In my case this resulted in a machine hang:

gpio-keys requested IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, but
arm/ns9xxx can only trigger on one direction so set_type didn't touch
the configuration which happens do default to a level sensitiveness and
returned -EINVAL.  setup_irq ignored that and unmasked the irq.  This
resulted in an endless triggering of the gpio-key interrupt service
routine which effectively killed the machine.

With this patch applied setup_irq propagates the error to the caller.

mm: fix ever-decreasing swap priority

Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a
swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps
positive.  Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed.

It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's
not much point if a pair or more still misbehave.  To handle the general
case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from
-1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES.  That's a change, but should cause no regression,
since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the
positive specified priorities 0 to 32767.

One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff
fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now
reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority.

In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is
visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set
before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type

never be considered removable.  Without this patch, the user-agent is

PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

bootmem: revisit alloc_bootmem_section

NULL if the allocation fails, we might now use it in alloc_bootmem_section
without all the fixup code for a misplaced allocation.

Also, the limit can be the first PFN of the next section as the semantics

hugetlb: fix a hugepage reservation check for MAP_SHARED

to see if the mapping requires additional pages to be reserved, and if it does

fails without even attempting to get a page.  In order to determine whether to
apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma

reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the
final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping.

In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the
process is not the original mapper.  Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with
vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and

These 1G bootmem pages are never freed.  In theory it would be possible to
implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way
street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to
currently.

The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture.  It is not very
big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it.

Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory
allocated for gb pages in "Total".  This is a little confusing for the
user.

is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).

The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.

This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.

hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK) (Same

2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node
   (OK).

3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only.

4) each loaded module is using memory on one node.

Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary.

from the original.  This new VMA is a direct copy of the original
including the reservation count.  When this pair of VMAs are unmapped we
will incorrect double account the unused reservation and the overall
reservation count will be incorrect, in extreme cases it will wrap.

The problem occurs when we split an existing VMA say to unmap a page in
the middle.  split_vma() will create a new VMA copying all fields from the
original.  As we are storing our reservation count in vm_private_data this
is also copies, endowing the new VMA with a duplicate of the original
VMA's reservation.  Neither of the new VMAs can exhaust these reservations
as they are too small, but when we unmap and close these VMAs we will
incorrect credit the remainder twice and resv_huge_pages will become out
of sync.  This can lead to allocation failures on mappings with
reservations and even to resv_huge_pages wrapping which prevents all
subsequent hugepage allocations.

The simple fix would be to correctly apportion the remaining reservation
count when the split is made.  However the only hook we have vm_ops->open
only has the new VMA we do not know the identity of the preceeding VMA.
Also even if we did have that VMA to hand we do not know how much of the
reservation was consumed each side of the split.

This patch therefore takes a different tack.  We know that the whole of
any private mapping (which has a reservation) has a reservation over its
whole size.  Any present pages represent consumed reservation.  Therefore
if we track the instantiated pages we can calculate the remaining
reservation.

This patch reuses the existing regions code to track the regions for which
we have consumed reservation (ie.  the instantiated pages), as each page
is faulted in we record the consumption of reservation for the new page.
When we need to return unused reservations at unmap time we simply count
the consumed reservation region subtracting that from the whole of the
map.  During a VMA split the newly opened VMA will point to the same
region map, as this map is offset oriented it remains valid for both of
the split VMAs.  This map is referenced counted so that it is removed when
all VMAs which are part of the mmap are gone.

Thanks to Adam Litke and Mel Gorman for their review feedback.

16 years agohugetlb: allow huge page mappings to be created without reservations
Andy Whitcroft [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:27:30 +0000 (21:27 -0700)]
hugetlb: allow huge page mappings to be created without reservations

By default all shared mappings and most private mappings now have
reservations associated with them.  This improves semantics by providing
allocation guarentees to the mapper.  However a small number of
applications may attempt to make very large sparse mappings, with these
strict reservations the system will never be able to honour the mapping.

This patch set brings MAP_NORESERVE support to hugetlb files.  This allows
new mappings to be made to hugetlbfs files without an associated
reservation, for both shared and private mappings.  This allows
applications which want to create very sparse mappings to opt-out of the
reservation system.  Obviously as there is no reservation they are liable
to fault at runtime if the huge page pool becomes exhausted; buyer beware.

16 years agomm: record MAP_NORESERVE status on vmas and fix small page mprotect reservations
Andy Whitcroft [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:27:28 +0000 (21:27 -0700)]
mm: record MAP_NORESERVE status on vmas and fix small page mprotect reservations

With Mel's hugetlb private reservation support patches applied, strict
overcommit semantics are applied to both shared and private huge page
mappings.  This can be a problem if an application relied on unlimited
overcommit semantics for private mappings.  An example of this would be an
application which maps a huge area with the intention of using it very
sparsely.  These application would benefit from being able to opt-out of
the strict overcommit.  It should be noted that prior to hugetlb
supporting demand faulting all mappings were fully populated and so
applications of this type should be rare.

This patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page
mappings.  This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings,
suppressing reservations for that mapping.

Thanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these
patches.

This patch:

When a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created
by default for any memory pages required.  When the region is read/write
the reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for
read-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page).  Reservations
are tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region
has reservation backing it.  When we convert a region from read-only to
read-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set.  However,
when a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable
from a normal mapping.  When we then convert that to read/write we are
forced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of
the original MAP_NORESERVE.

This patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the
presence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag.  This allows us to
distinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve.

As well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to
introduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available
consistantly for the life of the mapping.  VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is
heavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.
