Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate the touching of the actual memory being allocated. Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator (arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required. Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed.

Rework the swsusp's memory shrinker in the following way: - Simplify balance_pgdat() by removing all of the swsusp-related code from it. - Make shrink_all_memory() use shrink_slab() and a new function shrink_all_zones() which calls shrink_active_list() and shrink_inactive_list() directly for each zone in a way that's optimized for suspend. In shrink_all_memory() we try to free exactly as many pages as the caller asks for, preferably in one shot, starting from easier targets. If slab caches are huge, they are most likely to have enough pages to reclaim. The inactive lists are next (the zones with more inactive pages go first) etc. Each time shrink_all_memory() attempts to shrink the active and inactive lists for each zone in 5 passes. In the first pass, only the inactive lists are taken into consideration. In the next two passes the active lists are also shrunk, but mapped pages are not reclaimed. In the last two passes the active and inactive lists are shrunk and mapped pages are reclaimed as well. The aim of this is to alter the reclaim logic to choose the best pages to keep on resume and improve the responsiveness of the resumed system. Signed-off-by:

The last ifdef addition hit the ugliness treshold on this functions, so: - rename the variable i to nr_pages so it's somewhat descriptive - remove the addr variable and do the page_address call at the very end - instead of ifdef'ing the whole alloc_pages_node call just make the __GFP_COMP addition to flags conditional - rewrite the __GFP_COMP comment to make sense Signed-off-by:

Chen, Kenneth W authored
Current hugetlb strict accounting for shared mapping always assume mapping starts at zero file offset and reserves pages between zero and size of the file. This assumption often reserves (or lock down) a lot more pages then necessary if application maps at none zero file offset. libhugetlbfs is one example that requires proper reservation on shared mapping starts at none zero offset. This patch extends the reservation and hugetlb strict accounting to support any arbitrary pair of (offset, len), resulting a much more robust and accurate scheme. More importantly, it won't lock down any hugetlb pages outside file mapping. Signed-off-by:

Reserve space in the swap disk header for a LABEL and UUID to be specified. This has been possible with util-linux-2.12b (via e2fsprogs 1.36 libblkid), and is used by at least FC3 and later. The kernel doesn't really care about this, but the space shouldn't accidentally be used by something else either. Also make the on-disk structures be fixed-size types, instead of "int", though I don't know of any architecture in use where an "int" isn't the same size as a "__u32" (all current kernel arches have it as "unsigned int").

This patch adds panic_on_oom sysctl under sys.vm. When sysctl vm.panic_on_oom = 1, the kernel panics intead of killing rogue processes. And if vm.panic_on_oom is 0 the kernel will do oom_kill() in the same way as it does today. Of course, the default value is 0 and only root can modifies it. In general, oom_killer works well and kill rogue processes. So the whole system can survive. But there are environments where panic is preferable rather than kill some processes. Signed-off-by:

We have architectures where the size of page_to_pfn and pfn_to_page are significant enough to overall image size that they wish to push them out of line. However, in the process we have grown a second copy of the implementation of each of these routines for each memory model. Share the implmentation exposing it either inline or out-of-line as required. Signed-off-by:

In current code, zonelist is considered to be build once, no modification. But MemoryHotplug can add new zone/pgdat. It must be updated. This patch modifies build_all_zonelists(). By this, build_all_zonelist() can reconfig pgdat's zonelists. To update them safety, this patch use stop_machine_run(). Other cpus don't touch among updating them by using it. In old version (V2 of node hotadd), kernel updated them after zone initialization. But present_page of its new zone is still 0, because online_page() is not called yet at this time. Build_zonelists() checks present_pages to find present zone. It was too early. So, I changed it after online_pages(). Signed-off-by:

Wait_table is initialized according to zone size at boot time. But, we cannot know the maixmum zone size when memory hotplug is enabled. It can be changed.... And resizing of wait_table is hard. So kernel allocate and initialzie wait_table as its maximum size. Signed-off-by:

[PATCH] wait_table and zonelist initializing for memory hotadd: add return code for init_current_empty_zone When add_zone() is called against empty zone (not populated zone), we have to initialize the zone which didn't initialize at boot time. But, init_currently_empty_zone() may fail due to allocation of wait table. So, this patch is to catch its error code. Changes against wait_table is in the next patch. Signed-off-by:

It is better to redo the complete fault if do_swap_page() finds that the page is not in PageSwapCache() because the page migration code may have replaced the swap pte already with a pte pointing to valid memory. do_swap_page() may interpret an invalid swap entry without this patch because we do not reload the pte if we are looping back. The page migration code may already have reused the swap entry referenced by our local swp_entry. Signed-off-by:

The buddy allocator has a requirement that boundaries between contigious zones occur aligned with the the MAX_ORDER ranges. Where they do not we will incorrectly merge pages cross zone boundaries. This can lead to pages from the wrong zone being handed out. Originally the buddy allocator would check that buddies were in the same zone by referencing the zone start and end page frame numbers. This was removed as it became very expensive and the buddy allocator already made the assumption that zones boundaries were aligned. It is clear that not all configurations and architectures are honouring this alignment requirement. Therefore it seems safest to reintroduce support for non-aligned zone boundaries. This patch introduces a new check when considering a page a buddy it compares the zone_table index for the two pages and refuses to merge the pages where they do not match. The zone_table index is unique for each node/zone combination when FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM is enabled and for each section/zone combination when SPARSEMEM is enabled (a SPARSEMEM section is at least a MAX_ORDER size).

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu. in xfs. Signed-off-by:

David Howells authored
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems. Signed-off-by:

David Howells authored
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Yeah, it's a hack, but it is only temporary until Alan's patches reworking this area make it in. We really should not care what devices below us are doing, especially when we do not really know what type of devices they are. This patch relies on the fact that the endpoint devices do not have a driver assigned to us. Signed-off-by: -
