[PATCH] Sparsemem build fix

2006-06-05T19:29:16+00:00

From: Ralf Baechle 

 uses PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SHIFT from  without
including that header itself.  For some sparsemem configurations this may
result in build errors like:

[PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary

2006-05-21T19:59:22+00:00

Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER.  An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned.  Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints.  page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone).  Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.

SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured.  ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently.  This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

[PATCH] uninline zone helpers

2006-03-27T16:44:48+00:00

Helper functions for for_each_online_pgdat/for_each_zone look too big to be
inlined.  Speed of these helper macro itself is not very important.  (inner
loops are tend to do more work than this)

This patch make helper function to be out-of-lined.

	inline		out-of-line
.text   005c0680        005bf6a0

005c0680 - 005bf6a0 = FE0 = 4Kbytes.

[PATCH] define for_each_online_pgdat

2006-03-27T16:44:47+00:00

This patch defines for_each_online_pgdat() as a replacement of
for_each_pgdat()

Now, online nodes are managed by node_online_map.  But for_each_pgdat()
uses pgdat_link to iterate over all nodes(pgdat).  This means management
structure for online pgdat is duplicated.

I think using node_online_map for for_each_pgdat() is simple and sane
rather ather than pgdat_link.  New macro is named as
for_each_online_pgdat().  Following patch will fix callers of
for_each_pgdat().

The bootmem allocater uses for_each_pgdat() before pgdat initialization.  I
don't think it's sane.  Following patch will fix it.

[PATCH] remove zone_mem_map

2006-03-27T16:44:47+00:00

This patch removes zone_mem_map.

pfn_to_page uses pgdat, page_to_pfn uses zone.  page_to_pfn can use pgdat
instead of zone, which is only one user of zone_mem_map.  By modifing it,
we can remove zone_mem_map.

[PATCH] unify pfn_to_page: generic functions

2006-03-27T16:44:44+00:00

There are 3 memory models, FLATMEM, DISCONTIGMEM, SPARSEMEM.
Each arch has its own page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() for each models.
But most of them can use the same arithmetic.

This patch adds asm-generic/memory_model.h, which includes generic
page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() definitions for each memory model.

When CONFIG_OUT_OF_LINE_PFN_TO_PAGE=y, out-of-line functions are
used instead of macro. This is enabled by some archs and  reduces
text size.

[PATCH] GFP_ZONETYPES: calculate from GFP_ZONEMASK

2006-02-01T16:53:15+00:00

GFP_ZONETYPES calculate from GFP_ZONEMASK

GFP_ZONETYPES's value is directly related to the value of GFP_ZONEMASK.  It
takes one of two forms depending whether the top bit of GFP_ZONEMASK is a
'loner'.  Supply both forms, enabling the loner.

[PATCH] Zone reclaim: Reclaim logic

2006-01-19T03:20:17+00:00

Some bits for zone reclaim exists in 2.6.15 but they are not usable.  This
patch fixes them up, removes unused code and makes zone reclaim usable.

Zone reclaim allows the reclaiming of pages from a zone if the number of
free pages falls below the watermarks even if other zones still have enough
pages available.  Zone reclaim is of particular importance for NUMA
machines.  It can be more beneficial to reclaim a page than taking the
performance penalties that come with allocating a page on a remote zone.

Zone reclaim is enabled if the maximum distance to another node is higher
than RECLAIM_DISTANCE, which may be defined by an arch.  By default
RECLAIM_DISTANCE is 20.  20 is the distance to another node in the same
component (enclosure or motherboard) on IA64.  The meaning of the NUMA
distance information seems to vary by arch.

If zone reclaim is not successful then no further reclaim attempts will
occur for a certain time period (ZONE_RECLAIM_INTERVAL).

This patch was discussed before. See
