      mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred mode · 3e1f0645
      David Rientjes authored
      MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for
      MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely
      local allocations).  They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of
      a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement.
      
      Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty
      nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations.  [A
      different, somewhat incomplete, patch already existed in 25-rc5-mm1.]

      mempolicy: create mempolicy_operations structure · 37012946
      David Rientjes authored
      Create a mempolicy_operations structure that currently points to two
      functions[*] for the various modes:
      
      	int (*create)(struct mempolicy *, const nodemask_t *);
      	void (*rebind)(struct mempolicy *, const nodemask_t *);
      
      This splits the implementation for the various modes out of two large
      functions, mpol_new() and mpol_rebind_policy().  Eventually it may be
      beneficial to add additional functions to accomodate the existing switch()
      statements in mm/mempolicy.c.
      
       [*] The ->create() function for MPOL_DEFAULT is currently NULL since no
           struct mempolicy is dynamically allocated.

      mempolicy: add MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag · 4c50bc01
      David Rientjes authored
      Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies
      nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative
      to the current task's mems_allowed.
      
      When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto
      the current task's mems_allowed.  For example, consider a task using
      set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a
      nodemask of 1-3.  If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is
      5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed).
      
      If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound
      each time the mems are changed.  Some possible rebinds and results are:
      
      	mems			result
      	1-3			1-3
      	1-7			2-4
      	1,5-6			1,5-6
      	1,5-7			5-7
      
      Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned
      to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap.
      
      In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently
      effected nodemask to the relative nodemask.
      
      This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.

      mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations · 7ea931c9
      Paul Jackson authored
      The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
      with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
      
      The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
      n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
      will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.
      
      The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
      the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
      value.
      
      There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
      predecessor bitmap_relative:
       1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
       2) Added bitmap_fold().
      
      The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
      converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
      relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
      or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
      bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
      first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
      calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
      (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
      converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
      node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.
      
      Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
      of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
       1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
          relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
          condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
          between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
          and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
          set_memplicy system call.
       2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
          mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
          cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
          because the existing interface only allows specifying
          mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.
      
      Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
      particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
      each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
      various CPUs and Nodes available.
      
      The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
      example.
      
      Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
      nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
      relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
      cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
      this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
      nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
      higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
      mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
      weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
      specifying nodes 4-7.

      mempolicy: add MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag · f5b087b5
      David Rientjes authored
      Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the
      node remap when the policy is rebound.
      
      Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of
      a union with cpuset_mems_allowed:
      
      	struct mempolicy {
      		...
      		union {
      			nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed;
      			nodemask_t user_nodemask;
      		} w;
      	}
      
      that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the
      mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind().  When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES,
      which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask
      intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when
      determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating
      the interleave nodemask.  This happens whenever the policy is rebound,
      including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are
      changed.
      
      This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy
      "intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that
      it desires.  For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over
      a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created
      and the task continues to use the previous policy.  With this change, however,
      it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access
      to nodes in the nodemask is acquired.
      
      It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when
      specifying a node or nodemask.  To do this, simply add "=static" immediately
      following the mempolicy mode at mount time:
      
      	mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3
      
      Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it
      is now obsoleted.  The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.

      mempolicy: support optional mode flags · 028fec41
      David Rientjes authored
      With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode
      flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances.  The
      most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the
      nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind.
      
      Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy'
      formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall.  A new constant,
      MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be
      passed as part of this int.  Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of
      their policy are rejected as invalid.
      
      An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags:
      
      	struct mempolicy {
      		...
      		unsigned short policy;
      		unsigned short flags;
      	}
      
      The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in
      sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls.  This is
      done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of
      there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct
      mempolicy.  The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in
      the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain
      unchanged.
      
      The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the
      user in get_mempolicy().
      
      This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break
      userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either
      
      	switch (policy) {
      	case MPOL_BIND:
      		...
      	case MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
      		...
      	};
      
      statements or
      
      	if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) {
      		...
      	}
      
      statements.  Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when
      calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements
      to stop working.  If an application does start using optional mode flags, it
      will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional
      statements that only test mode.
      
      An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the
      optional mode flags.

      mempolicy: convert MPOL constants to enum · a3b51e01
      David Rientjes authored
      The mempolicy mode constants, MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_PREFERRED, MPOL_BIND, and
      MPOL_INTERLEAVE, are better declared as part of an enum since they are
      sequentially numbered and cannot be combined.
      
      The policy member of struct mempolicy is also converted from type short to
      type unsigned short.  A negative policy does not have any legitimate meaning,
      so it is possible to change its type in preparation for adding optional mode
      flags later.
      
