2010-05-27cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()Jack Steiner2-0/+9
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.

2010-05-27cpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocationsJack Steiner2-0/+7
We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system. There are numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in cpuset_mem_spread_node(). For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ... Odd nodes are skipped. (Sometimes it allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes). An example is shown below. The program "lfile" writes a file consisting of 10 pages. The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(..., MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated. The output is shown below: # ./lfile allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2 There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab pages. Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page (buffer_head). This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page allocated. A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven allocation: # echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab # ./lfile allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

2010-05-27cgroups: make cftype.unregister_event() void-returningKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
Since we are unable to handle an error returned by cftype.unregister_event() properly, let's make the callback void-returning. mem_cgroup_unregister_event() has been rewritten to be a "never fail" function. On mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() we save old buffer for thresholds array and reuse it in mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() to avoid allocation. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2010-05-27memcg: fix mis-accounting of file mapped racy with migrationakpm@linux-foundation.org2-2/+9
FILE_MAPPED per memcg of migrated file cache is not properly updated, because our hook in page_add_file_rmap() can't know to which memcg FILE_MAPPED should be counted. Basically, this patch is for fixing the bug but includes some big changes to fix up other messes. Now, at migrating mapped file, events happen in following sequence. 1. allocate a new page. 2. get memcg of an old page. 3. charge ageinst a new page before migration. But at this point, no changes to new page's page_cgroup, no commit for the charge. (IOW, PCG_USED bit is not set.) 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, old-page and new-page. 5. page migration remaps the new page if the old page was mapped. 6. Here, the new page is unlocked. 7. memcg commits the charge for newpage, Mark the new page's page_cgroup as PCG_USED. Because "commit" happens after page-remap, we can count FILE_MAPPED at "5", because we should avoid to trust page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. if PCG_USED bit is unset. (Note: memcg's LRU removal code does that but LRU-isolation logic is used for helping it. When we overwrite page_cgroup->mem_cgroup, page_cgroup is not on LRU or page_cgroup->mem_cgroup is NULL.) We can lose file_mapped accounting information at 5 because FILE_MAPPED is updated only when mapcount changes 0->1. So we should catch it. BTW, historically, above implemntation comes from migration-failure of anonymous page. Because we charge both of old page and new page with mapcount=0, we can't catch - the page is really freed before remap. - migration fails but it's freed before remap or .....corner cases. New migration sequence with memcg is: 1. allocate a new page. 2. mark PageCgroupMigration to the old page. 3. charge against a new page onto the old page's memcg. (here, new page's pc is marked as PageCgroupUsed.) 4. page migration replaces radix-tree, page table, etc... 5. At remapping, new page's page_cgroup is now makrked as "USED" We can catch 0->1 event and FILE_MAPPED will be properly updated. And we can catch SWAPOUT event after unlock this and freeing this page by unmap() can be caught. 7. Clear PageCgroupMigration of the old page. So, FILE_MAPPED will be correctly updated. Then, for what MIGRATION flag is ? Without it, at migration failure, we may have to charge old page again because it may be fully unmapped. "charge" means that we have to dive into memory reclaim or something complated. So, it's better to avoid charge it again. Before this patch, __commit_charge() was working for both of the old/new page and fixed up all. But this technique has some racy condtion around FILE_MAPPED and SWAPOUT etc... Now, the kernel use MIGRATION flag and don't uncharge old page until the end of migration. I hope this change will make memcg's page migration much simpler. This page migration has caused several troubles. Worth to add a flag for simplification.

2010-05-27memcg: move charge of file pagesDaisuke Nishimura1-0/+5
This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file. It's enabled by setting bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate. Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault, i.e. they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps the same file. And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved even if page_mapcount(page) > 1). So, conditions that the page/swap should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

2010-05-27gpiolib: introduce set_debounce methodFelipe Balbi2-0/+10
A few architectures, like OMAP, allow you to set a debouncing time for the gpio before generating the IRQ. Teach gpiolib about that. Mark said: : This would be generally useful for embedded systems, especially where : the interrupt concerned is a wake source. It allows drivers to avoid : spurious interrupts from noisy sources so if the hardware supports it : the driver can avoid having to explicitly wait for the signal to become : stable and software has to cope with fewer events. We've lived without : it for quite some time, though. David said: : I looked at adding debounce support to the generic GPIO calls (and thus : gpiolib) some time back, but decided against it. I forget why at this : time (check list archives) but it wasn't because of lack of utility in : certain contexts. : : One thing to watch out for is just how variable the hardware capabilities : are. Atmel GPIOs have something like a fixed number of 32K clock cycles : for debounce, twl4030 had something odd, OMAPs were more like the Atmel : chips but with a different clock. In some cases debouncing had to be : ganged, not per-GPIO. And so forth.

