pgalloc: convert various functions to use ptdescs

2023-08-21T20:37:55+00:00

As part of the conversions to replace pgtable constructor/destructors with
ptdesc equivalents, convert various page table functions to use ptdescs.

Some of the functions use the *get*page*() helper functions.  Convert
these to use pagetable_alloc() and ptdesc_address() instead to help
standardize page tables further.

mm: prefer xxx_page() alloc/free functions for order-0 pages

2023-03-28T23:20:16+00:00

Update instances of alloc_pages(..., 0), __get_free_pages(..., 0) and
__free_pages(..., 0) to use alloc_page(), __get_free_page() and
__free_page() respectively in core code.

asm-generic: Prepare for riscv use of pud_alloc_one and pud_free

2022-01-20T01:54:08+00:00

In the following commits, riscv will almost use the generic versions of
pud_alloc_one and pud_free but an additional check is required since those
functions are only relevant when using at least a 4-level page table, which
will be determined at runtime on riscv.

So move the content of those functions into other functions that riscv
can use without duplicating code.

asm-generic: pgalloc.h: use correct #ifdef to enable pud_alloc_one()

2020-08-15T02:56:55+00:00

The #ifdef statement that guards the generic version of pud_alloc_one() by
mistake used __HAVE_ARCH_PUD_FREE instead of __HAVE_ARCH_PUD_ALLOC_ONE.

Fix it.

asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pmd_alloc_one() and pmd_free_one()

2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

For most architectures that support >2 levels of page tables,
pmd_alloc_one() is a wrapper for __get_free_pages(), sometimes with
__GFP_ZERO and sometimes followed by memset(0) instead.

More elaborate versions on arm64 and x86 account memory for the user page
tables and call to pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() as the part of PMD page
initialization.

Move the arm64 version to include/asm-generic/pgalloc.h and use the
generic version on several architectures.

The pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() is a NOP when ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is
not enabled, so there is no functional change for most architectures
except of the addition of __GFP_ACCOUNT for allocation of user page
tables.

The pmd_free() is a wrapper for free_page() in all the cases, so no
functional change here.

mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming

2019-09-26T17:10:44+00:00

The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

mm: remove quicklist page table caches

2019-09-24T22:54:09+00:00

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

asm-generic, x86: introduce generic pte_{alloc,free}_one[_kernel]

2019-07-12T18:05:45+00:00

Most architectures have identical or very similar implementation of
pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_alloc_one(), pte_free_kernel() and
pte_free().

Add a generic implementation that can be reused across architectures and
enable its use on x86.

The generic implementation uses

	GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO

for the kernel page tables and

	GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO | __GFP_ACCOUNT

for the user page tables.

The "base" functions for PTE allocation, namely __pte_alloc_one_kernel()
and __pte_alloc_one() are intended for the architectures that require
additional actions after actual memory allocation or must use non-default
GFP flags.

x86 is switched to use generic pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_free_kernel() and
pte_free().

x86 still implements pte_alloc_one() to allow run-time control of GFP
flags required for "userpte" command line option.
