[PATCH] Swap Migration V5: migrate_pages() function This adds the basic page migration function with a minimal implementation that only allows the eviction of pages to swap space. Page eviction and migration may be useful to migrate pages, to suspend programs or for remapping single pages (useful for faulty pages or pages with soft ECC failures) The process is as follows: The function wanting to migrate pages must first build a list of pages to be migrated or evicted and take them off the lru lists via isolate_lru_page(). isolate_lru_page determines that a page is freeable based on the LRU bit set. Then the actual migration or swapout can happen by calling migrate_pages(). migrate_pages does its best to migrate or swapout the pages and does multiple passes over the list. Some pages may only be swappable if they are not dirty. migrate_pages may start writing out dirty pages in the initial passes over the pages. However, migrate_pages may not be able to migrate or evict all pages for a variety of reasons. The remaining pages may be returned to the LRU lists using putback_lru_pages(). Changelog V4->V5: - Use the lru caches to return pages to the LRU Changelog V3->V4: - Restructure code so that applying patches to support full migration does require minimal changes.

[PATCH] Swap Migration V5: LRU operations This is the start of the `swap migration' patch series. Swap migration allows the moving of the physical location of pages between nodes in a numa system while the process is running. This means that the virtual addresses that the process sees do not change. However, the system rearranges the physical location of those pages. The main intent of page migration patches here is to reduce the latency of memory access by moving pages near to the processor where the process accessing that memory is running. The patchset allows a process to manually relocate the node on which its pages are located through the MF_MOVE and MF_MOVE_ALL options while setting a new memory policy. The pages of process can also be relocated from another process using the sys_migrate_pages() function call. Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The migrate_pages function call takes two sets of nodes and moves pages of a process that are located on the from nodes to the destination nodes. Manual migration is very useful if for example the scheduler has relocated a process to a processor on a distant node. A batch scheduler or an administrator can detect the situation and move the pages of the process nearer to the new processor. sys_migrate_pages() could be used on non-numa machines as well, to force all of a particualr process's pages out to swap, if someone thinks that's useful. Larger installations usually partition the system using cpusets into sections of nodes. Paul has equipped cpusets with the ability to move pages when a task is moved to another cpuset. This allows automatic control over locality of a process. If a task is moved to a new cpuset then also all its pages are moved with it so that the performance of the process does not sink dramatically (as is the case today). Swap migration works by simply evicting the page. The pages must be faulted back in. The pages are then typically reallocated by the system near the node where the process is executing. For swap migration the destination of the move is controlled by the allocation policy. Cpusets set the allocation policy before calling sys_migrate_pages() in order to move the pages as intended. No allocation policy changes are performed for sys_migrate_pages(). This means that the pages may not faulted in to the specified nodes if no allocation policy was set by other means. The pages will just end up near the node where the fault occurred. There's another patch series in the pipeline which implements "direct migration". The direct migration patchset extends the migration functionality to avoid going through swap. The destination node of the relation is controllable during the actual moving of pages. The crutch of using the allocation policy to relocate is not necessary and the pages are moved directly to the target. Its also faster since swap is not used. And sys_migrate_pages() can then move pages directly to the specified node. Implement functions to isolate pages from the LRU and put them back later. This patch: An earlier implementation was provided by Hirokazu Takahashi <taka@valinux.co.jp> and IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp> for the memory hotplug project.

[PATCH] cpusets: formalize intermediate GFP_KERNEL containment This patch makes use of the previously underutilized cpuset flag 'mem_exclusive' to provide what amounts to another layer of memory placement resolution. With this patch, there are now the following four layers of memory placement available: 1) The whole system (interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations can use this), 2) The nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset (GFP_KERNEL allocations can use), 3) The current tasks cpuset (GFP_USER allocations constrained to here), and 4) Specific node placement, using mbind and set_mempolicy. These nest - each layer is a subset (same or within) of the previous. Layer (2) above is new, with this patch. The call used to check whether a zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch. GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will escape to the larger layer, if need be. The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets. This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset. Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset configurations were allowed.

The call used to check whether a zone (its node, actually) is in a cpuset (in its mems_allowed, actually) is extended to take a gfp_mask argument, and its logic is extended, in the case that __GFP_HARDWALL is not set in the flag bits, to look up the cpuset hierarchy for the nearest enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset, to determine if placement is allowed. The definition of GFP_USER, which used to be identical to GFP_KERNEL, is changed to also set the __GFP_HARDWALL bit, in the previous cpuset_gfp_hardwall_flag patch. GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_KERNEL allocations will stay within the current tasks cpuset, so long as any node therein is not too tight on memory, but will escape to the larger layer, if need be. The intended use is to allow something like a batch manager to handle several jobs, each job in its own cpuset, but using common kernel memory for caches and such. Swapper and oom_kill activity is also constrained to Layer (2). A task in or below one mem_exclusive cpuset should not cause swapping on nodes in another non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, nor provoke oom_killing of a task in another such cpuset. Heavy use of kernel memory for i/o caching and such by one job should not impact the memory available to jobs in other non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpusets. This patch enables providing hardwall, inescapable cpusets for memory allocations of each job, while sharing kernel memory allocations between several jobs, in an enclosing mem_exclusive cpuset. Like Dinakar's patch earlier to enable administering sched domains using the cpu_exclusive flag, this patch also provides a useful meaning to a cpuset flag that had previously done nothing much useful other than restrict what cpuset configurations were allowed.
