mm/memory_failure: let the compiler add the function name

2012-05-29T23:22:18+00:00

These things tend to get out of sync with time so let the compiler
automatically enter the current function name using __func__.

No functional change.

thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU

2012-03-22T00:54:58+00:00

Andrea Arcangeli pointed out to me that a check in __memory_failure()
which was intended to prevent THP tail pages from being checked for the
absence of the PG_lru flag (something that is always the case), was also
preventing THP head pages from being checked.

A THP head page could actually benefit from the call to shake_page() by
ending up being put back to a LRU, provided it had been waiting in a
pagevec array.

Andrea suggested that the "!PageTransCompound(p)" in the if-statement
should be replaced by a "!PageTransTail(p)", thus allowing THP head pages
to be checked and possibly shaken.

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

2012-01-13T04:13:09+00:00

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

HWPOISON: Add code to handle "action required" errors.

2012-01-03T20:06:38+00:00

Add new flag bit "MF_ACTION_REQUIRED" to be used by machine check
code to force a signal with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR in the case
where the error occurs in processor execution context. Pass the
flags argument along call chain:
	memory_failure()
	  hwpoison_user_mappings()
	    kill_procs()
	      kill_proc()

Drop the "_ao" suffix from kill_procs_ao() and kill_proc_ao() since
they can now handle "action required" as well as "action optional" errors.

HWPOISON: Clean up memory_failure() vs. __memory_failure()

2012-01-03T20:06:32+00:00

There is only one caller of memory_failure(), all other users call
__memory_failure() and pass in the flags argument explicitly. The
lone user of memory_failure() will soon need to pass flags too.

Add flags argument to the callsite in mce.c. Delete the old memory_failure()
function, and then rename __memory_failure() without the leading "__".

Provide clearer message when action optional memory errors are ignored.

HWPOISON: convert pr_debug()s to pr_info()s

2011-11-01T00:30:49+00:00

Commit fb46e73520940b ("HWPOISON: Convert pr_debugs to pr_info) authored
by Andi Kleen converted a number of pr_debug()s to pr_info()s.

About the same time additional code with pr_debug()s was added by two
other commits 8c6c2ecb4466 ("HWPOSION, hugetlb: recover from free hugepage
error when !MF_COUNT_INCREASED") and d950b95882f3d ("HWPOISON, hugetlb:
soft offlining for hugepage").  And these pr_debug()s failed to get
converted to pr_info()s.

This patch converts them as well.  And does some minor related whitespace
cleanup.
