2014-10-29percpu: off by one in BUG_ON()Dan Carpenter
The unit_map[] array has "nr_cpu_ids" number of elements. It's allocated a few lines earlier in the function. So this test should be >= instead of >. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2014-10-08percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocatorTejun Heo
When @gfp is specified, the percpu allocator is interested in whether it contains all of GFP_KERNEL or not. If it does, the normal allocation path is taken; otherwise, the atomic allocation path. Unfortunately, pcpu_alloc() was incorrectly testing for whether @gfp contains any part of GFP_KERNEL. Fix it by testing "(gfp & GFP_KERNEL) != GFP_KERNEL" instead of "!(gfp & GFP_KERNEL)" to decide whether the allocation should be atomic or not. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2014-09-02percpu: implement asynchronous chunk populationTejun Heo
The percpu allocator now supports atomic allocations by only allocating from already populated areas but the mechanism to ensure that there's adequate amount of populated areas was missing. This patch expands pcpu_balance_work so that in addition to freeing excess free chunks it also populates chunks to maintain an adequate level of populated areas. pcpu_alloc() schedules pcpu_balance_work if the amount of free populated areas is too low or after an atomic allocation failure. * PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE is increased by two pages to account for PCPU_EMPTY_POP_PAGES_LOW. * pcpu_async_enabled is added to gate both async jobs - chunk->map_extend_work and pcpu_balance_work - so that we don't end up scheduling them while the needed subsystems aren't up yet.

2014-09-02percpu: rename pcpu_reclaim_work to pcpu_balance_workTejun Heo
pcpu_reclaim_work will also be used to populate chunks asynchronously. Rename it to pcpu_balance_work in preparation. pcpu_reclaim() is renamed to pcpu_balance_workfn() and some of its local variables are renamed too. This is pure rename. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2014-09-02percpu: implmeent pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and chunk->nr_populatedTejun Heo
pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages counts the number of empty populated pages across all chunks and chunk->nr_populated counts the number of populated pages in a chunk. Both will be used to implement pre/async population for atomic allocations. pcpu_chunk_[de]populated() are added to update chunk->populated, chunk->nr_populated and pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages together. All successful chunk [de]populations should be followed by the corresponding pcpu_chunk_[de]populated() calls. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2014-09-02percpu: make sure chunk->map array has available spaceTejun Heo
An allocation attempt may require extending chunk->map array which requires GFP_KERNEL context which isn't available for atomic allocations. This patch ensures that chunk->map array usually keeps some amount of available space by directly allocating buffer space during GFP_KERNEL allocations and scheduling async extension during atomic ones. This should make atomic allocation failures from map space exhaustion rare. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2014-09-02percpu: implement [__]alloc_percpu_gfp()Tejun Heo
Now that pcpu_alloc_area() can allocate only from populated areas, it's easy to add atomic allocation support to [__]alloc_percpu(). Update pcpu_alloc() so that it accepts @gfp and skips all the blocking operations and allocates only from the populated areas if @gfp doesn't contain GFP_KERNEL. New interface functions [__]alloc_percpu_gfp() are added. While this means that atomic allocations are possible, this isn't complete yet as there's no mechanism to ensure that certain amount of populated areas is kept available and atomic allocations may keep failing under certain conditions.

2014-09-02percpu: indent the population block in pcpu_alloc()Tejun Heo
The next patch will conditionalize the population block in pcpu_alloc() which will end up making a rather large indentation change obfuscating the actual logic change. This patch puts the block under "if (true)" so that the next patch can avoid indentation changes. The defintions of the local variables which are used only in the block are moved into the block. This patch is purely cosmetic. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2014-09-02percpu: make pcpu_alloc_area() capable of allocating only from populated areasTejun Heo
Update pcpu_alloc_area() so that it can skip unpopulated areas if the new parameter @pop_only is true. This is implemented by a new function, pcpu_fit_in_area(), which determines the amount of head padding considering the alignment and populated state. @pop_only is currently always false but this will be used to implement atomic allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2014-09-02percpu: restructure lockingTejun Heo
At first, the percpu allocator required a sleepable context for both alloc and free paths and used pcpu_alloc_mutex to protect everything. Later, pcpu_lock was introduced to protect the index data structure so that the free path can be invoked from atomic contexts. The conversion only updated what's necessary and left most of the allocation path under pcpu_alloc_mutex. The percpu allocator is planned to add support for atomic allocation and this patch restructures locking so that the coverage of pcpu_alloc_mutex is further reduced. * pcpu_alloc() now grab pcpu_alloc_mutex only while creating a new chunk and populating the allocated area. Everything else is now protected soley by pcpu_lock. After this change, multiple instances of pcpu_extend_area_map() may race but the function already implements sufficient synchronization using pcpu_lock. This also allows multiple allocators to arrive at new chunk creation. To avoid creating multiple empty chunks back-to-back, a new chunk is created iff there is no other empty chunk after grabbing pcpu_alloc_mutex. * pcpu_lock is now held while modifying chunk->populated bitmap. After this, all data structures are protected by pcpu_lock. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
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.

