Currently, when one specifies MPOL_DEFAULT via a NUMA memory policy API [set_mempolicy(), mbind() and internal versions], the kernel simply installs a NULL struct mempolicy pointer in the appropriate context: task policy, vma policy, or shared policy. This causes any use of that policy to "fall back" to the next most specific policy scope. The only use of MPOL_DEFAULT to mean "local allocation" is in the system default policy. This requires extra checks/cases for MPOL_DEFAULT in many mempolicy.c functions. There is another, "preferred" way to specify local allocation via the APIs. That is using the MPOL_PREFERRED policy mode with an empty nodemask. Internally, the empty nodemask gets converted to a preferred_node id of '-1'. All internal usage of MPOL_PREFERRED will convert the '-1' to the id of the node local to the cpu where the allocation occurs. System default policy, except during boot, is hard-coded to "local allocation". By using the MPOL_PREFERRED mode with a negative value of preferred node for system default policy, MPOL_DEFAULT will never occur in the 'policy' member of a struct mempolicy. Thus, we can remove all checks for MPOL_DEFAULT when converting policy to a node id/zonelist in the allocation paths. In slab_node() return local node id when policy pointer is NULL. No need to set a pol value to take the switch default. Replace switch default with BUG()--i.e., shouldn't happen. With this patch MPOL_DEFAULT is only used in the APIs, including internal calls to do_set_mempolicy() and in the display of policy in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps. It always means "fall back" to the the next most specific policy scope. This simplifies the description of memory policies quite a bit, with no visible change in behavior. get_mempolicy() continues to return MPOL_DEFAULT and an empty nodemask when the requested policy [task or vma/shared] is NULL. These are the values one would supply via set_mempolicy() or mbind() to achieve that condition--default behavior. This patch updates Documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by:

After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the unref for interleave policies. A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting. This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes, simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time. See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch. Summary: Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put] helper function introduced by this patch. Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma() multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue here. I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

As part of yet another rework of mempolicy reference counting, we want to be able to identify shared policies efficiently, because they have an extra ref taken on lookup that needs to be removed when we're finished using the policy. Note: the extra ref is required because the policies are shared between tasks/processes and can be changed/freed by one task while another task is using them--e.g., for page allocation. Building on David Rientjes mempolicy "mode flags" enhancement, this patch indicates a "shared" policy by setting a new MPOL_F_SHARED flag in the flags member of the struct mempolicy added by David. MPOL_F_SHARED, and any future "internal mode flags" are reserved from bit zero up, as they will never be passed in the upper bits of the mode argument of a mempolicy API. I set the MPOL_F_SHARED flag when the policy is installed in the shared policy rb-tree. Don't need/want to clear the flag when removing from the tree as the mempolicy is freed [unref'd] internally to the sp_delete() function. However, a task could hold another reference on this mempolicy from a prior lookup. We need the MPOL_F_SHARED flag to stay put so that any tasks holding a ref will unref, eventually freeing, the mempolicy. A later patch in this series will introduce a function to conditionally unref [mpol_free] a policy. The MPOL_F_SHARED flag is one reason [currently the only reason] to unref/free a policy via the conditional free. Signed-off-by:

The terms 'policy' and 'mode' are both used in various places to describe the semantics of the value stored in the 'policy' member of struct mempolicy. Furthermore, the term 'policy' is used to refer to that member, to the entire struct mempolicy and to the more abstract concept of the tuple consisting of a "mode" and an optional node or set of nodes. Recently, we have added "mode flags" that are passed in the upper bits of the 'mode' [or sometimes, 'policy'] member of the numa APIs. I'd like to resolve this confusion, which perhaps only exists in my mind, by renaming the 'policy' member to 'mode' throughout, and fixing up the Documentation. Man pages will be updated separately.

get_vma_policy() is not handling fallback to task policy correctly when the get_policy() vm_op returns NULL. The NULL overwrites the 'pol' variable that was holding the fallback task mempolicy. So, it was falling back directly to system default policy. Fix get_vma_policy() to use only non-NULL policy returned from the vma get_policy op. shm_get_policy() was falling back to current task's mempolicy if the "backing file system" [tmpfs vs hugetlbfs] does not support the get_policy vm_op and the vma policy is null. This is incorrect for show_numa_maps() which is likely querying the numa_maps of some task other than current. Remove this fallback. Signed-off-by:

A read of /proc/<pid>/numa_maps holds the target task's mmap_sem for read while examining each vma's mempolicy. A vma's mempolicy can fall back to the task's policy. However, the task could be changing it's task policy and free the one that the show_numa_maps() is examining. To prevent this, grab the mmap_sem for write when updating task mempolicy. Pointed out to me by Christoph Lameter and extracted and reworked from Christoph's alternative mempol reference counting patch. This is analogous to the way that do_mbind() and do_get_mempolicy() prevent races between task's sharing an mm_struct [a.k.a. threads] setting and querying a mempolicy for a particular address. Note: this is necessary, but not sufficient, to allow us to stop taking an extra reference on "other task's mempolicy" in get_vma_policy. Subsequent patches will complete this update, allowing us to simplify the tests for whether we need to unref a mempolicy at various points in the code. Signed-off-by:

This patch renames mpol_copy() to mpol_dup() because, well, that's what it does. Like, e.g., strdup() for strings, mpol_dup() takes a pointer to an existing mempolicy, allocates a new one and copies the contents. In a later patch, I want to use the name mpol_copy() to copy the contents from one mempolicy to another like, e.g., strcpy() does for strings. Signed-off-by:

This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman. Makes sense to me, so here it is. Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object. However, ... The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted, so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy. The mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of allocating a page based on the mempolicy. In that case, the task performing the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy. Signed-off-by:

Allocating huge pages directly from the buddy allocator is not guaranteed to succeed. Success depends on several factors (such as the amount of physical memory available and the level of fragmentation). With the addition of dynamic hugetlb pool resizing, allocations can occur much more frequently. For these reasons it is desirable to keep track of huge page allocation successes and failures. Add two new vmstat entries to track huge page allocations that succeed and fail. The presence of the two entries is contingent upon CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE being enabled.

