In commit 0ac0c0d0 cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() Jack Steiner fixed a problem with too many small tasks being assigned to node 0. Copy his code to ia64 to avoid build error. arch/ia64/kernel/smpboot.c:641: error: ‘cpu_to_node_map’ undeclared (first use in this function) In commit 3bccd996 numa: ia64: use generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation Lee Schermerhorn added some set_numa_node() calls - but these only work on CONFIG_NUMA=y configurations. Surround the calls with #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA Signed-off-by:

Commit e9fb7631 ("cpu-hotplug: introduce cpu_notify(), __cpu_notify(), cpu_notify_nofail()") also introduced this annoying warning: kernel/cpu.c:157: warning: 'cpu_notify_nofail' defined but not used when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU wasn't set. So move that helper inside the #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU region, and simplify it while at it. Signed-off-by:

Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab related changes. He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this documentation. Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out of date relative to current Linux NUMA support. At the risk of going down a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and out-of-tree man pages that cover the details. Let the games begin. Signed-off-by:

In kernel profiling requires that we be able to allocate "local" memory for each cpu. Use "cpu_to_mem()" instead of "cpu_to_node()" to support memoryless nodes. Depends on the "numa_mem_id()" patch. Signed-off-by:
-
Lee Schermerhorn authored
Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state. Performance impact on "hackbench 400 process 200" 2.6.34-rc3-mmotm-100405-1609 no-patch this-patch ia64 no memoryless nodes [avg of 10]: 11.713 11.637 ~0.65 diff ia64 cpus all on memless nodes [10]: 228.259 26.484 ~8.6x speedup The slowdown of the patched kernel from ~12 sec to ~28 seconds when configured with memoryless nodes is the result of all cpus allocating from a single node's mm pagepool. The cache lines of the single node are distributed/interleaved over the memory of the real physical nodes, but the zone lock, list heads, ... of the single node with memory still each live in a single cache line that is accessed from all processors. x86_64 [8x6 AMD] [avg of 40]: 2.883 2.845 Signed-off-by:

Enable 'HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES' by default when NUMA configured on ia64. Initialize percpu 'numa_mem' variable when starting secondary cpus. Generic initialization will handle the boot cpu. Nothing uses 'numa_mem_id()' yet. Subsequent patch with modify slab to use this. Signed-off-by:
-
Lee Schermerhorn authored
Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless nodes. Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES defined, else stubs. Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES if/when they support them. Archs can override definitions of: numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem' cpu_to_mem() - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists(). This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist rebuild. Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize 'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:

x86 arch specific changes to use generic numa_node_id() based on generic percpu variable infrastructure. Back out x86's custom version of numa_node_id() Signed-off-by:
-
Lee Schermerhorn authored
Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new generic percpu variable infrastructure. Guard the new implementation with a new config option: CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID. Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y' when NUMA is configured. This config option could be removed if/when all archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id(). Arch support involves: 1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use this implementation. x86_64 is an instance of such an arch. 2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus are brought on-line. ia64 is an example. 3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g., when NUMA is configured. This is required because I have retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to be modified incrementally, as desired. Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation. Signed-off-by: -

The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock. Therefore it does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek operations. Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use i_size_read() instead. Add a note that this is not protecting file->f_pos. Signed-off-by:

Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the filesystem still uses the big kernel lock. Since llseek() modifies file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as provided by generic_file_llseek(). This is only possible since all filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or with disk address offsets. Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) - blocksize).

st_open() suggests that llseek() doesn't work: "We really want to do nonseekable_open(inode, filp); here, but some versions of tar incorrectly call lseek on tapes and bail out if that fails. So we disallow pread() and pwrite(), but permit lseeks." Instead of using the fallback default_llseek() the driver should use noop_llseek() which leaves the file->f_pos untouched but succeeds.

This is an implementation of ->llseek useable for the rare special case when userspace expects the seek to succeed but the (device) file is actually not able to perform the seek. In this case you use noop_llseek() instead of falling back to the default implementation of ->llseek. Signed-off-by:

This test is not doing anything since it is always false if the mISDN_read() is called from vfs_read(). Besides that the driver uses nonseekable_open() and is not using off or file->f_pos anywhere. Signed-off-by:
