This patch achieves the following goals: 1. It replaces the preprocessor kmem flag to gfp flag mapping with proper translation logic. This eliminates the potential for surprises that were previously possible where kmem flags were mapped to gfp flags. 2. It maps vmem_alloc() allocations to kmem_alloc() for allocations sized less than or equal to the newly-added spl_kmem_alloc_max parameter. This ensures that small allocations will not contend on a single global lock, large allocations can still be handled, and potentially limited virtual address space will not be squandered. This behavior is entirely different than under Illumos due to different memory management strategies employed by the respective kernels. However, this functionally provides the semantics required. 3. The --disable-debug-kmem, --enable-debug-kmem (default), and --enable-debug-kmem-tracking allocators have been unified in to a single spl_kmem_alloc_impl() allocation function. This was done to simplify the code and make it more maintainable. 4. Improve portability by exposing an implementation of the memory allocations functions that can be safely used in the same way they are used on Illumos. Specifically, callers may safely use KM_SLEEP in contexts which perform filesystem IO. This allows us to eliminate an entire class of Linux specific changes which were previously required to avoid deadlocking the system. This change will be largely transparent to existing callers but there are a few caveats: 1. Because the headers were refactored and extraneous includes removed callers may find they need to explicitly add additional #includes. In particular, kmem_cache.h must now be explicitly includes to access the SPL's kmem cache implementation. This behavior is different from Illumos but it was done to avoid always masking the Linux slab functions when kmem.h is included. 2. Callers, like Lustre, which made assumptions about the definitions of KM_SLEEP, KM_NOSLEEP, and KM_PUSHPAGE will need to be updated. Other callers such as ZFS which did not will not require changes. 3. KM_PUSHPAGE is no longer overloaded to imply GFP_NOIO. It retains its original meaning of allowing allocations to access reserved memory. KM_PUSHPAGE callers can be converted back to KM_SLEEP. 4. The KM_NODEBUG flags has been retired and the default warning threshold increased to 32k. 5. The kmem_virt() functions has been removed. For callers which need to distinguish between a physical and virtual address use is_vmalloc_addr(). Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> |
