tile: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT

2016-06-25T00:23:52+00:00

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. pgtable_alloc_one uses __GFP_REPEAT flag for L2_USER_PGTABLE_ORDER but the order is either 0 or 3 if L2_KERNEL_PGTABLE_SHIFT for HPAGE_SHIFT. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

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: cleanup pte_alloc interfaces

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

There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up: - 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it; - most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(), before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does the check. The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd. - pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using pte_alloc().

tile: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting

We can disable debug_pagealloc processing even if the code is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This patch changes the code to query whether it is enabled or not in runtime.

arch/tile: move user_exit() to early kernel entry sequence

2016-01-18T19:49:30+00:00

This ensures that we always notify context tracking that we have exited from user space no matter how we enter the kernel. It is similar to how arm64 handles context tracking, for example. This allows the removal of all the exception_enter() calls that were added in commit 49e4e15619cd ("tile: support CONTEXT_TRACKING and thus NOHZ_FULL"). Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory"

2015-08-27T23:40:58+00:00

While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations. Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace unbinding the driver of the device. Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory. Device memory has different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM. However, since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA. Cc: H.
