Convert XIP to support non-struct page backed memory, using VM_MIXEDMAP for
the user mappings.
This requires the get_xip_page API to be changed to an address based one.
Improve the API layering a little bit too, while we're here.
This is required in order to support XIP filesystems on memory that isn't
backed with struct page (but memory with struct page is still supported too).

vm_insert_mixed will insert either a raw pfn or a refcounted struct page into
the page tables, depending on whether vm_normal_page() will return the page or
not. With the introduction of the new pte bit, this is now a too tricky for
drivers to be doing themselves.
filemap_xip uses this in a subsequent patch.

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:
vm_normal_page()
{
...
if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
#else
if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
return NULL;
#endif
goto out;
}
...
}
This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):
vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
return pte_page(pte);
#else
...
#endif
}
And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.
So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.
BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

This series introduces some important infrastructure work. The overall result
is that:
1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no
struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement
this for s390.
This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand,
in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a
readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently,
guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have
100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct
pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?)
For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non-
volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then
your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even
though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly
eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more
attractive to a lot of these guys.
2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want
to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support
COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM
filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will
most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing,
which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not)
comes from.
3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless
get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up "oltp" on db2 by
10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they
scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these
workloads. I'm hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on
pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not
meant to justify this patchset (which doesn't include lockless gup),
but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that
should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it
on at least x86 and powerpc as well.
This patch:
Introduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP. This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in
that it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without
struct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount
(PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations
are mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non
refcounted ranges).
VM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not
refcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because it
needs to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg. for /dev/mem mappings).

Having separate page flags for the head and the tail of a compound page allows
the compiler to use bitops instead of operations on a word to check for a tail
page. That is f.e. important for virt_to_head_page() which is used in
various critical code paths (kfree for example):
Code for PageTail(page)
Before:
mov (%rdi),%rdx page->flags
mov %rdx,%rax 3 bytes
and $0x12000,%eax 5 bytes
cmp $0x12000,%rax 6 bytes
je 897 <kfree+0xa7>
After:
mov (%rdi),%rax
test $0x40,%ah (3 bytes)
jne 887 <kfree+0x97>
So we go from 14 bytes to 3 bytes and from 3 instructions to one. From the
use of 2 registers we go to none.
We can only use page flags for this if we have page flags available. This
patch introduces CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED that is set if pageflags are not
scarce due to SPARSEMEM using page flags for its sectionid on 32 bit NUMA
platforms.
Additional page flag definitions can be added to the CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
section in page-flags.h if the functionality depends on PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED or
if more page flag overlapping tricks are used for the !PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
fallback (the upcoming virtual compound patch may hook in here and Rik's/Lee's
additional page flags to solve the reclaim issues could also be added there
[hint... hint... where are these patchsets?]).
Avoiding the overlaying of Pg_reclaim also clears the way for possible use of
compound pages for the pagecache or on the LRU.

Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated
vmalloc memory.
It allows to see the users of vmalloc. That is important if vmalloc space is
scarce (i386 for example).
And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc.
Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback.
This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no
longer necessary to access the memory. /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how
that reduction occurs.
If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer
possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations
fell back to virtual compound pages. That is important for new users of
virtual compound pages. Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may
fallback to virtual compound pages in the future.
/proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible
information leakage.

Parsing of new mode flags in the tmpfs mpol mount option is slightly broken:
Setting a valid flag works OK:
#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=static:1-2 /dev/shm
#mount
...
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind=static:1-2)
...
However, we can't remove them or change them, once we've
set a valid flag:
#mount -o remount,mpol=bind:1-2 /dev/shm
#mount
...
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind:1-2)
...
It SAYS it removed it, but that's just a copy of the input
string. If we now try to set it to a different flag, we
get:
#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=relative:1-2 /dev/shm
mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option
And on the console, we see:
tmpfs: Bad value 'bind' for mount option 'mpol'
^ lost remainder of string
Furthermore, bogus flags are accepted with out error.
Granted, they are a no-op:
#mount -o remount,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3 /dev/shm
#mount
...
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3)
Again, that's just a copy of the input string shown by the mount command.
This patch fixes the behavior by pre-zeroing the flags so that only one of the
mutually exclusive flags can be set at one time. It also reports an error
when an unrecognized flag is specified.
The check for both flags being set is removed because it can't happen with
this implementation. If we ever want to support multiple non-exclusive flags,
this area will need rework and we will need to check that any mutually
exclusive flags aren't specified.

void (*rebind)(struct mempolicy *, const nodemask_t *);
This splits the implementation for the various modes out of two large

beneficial to add additional functions to accomodate the existing switch()

[*] The ->create() function for MPOL_DEFAULT is currently NULL since no

Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies
nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative
to the current task's mems_allowed.
When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto
the current task's mems_allowed. For example, consider a task using
set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a
nodemask of 1-3. If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is
5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed).
If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound
each time the mems are changed. Some possible rebinds and results are:
mems result
1-3 1-3
1-7 2-4
1,5-6 1,5-6
1,5-7 5-7
Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned
to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap.
In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently
effected nodemask to the relative nodemask.
This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.

Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the
node remap when the policy is rebound.
Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of
a union with cpuset_mems_allowed:
struct mempolicy {
...
union {
nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed;
nodemask_t user_nodemask;
} w;
}
that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the
mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind(). When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES,
which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask
intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when
determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating
the interleave nodemask. This happens whenever the policy is rebound,
including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are
changed.
This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy
"intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that
it desires. For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over
a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created
and the task continues to use the previous policy. With this change, however,
it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access
to nodes in the nodemask is acquired.
It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when
specifying a node or nodemask. To do this, simply add "=static" immediately
following the mempolicy mode at mount time:
mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3
Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it
is now obsoleted. The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.

With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode
flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances. The
most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the
nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind.
Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy'
formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall. A new constant,
MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be
passed as part of this int. Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of
their policy are rejected as invalid.
An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags:
struct mempolicy {
...
unsigned short policy;
unsigned short flags;
}
The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in
sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls. This is
done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of
there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct
mempolicy. The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in
the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain
unchanged.
The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the
user in get_mempolicy().
This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break
userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either
switch (policy) {
case MPOL_BIND:
...
case MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
...
};
statements or
if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) {
...
}
statements. Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when
calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements
to stop working. If an application does start using optional mode flags, it
will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional
statements that only test mode.
An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the
optional mode flags.

The mempolicy mode constants, MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_PREFERRED, MPOL_BIND, and

sequentially numbered and cannot be combined.
The policy member of struct mempolicy is also converted from type short to
type unsigned short. A negative policy does not have any legitimate meaning,
so it is possible to change its type in preparation for adding optional mode
flags later.
The equivalent member of struct shmem_sb_info is also changed from int to
unsigned short.
For compatibility, the policy formal to get_mempolicy() remains as a pointer
to an int:
int get_mempolicy(int *policy, unsigned long *nmask,
unsigned long maxnode, unsigned long addr,
unsigned long flags);
although the only possible values is the range of type unsigned short.

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.
This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones
allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these
zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.
This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The
first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The
second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
allocations.
An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and
foreign. It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.
When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no
longer the case.
This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first
zone in the zonelist is it. This simplifies the reading of later patches in
this set.

Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the
appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a
cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If
necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.

The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists
that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with
regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the
MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is
ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the
MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters
only custom zonelists.
The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses
zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist.
The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up
the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the
set.
The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as
it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist.
The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are
filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset
introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE.
The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node
indices of entries in a zonelist.
The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask.
Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for
__GFP_THISNODE.
Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real
workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the
benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing
of zonelists.
These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against
2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and
ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA.

This patch:
The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct
reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This
simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

DIO invalidates page cache through invalidate_inode_pages2_range().
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() sets ret=-EIO when
invalidate_complete_page2() fails, but this ret is cleared if
do_launder_page() succeed on a page of next index.
In this case, dio is carried out even if invalidate_complete_page2() fails
on some pages.
This can cause inconsistency between memory and blocks on HDD because the
page cache still exists.

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.
I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

This patch changes the s390 memory management defintions to use the pgste field
for dirty and reference bit tracking of host and guest code. Usually on s390,
dirty and referenced are tracked in storage keys, which belong to the physical
page. This changes with virtualization: The guest and host dirty/reference bits
are defined to be the logical OR of the values for the mapping and the physical
page. This patch implements the necessary changes in pgtable.h for s390.
There is a common code change in mm/rmap.c, the call to
page_test_and_clear_young must be moved. This is a no-op for all
architecture but s390. page_referenced checks the referenced bits for
the physiscal page and for all mappings:
o The physical page is checked with page_test_and_clear_young.
o The mappings are checked with ptep_test_and_clear_young and friends.
Without pgstes (the current implementation on Linux s390) the physical page
check is implemented but the mapping callbacks are no-ops because dirty
and referenced are not tracked in the s390 page tables. The pgstes introduces
guest and host dirty and reference bits for s390 in the host mapping. These
mapping must be checked before page_test_and_clear_young resets the reference
bit.

...
note that there is a 2M hole between them - not optimal.
the root cause is that usemap (24 bytes) will be allocated after every 2M
mem_map, and it will push next vmemmap (2M) to the next (2M) alignment.
solution: try to allocate the mem_map continously.
after the patch, we get:
[ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
[ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001600000 on node 0

[ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810001a00000 on node 0
[ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
...
which is the ideal layout.
and usemap will share a page because of they are allocated continuously too:
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00000 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00080 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00100 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00180 size = 24
...
so we make the bootmem allocation more compact and use less memory
for usemap => mission accomplished ;-)
