alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a
clean rewrite that keeps the semantics.
bdata->last_pos has been dropped.
bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index
relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start
at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather
than its beginning.
bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that
it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the
node.

link_bootmem handles an insertion of a new descriptor into the sorted list
in more or less three explicit branches; empty list, insert in between and
append. These cases can be expressed implicite.
Also mark the sorted list as initdata as it can be thrown away after boot
as well.

With shared reservations (and now also with private reservations), we reserve
huge pages at mmap time. We also account for the mapping against fs quota to
prevent a reservation from being preempted by quota exhaustion.
When testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite, I found a problem with quota
accounting. FS quota for allocated pages is handled correctly but we are not
releasing quota for private pages that were reserved but never allocated. Do
this in hugetlb_vm_op_close() at the same time as unused page reservations are
released.

When removing a huge page from the hugepage pool for a fault the system checks
to see if the mapping requires additional pages to be reserved, and if it does
whether there are any unreserved pages remaining. If not, the allocation
fails without even attempting to get a page. In order to determine whether to
apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma
is MAP_PRIVATE and is the owner. This incorrectly triggers the remaining
reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the
final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping.
In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the
process is not the original mapper. Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with
vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and
update the caller.

Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge
page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values. For each supported huge
page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a
pgtable_cache. The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to
functions so that they know which huge page size they should use.
The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so
that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them.
The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g.
hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

The huge page size is defined for 16G pages. If a hugepagesz of 16G is
specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the
default 16M.
The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to
make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not
shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift
value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

Make some infrastructure changes to allow boot-time allocation of
different hugepage page sizes.
- move all basic hstate initialisation into hugetlb_add_hstate
- create a new function hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages() to do the

order to allocate giant pages from bootmem.
- Check for multiple hugepages= parameters

This is needed on x86-64 to handle GB pages in hugetlbfs, because it is
not practical to enlarge MAX_ORDER to 1GB.
Instead the 1GB pages are only allocated at boot using the bootmem
allocator using the hugepages=... option.
These 1G bootmem pages are never freed. In theory it would be possible to
implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way
street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to
currently.
The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture. It is not very
big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it.
Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory
allocated for gb pages in "Total". This is a little confusing for the
user.

Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates
in sysfs. There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages. Underneath
that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size,
e.g.:
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB
corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively. Within each
hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the
tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.:
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages
Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are
read-only. The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially
deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to
match meminfo).

Add the ability to configure the hugetlb hstate used on a per mount basis.
- Add a new pagesize= option to the hugetlbfs mount that allows setting
the page size
- This option causes the mount code to find the hstate corresponding to the
specified size, and sets up a pointer to the hstate in the mount's
superblock.
- Change the hstate accessors to use this information rather than the
global_hstate they were using (requires a slight change in mm/memory.c
so we don't NULL deref in the error-unmap path -- see comments).

Add basic support for more than one hstate in hugetlbfs. This is the key
to supporting multiple hugetlbfs page sizes at once.
- Rather than a single hstate, we now have an array, with an iterator
- default_hstate continues to be the struct hstate which we use by default
- Add functions for architectures to register new hstates

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

Christoph recently added /proc/vmallocinfo file to get information about
vmalloc allocations.
This patch adds NUMA specific information, giving number of pages
allocated on each memory node.
This should help to check that vmalloc() is able to respect NUMA policies.
Example of output on a four nodes machine (one cpu per node)
1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK) (Same
point for inodes and dentries hash tables)
2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node
(OK).
3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only.
4) each loaded module is using memory on one node.
Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary.

We have a request for tmpfs to support the AIO interface: easily done, no
more than replacing the old shmem_file_read by shmem_file_aio_read,
cribbed from generic_file_aio_read. (In 2.6.25 its write side was already
changed to use generic_file_aio_write.)
Incorporate cleanups from Andrew Morton and Harvey Harrison.
Tests out fine with LTP's ltp-aiodio.sh, given hacks (not included) to
support O_DIRECT. tmpfs cannot honestly support O_DIRECT: its
cache-avoiding-IO nature is at odds with direct IO-avoiding-cache.

As akpm points out, there's really no need for generic_file_aio_read to
make a special case of count 0: just loop through nr_segs doing nothing.
And as Harvey Harrison points out, there's no need to reset retval to 0
where it's already 0.
Setting count (or ocount) to 0 before calling generic_segment_checks is
unnecessary too; but reluctantly I'll leave that removal to someone with a
wider range of gcc versions to hand - 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 don't warn about it,
but perhaps others do - I forget which are the warniest versions.

When a hugetlb mapping with a reservation is split, a new VMA is cloned
from the original. This new VMA is a direct copy of the original
including the reservation count. When this pair of VMAs are unmapped we
will incorrect double account the unused reservation and the overall
reservation count will be incorrect, in extreme cases it will wrap.
The problem occurs when we split an existing VMA say to unmap a page in
the middle. split_vma() will create a new VMA copying all fields from the
original. As we are storing our reservation count in vm_private_data this
is also copies, endowing the new VMA with a duplicate of the original
VMA's reservation. Neither of the new VMAs can exhaust these reservations
as they are too small, but when we unmap and close these VMAs we will
incorrect credit the remainder twice and resv_huge_pages will become out
of sync. This can lead to allocation failures on mappings with
reservations and even to resv_huge_pages wrapping which prevents all
subsequent hugepage allocations.
The simple fix would be to correctly apportion the remaining reservation
count when the split is made. However the only hook we have vm_ops->open
only has the new VMA we do not know the identity of the preceeding VMA.
Also even if we did have that VMA to hand we do not know how much of the
reservation was consumed each side of the split.
This patch therefore takes a different tack. We know that the whole of
any private mapping (which has a reservation) has a reservation over its
whole size. Any present pages represent consumed reservation. Therefore
if we track the instantiated pages we can calculate the remaining
reservation.
This patch reuses the existing regions code to track the regions for which
we have consumed reservation (ie. the instantiated pages), as each page
is faulted in we record the consumption of reservation for the new page.
When we need to return unused reservations at unmap time we simply count
the consumed reservation region subtracting that from the whole of the
map. During a VMA split the newly opened VMA will point to the same
region map, as this map is offset oriented it remains valid for both of
the split VMAs. This map is referenced counted so that it is removed when
all VMAs which are part of the mmap are gone.

By default all shared mappings and most private mappings now have
reservations associated with them. This improves semantics by providing
allocation guarentees to the mapper. However a small number of
applications may attempt to make very large sparse mappings, with these
strict reservations the system will never be able to honour the mapping.
This patch set brings MAP_NORESERVE support to hugetlb files. This allows
new mappings to be made to hugetlbfs files without an associated
reservation, for both shared and private mappings. This allows
applications which want to create very sparse mappings to opt-out of the
reservation system. Obviously as there is no reservation they are liable
to fault at runtime if the huge page pool becomes exhausted; buyer beware.

With Mel's hugetlb private reservation support patches applied, strict
overcommit semantics are applied to both shared and private huge page
mappings. This can be a problem if an application relied on unlimited
overcommit semantics for private mappings. An example of this would be an
application which maps a huge area with the intention of using it very
sparsely. These application would benefit from being able to opt-out of
the strict overcommit. It should be noted that prior to hugetlb
supporting demand faulting all mappings were fully populated and so
applications of this type should be rare.
This patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page
mappings. This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings,
suppressing reservations for that mapping.
Thanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these
patches.
This patch:
When a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created
by default for any memory pages required. When the region is read/write
the reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for
read-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page). Reservations
are tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region
has reservation backing it. When we convert a region from read-only to
read-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set. However,
when a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable
from a normal mapping. When we then convert that to read/write we are
forced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of
the original MAP_NORESERVE.
This patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the
presence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag. This allows us to
distinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve.
As well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to
introduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available
consistantly for the life of the mapping. VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is
heavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.

mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed
After patch 2 in this series, a process that successfully calls mmap() for
a MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be guaranteed to successfully fault until a
process calls fork(). At that point, the next write fault from the parent
could fail due to COW if the child still has a reference.
We only reserve pages for the parent but a copy must be made to avoid
leaking data from the parent to the child after fork(). Reserves could be
taken for both parent and child at fork time to guarantee faults but if
the mapping is large it is highly likely we will not have sufficient pages
for the reservation, and it is common to fork only to exec() immediatly
after. A failure here would be very undesirable.
Note that the current behaviour of mainline with MAP_PRIVATE pages is
pretty bad. The following situation is allowed to occur today.
1. Process calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE)
2. Process calls mlock() to fault all pages and makes sure it succeeds
3. Process forks()
4. Process writes to MAP_PRIVATE mapping while child still exists
5. If the COW fails at this point, the process gets SIGKILLed even though it
had taken care to ensure the pages existed
This patch improves the situation by guaranteeing the reliability of the
process that successfully calls mmap(). When the parent performs COW, it
will try to satisfy the allocation without using reserves. If that fails
the parent will steal the page leaving any children without a page.
Faults from the child after that point will result in failure. If the
child COW happens first, an attempt will be made to allocate the page
without reserves and the child will get SIGKILLed on failure.
To summarise the new behaviour:
1. If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple
references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or
the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs
mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW'd is unmapped
where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in
the normal way.
2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages
with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will
terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted.
A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured.
2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW
from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if
overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If
it fails, the child will be killed.
If the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that
the reserves were a factor. Existing applications depending on the
no-reserves been set are unlikely to exist as for much of the history of
hugetlbfs, pages were prefaulted at mmap(), allocating the pages at that
point or failing the mmap().

until fork()
This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings. The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.
The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;
1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
and at fault time otherwise.
Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

This is a patchset to give reliable behaviour to a process that
successfully calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on a hugetlbfs file. Currently, it
is possible for the process to be killed due to a small hugepage pool size
even if it calls mlock().
MAP_SHARED mappings on hugetlbfs reserve huge pages at mmap() time. This
guarantees all future faults against the mapping will succeed. This
allows local allocations at first use improving NUMA locality whilst
retaining reliability.
MAP_PRIVATE mappings do not reserve pages. This can result in an
application being SIGKILLed later if a huge page is not available at fault
time. This makes huge pages usage very ill-advised in some cases as the
unexpected application failure cannot be detected and handled as it is
immediately fatal. Although an application may force instantiation of the
pages using mlock(), this may lead to poor memory placement and the
process may still be killed when performing COW.
This patchset introduces a reliability guarantee for the process which
creates a private mapping, i.e. the process that calls mmap() on a
hugetlbfs file successfully. The first patch of the set is purely
mechanical code move to make later diffs easier to read. The second patch
will guarantee faults up until the process calls fork(). After patch two,
as long as the child keeps the mappings, the parent is no longer
guaranteed to be reliable. Patch 3 guarantees that the parent will always
successfully COW by unmapping the pages from the child in the event there
are insufficient pages in the hugepage pool in allocate a new page, be it
via a static or dynamic pool.
Existing hugepage-aware applications are unlikely to be affected by this
change. For much of hugetlbfs's history, pages were pre-faulted at mmap()
time or mmap() failed which acts in a reserve-like manner. If the pool is
sized correctly already so that parent and child can fault reliably, the
application will not even notice the reserves. It's only when the pool is
too small for the application to function perfectly reliably that the
reserves come into play.
Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for cleaning up a number of mistakes during
review before the patches were released.
This patch:
A later patch in this set needs to call hugetlb_acct_memory() before it is
defined. This patch moves the function without modification. This makes
later diffs easier to read.
