arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

mm/alpha: unify mem_init() for both UMA and NUMA architectures

2013-07-03T23:07:39+00:00

Now mem_init() for both Alpha UMA and Alpha NUMA are the same, so unify it
to reduce duplicated code.

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33+00:00

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it.  With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().

With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

2013-07-03T23:07:32+00:00

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
   pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
   on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
   by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

alpha/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to do_page_fault

2012-08-19T15:41:19+00:00

Commit d065bd810b6d ("mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk
transfer") and 37b23e0525d3 ("x86,mm: make pagefault killable")
introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler for making the page
fault handler retryable as well as killable.

These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial during OOM
killer invocation.

Port these changes to ALPHA.

alpha, mm: set all online nodes in N_NORMAL_MEMORY

2011-05-25T15:39:23+00:00

For alpha, N_NORMAL_MEMORY represents all nodes that have present memory
since it does not support HIGHMEM.  This patch sets the bit at the time
the node is initialized.

If N_NORMAL_MEMORY is not accurate, slub may encounter errors since it
uses this nodemask to setup per-cache kmem_cache_node data structures.
