to reserve an array of about 30 of them in bss, when most people will want only one. Change swap_info[] to an array of pointers. That does need a "type" field in the structure: pack it as a char with next type and short prio (aha, char is unsigned by default on PowerPC). Use the (admittedly peculiar) name "type" throughout for this index. /proc/swaps does not take swap_lock: I wouldn't want it to, but do take care with barriers when adding a new item to the array (never removed).

backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom killer. This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current when allocations are constrained by mempolicies. So for all present use cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct reclaim fails. That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but current would have sacrificed itself upon returning. This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations. All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages. The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8). All current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at this time. Signed-off-by:

I don't know that this is absolutely required, but the registration can sleep in allocations and other mem hot plug handlers do it this way.

suggested by David Rientjes. With Memory Hotplug, memory can be added to a memoryless node and a node with memory can become memoryless. Therefore, add a memory on/off-line notifier callback to [un]register a node's attributes on transition to/from memoryless state. N.B., Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression. i.e., no memory hotplug testing. Signed-off-by:

sysdevs: /sys/devices/system/node/node<ID>/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/ nr_hugepages - r/w free_huge_pages - r/o surplus_huge_pages - r/o The patch attempts to re-use/share as much of the existing global hstate attribute initialization and handling, and the "nodes_allowed" constraint processing as possible. Calling set_max_huge_pages() with no node indicates a change to global hstate parameters. In this case, any non-default task mempolicy will be used to generate the nodes_allowed mask. A valid node id indicates an update to that node's hstate parameters, and the count argument specifies the target count for the specified node. From this info, we compute the target global count for the hstate and construct a nodes_allowed node mask contain only the specified node. Setting the node specific nr_hugepages via the per node attribute effectively ignores any task mempolicy or cpuset constraints.

the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute "nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

controlling task's numa mempolicy, add a "nodes_allowed" nodemask pointer to the allocate, free and surplus adjustment functions. For now, pass NULL to indicate default behavior--i.e., use node_online_map. A subsqeuent patch will derive a non-default mask from the controlling task's numa mempolicy. Note that this method of updating the global hstate nr_hugepages under the constraint of a nodemask simplifies keeping the global state consistent--especially the number of persistent and surplus pages relative to reservations and overcommit limits. There are undoubtedly other ways to do this, but this works for both interfaces: mempolicy and per node attributes. Signed-off-by:

obtain the "start_nid". Then, whereas prior to this patch we unconditionally called hstate_next_node_to_{alloc|free}(), whether or not we successfully allocated/freed a huge page on the node, now we only call these functions on failure to alloc/free to advance to next allowed node. Factor out the next_node_allowed() function to handle wrap at end of node_online_map. In this version, the allowed nodes include all of the online nodes. Signed-off-by: -

allocation and freeing of persistent huge pages on a NUMA platform. Please consider for merging into mmotm. This series uses two mechanisms to constrain the nodes from which persistent huge pages are allocated: 1) the task NUMA mempolicy of the task modifying a new sysctl "nr_hugepages_mempolicy", based on a suggestion by Mel Gorman; and 2) a subset of the hugepages hstate sysfs attributes have been added [in V4] to each node system device under: /sys/devices/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages The per node attibutes allow direct assignment of a huge page count on a specific node, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints. This patch: NODEMASK_ALLOC(x, m) assumes x is a type of struct, which is unnecessary. It's perfectly reasonable to use this macro to allocate a nodemask_t, which is anonymous, either dynamically or on the stack depending on NODES_SHIFT. Signed-off-by:

is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment. The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <= T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be implicitly unplugged: if (PageReadahead(page)) page_cache_async_readahead() if (!PageUptodate(page)) goto page_not_up_to_date; //... page_not_up_to_date: lock_page_killable(page); Therefore explicit unplugging can help.

This information is omitted, however, when the oom killer panics either because of panic_on_oom sysctl settings or when no killable task was found. It is still relevant to know crucial pieces of information such as the allocation order and VM state when diagnosing such issues, especially at boot. This patch displays the oom killer header whenever it panics so that bug reports can include pertinent information to debug the issue, if possible. Signed-off-by:
