NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's

slob: initial NUMA support
This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with
small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether
asymmetric or otherwise.
We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node
placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been
specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring
node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be
reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so
single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in
terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node
id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have
a matching node id in the page flags.
The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all
partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due
to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked
for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily
be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

slob: rework freelist handling
Improve slob by turning the freelist into a list of pages using struct page
fields, then each page has a singly linked freelist of slob blocks via a
pointer in the struct page.
- The first benefit is that the slob freelists can be indexed by a smaller
type (2 bytes, if the PAGE_SIZE is reasonable).
- Next is that freeing is much quicker because it does not have to traverse
the entire freelist. Allocation can be slightly faster too, because we can
skip almost-full freelist pages completely.
- Slob pages are then freed immediately when they become empty, rather than
having a periodic timer try to free them. This gives efficiency and memory
consumption improvement.
Then, we don't encode seperate size and next fields into each slob block,
rather we use the sign bit to distinguish between "size" or "next". Then
size 1 blocks contain a "next" offset, and others contain the "size" in
the first unit and "next" in the second unit.
- This allows minimum slob allocation alignment to go from 8 bytes to 2
bytes on 32-bit and 12 bytes to 2 bytes on 64-bit. In practice, it is
best to align them to word size, however some architectures (eg. cris)
could gain space savings from turning off this extra alignment.
Then, make kmalloc use its own slob_block at the front of the allocation
in order to encode allocation size, rather than rely on not overwriting
slob's existing header block.
- This reduces kmalloc allocation overhead similarly to alignment reductions.
- Decouples kmalloc layer from the slob allocator.
Then, add a page flag specific to slob pages.
- This means kfree of a page aligned slob block doesn't have to traverse
the bigblock list.
I would get benchmarks, but my test box's network doesn't come up with
slob before this patch. I think something is timing out. Anyway, things
are faster after the patch.
Code size goes up about 1K, however dynamic memory usage _should_ be
lower even on relatively small memory systems.
Future todo item is to restore the cyclic free list search, rather than
to always begin at the start.

MM: alloc_large_system_hash() can free some memory for non power-of-two bucketsize
alloc_large_system_hash() is called at boot time to allocate space for
several large hash tables.
Lately, TCP hash table was changed and its bucketsize is not a power-of-two
anymore.
On most setups, alloc_large_system_hash() allocates one big page (order >
0) with __get_free_pages(GFP_ATOMIC, order). This single high_order page
has a power-of-two size, bigger than the needed size.
We can free all pages that wont be used by the hash table.
On a 1GB i386 machine, this patch saves 128 KB of LOWMEM memory.
TCP established hash table entries: 32768 (order: 6, 393216 bytes)

Make /proc/slabinfo use seq_list_xxx helpers
This entry prints a header in .start callback. This is OK, but the more
elegant solution would be to move this into the .show callback and use
seq_list_start_head() in .start one.
I have left it as is in order to make the patch just switch to new API and
noting more.

change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic
Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6.
This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable.
Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based.
[Default Order]
The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically.
[Node-based Order]
This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones
(ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist.
current 2.6.21 kernel uses this.
Pros.
* A user can expect local memory as much as possible.
Cons.
* lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL.
Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL
because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality.
(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.
*node(0)'s memory allocation order:
node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL.
*node(1)'s memory allocation order:
node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
[Zone-based order]
This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone
never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist.
Pros.
* OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted.
Cons.
* memory locality may not be best.
(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.
*node(0)'s memory allocation order:
node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
*node(1)'s memory allocation order:
node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd.
command:
%echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order.
command:
%echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

serial: assert DTR for serial console devices
Some RS-232 devices require DTR to be asserted before they can be used. DTR
is normally asserted in uart_startup() when the port is opened. But we don't
actually open serial console ports, so assert DTR when the port is added.
BTW:
earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.
rmk says
The only issue I can think of is the possibility for an attached modem to
auto-answer or maybe even auto-dial before the system is ready for it to do
so. Might have an undesirable cost implication for some running with such a
setup.
Apart from that, I can't think of any other side effect of this specific
patch.

Remove all ids from the given idr tree. idr_destroy() only frees up
unused, cached idp_layers, but this function will remove all id mappings
and leave all idp_layers unused.
A typical clean-up sequence for objects stored in an idr tree, will use
idr_for_each() to free all objects, if necessay, then idr_remove_all() to
remove all ids, and idr_destroy() to free up the cached idr_layers.

This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure. Compared
to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this
iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as
opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr. This
makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way
to iterate through the elements.
The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and
with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these
resources.
