2012-03-28lib/cpumask.c: remove __any_online_cpu()Srivatsa S. Bhat
__any_online_cpu() is not optimal and also unnecessary. So, replace its use by faster cpumask_* operations. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-03-28mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they existGilad Ben-Yossef
Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they actually have pages when asked to flush. This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple, possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them). This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to ACK the IPI takes a long time. Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next patch in the series and using proc/interrupts. In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload: $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2 pcp_global_drain 0 pcp_global_ipi_saved 0 $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL CAL: 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Function call interrupts $ hackbench 400 [OOM messages snipped] $ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2 pcp_global_drain 3647 pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642 $ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL CAL: 6 13 6 3 3 3 1 2 7 Function call interrupts Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

2012-03-28fs: only send IPI to invalidate LRU BH when neededGilad Ben-Yossef
In several code paths, such as when unmounting a file system (but not only) we send an IPI to ask each cpu to invalidate its local LRU BHs. For multi-cores systems that have many cpus that may not have any LRU BH because they are idle or because they have not performed any file system accesses since last invalidation (e.g. CPU crunching on high perfomance computing nodes that write results to shared memory or only using filesystems that do not use the bh layer.) This can lead to loss of performance each time someone switches the KVM (the virtual keyboard and screen type, not the hypervisor) if it has a USB storage stuck in. This patch attempts to only send an IPI to cpus that have LRU BH.

2012-03-28slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flushGilad Ben-Yossef
flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy(). So every cache being destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system, regardless if the cache has ever been used there. For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy(). So running some infiniband config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency sensitive task. I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario. This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such objects. The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for locking regardless. Without this patch the following artificial test case: $ cd /sys/kernel/slab $ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none. The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y config was tested using fault injection framework.

2012-03-28smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter funcGilad Ben-Yossef
Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu. The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time via smp_call_function_single(). The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling failures etc. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/gfpflags/gfp_flags/] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid double-evaluation of `info' (per Michal), parenthesise evaluation of `cond_func'] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/CPU/CPUs, use all 80 cols in comment] Signed-off-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.org> Cc: Kosaki Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Reviewed-by: "Srivatsa S.

2012-03-28smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() functionGilad Ben-Yossef
We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task: cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter. Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system. This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code paths. This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond() infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI invocation to per CPU group invocations. Core kernel: on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask, which may or may not include the local processor. You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. arch/arm: Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one: 1. It has the mask as first parameter 2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled, but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs with interrupts disabled anyway. arch/tile: The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs with interrupts disabled.

2012-03-28swapon: check validity of swap_flagsHugh Dickins
Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported. But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to support more swap_flags in future. It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just revert if it turns out to do so.

2012-03-28mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killingDavid Rientjes
The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences: - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from being made or tasks from exiting, - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in the coredumping process, or - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete. This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and the process continues to exit.

2012-03-28mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range()Hugh Dickins
Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers). This is not really a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas. Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range(). Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range: POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify, difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is attempting to implement it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

With correct setup you get: # dmesg | grep -i 'offset\|ibs' LVT offset 0 assigned for vector 0xf9 LVT offset 1 assigned for vector 0x400 IBS: LVT offset 1 assigned perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007) oprofile: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007) Note: The vector includes also the message type to handle also NMIs (0x400).

2012-03-28dm thin: relax hard limit on the maximum size of a metadata deviceMike Snitzer
The thin metadata format can only make use of a device that is <= THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS (currently 15.9375 GB). Therefore, there is no practical benefit to using a larger device. However, it may be that other factors impose a certain granularity for the space that is allocated to a device (E.g. lvm2 can impose a coarse granularity through the use of large, >= 1 GB, physical extents). Rather than reject a larger metadata device, during thin-pool device construction, switch to allowing it but issue a warning if a device larger than THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (16 GB) is provided. Any space over 15.9375 GB will not be used. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2012-03-28dm persistent data: remove space map ref_count entries if redundantJoe Thornber
Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if they're no longer needed. Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above. When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

2012-03-28dm thin: commit outstanding data every secondJoe Thornber
Commit unwritten data every second to prevent too much building up. Released blocks don't become available until after the next commit (for crash resilience). Prior to this patch commits were only triggered by a message to the target or a REQ_{FLUSH,FUA} bio. This allowed far too big a position to build up. The interval is hard-coded to 1 second. This is a sensible setting. I'm not making this user configurable, since there isn't much to be gained by tweaking this - and a lot lost by setting it far too high.

2012-03-28dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf inputMikulas Patocka
Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string. For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number, but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc". As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"' will pass without an error. This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement. The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number, sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2. We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some garbage appended.

2012-03-28dm raid: handle failed devices during start upJonathan E Brassow
The dm-raid code currently fails to create a RAID array if any of the superblocks cannot be read. This was an oversight as there is already code to handle this case if the values ('- -') were provided for the failed array position. With this patch, if a superblock cannot be read, the array position's fields are initialized as though '- -' was set in the table. That is, the device is failed and the position should not be used, but if there is sufficient redundancy, the array should still be activated.

2012-03-28dm thin metadata: pass correct space map to dm_sm_root_sizeJoe Thornber
Fix a harmless typo. The root is a chunk of data that gets written to the superblock. This data is used to recreate the space map when opening a metadata area. We have two space maps; one tracking space on the metadata device and one of the data device. Both of these use the same format for their root, so this typo was harmless.