Add some values of page flags to the vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. An old makedumpfile (v1.2.4 or before) had assumed some values of page flags internally, and this implementation could not follow the change of these values. For example, Christoph Lameter is changing these values by the follwing patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/463 So a new makedumpfile (v1.2.5) came to need these values and I created this patch to let the kernel output them.

Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned). Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler. However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return both. Signed-off-by:

vm_insert_mixed will insert either a raw pfn or a refcounted struct page into the page tables, depending on whether vm_normal_page() will return the page or not.

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted: vm_normal_page() { ... if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; #else if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) return NULL; #endif goto out; } ... } This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get slightly better code generation in the process): vm_normal_page() { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; return pte_page(pte); #else ... #endif } And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate. So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o. BTW: I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion. The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function -- the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions, while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

This series introduces some important infrastructure work. The overall result is that: 1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement this for s390. This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand, in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently, guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have 100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?) For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non- volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more attractive to a lot of these guys. 2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing, which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not) comes from. 3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up "oltp" on db2 by 10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these workloads. I'm hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not meant to justify this patchset (which doesn't include lockless gup), but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it on at least x86 and powerpc as well. This patch: Introduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP. This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in that it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without struct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount (PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations are mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non refcounted ranges). VM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not refcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because it needs to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg. for /dev/mem mappings).

Having separate page flags for the head and the tail of a compound page allows the compiler to use bitops instead of operations on a word to check for a tail page. That is f.e. important for virt_to_head_page() which is used in various critical code paths (kfree for example): Code for PageTail(page) Before: mov (%rdi),%rdx page->flags mov %rdx,%rax 3 bytes and $0x12000,%eax 5 bytes cmp $0x12000,%rax 6 bytes je 897 <kfree+0xa7> After: mov (%rdi),%rax test $0x40,%ah (3 bytes) jne 887 <kfree+0x97> So we go from 14 bytes to 3 bytes and from 3 instructions to one. From the use of 2 registers we go to none. We can only use page flags for this if we have page flags available. This patch introduces CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED that is set if pageflags are not scarce due to SPARSEMEM using page flags for its sectionid on 32 bit NUMA platforms. Additional page flag definitions can be added to the CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED section in page-flags.h if the functionality depends on PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED or if more page flag overlapping tricks are used for the !PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED fallback (the upcoming virtual compound patch may hook in here and Rik's/Lee's additional page flags to solve the reclaim issues could also be added there [hint... hint... where are these patchsets?]). Avoiding the overlaying of Pg_reclaim also clears the way for possible use of compound pages for the pagecache or on the LRU. Signed-off-by:

A set of patches that attempts to improve page flag handling. First of all a method is introduced to generate the page flag functions using macros. Then the number of page flags used by sparsemem is reduced. All page flag operations will no longer be macros. All flags will use inline function. Then we add a way to export enum constants to the preprocessor which allows us to get rid of __ZONE_COUNT and use the NR_PAGEFLAGS for the dynamic calculation of actually available page flags for fields.

Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated vmalloc memory. It allows to see the users of vmalloc. That is important if vmalloc space is scarce (i386 for example). And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc. Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback. This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no longer necessary to access the memory. /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how that reduction occurs. If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations fell back to virtual compound pages. That is important for new users of virtual compound pages. Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may fallback to virtual compound pages in the future. /proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible information leakage.

Parsing of new mode flags in the tmpfs mpol mount option is slightly broken: Setting a valid flag works OK: #mount -o remount,mpol=bind=static:1-2 /dev/shm #mount ... tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind=static:1-2) ... However, we can't remove them or change them, once we've set a valid flag: #mount -o remount,mpol=bind:1-2 /dev/shm #mount ... tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind:1-2) ... It SAYS it removed it, but that's just a copy of the input string. If we now try to set it to a different flag, we get: #mount -o remount,mpol=bind=relative:1-2 /dev/shm mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option And on the console, we see: tmpfs: Bad value 'bind' for mount option 'mpol' ^ lost remainder of string Furthermore, bogus flags are accepted with out error. Granted, they are a no-op: #mount -o remount,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3 /dev/shm #mount ... tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3) Again, that's just a copy of the input string shown by the mount command. This patch fixes the behavior by pre-zeroing the flags so that only one of the mutually exclusive flags can be set at one time. It also reports an error when an unrecognized flag is specified. The check for both flags being set is removed because it can't happen with this implementation. If we ever want to support multiple non-exclusive flags, this area will need rework and we will need to check that any mutually exclusive flags aren't specified. Signed-off-by:
