2013-07-03sparsemem: add BUILD_BUG_ON when sizeof mem_section is non-power-of-2Cody P Schafer1-0/+4
Instead of leaving a hidden trap for the next person who comes along and wants to add something to mem_section, add a big fat warning about it needing to be a power-of-2, and insert a BUILD_BUG_ON() in sparse_init() to catch mistakes. Right now non-power-of-2 mem_sections cause a number of WARNs at boot (which don't clearly point to the size of mem_section as an issue), but the system limps on (temporarily, at least). This is based upon Dave Hansen's earlier RFC where he ran into the same issue: "sparsemem: fix boot when SECTIONS_PER_ROOT is not power-of-2" http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1205.2/03077.html Signed-off-by: Cody P Schafer <cody@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-07-03mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pagesJiang Liu1-4/+10
Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

2013-07-03mm: vmscan: block kswapd if it is encountering pages under writebackMel Gorman1-0/+8
Historically, kswapd used to congestion_wait() at higher priorities if it was not making forward progress. This made no sense as the failure to make progress could be completely independent of IO. It was later replaced by wait_iff_congested() and removed entirely by commit 258401a6 (mm: don't wait on congested zones in balance_pgdat()) as it was duplicating logic in shrink_inactive_list(). This is problematic. If kswapd encounters many pages under writeback and it continues to scan until it reaches the high watermark then it will quickly skip over the pages under writeback and reclaim clean young pages or push applications out to swap. The use of wait_iff_congested() is not suited to kswapd as it will only stall if the underlying BDI is really congested or a direct reclaimer was unable to write to the underlying BDI. kswapd bypasses the BDI congestion as it sets PF_SWAPWRITE but even if this was taken into account then it would cause direct reclaimers to stall on writeback which is not desirable. This patch sets a ZONE_WRITEBACK flag if direct reclaim or kswapd is encountering too many pages under writeback. If this flag is set and kswapd encounters a PageReclaim page under writeback then it'll assume that the LRU lists are being recycled too quickly before IO can complete and block waiting for some IO to complete.

2013-07-03mm: vmscan: have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages encountered, not priorityMel Gorman1-0/+9
Currently kswapd queues dirty pages for writeback if scanning at an elevated priority but the priority kswapd scans at is not related to the number of unqueued dirty encountered. Since commit "mm: vmscan: Flatten kswapd priority loop", the priority is related to the size of the LRU and the zone watermark which is no indication as to whether kswapd should write pages or not. This patch tracks if an excessive number of unqueued dirty pages are being encountered at the end of the LRU. If so, it indicates that dirty pages are being recycled before flusher threads can clean them and flags the zone so that kswapd will start writing pages until the zone is balanced.

2013-03-22mm: zone_end_pfn is too smallRuss Anderson1-1/+1
Booting with 32 TBytes memory hits BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:552! (output below). The key hint is "page 4294967296 outside zone". 4294967296 = 0x100000000 (bit 32 is set).

2013-01-04mm: fix zone_watermark_ok_safe() accounting of isolated pagesBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz1-8/+0
Commit 702d1a6e0766 ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem. Then later, commit 2139cbe627b8 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter. It made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice making free pages counter incorrect). This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman: "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and autonuma which is in aa.git. In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...
2012-12-12mm: introduce new field "managed_pages" to struct zoneJiang Liu1-7/+34
Currently a zone's present_pages is calcuated as below, which is inaccurate and may cause trouble to memory hotplug. spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve. During fixing bugs caused by inaccurate zone->present_pages, we found zone->present_pages has been abused. The field zone->present_pages may have different meanings in different contexts: 1) pages existing in a zone. 2) pages managed by the buddy system. For more discussions about the issue, please refer to: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/ This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system". And revert zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages. We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is inaccurate. For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to: (spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve) Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem(). The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones' managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages" in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore. This patch also adds a new field "managed_pages" to /proc/zoneinfo and sysrq showmem.

