The following two patches against 2.6.32-rc4 should reduce allocation
failure reports for GFP_ATOMIC allocations that have being cropping up
since 2.6.31-rc1.
I believe these are candidates for -stable as they address issues in the
following commit introduced in the v2.6.30..v2.6.31-rc1 window
11e33f6 page allocator: break up the allocator entry point into fast and slow paths
The patch should not have made functional changes but at least two slipped
by. The first patch wakes kswapd up each time after OOM-killing has been
considered. This can be important to high-order allocations where kswapd
needs to reclaim at a higher order. The second patch corrects a problem
whereby a process that is exiting and making a __GFP_NOFAIL allocation can
ignore watermarks.
These patches in combination should help reduce the number of GFP_ATOMIC
failures in the following bug.
[Bug #14141] order 2 page allocation failures in iwlagn
However, this bug should not yet be closed as there are still problems in
the driver itself that increase the number of GFP_ATOMIC allocations that bug.
The patches should also help the following bugs as well and testing there
would be appreciated.
[Bug #14265] ifconfig: page allocation failure. order:5, mode:0x8020 w/ e100
It might also have helped the following bug although that driver has already
been fixed by not making high-order atomic allocations.
[Bug #14016] mm/ipw2200 regression

If a direct reclaim makes no forward progress, it considers whether it
should go OOM or not. Whether OOM is triggered or not, it may retry the
application afterwards. In times past, this would always wake kswapd as well
but currently, kswapd is not woken up after direct reclaim fails. For order-0
allocations, this makes little difference but if there is a heavy mix of
higher-order allocations that direct reclaim is failing for, it might mean
that kswapd is not rewoken for higher orders as much as it did previously.
This patch wakes up kswapd when an allocation is being retried after a direct
reclaim failure. It would be expected that kswapd is already awake, but
this has the effect of telling kswapd to reclaim at the higher order as well.

ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS should be cleared when trying to allocate from the
free-lists after a direct reclaim. If it's not, __GFP_NOFAIL allocations
from a process that is exiting can ignore watermarks. __GFP_NOFAIL is not
often used but the journal layer is one of those places. This is suspected of
causing an increase in the number of GFP_ATOMIC allocation failures reported.

I don't get it. __alloc_pages_high_priority() will already loop
indefinitely if ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set and its a __GFP_NOFAIL
allocation. How do we even reach this code in such a condition?

Frans, you reported that both patches in combination reduced the number
of failures. Was it in fact just the kswapd change that made the
difference?

I will retest both patches (as I already mailed you privately yesterday),
but not today. The improvement with the combination was real, but I'm not
sure which patch is the reason. I think the second, but I need to verify.
I've done another 30 boots or so today, mainly in the "akpm" merge, and
I've found new patterns that will help me nail down the regression. But
ATM I can't see straight anymore, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.
I'd suggest to delay merging any patches for now. There are still too many
open ends.
Cheers,
FJP

These patches actually made situation kind-of "worse" for this
particular issue.
I've tried patches with post 2.6.32-rc4 kernel and after second
suspend-resume cycle I got typical "order:5" failure. However, this
time when I manually tried to bring interface up ("ifup eth0") it
failed for 4 consecutive times with "Can't allocate memory". Before
applying these patches this never occured -- kernel sometimes failed
to allocate memory during resume, but it *never* failed afterwards.
I'll go now for another round of bisecting... and hopefully this time
I'll be able to trigger this problem on different/faster computer with
e100-based card.

Driver has been fixed? The one patch that I saw (by davem[1]) didn't
fix this issue. As of 2.6.32-rc5 I see no fixes to e100.c in
mainline, has there been another than this[1] fix posted somewhere?

No luck with that either.
I've tried merging 'akpm' (517d08699b25) into clean 2.6.30 tree and
got suspend-breakage which makes it untestable for me. (I've tried
reverting drm, suspend, and other commits... all that failed.)
Is there mm-related git tree hidden somewhere? ... or broken out
mm-related patches that were sent to Andrew ... or maybe it's possible
to get "git log -p" from Mel's private repo? Anything?
Thanks.

Please try reverting 373c0a7e + 8aa7e847 [1] on top of 2.6.31. I've finally
been able to solidly trace the main regression to that. I'm doing some
final confirmation tests now and will mail detailed results afterwards.
It would be great if you could confirm if that fixes the issue for you too.
Cheers,
FJP
[1] The first commit is a build fix for the second.

Sadly, reverting these patches didn't fix my problem. I've just
tested it -- I still get allocation failures.
Thanks.

I'm hoping the patch + the revert which I asked for in another mail will
help. It's been clear for a while that more than one thing went wrong
during this cycle.

The driver that was fixed was for the ipw2200, not the e100.

Again sorry for the delay, but I needed to retest these with various
kernels as the results were inconclusive. AFAICT neither of the two
patches makes a significant difference for my test case.
Not sure if my initial test was broken or that it was just a case where the
timings worked out favorably.