SDIO specification allows RAW (Read after Write) operation using IO_RW_DIRECT command (CMD52) by setting the RAW bit. This operation is similar to ordinary read/write commands, except that both write and read are performed using single command/response pair. The Linux SDIO layer already supports this internaly, only external function is missing for drivers to make use, which is added by this patch. This type of command is required to implement proper power save mode support in wl1251 wifi driver.

As host drivers are converted to dev_pm_ops they'll have to construct pm_message_t's (as they won't be passed by the PM subsystem any more) just to appease the mmc suspend interface.

2010-05-25driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loadingKay Sievers1-0/+2
This adds: alias: devname:<name> to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading of the kernel module when the device node is accessed. Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts. The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory: $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading. microcode cpu/microcode c10:184 fuse fuse c10:229 ppp_generic ppp c108:0 tun net/tun c10:200 dm_mod mapper/control c10:235 Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed: $ /sbin/udevd --debug ... static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200 static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666 udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666 A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor numbers. Note: The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance* device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used. This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to paper-over broken concepts.

This work includes the following: - Implement handler for FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC ioctl. - Allocate the data and palette buffers separately. A consequence of this is that the palette and data loading is now done in different phases. And that the LCD must be disabled temporarily after the palette is loaded but this will only happen once after init and each time the palette is changed. I think this is OK. - Allocate two (ping and pong) framebuffers from memory. - Add pan_display handler which toggles the LCDC DMA registers between the ping and pong buffers.

Content for the 8bit device threaded interrupt handlers. Depending on the interrupt line and chip configuration, either click or wakeup / freefall handler is called. In case of click, BTN_ event is sent via input device. In case of wakeup or freefall, input device ABS_ events are updated immediatelly. It is still possible to configure interrupt line 1 for fast freefall detection and use the second line either for click or threshold based interrupts. Or both lines can be used for click / threshold interrupts. Polled input device can be set to stopped state and still get coordinate updates via input device using interrupt based method. Polled mode and interrupt mode can also be used parallel. BTN_ events are remapped based on existing axis remapping information.

2010-05-25lis3: introduce platform data for second ff / wu unitSamu Onkalo1-0/+9
8 bit device has two wakeup / free fall units. It was not possible to configure the second unit. This patch introduces configuration entry to the platform data and also corresponding changes to the 8 bit setup function. High pass filters were enabled by default. Patch introduces configuration option for high pass filter cut off frequency and also possibility to disable or enable the filter via platform data. Since the control is a new one and default state was filter enabled, new option is used to disable the filter. This way old platform data is still compatible with the change.

This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks to protect the atomic_t. These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only atomic_t implementation inside the kernel.

Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which doesn't have onlined local memory. The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online. For a numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized at present. As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by CPUs within this node will fail. In fact, an out-of-memory error is triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online. This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

2010-05-25mm: compaction: defer compaction using an exponential backoff when ↵Mel Gorman2-0/+48
compaction fails The fragmentation index may indicate that a failure is due to external fragmentation but after a compaction run completes, it is still possible for an allocation to fail. There are two obvious reasons as to why o Page migration cannot move all pages so fragmentation remains o A suitable page may exist but watermarks are not met In the event of compaction followed by an allocation failure, this patch defers further compaction in the zone (1 << compact_defer_shift) times. If the next compaction attempt also fails, compact_defer_shift is increased up to a maximum of 6. If compaction succeeds, the defer counters are reset again. The zone that is deferred is the first zone in the zonelist - i.e. the preferred zone. To defer compaction in the other zones, the information would need to be stored in the zonelist or implemented similar to the zonelist_cache. This would impact the fast-paths and is not justified at this time.

2010-05-25mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted ↵Mel Gorman1-0/+3
and when it should be reclaimed The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

2010-05-25mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation failsMel Gorman2-4/+21
Ordinarily when a high-order allocation fails, direct reclaim is entered to free pages to satisfy the allocation. With this patch, it is determined if an allocation failed due to external fragmentation instead of low memory and if so, the calling process will compact until a suitable page is freed. Compaction by moving pages in memory is considerably cheaper than paging out to disk and works where there are locked pages or no swap. If compaction fails to free a page of a suitable size, then reclaim will still occur. Direct compaction returns as soon as possible. As each block is compacted, it is checked if a suitable page has been freed and if so, it returns.
