include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page
While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just
after swap-out started.
The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail
of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is
acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and
makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started.
Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable
pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time.
I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and
pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory
intensive load.
The test result is:

--- testmachine ping statistics ---

17.314/0.091 ms
Max round-trip-time was improved.
The test machine spec is that 4CPU(3.16GHz, Hyper-threading enabled)
8GB memory , 8GB swap.
I did ping test again to observe performance deterioration caused by taking
a ref.

Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.
Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.
Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.
Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.
The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.
To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page
While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just
after swap-out started.
The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail
of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is
acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and
makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started.
Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable
pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time.
I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and
pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory
intensive load.
The test result is:

The test machine spec is that 4CPU(3.16GHz, Hyper-threading enabled)

Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.
Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.
Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.
Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.
The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.
To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page
While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just
after swap-out started.
The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail
of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is
acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and
makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started.
Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable
pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time.
I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and
pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory
intensive load.
The test result is:

The test machine spec is that 4CPU(3.16GHz, Hyper-threading enabled)

a ref.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page
While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just
after swap-out started.
The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail
of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is
acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and
makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started.
Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable
pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time.
I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and
pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory
intensive load.
The test result is:

Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.
Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.
Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.
Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.
The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.
To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page
While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just
after swap-out started.
The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail
of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is
acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and
makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started.
Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable
pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time.
I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and
pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory
intensive load.
The test result is:

Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.
Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.
Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.
Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.
The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.
To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.