2012-11-16memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oopsHugh Dickins1-1/+1
When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option), when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.) But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60 IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60 Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0) Call Trace: __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100 __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30 lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130 lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40 ... The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone. So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases. Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec. Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better proofed against future changes this way. I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5 (now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no answer when I enquired twice before.

2012-10-09CMA: migrate mlocked pagesMinchan Kim1-0/+2
Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate contiguous memory space. This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out. Of course, it can affect realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while CMA is running. If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times.

2012-10-09mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distanceDavid Rientjes1-0/+1
RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such a distance. To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two nodes on the system is greather than this distance. This, however, ends up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of its affinity. What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than RECLAIM_DISTANCE. This patch adds a nodemask to each node that represents the set of nodes that are within this distance. During the zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node, then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

2012-10-09mm: compaction: clear PG_migrate_skip based on compaction and reclaim activityMel Gorman1-1/+2
Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning. This information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths. Hence there is a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped forever. Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds. Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship to VM activity and is basically a big hammer. Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so this patch implements a rough heuristic. There are two cases where the cache is cleared. 1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as it will be woken on the next allocation request. 2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a full scan. This situation happens if there are multiple high-order allocation requests under heavy memory pressure. The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently racy but the race is harmless. For allocations that can fail such as THP, they will simply fail. For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the allocation. Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates were similar.

2012-10-09mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left offMel Gorman1-0/+4
This is almost entirely based on Rik's previous patches and discussions with him about how this might be implemented. Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page order have been coalesced. When doing subsequent higher order allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times. However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to at the end of the zone. This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone. This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with certain workloads on larger memory systems. This patch caches where the migration and free scanner should start from on subsequent compaction invocations using the pageblock-skip information. When compaction starts it begins from the cached restart points and will update the cached restart points until a page is isolated or a pageblock is skipped that would have been scanned by synchronous compaction.

2012-10-09mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolatedMel Gorman1-0/+3
When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could potentially be excessive. The ideal was that a counter be maintained for each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe penalty due to a shared writable cache line. It has reached the point where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large number of THPs at the same time. Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip. If a pageblock is scanned by either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is marked to be skipped in the future. When scanning, this bit is checked before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set. The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch o CMA always ignores the information o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache was discarded o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache. The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick succession due to memory pressure. Waiting until memory pressure is relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page. The time-based mechanism is clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

These patches were a good idea and tests confirmed that they massively reduced the amount of scanning but the implementation is complex and tricky to understand.

If swap is backed by network storage such as NBD, there is a risk that a large number of reclaimers can hang the system by consuming all PF_MEMALLOC reserves. To avoid these hangs, the administrator must tune min_free_kbytes in advance which is a bit fragile. This patch throttles direct reclaimers if half the PF_MEMALLOC reserves are in use. If the system is routinely getting throttled the system administrator can increase min_free_kbytes so degradation is smoother but the system will keep running.

2012-07-31memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problemMinchan Kim1-0/+8
When hotplug offlining happens on zone A, it starts to mark freed page as MIGRATE_ISOLATE type in buddy for preventing further allocation. (MIGRATE_ISOLATE is very irony type because it's apparently on buddy but we can't allocate them). When the memory shortage happens during hotplug offlining, current task starts to reclaim, then wake up kswapd. Kswapd checks watermark, then go sleep because current zone_watermark_ok_safe doesn't consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE freed page count. Current task continue to reclaim in direct reclaim path without kswapd's helping. The problem is that zone->all_unreclaimable is set by only kswapd so that current task would be looping forever like below. __alloc_pages_slowpath restart: wake_all_kswapd rebalance: __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim do_try_to_free_pages if global_reclaim && !all_unreclaimable return 1; /* It means we did did_some_progress */ skip __alloc_pages_may_oom should_alloc_retry goto rebalance; If we apply KOSAKI's patch[1] which doesn't depends on kswapd about setting zone->all_unreclaimable, we can solve this problem by killing some task in direct reclaim path. But it doesn't wake up kswapd, still. It could be a problem still if other subsystem needs GFP_ATOMIC request. So kswapd should consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE when it calculate free pages BEFORE going sleep. This patch counts the number of MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block and zone_watermark_ok_safe will consider it if the system has such blocks (fortunately, it's very rare so no problem in POV overhead and kswapd is never hotpath). Copy/modify from Mel's quote " Ideal solution would be "allocating" the pageblock. It would keep the free space accounting as it is but historically, memory hotplug didn't allocate pages because it would be difficult to detect if a pageblock was isolated or if part of some balloon. Allocating just full pageblocks would work around this, However, it would play very badly with CMA.

