17 years agopretend cpuset has some form of hugetlb page reservation
Ken Chen [Wed, 9 May 2007 09:33:34 +0000 (02:33 -0700)]
pretend cpuset has some form of hugetlb page reservation

When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as
the accounting is done on a global variable.  Such reservation is
completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not
checked against page availability for the current cpuset.  Application can
still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset
that the task is in.  Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is
almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or
memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets.

The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is
undesirable.  However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall
back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and
hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on
hugetlb.

fix leaky resv_huge_pages when cpuset is in use

The internal hugetlb resv_huge_pages variable can permanently leak nonzero

used in combination of cpuset.  The leaked count can permanently trap N
number of hugetlb pages in unusable "reserved" state.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

  (1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2
  (2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1
  (3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2
  (4) kernel oom the user process in step 3
  (5) ipcrm the shm segment

At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though
there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment
in the system.  The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method
other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use
of that many htlb pages in all cpusets.

The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not
properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing
inconsistent state.

This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the

When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module.  If
disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log
state.  If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this
would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized.  Instead, we assume all
regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state.  Failure to do this could
result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it
isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

SLUB: add CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components
of SLUB.  Thus SLUB will be able to replace SLOB.  SLUB can arrange objects in
a denser way than SLOB and the code size should be minimal without debugging
and sysfs support.

Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG.
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB.  SLUB enables
debugging via a boot parameter.  SLUB debug code should always be present.

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be modified in the embedded config section.

17 years ago[SPARC64] PCI: Use root list of pbm's instead of pci_controller_info's
David S. Miller [Tue, 8 May 2007 06:06:27 +0000 (23:06 -0700)]
[SPARC64] PCI: Use root list of pbm's instead of pci_controller_info's

The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm,
with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info
entirely as there really isn't any need for it.

This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of
the PCI error interrupt handling.

It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for
a few reasons:

1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want
   to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both
   PBMs for error status.  These errors come from the UPA
   front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus
   segments.

   Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure
   hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info

2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the
   'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be
   eliminated trivially.

What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm
to another.
