mm/hugetlb: check for pte NULL pointer in __page_check_address()

2013-12-19T03:04:52+00:00

In __page_check_address(), if address's pud is not present,
huge_pte_offset() will return NULL, we should check the return value.

mm, hugetlb: convert hugetlbfs to use split pmd lock

2013-11-15T00:32:14+00:00

Hugetlb supports multiple page sizes. We use split lock only for PMD
level, but not for PUD.

mm, thp: move ptl taking inside page_check_address_pmd()

2013-11-15T00:32:14+00:00

With split page table lock we can't know which lock we need to take
before we find the relevant pmd.

Let's move lock taking inside the function.

thp: account anon transparent huge pages into NR_ANON_PAGES

2013-09-12T22:38:03+00:00

We use NR_ANON_PAGES as base for reporting AnonPages to user.  There's
not much sense in not accounting transparent huge pages there, but add
them on printing to user.

Let's account transparent huge pages in NR_ANON_PAGES in the first place.

memcg: remove MEMCG_NR_FILE_MAPPED

2013-09-12T22:38:02+00:00

While accounting memcg page stat, it's not worth to use
MEMCG_NR_FILE_MAPPED as an extra layer of indirection because of the
complexity and presumed performance overhead.  We can use
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_FILE_MAPPED directly.

s390/mm: implement software referenced bits

2013-08-29T11:20:11+00:00

The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture
is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries
invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the
pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights
allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software
managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand
the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are
quite expensive as well.

mm: save soft-dirty bits on file pages

2013-08-14T00:57:48+00:00

Andy reported that if file page get reclaimed we lose the soft-dirty bit
if it was there, so save _PAGE_BIT_SOFT_DIRTY bit when page address get
encoded into pte entry.  Thus when #pf happens on such non-present pte
we can restore it back.

mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pages

2013-08-14T00:57:47+00:00

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.

To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out.  When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.

One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap.  The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

mm: remove unused VM_ macros and expand other in-place

2013-07-09T17:33:23+00:00

These VM_ macros aren't used very often and three of them
aren't used at all.

Expand the ones that are used in-place, and remove all the now unused
#define VM_ macros.

VM_READHINTMASK, VM_NormalReadHint and VM_ClearReadHint were added just
before 2.4 and appears have never been used.

mm: remove lru parameter from __lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru

2013-07-03T23:07:31+00:00

Similar to __pagevec_lru_add, this patch removes the LRU parameter from
__lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru as the caller does not control the
exact LRU the page gets added to.  lru_cache_add_lru gets renamed to
lru_cache_add the name is silly without the lru parameter.  With the
parameter removed, it is required that the caller indicate if they want
the page added to the active or inactive list by setting or clearing
PageActive respectively.
