From: Andi Kleen Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 01:34:10 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodes X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13~16 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=485761bd6a72d33b3d4fa884927b2b0d983b701e;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodes Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility. (akpm: lotsa thanks to Martin for working this problem out) Cc: Martin Bligh Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/arch/x86_64/kernel/e820.c b/arch/x86_64/kernel/e820.c index 6ded3a50df..b548dea4e5 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/kernel/e820.c +++ b/arch/x86_64/kernel/e820.c @@ -185,6 +185,40 @@ unsigned long __init e820_end_of_ram(void) } /* + * Compute how much memory is missing in a range. + * Unlike the other functions in this file the arguments are in page numbers. + */ +unsigned long __init +e820_hole_size(unsigned long start_pfn, unsigned long end_pfn) +{ + unsigned long ram = 0; + unsigned long start = start_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT; + unsigned long end = end_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT; + int i; + for (i = 0; i < e820.nr_map; i++) { + struct e820entry *ei = &e820.map[i]; + unsigned long last, addr; + + if (ei->type != E820_RAM || + ei->addr+ei->size <= start || + ei->addr >= end) + continue; + + addr = round_up(ei->addr, PAGE_SIZE); + if (addr < start) + addr = start; + + last = round_down(ei->addr + ei->size, PAGE_SIZE); + if (last >= end) + last = end; + + if (last > addr) + ram += last - addr; + } + return ((end - start) - ram) >> PAGE_SHIFT; +} + +/* * Mark e820 reserved areas as busy for the resource manager. */ void __init e820_reserve_resources(void) diff --git a/arch/x86_64/mm/init.c b/arch/x86_64/mm/init.c index 72e4b364ed..aa4a5189ec 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/mm/init.c +++ b/arch/x86_64/mm/init.c @@ -322,18 +322,26 @@ void zap_low_mappings(void) void __init paging_init(void) { { - unsigned long zones_size[MAX_NR_ZONES] = {0, 0, 0}; + unsigned long zones_size[MAX_NR_ZONES]; + unsigned long holes[MAX_NR_ZONES]; unsigned int max_dma; + memset(zones_size, 0, sizeof(zones_size)); + memset(holes, 0, sizeof(holes)); + max_dma = virt_to_phys((char *)MAX_DMA_ADDRESS) >> PAGE_SHIFT; - if (end_pfn < max_dma) + if (end_pfn < max_dma) { zones_size[ZONE_DMA] = end_pfn; - else { + holes[ZONE_DMA] = e820_hole_size(0, end_pfn); + } else { zones_size[ZONE_DMA] = max_dma; + holes[ZONE_DMA] = e820_hole_size(0, max_dma); zones_size[ZONE_NORMAL] = end_pfn - max_dma; + holes[ZONE_NORMAL] = e820_hole_size(max_dma, end_pfn); } - free_area_init(zones_size); + free_area_init_node(0, NODE_DATA(0), zones_size, + __pa(PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT, holes); } return; } diff --git a/arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c b/arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c index 70cb2904a9..6a156f5692 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c +++ b/arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c @@ -126,9 +126,11 @@ void __init setup_node_zones(int nodeid) { unsigned long start_pfn, end_pfn; unsigned long zones[MAX_NR_ZONES]; + unsigned long holes[MAX_NR_ZONES]; unsigned long dma_end_pfn; memset(zones, 0, sizeof(unsigned long) * MAX_NR_ZONES); + memset(holes, 0, sizeof(unsigned long) * MAX_NR_ZONES); start_pfn = node_start_pfn(nodeid); end_pfn = node_end_pfn(nodeid); @@ -139,13 +141,17 @@ void __init setup_node_zones(int nodeid) dma_end_pfn = __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS) >> PAGE_SHIFT; if (start_pfn < dma_end_pfn) { zones[ZONE_DMA] = dma_end_pfn - start_pfn; + holes[ZONE_DMA] = e820_hole_size(start_pfn, dma_end_pfn); zones[ZONE_NORMAL] = end_pfn - dma_end_pfn; + holes[ZONE_NORMAL] = e820_hole_size(dma_end_pfn, end_pfn); + } else { zones[ZONE_NORMAL] = end_pfn - start_pfn; + holes[ZONE_NORMAL] = e820_hole_size(start_pfn, end_pfn); } free_area_init_node(nodeid, NODE_DATA(nodeid), zones, - start_pfn, NULL); + start_pfn, holes); } void __init numa_init_array(void) diff --git a/include/asm-x86_64/e820.h b/include/asm-x86_64/e820.h index 8e94edf0b9..e682edc24a 100644 --- a/include/asm-x86_64/e820.h +++ b/include/asm-x86_64/e820.h @@ -51,6 +51,8 @@ extern int e820_mapped(unsigned long start, unsigned long end, unsigned type); extern void e820_bootmem_free(pg_data_t *pgdat, unsigned long start,unsigned long end); extern void e820_setup_gap(void); +extern unsigned long e820_hole_size(unsigned long start_pfn, + unsigned long end_pfn); extern void __init parse_memopt(char *p, char **end);
