2018-02-18percpu: allow select gfp to be passed to underlying allocatorsDennis Zhou
The prior patch added support for passing gfp flags through to the underlying allocators. This patch allows users to pass along gfp flags (currently only __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN) to the underlying allocators. This should allow users to decide if they are ok with failing allocations recovering in a more graceful way. Additionally, gfp passing was done as additional flags in the previous patch. Instead, change this to caller passed semantics. GFP_KERNEL is also removed as the default flag. It continues to be used for internally caused underlying percpu allocations. V2: Removed gfp_percpu_mask in favor of doing it inline. Removed GFP_KERNEL as a default flag for __alloc_percpu_gfp.

2018-02-18percpu: add __GFP_NORETRY semantics to the percpu balancing pathDennis Zhou
Percpu memory using the vmalloc area based chunk allocator lazily populates chunks by first requesting the full virtual address space required for the chunk and subsequently adding pages as allocations come through. To ensure atomic allocations can succeed, a workqueue item is used to maintain a minimum number of empty pages. In certain scenarios, such as reported in [1], it is possible that physical memory becomes quite scarce which can result in either a rather long time spent trying to find free pages or worse, a kernel panic. This patch adds support for __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN passing them through to the underlying allocators. This should prevent any unnecessary panics potentially caused by the workqueue item. The passing of gfp around is as additional flags rather than a full set of flags. The next patch will change these to caller passed semantics. V2: Added const modifier to gfp flags in the balance path. Removed an extra whitespace.

2017-11-15mm: remove __GFP_COLDMel Gorman
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

2014-09-02percpu: move region iterations out of pcpu_[de]populate_chunk()Tejun Heo
Previously, pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() were called with the range which may contain multiple target regions in it and pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() iterated over the regions. This has the benefit of batching up cache flushes for all the regions; however, we're planning to add more bookkeeping logic around [de]population to support atomic allocations and this delegation of iterations gets in the way. This patch moves the region iterations out of pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() into its callers - pcpu_alloc() and pcpu_reclaim() - so that we can later add logic to track more states around them. This change may make cache and tlb flushes more frequent but multi-region [de]populations are rare anyway and if this actually becomes a problem, it's not difficult to factor out cache flushes as separate callbacks which are directly invoked from percpu.c.

2014-09-02percpu: move common parts out of pcpu_[de]populate_chunk()Tejun Heo
percpu-vm and percpu-km implement separate versions of pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() and some part which is or should be common are currently in the specific implementations. Make the following changes. * Allocate area clearing is moved from the pcpu_populate_chunk() implementations to pcpu_alloc(). This makes percpu-km's version noop. * Quick exit tests in pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() of percpu-vm are moved to their respective callers so that they are applied to percpu-km too. This doesn't make any meaningful difference as both functions are noop for percpu-km; however, this is more consistent and will help implementing atomic allocation support.

2014-09-02percpu: remove @may_alloc from pcpu_get_pages()Tejun Heo
pcpu_get_pages() creates the temp pages array if not already allocated and returns the pointer to it. As the function is called from both [de]population paths and depopulation can only happen after at least one successful population, the param doesn't make any difference - the allocation will always happen on the population path anyway. Remove @may_alloc from pcpu_get_pages(). Also, add an lockdep assertion pcpu_alloc_mutex instead of vaguely stating that the exclusion is the caller's responsibility.

2014-09-02percpu: remove the usage of separate populated bitmap in percpu-vmTejun Heo
percpu-vm uses pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap() to acquire temp pages array and populated bitmap and uses the two during [de]population. The temp bitmap is used only to build the new bitmap that is copied to chunk->populated after the operation succeeds; however, the new bitmap can be trivially set after success without using the temp bitmap. This patch removes the temp populated bitmap usage from percpu-vm.c. * pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap() is renamed to pcpu_get_pages() and no longer hands out the temp bitmap. * @populated arugment is dropped from all the related functions. @populated updates in pcpu_[un]map_pages() are dropped. * Two loops in pcpu_map_pages() are merged. * pcpu_[de]populated_chunk() modify chunk->populated bitmap directly from @page_start and @page_end after success.

2014-08-15percpu: perform tlb flush after pcpu_map_pages() failureTejun Heo
If pcpu_map_pages() fails midway, it unmaps the already mapped pages. Currently, it doesn't flush tlb after the partial unmapping. This may be okay in most cases as the established mapping hasn't been used at that point but it can go wrong and when it goes wrong it'd be extremely difficult to track down. Flush tlb after the partial unmapping. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2014-08-15percpu: fix pcpu_alloc_pages() failure pathTejun Heo
When pcpu_alloc_pages() fails midway, pcpu_free_pages() is invoked to free what has already been allocated. The invocation is across the whole requested range and pcpu_free_pages() will try to free all non-NULL pages; unfortunately, this is incorrect as pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap(), unlike what its comment suggests, doesn't clear the pages array and thus the array may have entries from the previous invocations making the partial failure path free incorrect pages. Fix it by open-coding the partial freeing of the already allocated pages. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

2011-11-22percpu: fix chunk range calculationTejun Heo
Percpu allocator recorded the cpus which map to the first and last units in pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu respectively and used them to determine the address range of a chunk - e.g. it assumed that the first unit has the lowest address in a chunk while the last unit has the highest address. This simply isn't true. Groups in a chunk can have arbitrary positive or negative offsets from the previous one and there is no guarantee that the first unit occupies the lowest offset while the last one the highest. Fix it by actually comparing unit offsets to determine cpus occupying the lowest and highest offsets. Also, rename pcu_first/last_unit_cpu to pcpu_low/high_unit_cpu to avoid confusion. The chunk address range is used to flush cache on vmalloc area map/unmap and decide whether a given address is in the first chunk by per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() and the bug was discovered by invalid per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() translation for crash_note.

2010-05-01percpu: move vmalloc based chunk management into percpu-vm.cTejun Heo
Separate out and move chunk management (creation/desctruction and [de]population) code into percpu-vm.c which is included by percpu.c and compiled together. The interface for chunk management is defined as follows. * pcpu_populate_chunk - populate the specified range of a chunk * pcpu_depopulate_chunk - depopulate the specified range of a chunk * pcpu_create_chunk - create a new chunk * pcpu_destroy_chunk - destroy a chunk, always preceded by full depop * pcpu_addr_to_page - translate address to physical address * pcpu_verify_alloc_info - check alloc_info is acceptable during init Other than wrapping vmalloc_to_page() inside pcpu_addr_to_page() and dummy pcpu_verify_alloc_info() implementation, this patch only moves code around. This separation is to allow alternate chunk management implementation.
