User-visible effect:
Architectures that choose this method of maintaining cache coherency
(MIPS and xtensa currently) are able to use high memory on cores with
aliasing data cache. Without this fix such architectures can not use
high memory (in case of xtensa it means that at most 128 MBytes of
physical memory is available).
The problem:
VIPT cache with way size larger than MMU page size may suffer from
aliasing problem: a single physical address accessed via different
virtual addresses may end up in multiple locations in the cache.
Virtual mappings of a physical address that always get cached in
different cache locations are said to have different colors. L1 caching
hardware usually doesn't handle this situation leaving it up to
software. Software must avoid this situation as it leads to data
corruption.
What can be done:
One way to handle this is to flush and invalidate data cache every time
page mapping changes color. The other way is to always map physical
page at a virtual address with the same color. Low memory pages already
have this property. Giving architecture a way to control color of high
memory page mapping allows reusing of existing low memory cache alias
handling code.
How this is done with this patch:
Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
mapping address of high pages according to their color. Such
architectures may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page
mappings and reuse existing cache management functions to support
highmem.
This code is based on the implementation of similar feature for MIPS by
Leonid Yegoshin.

kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address
of an arbitrary mapping. This works by checking whether the address
falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the
linear mapping if appropriate.
Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is
incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off
the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page.
This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

The patch "mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use

To support highmem pages, this patch kmaps() the page before calling the
direct_IO() handler. As direct_IO deals with virtual addresses an
additional helper is necessary for get_kernel_pages() to lookup the struct
page for a kmap virtual address.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

Most ARM machines have a non IO coherent cache, meaning that the
dma_map_*() set of functions must clean and/or invalidate the affected
memory manually before DMA occurs. And because the majority of those
machines have a VIVT cache, the cache maintenance operations must be
performed using virtual
addresses.
When a highmem page is kunmap'd, its mapping (and cache) remains in place
in case it is kmap'd again. However if dma_map_page() is then called with
such a page, some cache maintenance on the remaining mapping must be
performed. In that case, page_address(page) is non null and we can use
that to synchronize the cache.
It is unlikely but still possible for kmap() to race and recycle the
virtual address obtained above, and use it for another page before some
on-going cache invalidation loop in dma_map_page() is done. In that case,
the new mapping could end up with dirty cache lines for another page,
and the unsuspecting cache invalidation loop in dma_map_page() might
simply discard those dirty cache lines resulting in data loss.
For example, let's consider this sequence of events:
- dma_map_page(..., DMA_FROM_DEVICE) is called on a highmem page.
--> - vaddr = page_address(page) is non null. In this case
it is likely that the page has valid cache lines
associated with vaddr. Remember that the cache is VIVT.
--> for (i = vaddr; i < vaddr + PAGE_SIZE; i += 32)
invalidate_cache_line(i);
*** preemption occurs in the middle of the loop above ***
- kmap_high() is called for a different page.
--> - last_pkmap_nr wraps to zero and flush_all_zero_pkmaps()
is called. The pkmap_count value for the page passed
to dma_map_page() above happens to be 1, so the page
is unmapped. But prior to that, flush_cache_kmaps()
cleared the cache for it. So far so good.
- A fresh pkmap entry is assigned for this kmap request.
The Murphy law says this pkmap entry will eventually
happen to use the same vaddr as the one which used to
belong to the other page being processed by
dma_map_page() in the preempted thread above.
- The kmap_high() caller start dirtying the cache using the
just assigned virtual mapping for its page.
*** the first thread is rescheduled ***
- The for(...) loop is resumed, but now cached
data belonging to a different physical page is
being discarded !
And this is not only a preemption issue as ARM can be SMP as well,
making the above scenario just as likely. Hence the need for some kind
of pkmap page pinning which can be used in any context, primarily for
the benefit of dma_map_page() on ARM.
This provides the necessary interface to cope with the above issue if
ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET is defined, otherwise the resulting code is
unchanged.

Highmem code can leave ptes and tlb entries around for a given page even after

>From what I can gather, the PAT code may change the cache attributes of

Flushing kmaps should solve the problem.
I've also just added code for conditional flushing if we haven't got

The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
__GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based
anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.
The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages
within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.
When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second,
the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.
By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that
allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge
page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being
non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.
Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
review of the patches.
This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable
by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added
memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

Xen and VMI both have special requirements when mapping a highmem pte
page into the kernel address space. These can be dealt with by adding
a new kmap_atomic_pte() function for mapping highptes, and hooking it
into the paravirt_ops infrastructure.
Xen specifically wants to map the pte page RO, so this patch exposes a
helper function, kmap_atomic_prot, which maps the page with the
specified page protections.
This also adds a kmap_flush_unused() function to clear out the cached
kmap mappings. Xen needs this to clear out any potential stray RW
mappings of pages which will become part of a pagetable.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers. It's
shown in /proc/vmstat.
Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere. So, if
there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages. And
it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages. So, it's
meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
