Recently, Robert Mueller reported (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/12/236) that zone_reclaim_mode doesn't work properly on his new NUMA server (Dual Xeon E5520 + Intel S5520UR MB). He is using Cyrus IMAPd and it's built on a very traditional single-process model. * a master process which reads config files and manages the other process * multiple imapd processes, one per connection * multiple pop3d processes, one per connection * multiple lmtpd processes, one per connection * periodical "cleanup" processes. There are thousands of independent processes. The problem is, recent Intel motherboard turn on zone_reclaim_mode by default and traditional prefork model software don't work well on it. Unfortunatelly, such models are still typical even in the 21st century. We can't ignore them. This patch raises the zone_reclaim_mode threshold to 30. 30 doesn't have any specific meaning. but 20 means that one-hop QPI/Hypertransport and such relatively cheap 2-4 socket machine are often used for traditional servers as above. The intention is that these machines don't use zone_reclaim_mode. Note: ia64 and Power have arch specific RECLAIM_DISTANCE definitions. This patch doesn't change such high-end NUMA machine behavior. Dave Hansen said: : I know specifically of pieces of x86 hardware that set the information : in the BIOS to '21' *specifically* so they'll get the zone_reclaim_mode : behavior which that implies. : : They've done performance testing and run very large and scary benchmarks : to make sure that they _want_ this turned on. What this means for them : is that they'll probably be de-optimized, at least on newer versions of : the kernel. : : If you want to do this for particular systems, maybe _that_'s what we : should do. Have a list of specific configurations that need the : defaults overridden either because they're buggy, or they have an : unusual hardware configuration not really reflected in the distance : table. And later said: : The original change in the hardware tables was for the benefit of a : benchmark. Said benchmark isn't going to get run on mainline until the : next batch of enterprise distros drops, at which point the hardware where : this was done will be irrelevant for the benchmark. I'm sure any new : hardware will just set this distance to another yet arbitrary value to : make the kernel do what it wants. :) : : Also, when the hardware got _set_ to this initially, I complained. So, I : guess I'm getting my way now, with this patch. I'm cool with it.

While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they never release a token. Why? Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting. And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process often get a token. And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path. Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable. This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load) Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then system may become unresponsive. That's bad. This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

Commit e9c7469b ("md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support") introduced R5_WantFUA flag and set rw to WRITE_FUA in that case. However remaining code still checks whether rw is exactly same as WRITE or not, so FUAed-write ends up with being treated as READ. Fix it. This bug has been present since 2.6.37 and the fix is suitable for any -stable kernel since then. It is not clear why this has not caused more problems.

Older m68k-linux compilers will include pre-defined symbols that confuse what processor it is being targeted for. For example gcc-4.1.2 will pre-define __mc68020__ even if you specify the target processor as -m68000 on the gcc command line. Newer versions of gcc have this corrected. In a few places the m68k code uses defined(__mc68020__) for optimizations that include instructions that are specific to the CPU 68020 and above. When compiling with older compilers this will be true even when we have selected to compile for the older 68000 processors. Switch to using the kernel processor defines, CONFIG_M68020 and friends.

Drivers using multiple framebuffers got broken by commit 41c2e75e which ignored the framebuffer (or register) map offset when looking for existing maps. The rationale was that the kernel-userspace ABI is fixed at a 32-bit offset, so the real offsets could not always be handed over for comparison. Instead of ignoring the offset we will compare the lower 32 bit. Drivers using multiple framebuffers should just make sure that the lower 32 bit are different. The existing drivers in question are practically limited to 32-bit systems so that should be fine for them. It is assumed that current drivers always specify a correct framebuffer map offset, even if this offset was ignored since above commit. So this patch should not change anything for drivers using only one framebuffer. Drivers needing multiple framebuffers with 64-bit map offsets will need to cook up something, for instance keeping an ID in the lower bit which is to be aligned away when it comes to using the offset. All of above applies to _DRM_REGISTERS as well. Signed-off-by: Tormod Volden <debian.tormod@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