      The equivalent member of struct shmem_sb_info is also changed from int to
      unsigned short.
      
      For compatibility, the policy formal to get_mempolicy() remains as a pointer
      to an int:
      
      	int get_mempolicy(int *policy, unsigned long *nmask,
      			  unsigned long maxnode, unsigned long addr,
      			  unsigned long flags);
      
      although the only possible values is the range of type unsigned short.

      mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask · 19770b32
      Mel Gorman authored
      The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
      controlled by that mempolicy.  As the per-node zonelist is already being
      filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
      takes a nodemask for further filtering.  This eliminates the need for
      MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
      
      A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
      local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered

      mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx · dd1a239f
      Mel Gorman authored
      Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx().  This is costly
      as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation.  As
      the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible.  The node idx
      could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
      significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
      used.
      
      This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
      index.  The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
      are looked up as necessary.  Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
      well as the node index.

      mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP mask · 54a6eb5c
      Mel Gorman authored
      Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
      system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations.  Based on the zones
      allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected.  All of these
      zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.
      
      This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists.  The
      first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
      fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages.  The
      second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
      allocations.
      
      An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
      through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

      mm: remember what the preferred zone is for zone_statistics · 18ea7e71
      Mel Gorman authored
      On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and
      foreign.  It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.
      When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no
      longer the case.
      
      This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first
      zone in the zonelist is it.  This simplifies the reading of later patches in
      this set.

      mm: use zonelists instead of zones when direct reclaiming pages · dac1d27b
      Mel Gorman authored
      The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists
      that are filtered based on the GFP flags.  The patches as a set fix a bug with
      regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE.  With this patchset, the
      MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is
      ZONE_MOVABLE.  This should be considered as an alternative fix for the
      MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters
      only custom zonelists.
      
      The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses
      zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist.
      
      The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up
      the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the
      set.
      
      The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as
      it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist.
      
      The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are
      filtered.  The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset
      introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE.
      
      The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node
      indices of entries in a zonelist.
      
      The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask.
      Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for
      __GFP_THISNODE.
      
      Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration.  In real
      workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the
      benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing
      of zonelists.
      
      These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against
      2.6.24-rc4-mm1.  The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and
      ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA.
      			     loss   to  gain
      Total CPU time on Kernbench: -0.86% to  1.13%
      Elapsed   time on Kernbench: -0.79% to  0.76%

      exec_test from aim9:         -0.71% to  1.08%
      
      This patch:
      
      The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
      should be targeted for an allocation.  Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
      iterates over an array of zones.  For consistency, this patch converts direct
      reclaim to use a zonelist.  No functionality is changed by this patch.  This
      simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

      Remove set_migrateflags() · 488514d1
      Christoph Lameter authored
      Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag
      logic was reviewed.  Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the
      unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was
      active when a new slab page was allocated.
      
      This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it.
      
      The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the
      SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set.  The set_migrateflags() never had any
      effect there.
      
      Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated
      with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation.  We now set
      SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix
      tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section.  Radix tree
      slabs will also be accounted as such.
      
      There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

      hotplug-memory: make online_page() common · 180c06ef
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
      just make it common code.  x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
      identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
      
      x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
      zone.  We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
      its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately.  This
      leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
      add_one_highpage_init.
      
      I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
      details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

      drivers/char/rtc.c: use time_before, time_before_eq, etc · dca03a51

      rtc: add the support for alarm time relative to current time in sysfs · c116bc2a
      Zhao Yakui authored
      In current kernel if we want to set the alarm time, the absolute time the
      seconds relative to 1970-01-01 00:00:00) should be written into
      /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm.  It is not convenient.
      
      It is more reasonable to add the support for the alarm time relative to
      current RTC time.(the unit is second)
      
      For example:
      If the RTC is required to generate alarm after 2 minutes, the following
      will be OK.
      	echo +120 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
      or      echo +0x78 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm

      rtc: rtc-rs5c372: fix up NULL name in transfer error path · e2bfe342
      Paul Mundt authored
      rs5c_get_regs() currently uses rs5c->rtc->name for its debug printk when
      i2c_transfer() fails, though it is used several times before the rtc dev
      has been registered. The earliest we can get at the symbolic name is via
      the i2c client's struct device, which can be handled by moving the first
      rs5c_get_regs() until after the client pointer is assigned.

      rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic framework · c7500900
      David Brownell authored
      Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding
      legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled:
      
       - If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver;
      
       - When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default;
      
       - In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment
         warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when
         the generic framework is in use.
      
      People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to.
      
      This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver.
      Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial
      list of ones where it won't.  Or better yet, it would depend on a
      "HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ...  surely there's a
      Kconfig style guideline lurking there.
