2012-01-12radix_tree: take radix_tree_path off stackHugh Dickins
Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_ swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache(). You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case it needs to ascend to update them). And if any tag is still set [1], that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such 192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack. (At least we have interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.) That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated it unnecessarily. But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly. So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path. There would be space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that. Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending, adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node again. perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2% slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster. Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3, but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster. [1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is well-behaved. But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

2011-10-31radix_tree: clean away saw_unset_tag leftoversHugh Dickins
radix_tree_tag_get()'s BUG (when it sees a tag after saw_unset_tag) was unsafe and removed in 2.6.34, but the pointless saw_unset_tag left behind. Remove it now, and return 0 as soon as we see unset tag - we already rely upon the root tag to be correct, returning 0 immediately if it's not set.

2011-08-03tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoffHugh Dickins
We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster. But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down my testing. Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly. I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time, but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive. The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on). So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off, single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly, #include sched.h for cond_resched().

2011-08-03radix_tree: exceptional entries and indicesHugh Dickins
A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and simplifying its code and locking. This patch: The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes. A major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for memory management. But what if mm wanted to store something other than page pointers there too? The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry() case. Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second case. If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree. The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g. by the page->index of a struct page. But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to be stored there. radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument, output array in which to return those offsets. The same could be added to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one for which we need it.

Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be changed into the bigger one. (So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.) radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot(): 1178 while (ret < max_items) { 1179 unsigned int slots_found; 1180 unsigned long next_index; /* Index of next search */ 1181 1182 if (cur_index > max_index) 1183 break; 1184 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret, 1185 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index, tag); 1186 ret += slots_found; // cannot update ret because slots_found == 0. // so, this while loops forever. 1187 if (next_index == 0) 1188 break; 1189 cur_index = next_index; 1190 } (2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index? Assuming the following: - the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL. - the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other. - In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0. a) __lookup_tag() notices that the tag is set. 1005 static unsigned int 1006 __lookup_tag(struct radix_tree_node *slot, void ***results, unsigned long index, 1007 unsigned int max_items, unsigned long *next_index, unsigned int tag) 1008 { 1009 unsigned int nr_found = 0; 1010 unsigned int shift, height; 1011 1012 height = slot->height; 1013 if (height == 0) 1014 goto out; 1015 shift = (height-1) * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT; 1016 1017 while (height > 0) { 1018 unsigned long i = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK ; 1019 1020 for (;;) { 1021 if (tag_get(slot, tag, i)) 1022 break; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * the index is not updated yet. b) __lookup_tag() notices that the slot is NULL. 1023 index &= ~((1UL << shift) - 1); 1024 index += 1UL << shift; 1025 if (index == 0) 1026 goto out; /* 32-bit wraparound */ 1027 i++; 1028 if (i == RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE) 1029 goto out; 1030 } 1031 height--; 1032 if (height == 0) { /* Bottom level: grab some items */ ... 1055 } 1056 shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT; 1057 slot = rcu_dereference_raw(slot->slots[i]); 1058 if (slot == NULL) 1059 break; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ c) __lookup_tag() doesn't update the index and return with 0. 1060 } 1061 out: 1062 *next_index = index; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1063 return nr_found; 1064 } (3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set? Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY, even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course, some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range.

2010-11-12radix-tree: fix RCU bugNick Piggin
Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug: In the following case, we get can get a deadlock: 0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0. 1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock. 2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item. 3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for deletion after the readers finish. 3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in the rcu-delayed indirect node. 4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref count 5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop. The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

2010-08-23radix-tree: radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() can set incorrect tagsDave Chinner
Commit ebf8aa44beed48cd17893a83d92a4403e5f9d9e2 ("radix-tree: omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the range it is searching. Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with the tag we are searching for set. As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or livelock because the lookup cannot make progress. The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in this manner. This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging").

2010-08-23radix-tree: clear all tags in radix_tree_node_rcu_freeDave Chinner
Commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to 3. It did not, however, fix up the code in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink() and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array. The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups, resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree. Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink() leaves behind.

