usemap must be initialized only when pfn is within zone. If not, it corrupts
memory.
And this patch also reduces the number of calls to set_pageblock_migratetype()
from
(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages -1)
to
!(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages-1)
it should be called once per pageblock.

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
Freeing usemap is not necessary. The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.
If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be
disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is.

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.
A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

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.

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.

On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and
foreign. It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.
When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no
longer the case.
This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first
zone in the zonelist is it. This simplifies the reading of later patches in
this set.

Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the
appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a
cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If
necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.

The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists
that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with
regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the
MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is
ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the
MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters
only custom zonelists.
The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses
zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist.
The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up
the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the
set.
The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as
it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist.
The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are
filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset
introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE.
The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node
indices of entries in a zonelist.
The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask.
Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for
__GFP_THISNODE.
Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real
workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the
benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing
of zonelists.
These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against
2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and
ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA.

This patch:
The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct
reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This
simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad
page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it
were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused.
Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to
memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone
doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the
kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.
Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on X86_64
ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
So X86_64_ACPI_NUMA implies SPARSEMEM, right?
So we can mark the stack of functions __init for !SPARSEMEM, but we must mark
them __meminit for SPARSEMEM configurations. This is ok, because then the
calls to alloc_bootmem_node are also avoided.

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.
Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.
Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

We have repeatedly discussed if the cold pages still have a point. There is
one way to join the two lists: Use a single list and put the cold pages at the
end and the hot pages at the beginning. That way a single list can serve for
both types of allocations.
The discussion of the RFC for this and Mel's measurements indicate that
there may not be too much of a point left to having separate lists for
hot and cold pages (see http://marc.info/?t=119492914200001&r=1&w=2).

- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.
- Eliminate useless functions
- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
all pages not only those of the local processor.
- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
disable interrupts.
- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c
- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
then we can make drain_pages() static.

In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are
adjacent in physical memory. This was achieved in the allocator by having
expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a
large buddy was split. However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the
order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a
page of the appropriate migrate type.
This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical
order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search
costs for anti-fragmentation.

Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the
hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on
what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that
do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order
being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards.
This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by
default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT
is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1
is used.
This is a fix for 2.6.24.
Credit goes to Stephen Rothwell for identifying the bug and testing candidate
patches. Additional credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for spotting a problem
with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson
for testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite.

2.6.11 gave __GFP_ZERO's prep_zero_page a bogus "highmem may have to wait"
assertion. Presumably added under the misconception that clear_highpage
uses nonatomic kmap; but then and now it uses kmap_atomic, so no problem.

A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted
before invoking out_of_memory(). OOM killer serialization needs to occur
before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in
its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM
condition has already been alleviated.
If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and
__alloc_pages() returns the page. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.
If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put
to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled. One of its
zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be
getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark
allocation attempt. This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM
condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given
enough time.

Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long
flags. This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as
all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and
converted to a per-zone flag.
Flags are set and cleared as follows:
zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED,
which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and
zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively. Also converts all current users that
set or clear either flag to use the new interface.
Helper functions are defined to test the flags:
int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone)
int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone)
All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently
readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

by this, all free pages in the range will be not-for-use.
- Migrate all LRU pages in the range.
- Test all pages in the range's refcnt is zero or not.
Todo:
- allocate migration destination page from better area.
- confirm page_count(page)== 0 && PageReserved(page) page is safe to be freed..
(I don't like this kind of page but..
- Find out pages which cannot be migrated.
- more running tests.

Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops.
This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this
- MIGRATE_TYPES increases.
- bitmap for migratetype is enlarged.
pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free.
By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not
a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages.
If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called,
- migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if
its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other
memory reclaiming works make progress.
- MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list.
- All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated.
To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(),
To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range().

