Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc. They have their own code to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar. From my guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management. KVM side wants to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages. When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me. I want to change this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this patch. This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying & pasting this reserved area management code. In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA reserved area management and now it's time to do it. This patch moves core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions. There is no functional change in DMA APIs. Signed-off-by:

PPC KVM's CMA area management requires arbitrary bitmap granularity, since they want to reserve very large memory and manage this region with bitmap that one bit for several pages to reduce management overheads. So support arbitrary bitmap granularity for following generalization. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/1/1UL/] Signed-off-by:

To prepare future generalization work on CMA area management code, we need to separate core CMA management codes from DMA APIs. We will extend these core functions to cover requirements of PPC KVM's CMA area management functionality in following patches. This separation helps us not to touch DMA APIs while extending core functions. Signed-off-by:

In store_mem_state(), we have: ... 334 else if (!strncmp(buf, "offline", min_t(int, count, 7))) 335 online_type = -1; ... 355 case -1: 356 ret = device_offline(&mem->dev); 357 break; ... Here, "offline" is hard coded as -1. This patch does the following renaming: ONLINE_KEEP -> MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP ONLINE_KERNEL -> MMOP_ONLINE_KERNEL ONLINE_MOVABLE -> MMOP_ONLINE_MOVABLE and introduces MMOP_OFFLINE = -1 to avoid hard coding.

We use the following command to online a memory_block: echo online|online_kernel|online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state But, if we do the following: echo online_fhsjkghfkd > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state the block will also be onlined. This is because the following code in store_mem_state() does not compare the whole string, but only the prefix of the string. store_mem_state() { ...... 328 if (!strncmp(buf, "online_kernel", min_t(int, count, 13))) Here, only compare the first 13 letters of the string. If we give "online_kernelXXXXXX", it will be recognized as online_kernel, which is incorrect. 329 online_type = ONLINE_KERNEL; 330 else if (!strncmp(buf, "online_movable", min_t(int, count, 14))) We have the same problem here, 331 online_type = ONLINE_MOVABLE; 332 else if (!strncmp(buf, "online", min_t(int, count, 6))) here, (Here is more problematic. If we give online_movalbe, which is a typo of online_movable, it will be recognized as online without noticing the author.) 333 online_type = ONLINE_KEEP; 334 else if (!strncmp(buf, "offline", min_t(int, count, 7))) and here. 335 online_type = -1; 336 else { 337 ret = -EINVAL; 338 goto err; 339 } ...... } This patch fixes this problem by using sysfs_streq() to compare the whole string.

Use ACCESS_ONCE() in handle_pte_fault() when getting the entry or orig_pte upon which all subsequent decisions and pte_same() tests will be made. I have no evidence that its lack is responsible for the mm/filemap.c:202 BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache() found by trinity, and I am not optimistic that it will fix it. But I have found no other explanation, and ACCESS_ONCE() here will surely not hurt. If gcc does re-access the pte before passing it down, then that would be disastrous for correct page fault handling, and certainly could explain the page_mapped() BUGs seen (concurrent fault causing page to be mapped in a second time on top of itself: mapcount 2 for a single pte).

Richard Yao reported a month ago that his system have a trouble with vmap_area_lock contention during performance analysis by /proc/meminfo. Andrew asked why his analysis checks /proc/meminfo stressfully, but he didn't answer it. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/10/416 Although I'm not sure that this is right usage or not, there is a solution reducing vmap_area_lock contention with no side-effect. That is just to use rcu list iterator in get_vmalloc_info(). rcu can be used in this function because all RCU protocol is already respected by writers, since Nick Piggin commit db64fe02 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") back in linux-2.6.28 Specifically : insertions use list_add_rcu(), deletions use list_del_rcu() and kfree_rcu(). Note the rb tree is not used from rcu reader (it would not be safe), only the vmap_area_list has full RCU protection. Note that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() already uses this rcu protection. rcu_read_lock(); list_for_each_entry_rcu(va, &vmap_area_list, list) { if (va->flags & VM_LAZY_FREE) { if (va->va_start < *start) *start = va->va_start; if (va->va_end > *end) *end = va->va_end; nr += (va->va_end - va->va_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT; list_add_tail(&va->purge_list, &valist); va->flags |= VM_LAZY_FREEING; va->flags &= ~VM_LAZY_FREE; } } rcu_read_unlock(); Peter: : While rcu list traversal over the vmap_area_list is safe, this may : arrive at different results than the spinlocked version. The rcu list : traversal version will not be a 'snapshot' of a single, valid instant : of the entire vmap_area_list, but rather a potential amalgam of : different list states. Joonsoo: : Yes, you are right, but I don't think that we should be strict here. : Meminfo is already not a 'snapshot' at specific time. While we try to get : certain stats, the other stats can change. And, although we may arrive at : different results than the spinlocked version, the difference would not be : large and would not make serious side-effect.

The return statement goes with the cmpxchg_double() condition so it needs to be indented another tab. Also these days the fashion is to line function parameters up, and it looks nicer that way because then the "freelist_new" is not at the same indent level as the "return 1;". Signed-off-by:

Now, we have separate alien_cache structure, so it'd be better to hold the lock on alien_cache while manipulating alien_cache. After that, we don't need the lock on array_cache, so remove it. Signed-off-by:
-
Joonsoo Kim authored
Currently, we use array_cache for alien_cache. Although they are mostly similar, there is one difference, that is, need for spinlock. We don't need spinlock for array_cache itself, but to use array_cache for alien_cache, array_cache structure should have spinlock. This is needless overhead, so removing it would be better. This patch prepare it by introducing alien_cache and using it. In the following patch, we remove spinlock in array_cache. Signed-off-by:

In free_block(), if freeing object makes new free slab and number of free_objects exceeds free_limit, we start to destroy this new free slab with holding the kmem_cache node lock. Holding the lock is useless and, generally, holding a lock as least as possible is good thing. I never measure performance effect of this, but we'd be better not to hold the lock as much as possible. Commented by Christoph: This is also good because kmem_cache_free is no longer called while holding the node lock. So we avoid one case of recursion. Signed-off-by:

node isn't changed, so we don't need to retreive this structure everytime we move the object. Maybe compiler do this optimization, but making it explicitly is better. Signed-off-by:

This patchset does some cleanup and tries to remove lockdep annotation. Patches 1~2 are just for really really minor improvement. Patches 3~9 are for clean-up and removing lockdep annotation. There are two cases that lockdep annotation is needed in SLAB. 1) holding two node locks 2) holding two array cache(alien cache) locks I looked at the code and found that we can avoid these cases without any negative effect. 1) occurs if freeing object makes new free slab and we decide to destroy it. Although we don't need to hold the lock during destroying a slab, current code do that. Destroying a slab without holding the lock would help the reduction of the lock contention. To do it, I change the implementation that new free slab is destroyed after releasing the lock. 2) occurs on similar situation. When we free object from non-local node, we put this object to alien cache with holding the alien cache lock. If alien cache is full, we try to flush alien cache to proper node cache, and, in this time, new free slab could be made. Destroying it would be started and we will free metadata object which comes from another node. In this case, we need another node's alien cache lock to free object. This forces us to hold two array cache locks and then we need lockdep annotation although they are always different locks and deadlock cannot be possible. To prevent this situation, I use same way as 1). In this way, we can avoid 1) and 2) cases, and then, can remove lockdep annotation. As short stat noted, this makes SLAB code much simpler. This patch (of 9): slab_should_failslab() is called on every allocation, so to optimize it is reasonable. We normally don't allocate from kmem_cache. It is just used when new kmem_cache is created, so it's very rare case. Therefore, add unlikely macro to help compiler optimization. Signed-off-by:

There are two versions of alloc/free hooks now - one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and another one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n. I see no reason why calls to other debugging subsystems (LOCKDEP, DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, KMEMCHECK and FAILSLAB) are hidden under SLUB_DEBUG. All this features should work regardless of SLUB_DEBUG config, as all of them already have own Kconfig options. This also fixes failslab for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n configuration. It simply has not worked before because should_failslab() call was in a hook hidden under "#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG #else". Note: There is one concealed change in allocation path for SLUB_DEBUG=n and all other debugging features disabled. The might_sleep_if() call can generate some code even if DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=n. For PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y might_sleep() inserts _cond_resched() call, but I think it should be ok. Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter authored
The patchset provides two new functions in mm/slab.h and modifies SLAB and SLUB to use these. The kmem_cache_node structure is shared between both allocators and the use of common accessors will allow us to move more code into slab_common.c in the future. This patch (of 3): These functions allow to eliminate repeatedly used code in both SLAB and SLUB and also allow for the insertion of debugging code that may be needed in the development process.
