At least since the initial git commit, when base was passed as a separate parameter, number() has only been called with bases 8, 10 and 16. I'm guessing that 66 was to accommodate 64 0/1, a sign and a '\0', but the buffer is only used for the actual digits. Octal digits carry 3 bits of information, so 24 is enough. Spell that 3*sizeof(num) so one less place needs to be changed should long long ever be 128 bits. Also remove the commented-out code that would handle an arbitrary base. Signed-off-by:

Since FORMAT_TYPE_INT is simply 1 more than FORMAT_TYPE_UINT, and similarly for BYTE/UBYTE, SHORT/USHORT, LONG/ULONG, we can eliminate a few instructions by making SIGN have the value 1 instead of 2, and then use arithmetic instead of branches for computing the right spec->type. It's a little hacky, but certainly in the same spirit as SMALL needing to have the value 0x20. For example for the spec->qualifier == 'l' case, gcc now generates 75e: 0f b6 53 01 movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx 762: 83 e2 01 and $0x1,%edx 765: 83 c2 09 add $0x9,%edx 768: 88 13 mov %dl,(%rbx) instead of 763: 0f b6 53 01 movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx 767: 83 e2 02 and $0x2,%edx 76a: 80 fa 01 cmp $0x1,%dl 76d: 19 d2 sbb %edx,%edx 76f: 83 c2 0a add $0xa,%edx 772: 88 13 mov %dl,(%rbx) Signed-off-by: -

KERN_CONT is nicely commented in kern_levels.h, but pr_cont() is now used more often, and it lacks the comment stating what it is used for. It can be confused as continuing the log level, but that is not its purpose. Its purpose is to continue a line that had no newline enclosed. This should be documented by pr_cont() as well.

The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling /sbin/reboot. This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on platforms that do not use ACPI. orderly_reboot() should be used when the system wants to allow userspace to gracefully shut itself down. For cases where the system may imminently catch on fire, the existing emergency_restart() provides an immediate reboot without involving userspace. Signed-off-by:

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems, supporting multiple users is not necessary. This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled under CONFIG_EXPERT menu. When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case and processes always have all capabilities. The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid, setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups, getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset. Also, groups.c is compiled out completely. In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid adding two ifdef blocks. This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much. The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work. Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

There is no point in overriding the size class below. It causes fatal corruption on the next chunk on the 3264-bytes size class, which is the last size class that is not huge. For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current zsmalloc allocates and returns a chunk from the size class of 3264 bytes, not 4096. User access to this chunk may overwrite head of the next adjacent chunk. Here is the panic log captured when freelist was corrupted due to this: Kernel BUG at ffffffc00030659c [verbose debug info unavailable] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: exynos-snapshot: core register saved(CPU:5) CPUMERRSR: 0000000000000000, L2MERRSR: 0000000000000000 exynos-snapshot: context saved(CPU:5) exynos-snapshot: item - log_kevents is disabled CPU: 5 PID: 898 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.10.61-4497415-eng #1 task: ffffffc0b8783d80 ti: ffffffc0b71e8000 task.ti: ffffffc0b71e8000 PC is at obj_idx_to_offset+0x0/0x1c LR is at obj_malloc+0x44/0xe8 pc : [<ffffffc00030659c>] lr : [<ffffffc000306604>] pstate: a0000045 sp : ffffffc0b71eb790 x29: ffffffc0b71eb790 x28: ffffffc00204c000 x27: 000000000001d96f x26: 0000000000000000 x25: ffffffc098cc3500 x24: ffffffc0a13f2810 x23: ffffffc098cc3501 x22: ffffffc0a13f2800 x21: 000011e1a02006e3 x20: ffffffc0a13f2800 x19: ffffffbc02a7e000 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000feb x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 00000000a01003e3 x13: 0000000000000020 x12: fffffffffffffff0 x11: ffffffc08b264000 x10: 00000000e3a01004 x9 : ffffffc08b263fea x8 : ffffffc0b1e611c0 x7 : ffffffc000307d24 x6 : 0000000000000000 x5 : 0000000000000038 x4 : 000000000000011e x3 : ffffffbc00003e90 x2 : 0000000000000cc0 x1 : 00000000d0100371 x0 : ffffffbc00003e90 Reported-by:Sooyong Suk <s.suk@samsung.com> Signed-off-by:

Briefly describe exported device stat attrs in zram documentation. We will eventually get rid of per-stat sysfs nodes and, thus, clean up Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram file, which is the only source of information about device sysfs nodes. Add `num_migrated' description, since there is no independent `num_migrated' sysfs node (and no corresponding sysfs-block-zram entry), it will be exported via zram<id>/mm_stat file.

This patch introduces rework to zram stats. We have per-stat sysfs nodes, and it makes things a bit hard to use in user space: it doesn't give an immediate stats 'snapshot', it requires user space to use more syscalls - open, read, close for every stat file, with appropriate error checks on every step, etc. First, zram now accounts block layer statistics, available in /sys/block/zram<id>/stat and /proc/diskstats files. So some new stats are available (see Documentation/block/stat.txt), besides, zram's activities now can be monitored by sysstat's iostat or similar tools. Example: cat /sys/block/zram0/stat 248 0 1984 0 251029 0 2008232 5120 0 5116 5116 Second, group currently exported on per-stat basis nodes into two categories (files): -- zram<id>/io_stat accumulates device's IO stats, that are not accounted by block layer, and contains: failed_reads failed_writes invalid_io notify_free Example: cat /sys/block/zram0/io_stat 0 0 0 652572 -- zram<id>/mm_stat accumulates zram mm stats and contains: orig_data_size compr_data_size mem_used_total mem_limit mem_used_max zero_pages num_migrated Example: cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 434634752 270288572 279158784 0 579895296 15060 0 per-stat sysfs nodes are now considered to be deprecated and we plan to remove them (and clean up some of the existing stat code) in two years (as of now, there is no warning printed to syslog about deprecated stats being used). User space is advised to use the above mentioned 3 files. This patch (of 7): Remove sysfs `num_migrated' attribute. We are moving away from per-stat device attrs towards 3 stat files that will accumulate io and mm stats in a format similar to block layer statistics in /sys/block/<dev>/stat. That will be easier to use in user space, and reduce the number of syscalls needed to read zram device statistics. `num_migrated' will return back in zram<id>/mm_stat file. Signed-off-by: -

We store handle on header of each allocated object so it increases the size of each object by sizeof(unsigned long). If zram stores 4096 bytes to zsmalloc(ie, bad compression), zsmalloc needs 4104B-class to add handle. However, 4104B-class has 1-pages_per_zspage so wasted size by internal fragment is 8192 - 4104, which is terrible. So this patch records the handle in page->private on such huge object(ie, pages_per_zspage == 1 && maxobj_per_zspage == 1) instead of header of each object so we could use 4096B-class, not 4104B-class.

Curretly, zsmalloc regards a zspage as ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if the zspage has under 1/4 used objects(ie, fullness_threshold_frac). It could make result in loose packing since zsmalloc migrates only ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY zspage out. This patch changes the rule so that zsmalloc makes zspage which has above 3/4 used object ZS_ALMOST_FULL so it could make tight packing. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion policy is simple as follows. for each size class { while { src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!src_page) break; dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL if (!dst_page) dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!dst_page) break; migrate(from src_page, to dst_page); } } For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie, OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check whether the object is allocated easily. This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and new object.

Recently, we started to use zram heavily and some of issues popped. 1) external fragmentation I got a report from Juneho Choi that fork failed although there are plenty of free pages in the system. His investigation revealed zram is one of the culprit to make heavy fragmentation so there was no more contiguous 16K page for pgd to fork in the ARM. 2) non-movable pages Other problem of zram now is that inherently, user want to use zram as swap in small memory system so they use zRAM with CMA to use memory efficiently. However, unfortunately, it doesn't work well because zRAM cannot use CMA's movable pages unless it doesn't support compaction. I got several reports about that OOM happened with zram although there are lots of swap space and free space in CMA area. 3) internal fragmentation zRAM has started support memory limitation feature to limit memory usage and I sent a patchset(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/21/148) for VM to be harmonized with zram-swap to stop anonymous page reclaim if zram consumed memory up to the limit although there are free space on the swap. One problem for that direction is zram has no way to know any hole in memory space zsmalloc allocated by internal fragmentation so zram would regard swap is full although there are free space in zsmalloc. For solving the issue, zram want to trigger compaction of zsmalloc before it decides full or not. This patchset is first step to support above issues. For that, it adds indirect layer between handle and object location and supports manual compaction to solve 3th problem first of all. After this patchset got merged, next step is to make VM aware of zsmalloc compaction so that generic compaction will move zsmalloced-pages automatically in runtime. In my imaginary experiment(ie, high compress ratio data with heavy swap in/out on 8G zram-swap), data is as follows, Before = zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes zram total used: 140103680 bytes ratio: 42.98 percent MemFree: 840192 kB Compaction After = frag ratio after compaction zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes zram total used: 76185600 bytes ratio: 79.03 percent MemFree: 901932 kB Juneho reported below in his real platform with small aging. So, I think the benefit would be bigger in real aging system for a long time. - frag_ratio increased 3% (ie, higher is better) - memfree increased about 6MB - In buddy info, Normal 2^3: 4, 2^2: 1: 2^1 increased, Highmem: 2^1 21 increased frag ratio after swap fragment used : 156677 kbytes total: 166092 kbytes frag_ratio : 94 meminfo before compaction MemFree: 83724 kB Node 0, zone Normal 13642 1364 57 10 61 17 9 5 4 0 0 Node 0, zone HighMem 425 29 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 num_migrated : 23630 compaction done frag ratio after compaction used : 156673 kbytes total: 160564 kbytes frag_ratio : 97 meminfo after compaction MemFree: 89060 kB Node 0, zone Normal 14076 1544 67 14 61 17 9 5 4 0 0 Node 0, zone HighMem 863 50 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This patchset adds more logics(about 480 lines) in zsmalloc but when I tested heavy swapin/out program, the regression for swapin/out speed is marginal because most of overheads were caused by compress/decompress and other MM reclaim stuff. This patch (of 7): Currently, handle of zsmalloc encodes object's location directly so it makes support of migration hard. This patch decouples handle and object via adding indirect layer. For that, it allocates handle dynamically and returns it to user. The handle is the address allocated by slab allocation so it's unique and we could keep object's location in the memory space allocated for handle. With it, we can change object's position without changing handle itself. Signed-off-by:

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case. In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call default_splice_read/write. What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is. For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...). Signed-off-by:

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway. Signed-off-by:Kirill A.

A lot of filesystems use generic_file_mmap() and filemap_fault(), f_op->mmap and vm_ops->fault aren't enough to identify filesystem. This prints file name, vm_ops->fault, f_op->mmap and a_ops->readpage (which is almost always implemented and filesystem-specific). Example: [ 23.676410] BUG: Bad page map in process sh pte:1b7e6025 pmd:19bbd067 [ 23.676887] page:ffffea00006df980 count:4 mapcount:1 mapping:ffff8800196426c0 index:0x97 [ 23.677481] flags: 0x10000000000000c(referenced|uptodate) [ 23.677896] page dumped because: bad pte [ 23.678205] addr:00007f52fcb17000 vm_flags:00000075 anon_vma: (null) mapping:ffff8800196426c0 index:97 [ 23.678922] file:libc-2.19.so fault:filemap_fault mmap:generic_file_readonly_mmap readpage:v9fs_vfs_readpage [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_alert, per Kirill] Signed-off-by:
