2012-09-28CPU hotplug, writeback: Don't call writeback_set_ratelimit() too often ↵Srivatsa S. Bhat
during hotplug The CPU hotplug callback related to writeback calls writeback_set_ratelimit() during every state change in the hotplug sequence. This is unnecessary since num_online_cpus() changes only once during the entire hotplug operation. So invoke the function only once per hotplug, thereby avoiding the unnecessary repetition of those costly calculations. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-09-21frontswap: support exclusive gets if tmem backend is capableDan Magenheimer
Tmem, as originally specified, assumes that "get" operations performed on persistent pools never flush the page of data out of tmem on a successful get, waiting instead for a flush operation. This is intended to mimic the model of a swap disk, where a disk read is non-destructive. Unlike a disk, however, freeing up the RAM can be valuable. Over the years that frontswap was in the review process, several reviewers (and notably Hugh Dickins in 2010) pointed out that this would result, at least temporarily, in two copies of the data in RAM: one (compressed for zcache) copy in tmem, and one copy in the swap cache. We wondered if this could be done differently, at least optionally. This patch allows tmem backends to instruct the frontswap code that this backend performs exclusive gets. Zcache2 already contains hooks to support this feature. Other backends are completely unaffected unless/until they are updated to support this feature. While it is not clear that exclusive gets are a performance win on all workloads at all times, this small patch allows for experimentation by backends. P.S. Let's not quibble about the naming of "get" vs "read" vs "load" etc. The naming is currently horribly inconsistent between cleancache and frontswap and existing tmem backends, so will need to be straightened out as a separate patch. "Get" is used by the tmem architecture spec, existing backends, and all documentation and presentation material so I am using it in this patch.

The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit 43506fad21ca ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index of adjacent buddy lists"). But the page address of higher page's buddy was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever. IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address of higher page's buddy.

2012-09-17slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()Joonsoo Kim
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no node-partial slab. In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page. Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation, slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it and re-deactivate. "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly. As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation. deactivation frequently. This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.

2012-09-17slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slabMel Gorman
Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we clear SlabPfmemalloc flag. This is fine for most swap-over-network use cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use. Unfortunately it is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy. This patch ensures that the head page is always used.

2012-09-14cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups ↵Tejun Heo
are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal.

2012-09-11slab: fix the DEADLOCK issue on l3 alien lockMichael Wang
DEADLOCK will be report while running a kernel with NUMA and LOCKDEP enabled, the process of this fake report is: kmem_cache_free() //free obj in cachep -> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep's l3 alien lock -> __drain_alien_cache() -> free_block() -> slab_destroy() -> kmem_cache_free() //free slab in cachep->slabp_cache -> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien lock Since the cachep and cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien are in the same lock class, fake report generated. This should not happen since we already have init_lock_keys() which will reassign the lock class for both l3 list and l3 alien. However, init_lock_keys() was invoked at a wrong position which is before we invoke enable_cpucache() on each cache. Since until set slab_state to be FULL, we won't invoke enable_cpucache() on caches to build their l3 alien while creating them, so although we invoked init_lock_keys(), the l3 alien lock class won't change since we don't have them until invoked enable_cpucache() later. This patch will invoke init_lock_keys() after we done enable_cpucache() instead of before to avoid the fake DEADLOCK report. Michael traced the problem back to a commit in release 3.0.0: commit 30765b92ada267c5395fc788623cb15233276f5c Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Date: Thu Jul 28 23:22:56 2011 +0200 slab, lockdep: Annotate the locks before using them Fernando found we hit the regular OFF_SLAB 'recursion' before we annotate the locks, cure this.

Earlier patches in the common set moved the zeroing of the kmem_cache structure into common code. See "Move allocation of kmem_cache into common code". The allocation for the two special structures is still done from SLUB specific code but no zeroing is done since the cache creation functions used to zero. This now needs to be updated so that the structures are zeroed during allocation in kmem_cache_init(). Otherwise random pointer values may be followed.

2012-09-05mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.cChristoph Lameter
Duping of the slabname has to be done by each slab. Moving this code to slab_common avoids duplicate implementations. With this patch we have common string handling for all slab allocators. Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems can create temporary strings to create slab caches. Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and those can never be freed since they are essential to slab allocator operations). During bootstrap we therefore do not have to worry about duping names.

What is done there can be done in __kmem_cache_shutdown. This affects RCU handling somewhat. On rcu free all slab allocators do not refer to other management structures than the kmem_cache structure. Therefore these other structures can be freed before the rcu deferred free to the page allocator occurs.

2012-09-05mm/slab_common: Improve error handling in kmem_cache_createChristoph Lameter
Instead of using s == NULL use an errorcode. This allows much more detailed diagnostics as to what went wrong. As we add more functionality from the slab allocators to the common kmem_cache_create() function we will also add more error conditions. Print the error code during the panic as well as in a warning if the module can handle failure. The API for kmem_cache_create() currently does not allow the returning of an error code. Return NULL but log the cause of the problem in the syslog.
