contain only ZONE_MOVABLE.  On some NUMA configurations when this occurs,

tests the last block as (start + length) rather than (start + length - 1).

This can be seen by trying to mount a filesystem made such as:

 mkfs.ext2 -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 256 -N 3744 fsfile 1024

16 years agomemory unplug: migration by kernel
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki [Thu, 26 Jul 2007 17:41:07 +0000 (10:41 -0700)]
memory unplug: migration by kernel

In usual, migrate_pages(page,,) is called with holding mm->sem by system call.
(mm here is a mm_struct which maps the migration target page.)
This semaphore helps avoiding some race conditions.

But, if we want to migrate a page by some kernel codes, we have to avoid
some races. This patch adds check code for following race condition.

1. A page which page->mapping==NULL can be target of migration. Then, we have
   to check page->mapping before calling try_to_unmap().

2. anon_vma can be freed while page is unmapped, but page->mapping remains as
   it was. We drop page->mapcount to be 0. Then we cannot trust page->mapping.
   So, use rcu_read_lock() to prevent anon_vma pointed by page->mapping from
   being freed during migration.

16 years agomake timerfd return a u64 and fix the __put_user
Davide Libenzi [Thu, 26 Jul 2007 17:41:07 +0000 (10:41 -0700)]
make timerfd return a u64 and fix the __put_user

Davi fixed a missing cast in the __put_user(), that was making timerfd
return a single byte instead of the full value.

Talking with Michael about the timerfd man page, we think it'd be better to
use a u64 for the returned value, to align it with the eventfd
implementation.

This is an ABI change.  The timerfd code is new in 2.6.22 and if we merge this
into 2.6.23 then we should also merge it into 2.6.22.x.  That will leave a few
early 2.6.22 kernels out in the wild which might misbehave when a future
timerfd-enabled glibc is run on them.

mtk says: The difference would be that read() will only return 4 bytes, while
the application will expect 8.  If the application is checking the size of
returned value, as it should, then it will be able to detect the problem (it
could even be sophisticated enough to know that if this is a 4-byte return,
then it is running on an old 2.6.22 kernel).  If the application is not
checking the return from read(), then its 8-byte buffer will not be filled --
the contents of the last 4 bytes will be undefined, so the u64 value as a
whole will be junk.

by making the loop counter "i" be signed.
