and take them off the lru lists via isolate_lru_page(). isolate_lru_page determines that a page is freeable based on the LRU bit set. Then the actual migration or swapout can happen by calling migrate_pages(). migrate_pages does its best to migrate or swapout the pages and does multiple passes over the list. Some pages may only be swappable if they are not dirty. migrate_pages may start writing out dirty pages in the initial passes over the pages. However, migrate_pages may not be able to migrate or evict all pages for a variety of reasons. The remaining pages may be returned to the LRU lists using putback_lru_pages(). Changelog V4->V5: - Use the lru caches to return pages to the LRU Changelog V3->V4: - Restructure code so that applying patches to support full migration does require minimal changes. Rename swapout_pages() to migrate_pages(). Changelog V2->V3: - Extract common code from shrink_list() and swapout_pages() Signed-off-by:

This is the start of the `swap migration' patch series. Swap migration allows the moving of the physical location of pages between nodes in a numa system while the process is running. This means that the virtual addresses that the process sees do not change. However, the system rearranges the physical location of those pages. The main intent of page migration patches here is to reduce the latency of memory access by moving pages near to the processor where the process accessing that memory is running. The patchset allows a process to manually relocate the node on which its pages are located through the MF_MOVE and MF_MOVE_ALL options while setting a new memory policy. The pages of process can also be relocated from another process using the sys_migrate_pages() function call. Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The migrate_pages function call takes two sets of nodes and moves pages of a process that are located on the from nodes to the destination nodes. Manual migration is very useful if for example the scheduler has relocated a process to a processor on a distant node. A batch scheduler or an administrator can detect the situation and move the pages of the process nearer to the new processor. sys_migrate_pages() could be used on non-numa machines as well, to force all of a particualr process's pages out to swap, if someone thinks that's useful. Larger installations usually partition the system using cpusets into sections of nodes. Paul has equipped cpusets with the ability to move pages when a task is moved to another cpuset. This allows automatic control over locality of a process. If a task is moved to a new cpuset then also all its pages are moved with it so that the performance of the process does not sink dramatically (as is the case today). Swap migration works by simply evicting the page. The pages must be faulted back in. The pages are then typically reallocated by the system near the node where the process is executing. For swap migration the destination of the move is controlled by the allocation policy. Cpusets set the allocation policy before calling sys_migrate_pages() in order to move the pages as intended. No allocation policy changes are performed for sys_migrate_pages(). This means that the pages may not faulted in to the specified nodes if no allocation policy was set by other means. The pages will just end up near the node where the fault occurred. There's another patch series in the pipeline which implements "direct migration". The direct migration patchset extends the migration functionality to avoid going through swap. The destination node of the relation is controllable during the actual moving of pages. The crutch of using the allocation policy to relocate is not necessary and the pages are moved directly to the target. Its also faster since swap is not used. And sys_migrate_pages() can then move pages directly to the specified node. Implement functions to isolate pages from the LRU and put them back later. This patch: An earlier implementation was provided by Hirokazu Takahashi <taka@valinux.co.jp> and IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp> for the memory hotplug project. From: Magnus This breaks out isolate_lru_page() and putpack_lru_page(). Needed for swap migration. Signed-off-by:

swap migration's isolate_lru_page() currently uses an IPI to notify other processors that the lru caches need to be drained if the page cannot be found on the LRU. The IPI interrupt may interrupt a processor that is just processing lru requests and cause a race condition. This patch introduces a new function run_on_each_cpu() that uses the keventd() to run the LRU draining on each processor. Processors disable preemption when dealing the LRU caches (these are per processor) and thus executing LRU draining from another process is safe. Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> for finding this race condition. Signed-off-by:
