Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer to merge worthy ;) -- After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep. I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common (and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's interrupt contexts). I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes. It *seems* to work.

* / slab: remove GFP_THISNODE clearing from alloc_slabmgmt()Pekka Enberg2008-12-291-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6cb062296f73e74768cca2f3eaf90deac54de02d ("Categorize GFP flags") left one call-site in alloc_slabmgmt() to clear GFP_THISNODE instead of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK. Unfortunately, that ends up clearing __GFP_NOWARN and __GFP_NORETRY as well which is not what we want. As the only caller of alloc_slabmgmt() already clears GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK before passing local_flags to it, we can just remove the clearing of GFP_THISNODE. This patch should fix spurious page allocation failure warnings on the mempool_alloc() path.

* infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objectsThomas Gleixner2008-04-301-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

* mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idxMel Gorman2008-04-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

* mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP maskMel Gorman2008-04-281-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

* slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfixJoe Korty2008-03-061-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill) is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq block that it inherited from its caller. As a result those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the process to another numa node occured while the irq block had been dropped. The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block. The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur, one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in check_spinlock_acquired: kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417 cache_alloc_refill+0xe6 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0 ...
