alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a clean rewrite that keeps the semantics. bdata->last_pos has been dropped. bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather than its beginning. bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the node.

link_bootmem handles an insertion of a new descriptor into the sorted list in more or less three explicit branches; empty list, insert in between and append. These cases can be expressed implicite. Also mark the sorted list as initdata as it can be thrown away after boot as well. Signed-off-by:

With shared reservations (and now also with private reservations), we reserve huge pages at mmap time. We also account for the mapping against fs quota to prevent a reservation from being preempted by quota exhaustion. When testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite, I found a problem with quota accounting. FS quota for allocated pages is handled correctly but we are not releasing quota for private pages that were reserved but never allocated. Do this in hugetlb_vm_op_close() at the same time as unused page reservations are released. Signed-off-by:

When removing a huge page from the hugepage pool for a fault the system checks to see if the mapping requires additional pages to be reserved, and if it does whether there are any unreserved pages remaining. If not, the allocation fails without even attempting to get a page. In order to determine whether to apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma is MAP_PRIVATE and is the owner. This incorrectly triggers the remaining reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping. In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the process is not the original mapper. Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and update the caller. Signed-off-by:

Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values. For each supported huge page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a pgtable_cache. The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to functions so that they know which huge page size they should use. The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them. The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g. hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5). Signed-off-by:

The huge page size is defined for 16G pages. If a hugepagesz of 16G is specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the default 16M. The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K). Signed-off-by:

Allow configurations with the default huge page size which is different to the traditional HPAGE_SIZE size. The default huge page size is the one represented in the legacy /proc ABIs, SHM, and which is defaulted to when mounting hugetlbfs filesystems. This is implemented with a new kernel option default_hugepagesz=, which defaults to HPAGE_SIZE if not specified. Signed-off-by:

This is needed on x86-64 to handle GB pages in hugetlbfs, because it is not practical to enlarge MAX_ORDER to 1GB. Instead the 1GB pages are only allocated at boot using the bootmem allocator using the hugepages=... option. These 1G bootmem pages are never freed. In theory it would be possible to implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to currently. The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture. It is not very big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it. Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory allocated for gb pages in "Total". This is a little confusing for the user. Acked-by:

Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates in sysfs. There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages. Underneath that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size, e.g.: /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively. Within each hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.: /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are read-only. The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to match meminfo).

Add the ability to configure the hugetlb hstate used on a per mount basis. - Add a new pagesize= option to the hugetlbfs mount that allows setting the page size - This option causes the mount code to find the hstate corresponding to the specified size, and sets up a pointer to the hstate in the mount's superblock. - Change the hstate accessors to use this information rather than the global_hstate they were using (requires a slight change in mm/memory.c so we don't NULL deref in the error-unmap path -- see comments).

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc). The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they are operating on. This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it (default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the hstate. Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Acked-by:

Towards the end of putting all core mm initialization in mm_init.c, I plan on putting the creation of a mm kobject in a function in that file. However, the file is currently only compiled if CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set. Remove this dependency, but put the code under an #ifdef on the same config option.

Christoph recently added /proc/vmallocinfo file to get information about vmalloc allocations. This patch adds NUMA specific information, giving number of pages allocated on each memory node. This should help to check that vmalloc() is able to respect NUMA policies. Example of output on a four nodes machine (one cpu per node) 1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK) (Same point for inodes and dentries hash tables) 2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node (OK). 3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only. 4) each loaded module is using memory on one node. Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary. grep "pages=" /proc/vmallocinfo 0xffffc20000000000-0xffffc20000201000 2101248 alloc_large_system_hash+0x204/0x2c0 pages=512 vmalloc N0=128 N1=128 N2=128 N3=128 0xffffc20000201000-0xffffc20000302000 1052672 alloc_large_system_hash+0x204/0x2c0 pages=256 vmalloc N0=64 N1=64 N2=64 N3=64 0xffffc2000031a000-0xffffc2000031d000 12288 alloc_large_system_hash+0x204/0x2c0 pages=2 vmalloc N1=1 N2=1 0xffffc2000031f000-0xffffc2000032b000 49152 cramfs_uncompress_init+0x2e/0x80 pages=11 vmalloc N0=3 N1=3 N2=2 N3=3 0xffffc2000033e000-0xffffc20000341000 12288 sys_swapon+0x640/0xac0 pages=2 vmalloc N0=2 0xffffc20000341000-0xffffc20000344000 12288 xt_alloc_table_info+0xfe/0x130 [x_tables] pages=2 vmalloc N0=2 0xffffc20000344000-0xffffc20000347000 12288 xt_alloc_table_info+0xfe/0x130 [x_tables] pages=2 vmalloc N1=2 0xffffc20000347000-0xffffc2000034a000 12288 xt_alloc_table_info+0xfe/0x130 [x_tables] pages=2 vmalloc N2=2 0xffffc2000034a000-0xffffc2000034d000 12288 xt_alloc_table_info+0xfe/0x130 [x_tables] pages=2 vmalloc N3=2 0xffffc20004381000-0xffffc20004402000 528384 alloc_large_system_hash+0x204/0x2c0 pages=128 vmalloc N0=32 N1=32 N2=32 N3=32 0xffffc20004402000-0xffffc20004803000 4198400 alloc_large_system_hash+0x204/0x2c0 pages=1024 vmalloc vpages N0=256 N1=256 N2=256 N3=256 0xffffc20004803000-0xffffc20004904000 1052672 alloc_large_system_hash+0x204/0x2c0 pages=256 vmalloc N0=64 N1=64 N2=64 N3=64 0xffffc20004904000-0xffffc20004bec000 3047424 sys_swapon+0x640/0xac0 pages=743 vmalloc vpages N0=743 0xffffffffa0000000-0xffffffffa000f000 61440 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=14 vmalloc N1=14 0xffffffffa000f000-0xffffffffa0014000 20480 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4 0xffffffffa0014000-0xffffffffa0017000 12288 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=2 vmalloc N0=2 0xffffffffa0017000-0xffffffffa0022000 45056 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=10 vmalloc N1=10 0xffffffffa0022000-0xffffffffa0028000 24576 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=5 vmalloc N3=5 0xffffffffa0028000-0xffffffffa0050000 163840 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=39 vmalloc N1=39 0xffffffffa0050000-0xffffffffa0052000 8192 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=1 vmalloc N1=1 0xffffffffa0052000-0xffffffffa0056000 16384 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffffffa0056000-0xffffffffa0081000 176128 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=42 vmalloc N3=42 0xffffffffa0081000-0xffffffffa00ae000 184320 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=44 vmalloc N3=44 0xffffffffa00ae000-0xffffffffa00b1000 12288 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=2 vmalloc N3=2 0xffffffffa00b1000-0xffffffffa00b9000 32768 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=7 vmalloc N0=7 0xffffffffa00b9000-0xffffffffa00c4000 45056 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=10 vmalloc N3=10 0xffffffffa00c6000-0xffffffffa00e0000 106496 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=25 vmalloc N2=25 0xffffffffa00e0000-0xffffffffa00f1000 69632 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=16 vmalloc N2=16 0xffffffffa00f1000-0xffffffffa00f4000 12288 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=2 vmalloc N3=2 0xffffffffa00f4000-0xffffffffa00f7000 12288 sys_init_module+0xc27/0x1d00 pages=2 vmalloc N3=2 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment] Signed-off-by:

