NUMA结构的alloc_pages

==================== mm/numa.c 43 43 ====================
43  #ifdef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM
==================== mm/numa.c 91 128 ====================
91  /*
92   * This can be refined. Currently, tries to do round robin, instead
93   * should do concentratic circle search, starting from current node.
94   */
                             //分配策略,  所需物理块的大小,2的order次方
95  struct page * alloc_pages(int gfp_mask, unsigned long order)
96  {
97 struct page *ret = 0;
98 pg_data_t *start, *temp;
99  #ifndef CONFIG_NUMA
100 unsigned long flags;
101 static pg_data_t *next = 0;
102  #endif
103
104 if (order >= MAX_ORDER)
105 return NULL;
106  #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA//NUMA结构
107 temp = NODE_DATA(numa_node_id());//可以通过宏操作找到cpu的节数据结构队列
108  #else
109 spin_lock_irqsave(&node_lock, flags);
110 if (!next) next = pgdat_list;
111 temp = next;
112 next = next->node_next;
113 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&node_lock, flags);
114  #endif
/*
函数主要操作2个循环,一个从temp到队列末尾,一个从队头到temp,扫描所有节,直到某节点内存分配成功
*/
115 start = temp;
116 while (temp) {
117 if ((ret = alloc_pages_pgdat(temp, gfp_mask, order)))//接下来解析此函数
118 return(ret);
119 temp = temp->node_next;
120 }
121 temp = pgdat_list;
122 while (temp != start) {
123 if ((ret = alloc_pages_pgdat(temp, gfp_mask, order)))
124 return(ret);
125 temp = temp->node_next;
126 }
127 return(0);
128  }

alloc_pages_pgdat试图分配所需页面,是__alloc_pages的封装

85  static struct page * alloc_pages_pgdat(pg_data_t *pgdat, int gfp_mask,
86 unsigned long order)
87  {                      //node_zonelist决定分配策略数组
88     return __alloc_pages(pgdat->node_zonelists + gfp_mask, order);
89  }

与UMA的alloc_pages()相比较,UMA只有一个节点,contig_page_data.UMA与NUMA共同使用__alloc_pages

==================== include/linux/mm.h 343 352 ====================
343  #ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM//只有这个无定义,才使用uma的__alloc_pages
344  static inline struct page * alloc_pages(int gfp_mask, unsigned long order)
83
345  {
346 /*
347  * Gets optimized away by the compiler.
348  */
349 if (order >= MAX_ORDER)
350 return NULL;
351 return __alloc_pages(contig_page_data.node_zonelists+(gfp_mask), order);
352  }

查看__alloc_page,

如果只分配一个页面,而且要等待完成分配,又不适用于管理的目的
把direct_reclaim设置为1,表示可以从相应的管理区的不活跃干净页面缓冲队列中回收
84发现空闲页面短缺,唤醒以下2个进程,试图腾出一些页面出来

[alloc_pages()>__alloc_pages()]
270  /*
271   * This is the ‘heart‘ of the zoned buddy allocator:

273  struct page * __alloc_pages(zonelist_t *zonelist, unsigned long order)

继续看__alloc_page代码

//如果管理区的空闲页面大于其最低标准,分配成功直接返回

//否则有进程(内核线程kreclaimd)在等待队列睡眠,把它唤醒,用于回收一些页面,备用

就这样rmqueue队列一直往上扫描,直到分配成功或者失败,如果失败,则__alloc_pages通过for循环

指向下一个管理区(按照分配策略),直到成功.

要是给定的分配策略中的所有页面管理区都失败,那就只能加大力度再试试.要么降低对页面的水位要求

要么把缓冲在管理区的不活跃干净页面也给考虑进去

要是再失败,那就看谁在要求分配内存页面.如果是kswaped,本身就是内存分配工作者

是要更好的分配页面,比一般进程更重要,那就PF_memalloc标志位为1,不过我们先看一般进程

即pe_memalloc标志位为0的策略.
