[PATCH v2] delete unnecessary bootmem struct page array

[PATCH v2] delete unnecessary bootmem struct page array

[Real Name]

From: Honggang Li <enjoymindful@gmail.com>

The patch based on linux-next-2014-06-02.

The old init_maps function does two things:
1) allocates and initializes one struct page array for bootmem
2) count the number of total pages

After removed the source code related to the unnecessary array, the name 
'init_maps' is some kind of improper named, as it just count the number of
total page numbers. So, I renamed the function as 'mem_total_pages'.

I tested the patch through repeat reboot the uml kernel many times.

[PATCH] delete unnecessary bootmem struct page array

[Real Name]

From: Honggang Li <enjoymindful@gmail.com>

1) uml kernel bootmem managed through bootmem_data->node_bootmem_map,
not the struct page array, so the array is unnecessary.

2) the bootmem struct page array has been pointed by a *local* pointer,
struct page *map, in init_maps function. The array can be accessed only
in init_maps's scope. As a result, uml kernel wastes about 1% of total
memory.

Hi "Real Name",

give Richard a little bit more time to comment/react.

UML is rather a hobby of him in it spare time than his full time job.

Can you please include in the changelog the commit sha1 which made the old init_maps() obsolete?
I had a look at the pre-git linux tree, looks like init_maps() wasn't touched for more than 10 years.

Thanks,

hi, richard

what is the pre-git linux tree? I searched it with google, but failed.

The v2.6.12 kernel is the oldest one available from the linux-next git tree. And it has duplicated
struct page arrays. So, any suggestion how to find the commit you wanted?

linux-2.4.20 + uml-patch-2.4.20-8 works on *old* redhat-9 virtual machine. And it seems has duplicated
struct page array too.

The first struct page array
------------------------
linux-2.4.20/arch/um/kernel/physmem.c
157 int init_maps(unsigned long len)
158 {
159         struct page *p, *map;
160         int i, n;
161 
162         n = len >> PAGE_SHIFT;
163         len = n * sizeof(struct page);
164 
165         if(kmalloc_ok){
166                 map = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
167                 if(map == NULL) map = vmalloc(len);
168         }
169         else map = alloc_bootmem_low_pages(len);
170 
171         if(map == NULL)
172                 return(-ENOMEM);
173 
174         for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
175                 p = &map[i];
176                 set_page_count(p, 0);
177                 SetPageReserved(p);
178                 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&p->list);
179         }
180 
181         mem_map = map;
182         max_mapnr = n;
183         return(0);
184 }


The second struct page array
-----------------------
mm/memory.c
73 mem_map_t * mem_map; // global define

mm/page_alloc.c
839 void __init free_area_init(unsigned long *zones_size)
840 {
841         free_area_init_core(0, &contig_page_data, &mem_map, zones_size, 0, 0, 0);
842 }

--------
mm/page_alloc.c
685 void __init free_area_init_core(int nid, pg_data_t *pgdat, struct page **gmap,
686         unsigned long *zones_size, unsigned long zone_start_paddr,
687         unsigned long *zholes_size, struct page *lmem_map)
688 {
........
716         map_size = (totalpages + 1)*sizeof(struct page);
717         if (lmem_map == (struct page *)0) {
718                 lmem_map = (struct page *) alloc_bootmem_node(pgdat, map_size);
719                 lmem_map = (struct page *)(PAGE_OFFSET +
720                         MAP_ALIGN((unsigned long)lmem_map - PAGE_OFFSET));
721         }
722         *gmap = pgdat->node_mem_map = lmem_map;

hi, richard

what is the pre-git linux tree? I searched it with google, but failed.

The v2.6.12 kernel is the oldest one available from the linux-next git tree. And it has duplicated
struct page arrays. So, any suggestion how to find the commit you wanted?

linux-2.4.20 + uml-patch-2.4.20-8 works on *old* redhat-9 virtual machine. And it seems has duplicated
struct page array too.

The first struct page array
------------------------
linux-2.4.20/arch/um/kernel/physmem.c
157 int init_maps(unsigned long len)
158 {
159         struct page *p, *map;
160         int i, n;
161 
162         n = len >> PAGE_SHIFT;
163         len = n * sizeof(struct page);
164 
165         if(kmalloc_ok){
166                 map = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
167                 if(map == NULL) map = vmalloc(len);
168         }
169         else map = alloc_bootmem_low_pages(len);
170 
171         if(map == NULL)
172                 return(-ENOMEM);
173 
174         for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
175                 p = &map[i];
176                 set_page_count(p, 0);
177                 SetPageReserved(p);
178                 INIT_LIST_HEAD(&p->list);
179         }
180 
181         mem_map = map;
182         max_mapnr = n;
183         return(0);
184 }


The second struct page array
-----------------------
mm/memory.c
73 mem_map_t * mem_map; // global define

mm/page_alloc.c
839 void __init free_area_init(unsigned long *zones_size)
840 {
841         free_area_init_core(0, &contig_page_data, &mem_map, zones_size, 0, 0, 0);
842 }

--------
mm/page_alloc.c
685 void __init free_area_init_core(int nid, pg_data_t *pgdat, struct page **gmap,
686         unsigned long *zones_size, unsigned long zone_start_paddr,
687         unsigned long *zholes_size, struct page *lmem_map)
688 {
........
716         map_size = (totalpages + 1)*sizeof(struct page);
717         if (lmem_map == (struct page *)0) {
718                 lmem_map = (struct page *) alloc_bootmem_node(pgdat, map_size);
719                 lmem_map = (struct page *)(PAGE_OFFSET +
720                         MAP_ALIGN((unsigned long)lmem_map - PAGE_OFFSET));
721         }
722         *gmap = pgdat->node_mem_map = lmem_map;

And if you remove it here too UML still works?

The archive at https://archive.org/details/git-history-of-linux seems to
be the most comprehensive. I use it regularly. It can even be made to
track the current tree. The tags for pre-v2.6.12-rc2 releases need to be
added manually, which is quite a bit of work.

Is there something better out there?

yes, it works. I removed the code related struct page array in init_maps.

Please check the attachments.

commit 5678d7fc97ac75f7401ce77897773cc0bb3afee5
Author: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>

    [PATCH] no arch-specific mem_map init

    So, this patch started out with me trying to keep from passing contiguous,
    node-specific mem_map into free_area_init_node() and cousins.  Instead, I
    relied on some calls to pfn_to_page().

    This works fine and dandy when all you need is the pgdat->node_mem_map to
    do pfn_to_page().  However, the non-NUMA/DISCONTIG architectures use the
    real, global mem_map[] instead of a node_mem_map in the pfn_to_page()
    calculation.  So, I ended up effectively trying to initialize mem_map from
    itself, when it was NULL.  That was bad, and caused some very pretty colors
    on someone's screen when he tested it.

    So, I had to make sure to initialize the global mem_map[] before calling
    into free_area_init_node().  Then, I realized how many architectures do
    this on their own, and have comments like this:

            /* XXX: MRB-remove - this doesn't seem sane, should this be done som
            mem_map = NODE_DATA(0)->node_mem_map;

    The following patch does what my first one did (don't pass mem_map into the
    init functions), incorporates Jesse Barnes' ia64 fixes on top of that, and
    gets rid of all but one of the global mem_map initializations (parisc is
    weird).  It also magically removes more code than it adds.  It could be
    smaller, but I shamelessly added some comments.

    Boot-tested on ppc64, i386 (NUMAQ, plain SMP, laptop), UML (i386).

Subject: [PATCH] UML delete unnecessary bootmem struct page array

1) uml kernel bootmem managed through bootmem_data->node_bootmem_map,
not the struct page array, so the array is unnecessary.

2) the bootmem struct page array has been pointed by a *local* pointer,
struct page *map, in init_maps function. The array can be accessed only
in init_maps's scope. As a result, uml kernel wastes about 1% of total
memory.

3) commit 5678d7fc97ac75f7401ce77897773cc0bb3afee5 obsoleted
the init_maps function.
