[Xen-changelog] [linux-2.6.18-xen] Transcendent memory ("tmem") for Linux



# HG changeset patch

Transcendent memory ("tmem") for Linux

Tmem, when called from a tmem-capable (paravirtualized) guest, makes
use of otherwise unutilized ("fallow") memory to create and manage
pools of pages that can be accessed from the guest either as
"ephemeral" pages or as "persistent" pages. In either case, the pages
are not directly addressible by the guest, only copied to and fro via
the tmem interface. Ephemeral pages are a nice place for a guest to
put recently evicted clean pages that it might need again; these pages
can be reclaimed synchronously by Xen for other guests or other uses.
Persistent pages are a nice place for a guest to put "swap" pages to
avoid sending them to disk. These pages retain data as long as the
guest lives, but count against the guest memory allocation.

This patch contains the Linux paravirtualization changes to
complement the tmem Xen patch (xen-unstable c/s 19646). It
implements "precache" (ext3 only as of now), "preswap",
and limited "shared precache" (ocfs2 only as of now) support.
CONFIG options are required to turn on
the support (but in this patch they default to "y").  If
the underlying Xen does not have tmem support or has it
turned off, this is sensed early to avoid nearly all
hypercalls.

Lots of useful prose about tmem can be found at
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem

+ * linux/mm/precache.c
+ *
+ * Implements "precache" for filesystems/pagecache on top of transcendent
+ * memory ("tmem") API.  A filesystem creates an "ephemeral tmem pool"
+ * and retains the returned pool_id in its superblock.  Clean pages evicted
+ * from pagecache may be "put" into the pool and associated with a "handle"
+ * consisting of the pool_id, an object (inode) id, and an index (page offset).
+ * Note that the page is copied to tmem; no kernel mappings are changed.
+ * If the page is later needed, the filesystem (or VFS) issues a "get", passing
+ * the same handle and an empty pageframe.  If successful, the page is copied
+ * into the pageframe and a disk read is avoided.  But since the tmem pool
+ * is of indeterminate size, a "put" page has indeterminate longevity
+ * ("ephemeral"), and the "get" may fail, in which case the filesystem must
+ * read the page from disk as before.  Note that the filesystem/pagecache are
+ * responsible for maintaining coherency between the pagecache, precache,
+ * and the disk, for which "flush page" and "flush object" actions are
+ * provided.  And when a filesystem is unmounted, it must "destroy" the pool.
+ *
+ * Two types of pools may be created for a precache: "private" or "shared".
+ * For a private pool, a successful "get" always flushes, implementing
+ * exclusive semantics; for a "shared" pool (which is intended for use by
+ * co-resident nodes of a cluster filesystem), the "flush" is not guaranteed.
+ * In either case, a failed "duplicate" put (overwrite) always guarantee
+ * the old data is flushed.
+ *
+ * Note also that multiple accesses to a tmem pool may be concurrent and any
+ * ordering must be guaranteed by the caller.