/proc/pagetypeinfo
This patch provides fragmentation avoidance statistics via /proc/pagetypeinfo.
The information is collected only on request so there is no runtime overhead.
The statistics are in three parts:
The first part prints information on the size of blocks that pages are
being grouped on and looks like
Page block order: 10
Pages per block: 1024
The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like
Free pages count per migrate type at order 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Node 0, zone DMA, type Unmovable 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Node 0, zone DMA, type Reclaimable 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Node 0, zone DMA, type Movable 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Node 0, zone DMA, type Reserve 0 4 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0
Node 0, zone Normal, type Unmovable 111 8 4 4 2 3 1 0 0 0 0
Node 0, zone Normal, type Reclaimable 293 89 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 1 6 13 9 7 6 3 0 0 0 0
Node 0, zone Normal, type Reserve 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4
The third part looks like
Number of blocks type Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserve
Node 0, zone DMA 0 1 2 1
Node 0, zone Normal 3 17 94 4
To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node()
is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and
/proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication. It seems specific to what
vmstat.c requires but could be broken out as a general utility function in
mmzone.c if there were other other potential users.

Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes
sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size.
However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime
configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and
occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.
This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It
uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page
size is runtime configurable.
It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and
that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true,
page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time
kernel parameter.
One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with
early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory
allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In
tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using
early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter
is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

move_freepages_block() returns the number of blocks moved. This value is used
to determine if a block of pages should be stolen for the exclusive use of a
migrate type or not. However, the value returned is being used correctly.
This patch fixes the calculation to return the number of base pages that have
been moved.
This should be considered a fix to the patch

Grouping high-order atomic allocations together was intended to allow
bursty users of atomic allocations to work such as e1000 in situations
where their preallocated buffers were depleted. This did not work in at
least one case with a wireless network adapter needing order-1 allocations
frequently. To resolve that, the free pages used for min_free_kbytes were
moved to separate contiguous blocks with the patch
bias-the-location-of-pages-freed-for-min_free_kbytes-in-the-same-max_order_nr_pages-blocks.
It is felt that keeping the free pages in the same contiguous blocks should
be sufficient for bursty short-lived high-order atomic allocations to
succeed, maybe even with the e1000. Even if there is a failure, increasing
the value of min_free_kbytes will free pages as contiguous bloks in
contrast to the standard buddy allocator which makes no attempt to keep the
minimum number of free pages contiguous.
This patch backs out grouping high order atomic allocations together to
determine if it is really needed or not. If a new report comes in about
high-order atomic allocations failing, the feature can be reintroduced to
determine if it fixes the problem or not. As a side-effect, this patch
reduces by 1 the number of bits required to track the mobility type of
pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block.

MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks
The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages.
The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends
to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very
long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the
reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks
that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to
succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is
difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of
having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally,
increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time
has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks.
On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large
blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A
side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and
the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the
vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling
to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough.
A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating
order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent
enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC.
This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the
driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a
debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2.
This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with
mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These
blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the
smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead
of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free
lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The
results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous
blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks.
This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is
increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of
reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the
vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as
contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly.
This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set
initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within
MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a
period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing.
How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating.
Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster.
This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more
effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on
whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds
min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds
min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes
should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation
failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and
see if the reports stay missing.
Credit to Mariusz Kozlowski for discovering the problem, describing the
failure scenario and testing patches and scenarios.

Grouping pages by mobility can only successfully operate when there are more
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES areas than mobility types. When there are insufficient
areas, fallbacks cannot be avoided. This has noticeable performance impacts
on machines with small amounts of memory in comparison to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.
For example, on IA64 with a configuration including huge pages spans 1GiB with
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES so would need at least 4GiB of RAM before grouping pages by
mobility would be useful. In comparison, an x86 would need 16MB.
This patch checks the size of vm_total_pages in build_all_zonelists(). If
there are not enough areas, mobility is effectivly disabled by considering
all allocations as the same type (UNMOVABLE). This is achived via a
__read_mostly flag.
With this patch, performance is comparable to disabling grouping pages
by mobility at compile-time on a test machine with insufficient memory.
With this patch, it is reasonable to get rid of grouping pages by mobility
a compile-time option.

In rare cases, the kernel needs to allocate a high-order block of pages
without sleeping. For example, this is the case with e1000 cards configured
to use jumbo frames. Migrating or reclaiming pages in this situation is not
an option.
This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a
new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC type are exactly what they sound
like. Care is taken that pages of other migrate types do not use the same
blocks as high-order atomic allocations.

This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as
network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something
like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to
be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation.
This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a
new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be
reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting
them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.
