Eric Wong reported his test suite failex when /tmp is tmpfs. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/479 Currentlt the input check of POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED has two problems. - requires a_ops->readpage. But in fact, force_page_cache_readahead() requires that the target filesystem has either ->readpage or ->readpages. - returns -EINVAL when the filesystem doesn't have ->readpage. But posix says that fadvise is merely a hint. Thus fadvise() should return 0 if filesystem has no means of implementing fadvise(). The userland application should not know nor care whcih type of filesystem backs the TMPDIR directory, as Eric pointed out. There is nothing which userspace can do to solve this error. So change the return value to 0 when filesytem doesn't support readahead. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by:

When CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled, compaction_deferred() tries to recalculate the deferred limit again, which isn't necessary. When CONFIG_COMPACTION is disabled, compaction_deferred() should return "true" or "false" since it has "bool" for its return value. Signed-off-by:

mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() just returns 0 or -EBUSY and -EBUSY indicates 'you need to retry'. Make mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() return a bool to simplify the logic. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: rework mem_cgroup_force_empty_list()'s comment] Signed-off-by:

The oom killer currently schedules away from current in an uninterruptible sleep if it does not have access to memory reserves. It's possible that current was killed because it shares memory with the oom killed thread or because it was killed by the user in the interim, however. This patch only schedules away from current if it does not have a pending kill, i.e. if it does not share memory with the oom killed thread. It's possible that it will immediately retry its memory allocation and fail, but it will immediately be given access to memory reserves if it calls the oom killer again. This prevents the delay of memory freeing when threads that share memory with the oom killed thread get unnecessarily scheduled. Signed-off-by:

Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations. The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch. Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.

This patchset implements a cgroup resource controller for HugeTLB pages. The controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of task can allocate. It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs superblock. HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource requirements in the job file. Once their requirements can be met, job schedulers like (SLURM) will schedule the job. We need to make sure that the jobs won't consume more resources than requested. If they do we should either error out or kill the application. This patch: Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate. We will be using this from other subsystems like hugetlb controller in later patches. Signed-off-by:

Since per-BDI flusher threads were introduced in 2.6, the pdflush mechanism is not used any more. But the old interface exported through /proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads still exists and is obviously useless.

Swap readahead works fine, but the I/O to disk is almost always done in page size requests, despite the fact that readahead submits 1<<page-cluster pages at a time. On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more I/Os than required. On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization. With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput. In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks shows the improved merging: Prior: Reads Queued: 560,888, 2,243MiB Writes Queued: 226,242, 904,968KiB Read Dispatches: 544,701, 2,243MiB Write Dispatches: 159,318, 904,968KiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 544,716, 2,243MiB Writes Completed: 159,321, 904,980KiB Read Merges: 16,187, 64,748KiB Write Merges: 61,744, 246,976KiB IO unplugs: 149,614 Timer unplugs: 2,940 With the patch: Reads Queued: 734,315, 2,937MiB Writes Queued: 300,188, 1,200MiB Read Dispatches: 214,972, 2,937MiB Write Dispatches: 215,176, 1,200MiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 214,971, 2,937MiB Writes Completed: 215,177, 1,200MiB Read Merges: 519,343, 2,077MiB Write Merges: 73,325, 293,300KiB IO unplugs: 337,130 Timer unplugs: 11,184 I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling). In a shared SAN others might get an additional benefit as well, because this now causes less protocol overhead. Signed-off-by:

There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole. Could be simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list. More simpler and efficient. Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within __insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk. Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and rounds for hours.
