The VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the LRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates). But we don't actually have a clear way of showing how true this is. So add `nr_vmscan_write' to /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo - the number of pages which have been written by the vm scanner in this zone and globally.

Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node (pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was registered by the architecture. However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add. This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to at *least* the requested boundary.

absent_pages_in_range() made the assumption that users of the API would not care about holes beyound the end of physical memory. This was not the case. This patch will account for ranges outside of physical memory as holes correctly.

The x86_64 code accounted for memmap and some portions of the the DMA zone as holes. This was because those areas would never be reclaimed and accounting for them as memory affects min watermarks. This patch will account for the memmap as a memory hole. Architectures may optionally use set_dma_reserve() if they wish to account for a portion of memory in ZONE_DMA as a hole. Signed-off-by:

At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on. Additional credit; Dave Hansen for the initial suggestion and comments on early patches Andy Whitcroft for reviewing early versions and catching numerous errors Tony Luck for testing and debugging on IA64 Bob Picco for fixing bugs related to pfn registration, reviewing a number of patch revisions, providing a number of suggestions on future direction and testing heavily Jack Steiner and Robin Holt for testing on IA64 and clarifying issues related to memory holes Yasunori for testing on IA64 Andi Kleen for reviewing and feeding back about x86_64 Christian Kujau for providing valuable information related to ACPI problems on x86_64 and testing potential fixes This patch: Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node in an architecture independent manner. Architectures are expected to register active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone. Signed-off-by:

Some of the changes in balloc.c are just cosmetic, as Andreas pointed out - if they overflow they'll then underflow and things are fine. 5th hunk actually fixes an overflow problem. Also check for potential overflows in inode & block counts when resizing. Signed-off-by:

SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following patch: 2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue (EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible. However at present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem to read-only. Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ from that of 2.4.x kernels. This patch fixes this: - do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE, - set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases - panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS Signed-off-by:

In the past there were a few kernel panics related to block reservation tree operations failure (insert/remove etc). It would be very useful to get the block allocation reservation map info when such error happens. Signed-off-by:

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common. Still, should fix. (some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well). I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it at this point.

This is primarily format string fixes, with changes to ialloc.c where large inode counts could overflow, and also pass around journal_inum as an unsigned long, just to be pedantic about it.... Signed-off-by:

I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for a 16T ext3 filesystem. (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that off the kernel list) This patch fixes these issues in the kernel: o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super() sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) - le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) / EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb); at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0. Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount. Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this way should work & avoid the overflow: (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1 o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure that various bits are within the right block ranges... on the last pass through, it is checking the error case [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) where "block" is the first block in the last block group. The last block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1. block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps back around to 0. so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=. Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1; (a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind use ext2 at 16T? I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's warranted) Signed-off-by:

This function although doing simple thing is hard to follow. It's mainly due to: - a lot of #ifdef - bad local names - redundant tests So this patch try to address these issues. It also do not use max_pfn global which is marked as an unused exported symbol. As a bonus side, it's now really easy to see what part of the code is for no-numa system. There's also no point to make this function inline. Signed-off-by: -

This array was used to 'cache' some frame info about scheduler functions to speed up get_wchan(). This array was 1Ko size and was only used when CONFIG_KALLSYMS was set but declared for all configs. Rather than make the array statement conditional, this patches removes this array and its uses. Indeed the common case doesn't seem to use this array and get_wchan() is not a critical path anyways. It results in a smaller bss and a smaller/cleaner code: text data bss dec hex filename 2543808 254148 139296 2937252 2cd1a4 vmlinux-new-get-wchan 2544080 254148 143392 2941620 2ce2b4 vmlinux~old Signed-off-by:

This patch adds 2 sanity checks. The first one test that the start address of the function to analyze has been set by the caller. If not return an error since nothing usefull can be done without. The second one checks that the function's size has been set. A null size can happen if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set and it means that we don't know the size of the function to analyze. In this case, we make it equal to 128 instructions by default. Signed-off-by:
