18 years ago[PATCH] cpuset: better bitmap remap defaults
Paul Jackson [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:01:46 +0000 (01:01 -0800)]
[PATCH] cpuset: better bitmap remap defaults

Fix the default behaviour for the remap operators in bitmap, cpumask and
nodemask.

As previously submitted, the pair of masks <A, B> defined a map of the
positions of the set bits in A to the corresponding bits in B.  This is still
true.

The issue is how to map the other positions, corresponding to the unset (0)
bits in A.  As previously submitted, they were all mapped to the first set bit
position in B, a constant map.

When I tried to code per-vma mempolicy rebinding using these remap operators,
I realized this was wrong.

This patch changes the default to map all the unset bit positions in A to the
same positions in B, the identity map.

For example, if A has bits 4-7 set, and B has bits 9-12 set, then the map
defined by the pair <A, B> maps each bit position in the first 32 bits as
follows:

0 ==> 0
  ...
3 ==> 3
4 ==> 9
  ...
7 ==> 12
8 ==> 8
9 ==> 9
  ...
31 ==> 31

This now corresponds to the typical behaviour desired when migrating pages and
policies from one cpuset to another.

The pages on nodes within the original cpuset, and the references in memory
policies to nodes within the original cpuset, are migrated to the
corresponding cpuset-relative nodes in the destination cpuset.  Other pages
and node references are left untouched.

18 years ago[PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator
Matt Mackall [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:01:45 +0000 (01:01 -0800)]
[PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator

configurable replacement for slab allocator

This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  When CONFIG_SLAB is
disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator.

SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer,
similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced.  It's
signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient.  But like all
similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more
than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems.

It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree.  I've also
stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not
recommended).

Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving
nearly half a megabyte of RAM:

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.

[PATCH] Swap Migration V5: migrate_pages() function

This adds the basic page migration function with a minimal implementation that
only allows the eviction of pages to swap space.

Page eviction and migration may be useful to migrate pages, to suspend
programs or for remapping single pages (useful for faulty pages or pages with
soft ECC failures)

The process is as follows:

The function wanting to migrate pages must first build a list of pages to be
migrated or evicted and take them off the lru lists via isolate_lru_page().
isolate_lru_page determines that a page is freeable based on the LRU bit set.

Then the actual migration or swapout can happen by calling migrate_pages().

migrate_pages does its best to migrate or swapout the pages and does multiple
passes over the list.  Some pages may only be swappable if they are not dirty.
 migrate_pages may start writing out dirty pages in the initial passes over
the pages.  However, migrate_pages may not be able to migrate or evict all
pages for a variety of reasons.

The remaining pages may be returned to the LRU lists using putback_lru_pages().

Changelog V4->V5:
- Use the lru caches to return pages to the LRU

Changelog V3->V4:
- Restructure code so that applying patches to support full migration does
  require minimal changes. Rename swapout_pages() to migrate_pages().

- Extract common code from shrink_list() and swapout_pages()

Christoph Lameter [Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:00:45 +0000 (01:00 -0800)]
[PATCH] Swap Migration V5: LRU operations

This is the start of the `swap migration' patch series.

Swap migration allows the moving of the physical location of pages between
nodes in a numa system while the process is running.  This means that the
virtual addresses that the process sees do not change.  However, the system
rearranges the physical location of those pages.

The main intent of page migration patches here is to reduce the latency of
memory access by moving pages near to the processor where the process
accessing that memory is running.

The patchset allows a process to manually relocate the node on which its
pages are located through the MF_MOVE and MF_MOVE_ALL options while
setting a new memory policy.

The pages of process can also be relocated from another process using the
sys_migrate_pages() function call.  Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  The migrate_pages
function call takes two sets of nodes and moves pages of a process that are
located on the from nodes to the destination nodes.

Manual migration is very useful if for example the scheduler has relocated a
process to a processor on a distant node.  A batch scheduler or an
administrator can detect the situation and move the pages of the process
nearer to the new processor.

sys_migrate_pages() could be used on non-numa machines as well, to force all
of a particualr process's pages out to swap, if someone thinks that's useful.

Larger installations usually partition the system using cpusets into sections
of nodes.  Paul has equipped cpusets with the ability to move pages when a
task is moved to another cpuset.  This allows automatic control over locality
of a process.  If a task is moved to a new cpuset then also all its pages are
moved with it so that the performance of the process does not sink
dramatically (as is the case today).

Swap migration works by simply evicting the page.  The pages must be faulted
back in.  The pages are then typically reallocated by the system near the node
where the process is executing.

For swap migration the destination of the move is controlled by the allocation
policy.  Cpusets set the allocation policy before calling sys_migrate_pages()
in order to move the pages as intended.

No allocation policy changes are performed for sys_migrate_pages().  This
means that the pages may not faulted in to the specified nodes if no
allocation policy was set by other means.  The pages will just end up near the
node where the fault occurred.

There's another patch series in the pipeline which implements "direct
migration".

The direct migration patchset extends the migration functionality to avoid
going through swap.  The destination node of the relation is controllable
during the actual moving of pages.  The crutch of using the allocation policy
to relocate is not necessary and the pages are moved directly to the target.
Its also faster since swap is not used.

And sys_migrate_pages() can then move pages directly to the specified node.
Implement functions to isolate pages from the LRU and put them back later.

This patch:

An earlier implementation was provided by Hirokazu Takahashi
<taka@valinux.co.jp> and IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp> for the
memory hotplug project.

[PATCH] add schedule_on_each_cpu()

[NETFILTER]: Fix xfrm lookup in ip_route_me_harder/ip6_route_me_harder

ip_route_me_harder doesn't use the port numbers of the xfrm lookup and
uses ip_route_input for non-local addresses which doesn't do a xfrm
lookup, ip6_route_me_harder doesn't do a xfrm lookup at all.

Use xfrm_decode_session and do the lookup manually, make sure both
only do the lookup if the packet hasn't been transformed already.

Makeing sure the lookup only happens once needs a new field in the
IP6CB, which exceeds the size of skb->cb. The size of skb->cb is
increased to 48b. Apparently the IPv6 mobile extensions need some
more room anyway.

[XFRM]: Netfilter IPsec output hooks

Call netfilter hooks before IPsec transforms. Packets visit the
FORWARD/LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before the first encapsulation
and the LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before each following tunnel mode
transform.

Patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:

Move the loop from dst_output into xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output since they're
the only ones who need to it. xfrm{4,6}_output_one() processes the first SA
all subsequent transport mode SAs and is called in a loop that calls the
netfilter hooks between each two calls.

In order to avoid the tail call issue, I've added the inline function
nf_hook which is nf_hook_slow plus the empty list check.
