mm: rename allocflags_to_migratetype for clarity

2014-10-10T02:25:55Z

The page allocator has gfp flags (like __GFP_WAIT) and alloc flags (like ALLOC_CPUSET) that have separate semantics. The function allocflags_to_migratetype() actually takes gfp flags, not alloc flags, and returns a migratetype. Rename it to gfpflags_to_migratetype().

mm: page_alloc: convert hot/cold parameter and immediate callers to bool

2014-06-04T23:54:09Z

cold is a bool, make it one. Make the likely case the "if" part of the block instead of the else as according to the optimisation manual this is preferred.

mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG

2014-06-04T23:53:56Z

Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.

mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify

2014-03-11T00:26:19Z

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE

2014-01-24T00:36:50Z

Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page. Usually, when one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and the registers. I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is quite useful to people debugging issues in mm. This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual BUG_ON.

mm: allocate kernel pages to the right memcg

2012-12-18T23:02:12Z

When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed. To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason, whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of __free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

This flag is used to indicate to the callees that this allocation is a kernel allocation in process context, and should be accounted to current's memcg.
