mm: tighten fault_in_pages_writeable()

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

copy_page_to_iter_iovec() is currently the only user of
fault_in_pages_writeable(), and it definitely can use fragments from
high order pages.

Make sure fault_in_pages_writeable() is only touching two adjacent pages
at most, as claimed.

mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount

2016-05-20T02:12:14+00:00

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
struct page is _count and atomic type.  They would try to handle it
directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
tracepoint.  To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
to _refcount and add warning message on the code.  After that, developer
who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
accessed directly.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08+00:00

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 -  << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 -  >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

Now that migration doesn't clear page->mem_cgroup of live pages anymore,
it's safe to make lock_page_memcg() and the memcg stat functions take
pages, and spare the callers from memcg objects.

mm: add find_get_entries_tag()

2016-01-23T01:02:18+00:00

Add find_get_entries_tag() to the family of functions that include
find_get_entries(), find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_tag().  This is
needed for DAX dirty page handling because we need a list of both page
offsets and radix tree entries ('indices' and 'entries' in this
function) that are marked with the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE tag.

thp: reintroduce split_huge_page()

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

This patch adds implementation of split_huge_page() for new
refcountings.

Unlike previous implementation, new split_huge_page() can fail if
somebody holds GUP pin on the page.  It also means that pin on page
would prevent it from bening split under you.  It makes situation in
many places much cleaner.

The basic scheme of split_huge_page():

  - Check that sum of mapcounts of all subpage is equal to page_count()
    plus one (caller pin). Foll off with -EBUSY. This way we can avoid
    useless PMD-splits.

  - Freeze the page counters by splitting all PMD and setup migration
    PTEs.

  - Re-check sum of mapcounts against page_count(). Page's counts are
    stable now. -EBUSY if page is pinned.

  - Split compound page.

  - Unfreeze the page by removing migration entries.

page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page.  It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page.  Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.

This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked().  They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG.  Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().

SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked.  IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there.  VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.
