[PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones. As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port was originally designed we had some discussion if we should use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early 2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy. But this has always caused problems since then because device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven it can deal with many zones successfully. So this patch adds both zones. This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.). Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was not enough memory. Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory (like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent, but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better. One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because it seems to be the most common restriction. The new zone is so far added only for x86-64. For other architectures who don't set up this new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32 as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able enough. One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite ugly and is now obsolete. These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] mempolicies: fix policy_zone check There is a check in zonelist_policy that compares pieces of the bitmap obtained from a gfp mask via GFP_ZONETYPES with a zone number in function zonelist_policy(). The bitmap is an ORed mask of __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32 and __GFP_HIGHMEM. The policy_zone is a zone number with the possible values of ZONE_DMA, ZONE_DMA32, ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_NORMAL. These are two different domains of values. For some reason seemed to work before the zone reduction patchset (It definitely works on SGI boxes since we just have one zone and the check cannot fail). With the zone reduction patchset this check definitely fails on systems with two zones if the system actually has memory in both zones. This is because ZONE_NORMAL is selected using no __GFP flag at all and thus gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 0. ZONE_DMA is selected when __GFP_DMA is set. __GFP_DMA is 0x01. So gfp_zone(gfpmask) == 1. policy_zone is set to ZONE_NORMAL (==1) if ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_DMA are populated. For ZONE_NORMAL gfp_zone(<no _GFP_DMA>) yields 0 which is < policy_zone(ZONE_NORMAL) and so policy is not applied to regular memory allocations! Instead gfp_zone(__GFP_DMA) == 1 which results in policy being applied to DMA allocations! What we realy want in that place is to establish the highest allowable zone for a given gfp_mask. If the highest zone is higher or equal to the policy_zone then memory policies need to be applied. We have such a highest_zone() function in page_alloc.c. So move the highest_zone() function from mm/page_alloc.c into include/linux/gfp.h. On the way we simplify the function and use the new zone_type that was also introduced with the zone reduction patchset plus we also specify the right type for the gfp flags parameter.

[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.
