mm: remove unused VM_ macros and expand other in-place

2013-07-09T17:33:23Z

These VM_ macros aren't used very often and three of them aren't used at all. Expand the ones that are used in-place, and remove all the now unused #define VM_ macros. VM_READHINTMASK, VM_NormalReadHint and VM_ClearReadHint were added just before 2.4 and appears have never been used.

mm: introduce helper function set_max_mapnr()

2013-07-03T23:07:38Z

Introduce a helper function set_max_mapnr() to set global variable max_mapnr. Also unify condition compilation for max_mapnr with CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES instead of CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM.

mm: introduce helper function mem_init_print_info() to simplify mem_init()

2013-07-03T23:07:35Z

Introduce helper function mem_init_print_info() to simplify mem_init() across different architectures, which also unifies the format and information printed. Function mem_init_print_info() calculates memory statistics information without walking each page, so it should be a little faster on some architectures. Also introduce another helper get_num_physpages() to kill the global variable num_physpages.

mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages

2013-07-03T23:07:33Z

Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

2013-07-03T23:07:32Z

Address more review comments from last round of code review. 1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem() on ARM64. 2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390 by mistake, so restore to the original behavior. 3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length

2013-05-22T03:17:23Z

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just up to the certain point. Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the page). This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances for it. We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation. Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.
