arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01Z

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from user-triggered faults. Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM handling can be improved.

mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault handlers

2013-07-09T17:33:20Z

A few remaining architectures directly kill the page faulting task in an out of memory situation. This is usually not a good idea since that task might not even use a significant amount of memory and so may not be the optimal victim to resolve the situation. Since 2.6.29's 1c0fe6e ("mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault") there is a hook that architecture page fault handlers are supposed to call to invoke the OOM killer and let it pick the right task to kill. Convert the remaining architectures over to this hook. To have the previous behavior of simply taking out the faulting task the vm.oom_kill_allocating_task sysctl can be set to 1.

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33Z

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(), free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count(). With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence. Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu Acked-by: David Howells Cc: "H.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

2013-07-03T23:07:32Z

Address more review comments from last round of code review. 1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem() on ARM64. 2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390 by mistake, so restore to the original behavior. 3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

openrisc: update DTLB-miss handler last

2013-02-17T07:46:10Z

The self-modifying code that updates the TLB handler at start-up has a subtle ordering requirement: the DTLB handler must be the last thing changed. What I was seeing was the following: i) The DTLB handler was updated ii) The following printk caused a TLB miss and the look-up resulted in the page containing itlb_vector (0xc0000a00) being bounced from the TLB. iii) The subsequent access to itlb_vector caused a TLB miss and reload of the page containing itlb_vector from the page tables. iv) But this reload of the page in iii) was being done by the "new" DTLB-miss handler which resulted (correctly) in the page flags being set to read-only; the subsequent write-access to itlb_vector thus resulted in a page (access) fault. This is easily remedied if we ensure that the boot-time DTLB-miss handler continues running until the very last bit of self-modifying code has been executed. This patch should ensure that the very last thing updated is the DTLB-handler itself. Signed-off-by: Jonas Bonn Acked-by: Julius Baxter Tested-by: Sebastian Macke

readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection

2012-10-09T07:22:47Z

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access. Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it. I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other archs is obvious, but who knows :) Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Wu Fengguang Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

openrisc/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to do_page_fault

Commit d065bd810b6deb67d4897a14bfe21f8eb526ba99 (mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer) and commit 37b23e0525d393d48a7d59f870b3bc061a30ccdb (x86,mm: make pagefault killable) The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable. These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial during OOM killer invocation. Port these changes to openrisc. Signed-off-by: Mohd.
