2011-03-24fs: move i_wb_list out from under inode_lockDave Chinner
Protect the inode writeback list with a new global lock inode_wb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

2011-03-24fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lockDave Chinner
Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling away the inode_lock from the code. This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the reference. Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW. Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky, remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where necessary.

2011-03-24lib, arch: add filter argument to show_mem and fix private implementationsDavid Rientjes
Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own versions of show_mem(): lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem': show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem' arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in all implementations to prevent this breakage. Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the generic implementation.

2011-03-24SLUB: Write to per cpu data when allocating itChristoph Lameter
It turns out that the cmpxchg16b emulation has to access vmalloced percpu memory with interrupts disabled. If the memory has never been touched before then the fault necessary to establish the mapping will not to occur and the kernel will fail on boot. Fix that by reusing the CONFIG_PREEMPT code that writes the cpu number into a field on every cpu. Writing to the per cpu area before causes the mapping to be established before we get to a cmpxchg16b emulation.

setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().

2011-03-23memcg: give current access to memory reserves if it's trying to dieDavid Rientjes
When a memcg is oom and current has already received a SIGKILL, then give it access to memory reserves with a higher scheduling priority so that it may quickly exit and free its memory. This is identical to the global oom killer and is done even before checking for panic_on_oom: a pending SIGKILL here while panic_on_oom is selected is guaranteed to have come from userspace; the thread only needs access to memory reserves to exit and thus we don't unnecessarily panic the machine until the kernel has no last resort to free memory.

2011-03-23memcg: fix leak on wrong LRU with FUSEKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
fs/fuse/dev.c::fuse_try_move_page() does (1) remove a page by ->steal() (2) re-add the page to page cache (3) link the page to LRU if it was not on LRU at (1) This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree. So, the page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU. because LRU is lazy and no one flushs it. This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as - remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. - add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. And we need to taking care of pagevec. If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be added to memcg's LRU (in short period). So, regardlress of PageLRU(page) value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after commit_charge().

2011-03-23page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for page_cgroup array for ↵Michal Hocko
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM Currently we are allocating a single page_cgroup array per memory section (stored in mem_section->base) when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is selected. This is correct but memory inefficient solution because the allocated memory (unless we fall back to vmalloc) is not kmalloc friendly: - 32b - 16384 entries (20B per entry) fit into 327680B so the 524288B slab cache is used - 32b with PAE - 131072 entries with 2621440B fit into 4194304B - 64b - 32768 entries (40B per entry) fit into 2097152 cache This is ~37% wasted space per memory section and it sumps up for the whole memory. On a x86_64 machine it is something like 6MB per 1GB of RAM. We can reduce the internal fragmentation by using alloc_pages_exact which allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned blocks so we will get down to <4kB wasted memory per section which is much better. We still need a fallback to vmalloc because we have no guarantees that we will have a continuous memory of that size (order-10) later on during the hotplug events.

2011-03-23memcg: break out event counters from other statsJohannes Weiner
For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event counters. All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count events even with the sign bit wasted. This patch: - divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned monotonically increasing event counters. - converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than 'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters. The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs, that is).

The per-cgroup LRU lists string up 'struct page_cgroup's. To get from those structures to the page they represent, a lookup is required. Currently, the lookup is done through a direct pointer in struct page_cgroup, so a lot of functions down the callchain do this lookup by themselves instead of receiving the page pointer from their callers. The next patch removes this pointer, however, and the lookup is no longer that straight-forward. In preparation for that, this patch only leaves the non-optional lookups when coming directly from the LRU list and passes the page down the stack.

2011-03-23memcg: no uncharged pages reach page_cgroup_zoneinfoJohannes Weiner
This patch series removes the direct page pointer from struct page_cgroup, which saves 20% of per-page memcg memory overhead (Fedora and Ubuntu enable memcg per default, openSUSE apparently too). The node id or section number is encoded in the remaining free bits of pc->flags which allows calculating the corresponding page without the extra pointer. I ran, what I think is, a worst-case microbenchmark that just cats a large sparse file to /dev/null, because it means that walking the LRU list on behalf of per-cgroup reclaim and looking up pages from page_cgroups is happening constantly and at a high rate. But it made no measurable difference. A profile reported a 0.11% share of the new lookup_cgroup_page() function in this benchmark. This patch: All callsites check PCG_USED before passing pc->mem_cgroup, so the latter is never NULL.

2011-03-23memcg: simplify the way memory limits are checkedJohannes Weiner
Since transparent huge pages, checking whether memory cgroups are below their limits is no longer enough, but the actual amount of chargeable space is important. To not have more than one limit-checking interface, replace memory_cgroup_check_under_limit() and memory_cgroup_check_margin() with a single memory_cgroup_margin() that returns the chargeable space and leaves the comparison to the callsite. Soft limits are now checked the other way round, by using the already existing function that returns the amount by which soft limits are exceeded: res_counter_soft_limit_excess(). Also remove all the corresponding functions on the res_counter side that are now no longer used.

Remove initialization of vaiable in caller of memory cgroup function. Actually, it's return value of memcg function but it's initialized in caller. Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result of start function to the end function for avoiding races. mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr)) /* Something very complicated can happen here. */ mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr) In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller. But it's ugly. This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start function.

2011-03-23sys_swapon: fix inode lockingCesar Eduardo Barros
A conflict between 52c50567d8ab ("mm: swap: unlock swapfile inode mutex before closing file on bad swapfiles") and 83ef99befc32 ("sys_swapon: remove did_down variable") caused a double unlock of the inode mutex (once in bad_swap: before the filp_close, once at the end just before returning). The patch which added the extra unlock cleared did_down to avoid unlocking twice, but the other patch removed the did_down variable. To fix, set inode to NULL after the first unlock, since it will be used after that point only for the final unlock. While checking this patch, I found a path which could unlock without locking, in case the same inode was added as a swapfile twice. To fix, move the setting of the inode variable further down, to just before claim_swapfile, which will lock the inode before doing anything else.

In 2.6.23 we disabled it by default, but set VM_CAN_NONLINEAR to enable it on safe mappings.

2011-03-22mm/memblock: properly handle overlaps and fix error pathBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Currently memblock_reserve() or memblock_free() don't handle overlaps of any kind. There is some special casing for coalescing exactly adjacent regions but that's about it. This is annoying because typically memblock_reserve() is used to mark regions passed by the firmware as reserved and we all know how much we can trust our firmwares... Also, with the current code, if we do something it doesn't handle right such as trying to memblock_reserve() a large range spanning multiple existing smaller reserved regions for example, or doing overlapping reservations, it can silently corrupt the internal region array, causing odd errors much later on, such as allocations returning reserved regions etc... This patch rewrites the underlying functions that add or remove a region to the arrays. The new code is a lot more robust as it fully handles overlapping regions. It's also, imho, simpler than the previous implementation. In addition, while doing so, I found a bug where if we fail to double the array while adding a region, we would remove the last region of the array rather than the region we just allocated. This fixes it too.

2011-03-22writeback: make mapping->writeback_index to point to the last written pageJun'ichi Nomura
For range-cyclic writeback (e.g. kupdate), the writeback code sets a continuation point of the next writeback to mapping->writeback_index which is set the page after the last written page. This happens so that we evenly write the whole file even if pages in it get continuously redirtied. However, in some cases, sequential writer is writing in the middle of the page and it just redirties the last written page by continuing from that. For example with an application which uses a file as a big ring buffer we see: [1st writeback session] ... flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898514 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898522 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898530 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898538 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898546 + 8 kworker/0:1-11 4571: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94898514 + 40 >> flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898554 + 8 >> flush-8:0-2743 4571: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94898554 + 8 [2nd writeback session after 35sec] flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898562 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898570 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898578 + 8 ... kworker/0:1-11 4606: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94898562 + 640 kworker/0:1-11 4606: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94899202 + 72 ... flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94899962 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94899970 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94899978 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94899986 + 8 flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94899994 + 8 kworker/0:1-11 4606: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94899962 + 40 >> flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_bio_queue: 8,0 W 94898554 + 8 >> flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94898554 + 8 So we seeked back to 94898554 after we wrote all the pages at the end of the file. This extra seek seems unnecessary. If we continue writeback from the last written page, we can avoid it and do not cause harm to other cases. The original intent of even writeout over the whole file is preserved and if the page does not get redirtied pagevec_lookup_tag() just skips it. As an exceptional case, when I/O error happens, set done_index to the next page as the comment in the code suggests.