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set() or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in radix_tree_tag_get(): if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset)) saw_unset_tag = 1; if (height == 1) { int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset); may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly. The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any functions reading the tree". The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the tag doesn't vary over time: BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag); This has been seen happening in FS-Cache: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held, and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from running concurrently with it.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-11-19FS-Cache: Use radix tree preload correctly in tracking of pages to be storedDavid Howells
__fscache_write_page() attempts to load the radix tree preallocation pool for the CPU it is on before calling radix_tree_insert(), as the insertion must be done inside a pair of spinlocks. Use of the preallocation pool, however, is contingent on the radix tree being initialised without __GFP_WAIT specified. __fscache_acquire_cookie() was passing GFP_NOFS to INIT_RADIX_TREE() - but that includes __GFP_WAIT. The solution is to AND out __GFP_WAIT. Additionally, the banner comment to radix_tree_preload() is altered to make note of this prerequisite. Possibly there should be a WARN_ON() too. Without this fix, I have seen the following recursive deadlock caused by radix_tree_insert() attempting to allocate memory inside the spinlocked region, which resulted in FS-Cache being called back into to release memory - which required the spinlock already held. ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.32-rc6-cachefs #24 --------------------------------------------- nfsiod/7916 is trying to acquire lock: (&cookie->lock){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffffa0076872>] __fscache_uncache_page+0xdb/0x160 [fscache] but task is already holding lock: (&cookie->lock){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffffa0076acc>] __fscache_write_page+0x15c/0x3f3 [fscache] other info that might help us debug this: 5 locks held by nfsiod/7916: #0: (nfsiod){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81048290>] worker_thread+0x19a/0x2e2 #1: (&task->u.tk_work#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81048290>] worker_thread+0x19a/0x2e2 #2: (&cookie->lock){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffffa0076acc>] __fscache_write_page+0x15c/0x3f3 [fscache] #3: (&object->lock#2){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffffa0076b07>] __fscache_write_page+0x197/0x3f3 [fscache] #4: (&cookie->stores_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffffa0076b0f>] __fscache_write_page+0x19f/0x3f3 [fscache] stack backtrace: Pid: 7916, comm: nfsiod Not tainted 2.6.32-rc6-cachefs #24 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8105ac7f>] __lock_acquire+0x1649/0x16e3 [<ffffffff81059ded>] ? __lock_acquire+0x7b7/0x16e3 [<ffffffff8100e27d>] ? dump_trace+0x248/0x257 [<ffffffff8105ad70>] lock_acquire+0x57/0x6d [<ffffffffa0076872>] ? __fscache_uncache_page+0xdb/0x160 [fscache] [<ffffffff8135467c>] _spin_lock+0x2c/0x3b [<ffffffffa0076872>] ? __fscache_uncache_page+0xdb/0x160 [fscache] [<ffffffffa0076872>] __fscache_uncache_page+0xdb/0x160 [fscache] [<ffffffffa0077eb7>] ? __fscache_check_page_write+0x0/0x71 [fscache] [<ffffffffa00b4755>] nfs_fscache_release_page+0x86/0xc4 [nfs] [<ffffffffa00907f0>] nfs_release_page+0x3c/0x41 [nfs] [<ffffffff81087ffb>] try_to_release_page+0x32/0x3b [<ffffffff81092c2b>] shrink_page_list+0x316/0x4ac [<ffffffff81058a9b>] ? mark_held_locks+0x52/0x70 [<ffffffff8135451b>] ? _spin_unlock_irq+0x2b/0x31 [<ffffffff81093153>] shrink_inactive_list+0x392/0x67c [<ffffffff81058a9b>] ? mark_held_locks+0x52/0x70 [<ffffffff810934ca>] shrink_list+0x8d/0x8f [<ffffffff81093744>] shrink_zone+0x278/0x33c [<ffffffff81052c70>] ? ktime_get_ts+0xad/0xba [<ffffffff8109453b>] try_to_free_pages+0x22e/0x392 [<ffffffff8109184c>] ? isolate_pages_global+0x0/0x212 [<ffffffff8108e16b>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3dc/0x5cf [<ffffffff810ae24a>] cache_alloc_refill+0x34d/0x6c1 [<ffffffff811bcf74>] ? radix_tree_node_alloc+0x52/0x5c [<ffffffff810ae929>] kmem_cache_alloc+0xb2/0x118 [<ffffffff811bcf74>] radix_tree_node_alloc+0x52/0x5c [<ffffffff811bcfd5>] radix_tree_insert+0x57/0x19c [<ffffffffa0076b53>] __fscache_write_page+0x1e3/0x3f3 [fscache] [<ffffffffa00b4248>] __nfs_readpage_to_fscache+0x58/0x11e [nfs] [<ffffffffa009bb77>] nfs_readpage_release+0x34/0x9b [nfs] [<ffffffffa009c0d9>] nfs_readpage_release_full+0x32/0x4b [nfs] [<ffffffffa0006cff>] rpc_release_calldata+0x12/0x14 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa0006e2d>] rpc_free_task+0x59/0x61 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa0006f03>] rpc_async_release+0x10/0x12 [sunrpc] [<ffffffff810482e5>] worker_thread+0x1ef/0x2e2 [<ffffffff81048290>] ? worker_thread+0x19a/0x2e2 [<ffffffff81352433>] ? thread_return+0x3e/0x101 [<ffffffffa0006ef3>] ? rpc_async_release+0x0/0x12 [sunrpc] [<ffffffff8104bff5>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x34 [<ffffffff81058d25>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0xf [<ffffffff810480f6>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x2e2 [<ffffffff8104bd21>] kthread+0x7a/0x82 [<ffffffff8100beda>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8100b87c>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff8104c2b9>] ? add_wait_queue+0x15/0x44 [<ffffffff8104bca7>] ? kthread+0x0/0x82 [<ffffffff8100bed0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2008-06-12radix-tree: fix small lockless radix-tree bugNick Piggin
We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left most slot. The child becomes the new root node. To perform this operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child. However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the parent (and is presently deciding what to do next). For this reason, we also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the parent pointer may not do the right thing. Notably, we need to keep the child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup. This is all pretty standard RCU stuff. It is worth repeating because in my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period. What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent node before waiting for a grace period. The lookup would return a false negative as a result. Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback. I would normally want to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon after allocation). This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite. I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll keep working at it. Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not have concurrent lookups and deletes).

2008-04-28Remove set_migrateflags()Christoph Lameter
Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was active when a new slab page was allocated. This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it. The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any effect there. Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree slabs will also be accounted as such. There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

2008-02-05radix-tree: avoid atomic allocations for preloaded insertionsNick Piggin
Most pagecache (and some other) radix tree insertions have the great opportunity to preallocate a few nodes with relaxed gfp flags. But the preallocation is squandered when it comes time to allocate a node, we default to first attempting a GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- that doesn't normally fail, but it can eat into atomic memory reserves that we don't need to be using. Another upshot of this is that it removes the sometimes highly contended zone->lock from underneath tree_lock. Pagecache insertions are always performed with a radix tree preload, and after this change, such a situation will never fall back to kmem_cache_alloc within radix_tree_node_alloc. David Miller reports seeing this allocation fail on a highly threaded sparc64 system: [527319.459981] dd: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20 [527319.460403] Call Trace: [527319.460568] [00000000004b71e0] __slab_alloc+0x1b0/0x6a8 [527319.460636] [00000000004b7bbc] kmem_cache_alloc+0x4c/0xa8 [527319.460698] [000000000055309c] radix_tree_node_alloc+0x20/0x90 [527319.460763] [0000000000553238] radix_tree_insert+0x12c/0x260 [527319.460830] [0000000000495cd0] add_to_page_cache+0x38/0xb0 [527319.460893] [00000000004e4794] mpage_readpages+0x6c/0x134 [527319.460955] [000000000049c7fc] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x170/0x280 [527319.461028] [000000000049cc88] ondemand_readahead+0x208/0x214 [527319.461094] [0000000000496018] do_generic_mapping_read+0xe8/0x428 [527319.461152] [0000000000497948] generic_file_aio_read+0x108/0x170 [527319.461217] [00000000004badac] do_sync_read+0x88/0xd0 [527319.461292] [00000000004bb5cc] vfs_read+0x78/0x10c [527319.461361] [00000000004bb920] sys_read+0x34/0x60 [527319.461424] [0000000000406294] linux_sparc_syscall32+0x3c/0x40 The calltrace is significant: __do_page_cache_readahead allocates a number of pages with GFP_KERNEL, and hence it should have reclaimed sufficient memory to satisfy GFP_ATOMIC allocations. However after the list of pages goes to mpage_readpages, there can be significant intervals (including disk IO) before all the pages are inserted into the radix-tree. So the reserves can easily be depleted at that point. The patch is confirmed to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: "David S.

