* mm: distinguish between mlocked and pinned pagesChristoph Lameter2011-11-016-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked". The difference between mlocking and pinning is: A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from swapping. Page migration may move them around though. They are kept on a special LRU list. B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to directly access physical memory. They may not be on any LRU list. I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some memory was accounted for twice: Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA memory. This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and accounts them seperately.

* mm: vmscan: drop nr_force_scan[] from get_scan_countJohannes Weiner2011-11-011-24/+12Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nr_force_scan[] tuple holds the effective scan numbers for anon and file pages in case the situation called for a forced scan and the regularly calculated scan numbers turned out zero. However, the effective scan number can always be assumed to be SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX right before the division into anon and file. The numerators and denominator are properly set up for all cases, be it force scan for just file, just anon, or both, to do the right thing.

* oom: fix race while temporarily setting current's oom_score_adjDavid Rientjes2011-11-014-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | test_set_oom_score_adj() was introduced in 72788c385604 ("oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj") to temporarily elevate current's oom_score_adj for ksm and swapoff without requiring an additional per-process flag. Using that function to both set oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX and then reinstate the previous value is racy since it's possible that userspace can set the value to something else itself before the old value is reinstated. That results in userspace setting current's oom_score_adj to a different value and then the kernel immediately setting it back to its previous value without notification. To fix this, a new compare_swap_oom_score_adj() function is introduced with the same semantics as the compare and swap CAS instruction, or CMPXCHG on x86. It is used to reinstate the previous value of oom_score_adj if and only if the present value is the same as the old value.

* oom: remove oom_disable_countDavid Rientjes2011-11-016-49/+6Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes mm->oom_disable_count entirely since it's unnecessary and currently buggy. The counter was intended to be per-process but it's currently decremented in the exit path for each thread that exits, causing it to underflow. The count was originally intended to prevent oom killing threads that share memory with threads that cannot be killed since it doesn't lead to future memory freeing. The counter could be fixed to represent all threads sharing the same mm, but it's better to remove the count since: - it is possible that the OOM_DISABLE thread sharing memory with the victim is waiting on that thread to exit and will actually cause future memory freeing, and - there is no guarantee that a thread is disabled from oom killing just because another thread sharing its mm is oom disabled.

* oom: avoid killing kthreads if they assume the oom killed thread's mmDavid Rientjes2011-11-011-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After selecting a task to kill, the oom killer iterates all processes and kills all other threads that share the same mm_struct in different thread groups. It would not otherwise be helpful to kill a thread if its memory would not be subsequently freed. A kernel thread, however, may assume a user thread's mm by using use_mm(). This is only temporary and should not result in sending a SIGKILL to that kthread. This patch ensures that only user threads and not kthreads are sent a SIGKILL if they share the same mm_struct as the oom killed task.

* vmscan: add block plug for page reclaimShaohua Li2011-11-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per-task block plug can reduce block queue lock contention and increase request merge. Currently page reclaim doesn't support it. I originally thought page reclaim doesn't need it, because kswapd thread count is limited and file cache write is done at flusher mostly. When I test a workload with heavy swap in a 4-node machine, each CPU is doing direct page reclaim and swap. This causes block queue lock contention. In my test, without below patch, the CPU utilization is about 2% ~ 7%. With the patch, the CPU utilization is about 1% ~ 3%. Disk throughput isn't changed. This should improve normal kswapd write and file cache write too (increase request merge for example), but might not be so obvious as I explain above.

* mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-awareMinchan Kim2011-11-013-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In async mode, compaction doesn't migrate dirty or writeback pages. So, it's meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to lru list. Of course, when we isolate the page in compaction, the page might be dirty or writeback but when we try to migrate the page, the page would be not dirty, writeback. So it could be migrated.

* Cross Memory AttachChristopher Yeoh2011-11-0117-17/+550
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a double copy of the message via shared memory. The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory directly from the source process into its own address space via a system call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current process's address space into a destination process's address space. - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with using it: - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or written to would need to be contiguous. - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call, but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping (reason appears to have been lost) - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view, especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands of processes that all need to do this with each other - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to consider adding in the future (see below) - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily) As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the copying. There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source and destination and store it in the destination. Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up when the mm changes. There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2 There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for 64-bit kernels. For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly verify that the syscalls are working correctly here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/cma-test-20110718.tgz Signed-off-by: Chris Yeoh <yeohc@au1.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: "H.

| * ipv6: fix route lookup in addrconf_prefix_rcv()Andreas Hofmeister2011-10-301-3/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The route lookup to find a previously auto-configured route for a prefixes used to use rt6_lookup(), with the prefix from the RA used as an address. However, that kind of lookup ignores routing tables, the prefix length and route flags, so when there were other matching routes, even in different tables and/or with a different prefix length, the wrong route would be manipulated. Now, a new function "addrconf_get_prefix_route()" is used for the route lookup, which searches in RT6_TABLE_PREFIX and takes the prefix-length and route flags into account.

| * bonding: eliminate bond_close race conditionsJay Vosburgh2011-10-304-60/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves two sets of race conditions. Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com> reported the first, as follows: The bond_close() calls cancel_delayed_work() to cancel delayed works. It, however, cannot cancel works that were already queued in workqueue. The bond_open() initializes work->data, and proccess_one_work() refers get_work_cwq(work)->wq->flags. The get_work_cwq() returns NULL when work->data has been initialized. Thus, a panic occurs. He included a patch that converted the cancel_delayed_work calls in bond_close to flush_delayed_work_sync, which eliminated the above problem. His patch is incorporated, at least in principle, into this patch. In this patch, we use cancel_delayed_work_sync in place of flush_delayed_work_sync, and also convert bond_uninit in addition to bond_close. This conversion to _sync, however, opens new races between bond_close and three periodically executing workqueue functions: bond_mii_monitor, bond_alb_monitor and bond_activebackup_arp_mon. The race occurs because bond_close and bond_uninit are always called with RTNL held, and these workqueue functions may acquire RTNL to perform failover-related activities. If bond_close or bond_uninit is waiting in cancel_delayed_work_sync, deadlock occurs. These deadlocks are resolved by having the workqueue functions acquire RTNL conditionally. If the rtnl_trylock() fails, the functions reschedule and return immediately. For the cases that are attempting to perform link failover, a delay of 1 is used; for the other cases, the normal interval is used (as those activities are not as time critical). Additionally, the bond_mii_monitor function now stores the delay in a variable (mimicing the structure of activebackup_arp_mon). Lastly, all of the above renders the kill_timers sentinel moot, and therefore it has been removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Function tt_response_fill_table() actually uses a tt_local_entry pointer to iterate either over the local or the global table entries (it depends on the what hash table is passed as argument). To iterate over such entries the hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() macro has to access their "hash_entry" field which MUST be at the same position in both the tt_global/local_entry structures.

Normal descriptors were designed on the old MAC10/100 databook 1.91 where some bits were reserved: for example the tx checksum insertion and rx checksum offload. The patch maintains the back-compatibility with old MAC devices (tested on STx7109 MAC10/100) and adds new fields that actually new GMAC devices can use. For example, STx7109 (MAC10/100) will pass from the platform tx_coe = 0, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 0. A platform like Loongson1B (GMAC) will pass: tx_coe = 1, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 1. Thanks to Kelvin, he enhanced the normal descriptors for GMAC (on MIPS Loongson1B platform).
