SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size. The arch code may decide to not activate such a node. However, currently the early boot code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes. These nodes therefore seem to be active although these nodes have no present pages. For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai@kernel.org> Tested-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The oom killer must be invoked regardless of the order if the allocation is __GFP_NOFAIL, otherwise it will loop forever when reclaim fails to free some memory.

This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score. This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future memory freeing anyway. Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other thread groups).

David Rientjes authored
The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory freeing. This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM size for the badness heuristic. This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same task during the next retry. Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be necessary. Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

Presently we can know a swap entry is just used as SwapCache via swap_map, without looking up swap cache. Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in get_swap_pages(). This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not enough. Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free cluster. Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel to reclaim unused swap.

This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak. But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg. There are 2 kinds of references to swap. - reference from swap entry - reference from swap cache Then, - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache. (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[], current usage of counter is not very good. This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map. This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that. 2 interfaces: - swapcache_prepare() - swapcache_free() are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

Solve two problems. Whenever memory hotplug sucessfully happens, zone->present_pages have to be changed. 1) Now memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmark_min only when online_pages called, not offline_pages. It breaks balance. 2) If zone->present_pages is changed, we also have to change zone->inactive_ratio. That's because inactive_ratio depends on zone->present_pages.

That's because Mel changed zone->pages_[hig/low/min] to zone->watermark array in "page allocator: replace the watermark-related union in struct zone with a watermark[] array". * setup_per_zone_pages_min => setup_per_zone_wmarks Of course, we have to change init_per_zone_pages_min, too.

page-allocator: use integer fields lookup for gfp_zone and check for errors in flags passed to the page allocator This simplifies the code in gfp_zone() and also keeps the ability of the compiler to use constant folding to get rid of gfp_zone processing. The lookup of the zone is done using a bitfield stored in an integer. So the code in gfp_zone is a simple extraction of bits from a constant bitfield. The compiler is generating a load of a constant into a register and then performs a shift and mask operation to get the zone from a gfp_t. No cachelines are touched and no branches have to be predicted by the compiler. We are doing some macro tricks here to convince the compiler to always do the constant folding if possible.

migrate_prep() is fairly expensive (72us on 16-core barcelona 1.9GHz). Commit 3140a227 improved move_pages() throughput by breaking it into chunks, but it also made migrate_prep() be called once per chunk (every 128pages or so) instead of once per move_pages(). This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did before 2.6.29. It is also a followup to commit 0aedadf9 ("mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_sem"). This improves migration throughput on the above machine from 600MB/s to 750MB/s.

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory: * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend. * Free pages are almost exhausted. * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the OOM killer. * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so it doesn't die immediately. * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer. * No progress can be made. Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even more likely to happen during hibernation. To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

__GFP_NOFAIL is a bad fiction. Allocations _can_ fail, and callers should detect and suitably handle this (and not by lamely moving the infinite loop up to the caller level either). Attempting to use __GFP_NOFAIL for a higher-order allocation is even worse, so add a once-off runtime check for this to slap people around for even thinking about trying it.

Since videobuf-dma-contig is designed to handle physically contiguous memory, this patch modifies the videobuf-dma-contig code to only accept a user space pointer to physically contiguous memory. For now only VM_PFNMAP vmas are supported, so forget hotplug. On SuperH Mobile we use this with our sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver together with various multimedia accelerator blocks that are exported to user space using UIO. The UIO kernel code exports physically contiguous memory to user space and lets the user space application mmap() this memory and pass a pointer using the USERPTR interface for V4L2 zero copy operation. With this approach we support zero copy capture, hardware scaling and various forms of hardware encoding and decoding.

The lru->nr_saved_scan's are not meaningful counters for even kernel developers. They typically are smaller than 32 and are always 0 for large lists. So remove them from /proc/zoneinfo. Hopefully this interface change won't break too many scripts. /proc/zoneinfo is too unstructured to be script friendly, and I wonder the affected scripts - if there are any - are still bleeding since the not long ago commit "vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets", which also touched the "scanned" line :) If we are to re-export accumulated vmscan counts in the future, they can go to new lines in /proc/zoneinfo instead of the current form, or to /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo?

When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those pages first, before considering evicting other pages. This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems because only three things can happen to an inactive file page: 1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list 2) evicted by the pageout code 3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO, this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the normal pageout pattern.

A series of patches to enhance the /proc/pagemap interface and to add a userspace executable which can be used to present the pagemap data. Export 10 more flags to end users (and more for kernel developers): 11. KPF_MMAP (pseudo flag) memory mapped page 12. KPF_ANON (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous) 13. KPF_SWAPCACHE page is in swap cache 14. KPF_SWAPBACKED page is swap/RAM backed 15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD (*) 16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL (*) 17. KPF_HUGE hugeTLB pages 18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE page is in the unevictable LRU list 19. KPF_HWPOISON hardware detected corruption 20.

alloc_large_system_hash() has logic for freeing pages at the end of an excessively large power-of-two buffer that is a duplicate of what is in alloc_pages_exact(). This patch converts alloc_large_system_hash() to use alloc_pages_exact().

Callers may speculatively call different allocators in order of preference trying to allocate a buffer of a given size. The order needed to allocate this may be larger than what the page allocator can normally handle. While the allocator mostly does the right thing, it should not direct reclaim or wakeup kswapd with a bogus order. This patch sanity checks the order in the slow path and returns NULL if it is too large.
