mm: check if section present during memory block registering

2015-09-04T23:54:41Z

Tony Luck found on his setup, if memory block size 512M will cause crash during booting. BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0074000020 IP: get_nid_for_pfn+0x17/0x40 PGD 128ffcb067 PUD 128ffc9067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.2.0-rc8 #1 ...

For example: memory block : [0x2c18000000, 0x2c20000000) 512M first three sections are not present. The current register_mem_sect_under_node() assume first section is present, but memory block section number range [start_section_nr, end_section_nr] would include not present section. For arch that support vmemmap, we don't setup memmap for struct page area within not present sections area. So skip the pfn range that belong to absent section.

mm: meminit: initialise a subset of struct pages if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set

2015-07-01T02:44:56Z

This patch initalises all low memory struct pages and 2G of the highest zone on each node during memory initialisation if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set. That config option cannot be set but will be available in a later patch. Parallel initialisation of struct page depends on some features from memory hotplug and it is necessary to alter alter section annotations.

drivers/base/node: clean up attribute group conversion

drivers/base/node: Avoid manual device_create_file() calls

2015-03-25T12:42:55Z

Instead of manual calls of multiple device_create_file() and device_remove_file(), use the static attribute groups assigned to the new device. This also fixes the possible races, too. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/base: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:38Z

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'. cpumask and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args() respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask. * Line termination only requires one extra space at the end of the buffer. Use PAGE_SIZE - 1 instead of PAGE_SIZE - 2 when formatting. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cpumask: factor out show_cpumap into separate helper function

2014-11-07T19:45:00Z

Many sysfs *_show function use cpu{list,mask}_scnprintf to copy cpumap to the buffer aligned to PAGE_SIZE, append '\n' and '\0' to return null terminated buffer with newline. This patch creates a new helper function cpumap_print_to_pagebuf in cpumask.h using newly added bitmap_print_to_pagebuf and consolidates most of those sysfs functions using the new helper function.

mm: remove noisy remainder of the scan_unevictable interface

2014-10-10T02:25:55Z

The deprecation warnings for the scan_unevictable interface triggers by scripts doing `sysctl -a | grep something else'. This is annoying and not helpful. The interface has been defunct since 264e56d8247e ("mm: disable user interface to manually rescue unevictable pages"), which was in 2011, and there haven't been any reports of usecases for it, only reports that the deprecation warnings are annying. It's unlikely that anybody is using this interface specifically at this point, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

driver/base/node: remove unnecessary kfree of node struct from unregister_one_node

2014-10-03T21:55:48Z

Commit 92d585ef067d ("numa: fix NULL pointer access and memory leak in unregister_one_node()") added kfree() of node struct in unregister_one_node(). But node struct is freed by node_device_release() which is called in unregister_node(). So by adding the kfree(), node struct is freed two times. While hot removing memory, the commit leads the following BUG_ON(): kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3346! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] Call Trace: [...] unregister_one_node [...] try_offline_node [...] remove_memory [...] acpi_memory_device_remove [...] acpi_bus_trim [...] acpi_bus_trim [...] acpi_device_hotplug [...] acpi_hotplug_work_fn [...] process_one_work [...] worker_thread [...] ? rescuer_thread [...] kthread [...] ? kthread_create_on_node [...] ret_from_fork [...] ? kthread_create_on_node This patch removes unnecessary kfree() from unregister_one_node().

mm: export NR_SHMEM via sysinfo(2) / si_meminfo() interfaces

2014-08-07T01:01:19Z

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2) sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the "shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces. This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our current API documentation states.