2012-07-31mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdatJiang Liu1-1/+1
When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

2012-07-31mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it leftRik van Riel1-0/+4
Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page order have been coalesced. When doing subsequent higher order allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times. However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to at the end of the zone. This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone. This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with certain workloads on larger memory systems. The obvious solution is to have isolate_freepages remember where it left off last time, and continue at that point the next time it gets invoked for an order > 0 compaction. This could cause compaction to fail if cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn are close together initially, in that case we restart from the end of the zone and try once more. Forced full (order == -1) compactions are left alone.

But kswapd_stop() only terminates the work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL.

This is the first stage of struct mem_cgroup_zone removal. Further patches replace struct mem_cgroup_zone with a pointer to struct lruvec. If CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=n lruvec_zone() is just container_of().

2012-05-29mm/memcg: move reclaim_stat into lruvecHugh Dickins1-15/+14
With mem_cgroup_disabled() now explicit, it becomes clear that the zone_reclaim_stat structure actually belongs in lruvec, per-zone when memcg is disabled but per-memcg per-zone when it's enabled. We can delete mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat(), and change update_page_reclaim_stat() to update just the one set of stats, the one which get_scan_count() will actually use.

2012-05-29mm: remove lru type checks from __isolate_lru_page()Konstantin Khlebnikov1-7/+3
After patch "mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()" we can completely remove anon/file and active/inactive lru type filters from __isolate_lru_page(), because isolation for 0-order reclaim always isolates pages from right lru list. And pages-isolation for lumpy shrink_inactive_list() or memory-compaction anyway allowed to isolate pages from all evictable lru lists.

2012-05-25Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mappingLinus Torvalds1-7/+40
Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski: "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem (mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted. The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big chunk of physically contiguous memory. For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles: - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator': http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ - 'CMA and ARM': http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/ - 'A deep dive into CMA': http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/ - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204 The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the core, common code. The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework. This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware. For more information please refer to the following thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

2012-05-21mm: trigger page reclaim in alloc_contig_range() to stabilise watermarksMarek Szyprowski1-0/+9
alloc_contig_range() performs memory allocation so it also should keep track on keeping the correct level of memory watermarks. This commit adds a call to *_slowpath style reclaim to grab enough pages to make sure that the final collection of contiguous pages from freelists will not starve the system.

2012-05-21mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type addedMichal Nazarewicz1-7/+31
The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics: (i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks. This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no memory left in the system). It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB) of physically contiguous memory. Once driver requests contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be migrated away to create a contiguous block. To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other migration types when requested.

2012-03-21vmscan: only defer compaction for failed order and higherRik van Riel1-0/+1
Currently a failed order-9 (transparent hugepage) compaction can lead to memory compaction being temporarily disabled for a memory zone. Even if we only need compaction for an order 2 allocation, eg. for jumbo frames networking. The fix is relatively straightforward: keep track of the highest order at which compaction is succeeding, and only defer compaction for orders at which compaction is failing.

2012-01-12mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware againMel Gorman1-0/+2
Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware") noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list. This had to be partially reverted because some dirty pages can be migrated by compaction without blocking. This patch updates "mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page" by skipping over pages that migration has no possibility of migrating to minimise LRU disruption.

2012-01-12mm: collect LRU list heads into struct lruvecJohannes Weiner1-4/+6
Having a unified structure with a LRU list set for both global zones and per-memcg zones allows to keep that code simple which deals with LRU lists and does not care about the container itself. Once the per-memcg LRU lists directly link struct pages, the isolation function and all other list manipulations are shared between the memcg case and the global LRU case.
