2012-10-09cma: count free CMA pagesBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz1-2/+3
Add NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES counter to be later used for checking watermark in __zone_watermark_ok(). For simplicity and to avoid #ifdef hell make this counter always available (not only when CONFIG_CMA=y).

2012-10-09cma: fix counting of isolated pagesBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz1-3/+9
Isolated free pages shouldn't be accounted to NR_FREE_PAGES counter. Fix it by properly decreasing/increasing NR_FREE_PAGES counter in set_migratetype_isolate()/unset_migratetype_isolate() and removing counter adjustment for isolated pages from free_one_page() and split_free_page().

2012-07-31memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problemMinchan Kim1-2/+24
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: factor out memory isolate functionsMinchan Kim1-0/+71
mm/page_alloc.c has some memory isolation functions but they are used only when we enable CONFIG_{CMA|MEMORY_HOTPLUG|MEMORY_FAILURE}. So let's make it configurable by new CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION so that it can reduce binary size and we can check it simple by CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION, not if defined CONFIG_{CMA|MEMORY_HOTPLUG|MEMORY_FAILURE}.

2008-11-06memory hotplug: fix page_zone() calculation in test_pages_isolated()Gerald Schaefer1-2/+3
My last bugfix here (adding zone->lock) introduced a new problem: Using page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)) to get the zone after the for() loop is wrong. pfn will then be >= end_pfn, which may be in a different zone or not present at all. This may lead to an addressing exception in page_zone() or spin_lock_irqsave(). Now I use __first_valid_page() again after the loop to find a valid page for page_zone().

2008-10-02memory hotplug: missing zone->lock in test_pages_isolated()Gerald Schaefer1-4/+8
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() in mm/page_isolation.c has a comment saying that the caller must hold zone->lock. But the only caller of that function, test_pages_isolated(), does not hold zone->lock and the lock is also not acquired anywhere before. This patch adds the missing zone->lock to test_pages_isolated(). We reproducibly run into BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during memory hotplug stress test, see trace below. This patch fixes that problem, it would be good if we could have it in 2.6.27. kernel BUG at /home/autobuild/BUILD/linux-2.6.26-20080909/mm/page_alloc.c:4561! illegal operation: 0001 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: dm_multipath sunrpc bonding qeth_l3 dm_mod qeth ccwgroup vmur CPU: 1 Not tainted 2.6.26-29.x.20080909-s390default #1 Process memory_loop_all (pid: 10025, task: 2f444028, ksp: 2b10dd28) Krnl PSW : 040c0000 801727ea (__offline_isolated_pages+0x18e/0x1c4) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:0 PM:0 Krnl GPRS: 00000000 7e27fc00 00000000 7e27fc00 00000000 00000400 00014000 7e27fc01 00606f00 7e27fc00 00013fe0 2b10dd28 00000005 80172662 801727b2 2b10dd28 Krnl Code: 801727de: 5810900c l %r1,12(%r9) 801727e2: a7f4ffb3 brc 15,80172748 801727e6: a7f40001 brc 15,801727e8 >801727ea: a7f4ffbc brc 15,80172762 801727ee: a7f40001 brc 15,801727f0 801727f2: a7f4ffaf brc 15,80172750 801727f6: 0707 bcr 0,%r7 801727f8: 0017 unknown Call Trace: ([<0000000000172772>] __offline_isolated_pages+0x116/0x1c4) [<00000000001953a2>] offline_isolated_pages_cb+0x22/0x34 [<000000000013164c>] walk_memory_resource+0xcc/0x11c [<000000000019520e>] offline_pages+0x36a/0x498 [<00000000001004d6>] remove_memory+0x36/0x44 [<000000000028fb06>] memory_block_change_state+0x112/0x150 [<000000000028ffb8>] store_mem_state+0x90/0xe4 [<0000000000289c00>] sysdev_store+0x34/0x40 [<00000000001ee048>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x178 [<000000000019b1a8>] vfs_write+0x74/0x118 [<000000000019b9ae>] sys_write+0x46/0x7c [<000000000011160e>] sysc_do_restart+0x12/0x16 [<0000000077f3e8ca>] 0x77f3e8ca Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-10-16memory unplug: page isolationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+138
Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops. This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this - MIGRATE_TYPES increases. - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged. pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free. By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages. If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called, - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other memory reclaiming works make progress. - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list. - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated. To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(), To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range(). Changes V6 -> V7 - removed unnecessary #ifdef There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
