Rafael J. Wysocki 3a291a20bd [PATCH] mm: add a new function (needed for swap suspend)
This adds the function get_swap_page_of_type() allowing us to specify an index
in swap_info[] and select a swap_info_struct structure to be used for
allocating a swap page.

This function (or another one of similar functionality) will be necessary for
implementing the image-writing part of swsusp in the user space.   It can also
be used for simplifying the current in-kernel implementation of the
image-writing part of swsusp.

Hugh Dickins 4c21e2f244 [PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Hugh Dickins 705e87c0c3 [PATCH] mm: pte_offset_map_lock loops
Convert those common loops using page_table_lock on the outside and
pte_offset_map within to use just pte_offset_map_lock within instead.

These all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a
page table be whipped away from beneath them.  But whereas pte_alloc loops
tested with the "atomic" pmd_present, these loops are testing with pmd_none,
which on i386 PAE tests both lower and upper halves.

That's now unsafe, so add a cast into pmd_none to test only the vital lower
half: we lose a little sensitivity to a corrupt middle directory, but not
enough to worry about.  It appears that i386 and UML were the only
architectures vulnerable in this way, and pgd and pud no problem.

Hugh Dickins 4294621f41 [PATCH] mm: rss = file_rss + anon_rss
I was lazy when we added anon_rss, and chose to change as few places as
possible.  So currently each anonymous page has to be counted twice, in rss
and in anon_rss.  Which won't be so good if those are atomic counts in some
configurations.

Change that around: keep file_rss and anon_rss separately, and add them
together (with get_mm_rss macro) when the total is needed - reading two
atomics is much cheaper than updating two atomics.  And update anon_rss
upfront, typically in memory.c, not tucked away in page_add_anon_rmap.

Rob Landley f7b3a4359b [PATCH] Fix bd_claim() error code.
Problem: In some circumstances, bd_claim() is returning the wrong error
code.

If we try to swapon an unused block device that isn't swap formatted, we
get -EINVAL.  But if that same block device is already mounted, we instead
get -EBUSY, even though it still isn't a valid swap device.

This issue came up on the busybox list trying to get the error message
from "swapon -a" right.  If a swap device is already enabled, we get -EBUSY,
and we shouldn't report this as an error.  But we can't distinguish the two
-EBUSY conditions, which are very different errors.

In the code, bd_claim() returns either 0 or -EBUSY, but in this case busy
means "somebody other than sys_swapon has already claimed this", and
_that_ means this block device can't be a valid swap device.  So return
-EINVAL there.

Hugh Dickins 5d337b9194 [PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.

The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention.  However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split.  Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.

So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).

If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

Hugh Dickins 52b7efdbe5 [PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks.  swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.

While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock.  Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path.  No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.

Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

Hugh Dickins 11d31886db [PATCH] swap: swap extent list is ordered
There are several comments that swap's extent_list.prev points to the lowest
extent: that's not so, it's extent_list.next which points to it, as you'd
expect.  And a couple of loops in add_swap_extent which go all the way through
the list, when they should just add to the other end.

Fix those up, and let map_swap_page search the list forwards: profiles shows
it to be twice as quick that way - because prefetch works better on how the
structs are typically kmalloc'ed?  or because usually more is written to than
read from swap, and swap is allocated ascendingly?

sys_swapon's call to destroy_swap_extents on failure is made after the final

setting up that swap_info_struct.  Calling it earlier, before taking
swap_list_lock, is safe.  sys_swapoff's call to destroy_swap_extents was safe,
but likewise move it earlier, before taking the locks (once try_to_unuse has
completed, nothing can be needing the swap extents).

Hugh Dickins c475a8ab62 [PATCH] can_share_swap_page: use page_mapcount
Remember that ironic get_user_pages race?  when the raised page_count on a
page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so
substituted a different page into userspace.  2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's
solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised.

Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics),
and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test.  A
year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix.

So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in
unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping
swapoff to make progress in that case.

Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check
page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize
their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that.

In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to
keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called.
