The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB. It wastes memory that
could be better used. It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.
The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes. It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time. I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory. While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.
The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.
tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
numentries=thash_entries
scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
limit=0
On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K
The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory. The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB. For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.
For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11
For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.
The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.
In alloc_large_system_hash-
| numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
| numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
| numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
| numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.
| /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
| if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
| numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
| else
| numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);
On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.
| log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
| do {
| size = bucketsize << log2qty;
bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.
On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.
For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash. That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c

These get created by some drivers that don't generally even want a pfn
remapping at all, but would really mostly prefer to just map pages
they've allocated individually instead.
For now, create a helper function that turns such an incomplete PFN
remapping call into a loop that does that explicit mapping. In the long
run we almost certainly want to export a totally different interface for
that, though.

JFFS2 initialize f->sem mutex as "locked" in the slab constructor which is a
bug. Objects are freed with unlocked f->sem mutex. So, when they allocated
again, f->sem is unlocked because the slab cache constructor is not called for
them. The constructor is called only once when memory pages are allocated for
objects (namely, when the slab layer allocates new slabs). So, sometimes
'struct jffs2_inode_info' are allocated with unlocked f->sem, sometimes with
locked. This is a bug. Instead, initialize f->sem as unlocked in the
constructor. I.e., in the "constructed" state f->sem must be unlocked.

With Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
The slab scanning code tries to balance the scanning rate of slabs versus the
scanning rate of LRU pages. To do this, it retains state concerning how many
slabs have been scanned - if a particular slab shrinker didn't scan enough
objects, we remember that for next time, and scan more objects on the next
pass.
The problem with this is that with (say) a huge number of GFP_NOIO
direct-reclaim attempts, the number of objects which are to be scanned when we
finally get a GFP_KERNEL request can be huge. Because some shrinker handlers
just bail out if !__GFP_FS.
So the patch clamps the number of objects-to-be-scanned to 2* the total number
of objects in the slab cache.

If you have an array with a write-intent-bitmap, and you remove a device, then
re-add it, a full recovery isn't needed. We detect a re-add by looking at
saved_raid_disk. For raid1, it doesn't matter which disk it was, only whether
or not it was an active device. The old code being removed set a value of
'mirror' which was then ignored, so it can go. The changed code performs the
correct check.
For raid6, if there are two missing devices, make sure we chose the right slot
on --re-add rather than always the first slot.