We have a request for tmpfs to support the AIO interface: easily done, no more than replacing the old shmem_file_read by shmem_file_aio_read, cribbed from generic_file_aio_read. (In 2.6.25 its write side was already changed to use generic_file_aio_write.) Incorporate cleanups from Andrew Morton and Harvey Harrison. Tests out fine with LTP's ltp-aiodio.sh, given hacks (not included) to support O_DIRECT. tmpfs cannot honestly support O_DIRECT: its cache-avoiding-IO nature is at odds with direct IO-avoiding-cache.

As akpm points out, there's really no need for generic_file_aio_read to make a special case of count 0: just loop through nr_segs doing nothing. And as Harvey Harrison points out, there's no need to reset retval to 0 where it's already 0. Setting count (or ocount) to 0 before calling generic_segment_checks is unnecessary too; but reluctantly I'll leave that removal to someone with a wider range of gcc versions to hand - 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 don't warn about it, but perhaps others do - I forget which are the warniest versions.

When a hugetlb mapping with a reservation is split, a new VMA is cloned from the original. This new VMA is a direct copy of the original including the reservation count. When this pair of VMAs are unmapped we will incorrect double account the unused reservation and the overall reservation count will be incorrect, in extreme cases it will wrap. The problem occurs when we split an existing VMA say to unmap a page in the middle. split_vma() will create a new VMA copying all fields from the original. As we are storing our reservation count in vm_private_data this is also copies, endowing the new VMA with a duplicate of the original VMA's reservation. Neither of the new VMAs can exhaust these reservations as they are too small, but when we unmap and close these VMAs we will incorrect credit the remainder twice and resv_huge_pages will become out of sync. This can lead to allocation failures on mappings with reservations and even to resv_huge_pages wrapping which prevents all subsequent hugepage allocations. The simple fix would be to correctly apportion the remaining reservation count when the split is made. However the only hook we have vm_ops->open only has the new VMA we do not know the identity of the preceeding VMA. Also even if we did have that VMA to hand we do not know how much of the reservation was consumed each side of the split. This patch therefore takes a different tack. We know that the whole of any private mapping (which has a reservation) has a reservation over its whole size. Any present pages represent consumed reservation. Therefore if we track the instantiated pages we can calculate the remaining reservation. This patch reuses the existing regions code to track the regions for which we have consumed reservation (ie. the instantiated pages), as each page is faulted in we record the consumption of reservation for the new page. When we need to return unused reservations at unmap time we simply count the consumed reservation region subtracting that from the whole of the map. During a VMA split the newly opened VMA will point to the same region map, as this map is offset oriented it remains valid for both of the split VMAs. This map is referenced counted so that it is removed when all VMAs which are part of the mmap are gone. Thanks to Adam Litke and Mel Gorman for their review feedback. Signed-off-by:

By default all shared mappings and most private mappings now have reservations associated with them. This improves semantics by providing allocation guarentees to the mapper. However a small number of applications may attempt to make very large sparse mappings, with these strict reservations the system will never be able to honour the mapping. This patch set brings MAP_NORESERVE support to hugetlb files. This allows new mappings to be made to hugetlbfs files without an associated reservation, for both shared and private mappings. This allows applications which want to create very sparse mappings to opt-out of the reservation system. Obviously as there is no reservation they are liable to fault at runtime if the huge page pool becomes exhausted; buyer beware. Signed-off-by:
