get_dirty_limits() calls clip_bdi_dirty_limit() and task_dirty_limit() with variable pbdi_dirty as one of the arguments. This variable is an unsigned long * but both functions expect it to be a long *. This causes the following sparse warnings: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different signedness) expected long *pbdi_dirty got unsigned long *pbdi_dirty warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) expected long *pdirty got unsigned long *pbdi_dirty Fix the warnings by changing the long * to unsigned long * in both functions.

Commit 33c120ed ("more aggressively use lumpy reclaim") increased how aggressive lumpy reclaim was by isolating both active and inactive pages for asynchronous lumpy reclaim on costly-high-order pages and for cheap-high-order when memory pressure is high. However, if the system is under heavy pressure and there are dirty pages, asynchronous IO may not be sufficient to reclaim a suitable page in time. This patch causes the caller to enter synchronous lumpy reclaim for costly-high-order pages and for cheap-high-order pages when under memory pressure. Minchan.kim@gmail.com said: Andy added synchronous lumpy reclaim with c661b078. At that time, lumpy reclaim is not agressive. His intension is just for high-order users.(above PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). After some time, Rik added aggressive lumpy reclaim with 33c120ed. His intention was to do lumpy reclaim when high-order users and trouble getting a small set of contiguous pages. So we also have to add synchronous pageout for small set of contiguous pages.

Now that we do readahead for sequential mmap reads, here is a simple evaluation of the impacts, and one further optimization. It's an NFS-root debian desktop system, readahead size = 60 pages. The numbers are grabbed after a fresh boot into console. approach pgmajfault RA miss ratio mmap IO count avg IO size(pages) A 383 31.6% 383 11 B 225 32.4% 390 11 C 224 32.6% 307 13 case A: mmap sync/async readahead disabled case B: mmap sync/async readahead enabled, with enforced full async readahead size case C: mmap sync/async readahead enabled, with enforced full sync/async readahead size or: A = vanilla 2.6.30-rc1 B = A plus mmap readahead C = B plus this patch The numbers show that - there are good possibilities for random mmap reads to trigger readahead - 'pgmajfault' is reduced by 1/3, due to the _async_ nature of readahead - case C can further reduce IO count by 1/4 - readahead miss ratios are not quite affected The theory is - readahead is _good_ for clustered random reads, and can perform _better_ than readaround because they could be _async_. - async readahead size is guaranteed to be larger than readaround size, and they are _async_, hence will mostly behave better However for B - sync readahead size could be smaller than readaround size, hence may make things worse by produce more smaller IOs which will be fixed by this patch. Final conclusion: - mmap readahead reduced major faults by 1/3 and no obvious overheads; - mmap io can be further reduced by 1/4 with this patch. Signed-off-by:

Introduce page cache context based readahead algorithm. This is to better support concurrent read streams in general. RATIONALE --------- The current readahead algorithm detects interleaved reads in a _passive_ way. Given a sequence of interleaved streams 1,1001,2,1002,3,4,1003,5,1004,1005,6,... By checking for (offset == prev_offset + 1), it will discover the sequentialness between 3,4 and between 1004,1005, and start doing sequential readahead for the individual streams since page 4 and page 1005. The context readahead algorithm guarantees to discover the sequentialness no matter how the streams are interleaved. For the above example, it will start sequential readahead since page 2 and 1002. The trick is to poke for page @offset-1 in the page cache when it has no other clues on the sequentialness of request @offset: if the current requenst belongs to a sequential stream, that stream must have accessed page @offset-1 recently, and the page will still be cached now. So if page @offset-1 is there, we can take request @offset as a sequential access. BENEFICIARIES ------------- - strictly interleaved reads i.e. 1,1001,2,1002,3,1003,... the current readahead will take them as silly random reads; the context readahead will take them as two sequential streams. - cooperative IO processes i.e. NFS and SCST They create a thread pool, farming off (sequential) IO requests to different threads which will be performing interleaved IO. It was not easy(or possible) to reliably tell from file->f_ra all those cooperative processes working on the same sequential stream, since they will have different file->f_ra instances. And NFSD's file->f_ra is particularly unusable, since their file objects are dynamically created for each request. The nfsd does have code trying to restore the f_ra bits, but not satisfactory. The new scheme is to detect the sequential pattern via looking up the page cache, which provides one single and consistent view of the pages recently accessed. That makes sequential detection for cooperative processes possible. USER REPORT ----------- Vladislav recommends the addition of context readahead as a result of his SCST benchmarks. It leads to 6%~40% performance gains in various cases and achieves equal performance in others. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/19/239 OVERHEADS --------- In theory, it introduces one extra page cache lookup per random read. However the below benchmark shows context readahead to be slightly faster, wondering.. Randomly reading 200MB amount of data on a sparse file, repeat 20 times for each block size. The average throughputs are: original ra context ra gain 4K random reads: 65.561MB/s 65.648MB/s +0.1% 16K random reads: 124.767MB/s 124.951MB/s +0.1% 64K random reads: 162.123MB/s 162.278MB/s +0.1% Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Tested-by:

Mmap read-around now shares the same code style and data structure with readahead code. This also removes do_page_cache_readahead(). Its last user, mmap read-around, has been changed to call ra_submit(). The no-readahead-if-congested logic is dumped by the way. Users will be pretty sensitive about the slow loading of executables. So it's unfavorable to disabled mmap read-around on a congested queue. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

We need this in one particular case and two more general ones. Now we do async readahead for sequential mmap reads, and do it with the help of PG_readahead. For normal reads, PG_readahead is the sufficient condition to do a sequential readahead. But unfortunately, for mmap reads, there is a tiny nuisance: [11736.998347] readahead-init0(process: sh/23926, file: sda1/w3m, offset=0:4503599627370495, ra=0+4-3) = 4 [11737.014985] readahead-around(process: w3m/23926, file: sda1/w3m, offset=0:0, ra=290+32-0) = 17 [11737.019488] readahead-around(process: w3m/23926, file: sda1/w3m, offset=0:0, ra=118+32-0) = 32 [11737.024921] readahead-interleaved(process: w3m/23926, file: sda1/w3m, offset=0:2, ra=4+6-6) = 6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An unfavorably small readahead. The original dumb read-around size could be more efficient. That happened because ld-linux.so does a read(832) in L1 before mmap(), which triggers a 4-page readahead, with the second page tagged PG_readahead. L0: open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 L1: read(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\340\342"..., 832) = 832 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L2: fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1420624, ...}) = 0 L3: mmap(NULL, 3527256, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x7fac6e51d000 L4: mprotect(0x7fac6e671000, 2097152, PROT_NONE) = 0 L5: mmap(0x7fac6e871000, 20480, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x154000) = 0x7fac6e871000 L6: mmap(0x7fac6e876000, 16984, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fac6e876000 L7: close(3) = 0 In general, the PG_readahead flag will also be hit in cases - sequential reads - clustered random reads A full readahead size is desirable in both cases.

Auto-detect sequential mmap reads and do readahead for them. The sequential mmap readahead will be triggered when - sync readahead: it's a major fault and (prev_offset == offset-1); - async readahead: minor fault on PG_readahead page with valid readahead state. The benefits of doing readahead instead of read-around: - less I/O wait thanks to async readahead - double real I/O size and no more cache hits The single stream case is improved a little. For 100,000 sequential mmap reads: user system cpu total (1-1) plain -mm, 128KB readaround: 3.224 2.554 48.40% 11.838 (1-2) plain -mm, 256KB readaround: 3.170 2.392 46.20% 11.976 (2) patched -mm, 128KB readahead: 3.117 2.448 47.33% 11.607 The patched (2) has smallest total time, since it has no cache hit overheads and less I/O block time(thanks to async readahead). Here the I/O size makes no much difference, since there's only one single stream. Note that (1-1)'s real I/O size is 64KB and (1-2)'s real I/O size is 128KB, since the half of the read-around pages will be readahead cache hits. This is going to make _real_ differences for _concurrent_ IO streams. Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: -

This shouldn't really change behavior all that much, but the single rather complex function with read-ahead inside a loop etc is broken up into more manageable pieces. The behaviour is also less subtle, with the read-ahead being done up-front rather than inside some subtle loop and thus avoiding the now unnecessary extra state variables (ie "did_readaround" is gone). Fengguang: the code split in fact fixed a bug reported by Pavel Levshin: the PGMAJFAULT accounting used to be bypassed when MADV_RANDOM is set, in which case the original code will directly jump to no_cached_page reading.

The readahead call scheme is error-prone in that it expects the call sites to check for async readahead after doing a sync one. I.e. if (!page) page_cache_sync_readahead(); page = find_get_page(); if (page && PageReadahead(page)) page_cache_async_readahead(); This is because PG_readahead could be set by a sync readahead for the _current_ newly faulted in page, and the readahead code simply expects one more callback on the same page to start the async readahead. If the caller fails to do so, it will miss the PG_readahead bits and never able to start an async readahead. Eliminate this insane constraint by piggy-backing the async part into the current readahead window. Now if an async readahead should be started immediately after a sync one, the readahead logic itself will do it. So the following code becomes valid: (the 'else' in particular) if (!page) page_cache_sync_readahead(); else if (PageReadahead(page)) page_cache_async_readahead(); Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

This makes the performance impact of possible mmap_miss wrap around to be temporary and tolerable: i.e. MMAP_LOTSAMISS=100 extra readarounds. Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX cache misses to bring it back to normal state. During the time mmap readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload. That's almost permanent performance impact. Signed-off-by:

PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency. Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be 1193181.818181... Signed-off-by:

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with all older kernel versions.

Several of the regulator drivers didn't have MODULE_ALIAS so couldn't be auto loaded. Add the MODULE_ALIAS in case they do get built as modules. Signed-off-by:

Regulators need to be available early in init in order to allow them to be available for consumers when requested. This is generally done by registering them at subsys_initcall() time but not all regulator drivers have done that. Convert these drivers to do so in order to mimimise future support. Signed-off-by:
