| * nommu: provide follow_pfn().Paul Mundt2009-06-251-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the introduction of follow_pfn() as an exported symbol, modules have begun making use of it. Unfortunately this was not reflected on nommu at the time, so the in-tree users have subsequently all blown up with link errors there. This provides a simple follow_pfn() that just returns addr >> PAGE_SHIFT, which will do the right thing on nommu. There is no need to do range checking within the vma, as the find_vma() case will already take care of this. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newly allocated objects are more likely to be reported as false positives. Kmemleak ignores the reporting of objects younger than 5 seconds. However, this age was calculated after the memory scanning completed which usually takes longer than 5 seconds. This patch make the minimum object age calculation in relation to the start of the memory scanning. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

* | | mm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much workRichard Kennedy2009-07-011-1/+4

This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback list. A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem. fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10 This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on my desktop machine writing to 2 disks. Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more data. This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing. While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also, kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized quite some time ago.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a kthread happens to use get_user_pages() on an mm (as KSM does), there's a chance that it will end up trying to read in a swap page, then oops in grab_swap_token() because the kthread has no mm: GUP passes down the right mm, so grab_swap_token() ought to be using it. We have not identified a stronger case than KSM's daemon (not yet in mainline), but the issue must have come up before, since RHEL has included a fix for this for years (though a different fix, they just back out of grab_swap_token if current->mm is unset: which is what we first proposed, but using the right mm here seems more correct).

* Remove internal use of 'write_access' in mm/memory.cLinus Torvalds2009-06-211-21/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set flags like "you can return a retry error" etc. And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the 'write_access' boolean around. This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags' variable instead. The 'write_access' calling convention still exists for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* memcg: fix lru rotation in isolate_pagesKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-182-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to fix memcg's lru rotation sanity: make memcg use the same logic as the global LRU does. Now, at __isolate_lru_page() retruns -EBUSY, the page is rotated to the tail of LRU in global LRU's isolate LRU pages. But in memcg, it's not handled. This makes memcg do the same behavior as global LRU and rotate LRU in the page is busy.

* memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limitKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-181-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A user can set memcg.limit_in_bytes == memcg.memsw.limit_in_bytes when the user just want to limit the total size of applications, in other words, not very interested in memory usage itself. In this case, swap-out will be done only by global-LRU. But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out. But, that swap-out is useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again. This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit == memsw.limit case. And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of this special case.

* memcg: fix swap accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-182-9/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg. In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when swap is completely freed. But there are several cases where swap cannot be freed cleanly. For handling that, this patch changes that memcg uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache. By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the application's behavior. This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.

* memcg: add file-based RSS accountingBalbir Singh2009-06-183-2/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add file RSS tracking per memory cgroup We currently don't track file RSS, the RSS we report is actually anon RSS. All the file mapped pages, come in through the page cache and get accounted there. This patch adds support for accounting file RSS pages. It should 1. Help improve the metrics reported by the memory resource controller 2. Will form the basis for a future shared memory accounting heuristic that has been proposed by Kamezawa. Unfortunately, we cannot rename the existing "rss" keyword used in memory.stat to "anon_rss". We however, add "mapped_file" data and hope to educate the end user through documentation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kmemleak allocates memory for pointer tracking and it tries to avoid using GFP_ATOMIC if the caller doesn't require it. However other gfp flags may be passed by the caller which aren't required by kmemleak. This patch filters the gfp flags so that only GFP_KERNEL | GFP_ATOMIC are used.
