17 years agocpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusets
Paul Jackson [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:27:43 +0000 (01:27 -0700)]
cpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusets

Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting
of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag.

The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the
parent.

This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a
partitioning of a system.

It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched
domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on
one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that
cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other
cpu_exclusive cpusets.

Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the
result.

Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go.

Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no
successful use has been made of this.  One real time group did use it to
affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts.  They are willing
to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate
the list of isolated CPUs on a running system.  They can do without this
present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative.

There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users
accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired
load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the
cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag.

Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was
doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code.
Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they
will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's
behaviour.

Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment.  My
(probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a
rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for
defining sched domains is borked.  There is no concensus on the
replacement.  But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its
continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers
load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the
replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

cold.

I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
symbols.  I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
address.

The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
moved this to as-layout.h.  CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone.  In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
STUB_START in as-layout.h.

i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
consistently.  However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
so well.  So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S.  I
also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.

With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.

defconfig has the old symbols deleted.

I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
the host.

Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and

The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be

The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather

this is userspace code which can't pull in kernel headers and there doesn't

setjmp and longjmp.  They came from libc, and couldn't be called directly from

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.

This patch:

Start getting rid of tt mode support.

This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.

CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.

something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't

After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost

opportunistically get some data out to the host.

I also made write_chan short-circuit calling into the host-level code for
zero-length writes.  Calling libc write with a length of zero conflated write
not being able to write anything with asking it not to write anything.  Better

17 years agohugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes

Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have
no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2).  Lee worked
on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted.  Christoph has
created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail
if the node has no memory.

Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to
allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom
interleave variable.  The callers of this function, though, assume that a
failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated
on the system period.  This might not be the case, for instance, if we have
an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a
node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory
on the other nodes.

To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online
nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated.  Add a helper function
for actually allocating the hugepage.  Use a new global nid iterator to
control which nid to allocate on.

Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now
enforced even for memoryless nodes.  That is, there is should be no
fallback to other nodes.  Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into
alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from.  If this is
incorrect, accounting will break.

Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2
memoryless nodes).

hugetlb: fix pool resizing corner case

When shrinking the size of the hugetlb pool via the nr_hugepages sysctl, we
are careful to keep enough pages around to satisfy reservations.  But the
calculation is flawed for the following scenario:

Action                          Pool Counters (Total, Free, Resv)
======                          =============
Set pool to 1 page              1 1 0
Map 1 page MAP_PRIVATE          1 1 0
Touch the page to fault it in   1 0 0
Set pool to 3 pages             3 2 0
Map 2 pages MAP_SHARED          3 2 2
Set pool to 2 pages             2 1 2 <-- Mistake, should be 3 2 2
Touch the 2 shared pages        2 0 1 <-- Program crashes here

The last touch above will terminate the process due to lack of huge pages.

This patch corrects the calculation so that it factors in pages being used
for private mappings.  Andrew, this is a standalone fix suitable for
mainline.  It is also now corrected in my latest dynamic pool resizing
patchset which I will send out soon.
