Finish converting mm/mempolicy.c from bitmaps to nodemasks. The previous
conversion had left one routine using bitmaps, since it involved a
corresponding change to kernel/cpuset.c
Fix that interface by replacing with a simple macro that calls nodes_subset(),
or if !CONFIG_CPUSET, returns (1).

This was was first posted at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=113149240227584&w=2
(Part of this functionality is also contained in the direct migration
pathset. The functionality here is more generic and independent of that
patchset.)
- Add internal flags MPOL_MF_INVERT to control check_range() behavior.
- Replace the pagelist passed through by check_range by a general
private pointer that may be used for other purposes.
(The following patches will use that to merge numa_maps into
mempolicy.c and to better group the page migration code in
the policy layer)
- Improve some comments.

Extend the parameters of migrate_pages() to allow the caller control over the
fate of successfully migrated or impossible to migrate pages.
Swap migration and direct migration will have the same interface after this
patch so that patches can be independently applied to the policy layer and the
core migration code.

sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may
have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul
Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide
to manually control the migration.
This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides
a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
implementation.
The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available
then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all
pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

Add page migration support via swap to the NUMA policy layer
This patch adds page migration support to the NUMA policy layer. An
additional flag MPOL_MF_MOVE is introduced for mbind. If MPOL_MF_MOVE is
specified then pages that do not conform to the memory policy will be evicted
from memory. When they get pages back in new pages will be allocated
following the numa policy.

Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side
effect to set the policy_zone. This seems to be a bit strange. policy
zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0. Do we police
ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet?
This patch moves the determination of the zone to apply policies to into
the page allocator. We determine the zone while building the zonelist for
nodes.

mempolicy.c contains provisional interface for huge page allocation based on
node numbers. This is in use in SLES9 but was never used (AFAIK) in upstream
versions of Linux.
Huge page allocations now use zonelists to figure out where to allocate pages.
The use of zonelists allows us to find the closest hugepage which was the
consideration of the NUMA distance for huge page allocations.

The huge_zonelist() function in the memory policy layer provides an list of
zones ordered by NUMA distance. The hugetlb layer will walk that list looking
for a zone that has available huge pages but is also in the nodeset of the

This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.
Sparc update from David in the next commit.

Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few
drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The
PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in
zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages
just leak away.
Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core,
to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they
have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in
core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and
sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range.
Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it
needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special
vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be
eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it
kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages
don't get on).
Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no
purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset
memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task,
without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation.
If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the
root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a
task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed
does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below,
rebind_policy() is not even called.
When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the
essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set
of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to
manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the
essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs
memory placement within its allowed cpuset.
However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the
kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering.
This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the
same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes.
Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job
need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can
be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one
task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an
external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in
the context of the task using it.
However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when
a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a
refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that
is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs
to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the
tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing
cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The
bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative
calculations.
This patch leaves open a couple of issues:
1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies:
These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to
the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs,
which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such
a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within
that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes
outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will
provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that
patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies
across a job migration.
2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space:
This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using
system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More
work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means
to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current
API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across
the kernel-user boundary.

Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for
vma based policies. It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not
accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these
nodes. Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an
application to fail with out of memory.
Example:
Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and
a huge array computational array X.
Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is
restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3.
Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus
applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2. The cpuset limits this to node
0. Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now.
Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a
page. According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be
allocated on page 0. However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on
0 and 1. Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory.

- Do a separation between do_xxx and sys_xxx functions. sys_xxx functions
take variable sized bitmaps from user space as arguments. do_xxx functions
take fixed sized nodemask_t as arguments and may be used from inside the
kernel. Doing so simplifies the initialization code. There is no
fs = kernel_ds assumption anymore.
- Split up get_nodes into get_nodes (which gets the node list) and
contextualize_policy which restricts the nodes to those accessible
to the task and updates cpusets.
- Add comments explaining limitations of bind policy

Convert those common loops using page_table_lock on the outside and
pte_offset_map within to use just pte_offset_map_lock within instead.
These all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a
page table be whipped away from beneath them. But whereas pte_alloc loops
tested with the "atomic" pmd_present, these loops are testing with pmd_none,
which on i386 PAE tests both lower and upper halves.
That's now unsafe, so add a cast into pmd_none to test only the vital lower
half: we lose a little sensitivity to a corrupt middle directory, but not
enough to worry about. It appears that i386 and UML were the only
architectures vulnerable in this way, and pgd and pud no problem.

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.
MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.
Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2
I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration. There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process. I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process. numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps. F.e. with this patch you can see the page use

declared as unsigned int or unsigned long.

All mempolicy changes must be inside the spinlock and readding the rb_erase

Strict mbind's check for currently mapped pages being on node has been
using a slow loop which re-evaluates pgd, pud, pmd, pte for each entry:
replace that by a standard four-level page table walk like others in mm.
Since mmap_sem is held for writing, page_table_lock can be taken at the
inner level to limit latency.

Strict mbind's check that pages already mapped are on right node has been
using pte_page without checking if pfn_valid, and without page_table_lock
to prevent spurious failures when try_to_unmap_one intervenes between the
pte_present and the pte_page.

This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.
Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.
So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.
We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