2014-03-07percpu: store offsets instead of lengths in ->map[]Al Viro
Current code keeps +-length for each area in chunk->map[]. It has several unpleasant consequences: * even if we know that first 50 areas are all in use, allocation still needs to go through all those areas just to sum their sizes, just to get the offset of free one. * freeing needs to find the array entry refering to the area in question; again, the need to sum the sizes until we reach the offset we are interested in. Note that offsets are monotonous, so simple binary search would do here. New data representation: array of <offset,in-use flag> pairs. Each pair is represented by one int - we use offset|1 for <offset, in use> and offset for <offset, free> (we make sure that all offsets are even). In the end we put a sentry entry - <total size, in use>. The first entry is <0, flag>; it would be possible to store together the flag for Nth area and offset for N+1st, but that leads to much hairier code. In other words, where the old variant would have 4, -8, -4, 4, -12, 100 (4 bytes free, 8 in use, 4 in use, 4 free, 12 in use, 100 free) we store <0,0>, <4,1>, <12,1>, <16,0>, <20,1>, <32,0>, <132,1> i.e. 0, 5, 13, 16, 21, 32, 133 This commit switches to new data representation and takes care of a couple of low-hanging fruits in free_pcpu_area() - one is the switch to binary search, another is not doing two memmove() when one would do. Speeding the alloc side up (by keeping track of how many areas in the beginning are known to be all in use) also becomes possible - that'll be done in the next commit.

2012-05-09percpu: pcpu_embed_first_chunk() should free unused parts after all allocs ↵Tejun Heo
are complete pcpu_embed_first_chunk() allocates memory for each node, copies percpu data and frees unused portions of it before proceeding to the next group. This assumes that allocations for different nodes doesn't overlap; however, depending on memory topology, the bootmem allocator may end up allocating memory from a different node than the requested one which may overlap with the portion freed from one of the previous percpu areas. This leads to percpu groups for different nodes overlapping which is a serious bug. This patch separates out copy & partial free from the allocation loop such that all allocations are complete before partial frees happen. This also fixes overlapping frees which could happen on allocation failure path - out_free_areas path frees whole groups but the groups could have portions freed at that point.

2011-12-15percpu: fix per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() handling of non-page-aligned addressesEugene Surovegin
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() incorrectly rounds up its result for non-kmalloc case to the page boundary, which is bogus for any non-page-aligned address. This affects the only in-tree user of this function - sysfs handler for per-cpu 'crash_notes' physical address. The trouble is that the crash_notes per-cpu variable is not page-aligned: crash_notes = 0xc08e8ed4 PER-CPU OFFSET VALUES: CPU 0: 3711f000 CPU 1: 37129000 CPU 2: 37133000 CPU 3: 3713d000 So, the per-cpu addresses are: crash_notes on CPU 0: f7a07ed4 => phys 36b57ed4 crash_notes on CPU 1: f7a11ed4 => phys 36b4ded4 crash_notes on CPU 2: f7a1bed4 => phys 36b43ed4 crash_notes on CPU 3: f7a25ed4 => phys 36b39ed4 However, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/crash_notes says: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/crash_notes: 36b57000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/crash_notes: 36b4d000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/crash_notes: 36b43000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/crash_notes: 36b39000 As you can see, all values are rounded down to a page boundary. Consequently, this is where kexec sets up the NOTE segments, and thus where the secondary kernel is looking for them. However, when the first kernel crashes, it saves the notes to the unaligned addresses, where they are not found. Fix it by adding offset_in_page() to the translated page address. -tj: Combined Eugene's and Petr's commit messages.

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.

2011-03-28percpu: Cast away printk format warningMike Frysinger
On 32-bit systems which don't happen to implicitly define or cast VMALLOC_START and/or VMALLOC_END to long in their arch headers, the printk in the percpu code will cause a warning to be emitted: mm/percpu.c: In function 'pcpu_embed_first_chunk': mm/percpu.c:1648: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'unsigned int' So add an explicit cast to unsigned long here.

2011-03-28NOMMU: percpu should use is_vmalloc_addr().David Howells
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() uses VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END to determine if an address is in the vmalloc() region or not. This is incorrect on NOMMU as there is no real vmalloc() capability (vmalloc() is emulated by kmalloc()). The correct way to do this is to use is_vmalloc_addr(). This encapsulates the vmalloc() region test in MMU mode and just returns 0 in NOMMU mode. On FRV in NOMMU mode, the percpu compilation fails without this patch: mm/percpu.c: In function 'per_cpu_ptr_to_phys': mm/percpu.c:1011: error: 'VMALLOC_START' undeclared (first use in this function) mm/percpu.c:1011: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mm/percpu.c:1011: error: for each function it appears in.) mm/percpu.c:1012: error: 'VMALLOC_END' undeclared (first use in this function) mm/percpu.c:1018: warning: control reaches end of non-void function Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2011-03-24percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZETejun Heo
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.
