mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

2012-01-13T04:13:09Z

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.

mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage

2012-01-13T04:13:09Z

Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling, there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check; if (PageDirty(page) && !sync && mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page) rc = -EBUSY; This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would block.

mm: migration: cleanup migrate_pages API by matching types for offlining and sync

2011-01-14T01:32:34Z

With the introduction of the boolean sync parameter, the API looks a little inconsistent as offlining is still an int. Convert offlining to a bool for the sake of being tidy.

mm: migration: allow migration to operate asynchronously and avoid synchronous compaction in the faster path

2011-01-14T01:32:34Z

Migration synchronously waits for writeback if the initial passes fails. Callers of memory compaction do not necessarily want this behaviour if the caller is latency sensitive or expects that synchronous migration is not going to have a significantly better success rate. This patch adds a sync parameter to migrate_pages() allowing the caller to indicate if wait_on_page_writeback() is allowed within migration or not. For reclaim/compaction, try_to_compact_pages() is first called asynchronously, direct reclaim runs and then try_to_compact_pages() is called synchronously as there is a greater expectation that it'll succeed.

hugetlb: hugepage migration core

2010-10-08T07:32:45Z

This patch extends page migration code to support hugepage migration. One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.) Todo: - there are other users of page migration such as memory policy, memory hotplug and memocy compaction. They are not ready for hugepage support for now. ChangeLog since v4: - define migrate_huge_pages() - remove changes on isolation/putback_lru_page() ChangeLog since v2: - refactor isolate/putback_lru_page() to handle hugepage - add comment about race on unmap_and_move_huge_page() ChangeLog since v1: - divide migration code path for hugepage - define routine checking migration swap entry for hugetlb - replace "goto" with "if/else" in remove_migration_pte() Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura Acked-by: Mel Gorman Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

mm: compaction: memory compaction core

2010-05-25T15:06:59Z

This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone. A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner. Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone. The migration scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called migratelist. The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them available for the migration scanner. The pages isolated for migration are then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.

mm: remove return value of putback_lru_pages()

2010-05-25T15:06:57Z

putback_lru_page() never can fail. So it doesn't matter count of "the number of pages put back". In addition, users of this functions don't use return value. Let's remove unnecessary code.