2007-10-17avoid negative (and full-width) shifts in radix-tree.cPeter Lund
Negative shifts are not allowed in C (the result is undefined). Same thing with full-width shifts. It works on most platforms but not on the VAX with gcc 4.0.1 (it results in an "operand reserved" fault). Shifting by more than the width of the value on the left is also not allowed. I think the extra '>> 1' tacked on at the end in the original code was an attempt to work around that. Getting rid of that is an extra feature of this patch. Here's the chapter and verse, taken from the final draft of the C99 standard ("6.5.7 Bitwise shift operators", paragraph 3): "The integer promotions are performed on each of the operands. The type of the result is that of the promoted left operand. If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is undefined." Thank you to Jan-Benedict Glaw, Christoph Hellwig, Maciej Rozycki, Pekka Enberg, Andreas Schwab, and Christoph Lameter for review.

Convert ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags) to ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object) throughout the kernel [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coupla fixes] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-10-16Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocationsMel Gorman
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.

2007-10-16fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.cJeff Moyer
A while back, Nick Piggin introduced a patch to reduce the node memory usage for small files (commit cfd9b7df4abd3257c9e381b0e445817b26a51c0c): -#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT 6 +#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6) Unfortunately, he didn't take into account the fact that the calculation of the maximum path was based on an assumption of having to round up: #define RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH (RADIX_TREE_INDEX_BITS/RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT + 2) So, if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is set, you will end up with a RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH that is one greater than necessary. The practical upshot of this is just a bit of wasted memory (one long in the height_to_maxindex array, an extra pre-allocated radix tree node per cpu, and extra stack usage in a couple of functions), but it seems worth getting right. It's also worth noting that I never build with CONFIG_BASE_SMALL. What I did to test this was duplicate the code in a small user-space program and check the results of the calculations for max path and the contents of the height_to_maxindex array.

2007-10-16radix-tree: use indirect bitNick Piggin
Rather than sign direct radix-tree pointers with a special bit, sign the indirect one that hangs off the root. This means that, given a lookup_slot operation, the invalid result will be differentiated from the valid (previously, valid results could have the bit either set or clear). This does not affect slot lookups which occur under lock -- they can never return an invalid result. Is needed in future for lockless pagecache.

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2006-12-07[PATCH] radix-tree: RCU lockless readsideNick Piggin
Make radix tree lookups safe to be performed without locks. Readers are protected against nodes being deleted by using RCU based freeing. Readers are protected against new node insertion by using memory barriers to ensure the node itself will be properly written before it is visible in the radix tree. Each radix tree node keeps a record of their height (above leaf nodes). This height does not change after insertion -- when the radix tree is extended, higher nodes are only inserted in the top. So a lookup can take the pointer to what is *now* the root node, and traverse down it even if the tree is concurrently extended and this node becomes a subtree of a new root. "Direct" pointers (tree height of 0, where root->rnode points directly to the data item) are handled by using the low bit of the pointer to signal whether rnode is a direct pointer or a pointer to a radix tree node. When a reader wants to traverse the next branch, they will take a copy of the pointer. This pointer will be either NULL (and the branch is empty) or non-NULL (and will point to a valid node).

The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it should also be a BUG. Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree): radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1); to fail silently, but when preceded by: radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item); it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert.

2006-06-23[PATCH] radix-tree: direct dataNick Piggin
The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd. On 64-bit machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in pagecache. Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits. Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions (the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache savings will mean it's actually a speedup). On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in pagecache. Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be improved. This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-02-16[PATCH] Fix over-zealous tag clearing in radix_tree_deleteNeilBrown
If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some siblings of the node begin deleted. This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that 'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags' array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and possibly above.
