Linux3.14.12内存管理笔记【伙伴管理算法（5）】
前面已经分析了伙伴管理算法的释放实现，接着分析一下伙伴管理算法的内存申请实现。
伙伴管理算法内存申请和释放的入口一样，其实并没有很清楚的界限表示这个函数是入口，而那个不是，所以例行从稍微偏上一点的地方作为入口分析。于是选择了alloc_pages()宏定义作为分析切入口：
【file:/include/linux/gfp.h】#define alloc_pages(gfp_mask, order)
alloc_pages_node(numa_node_id(), gfp_mask, order)
而alloc_pages_node()的实现：
【file:/include/linux/gfp.h】static inline struct page *alloc_pages_node(int nid, gfp_t gfp_mask,
unsigned int order)
{
/* Unknown node is current node */
if (nid < 0)
nid = numa_node_id();
return __alloc_pages(gfp_mask, order, node_zonelist(nid, gfp_mask));
}
没有明确内存申请的node节点时，则默认会选择当前的node节点作为申请节点。往下则接着调用__alloc_pages()来申请具体内存，其中入参node_zonelist()是用于获取node节点的zone管理区列表。接着往下看一下__alloc_pages()的实现：
【file:/include/linux/gfp.h】static inline struct page *
__alloc_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order,
struct zonelist *zonelist)
{
return __alloc_pages_nodemask(gfp_mask, order, zonelist, NULL);
}
实则是封装了__alloc_pages_nodemask()。而__alloc_pages_nodemask()的实现：
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】/*
* This is the "heart" of the zoned buddy allocator.
*/
struct page *
__alloc_pages_nodemask(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order,
struct zonelist *zonelist, nodemask_t *nodemask)
{
enum zone_type high_zoneidx = gfp_zone(gfp_mask);
struct zone *preferred_zone;
struct page *page = NULL;
int migratetype = allocflags_to_migratetype(gfp_mask);
unsigned int cpuset_mems_cookie;
int alloc_flags = ALLOC_WMARK_LOW|ALLOC_CPUSET|ALLOC_FAIR;
struct mem_cgroup *memcg = NULL;
gfp_mask &= gfp_allowed_mask;
lockdep_trace_alloc(gfp_mask);
might_sleep_if(gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT);
if (should_fail_alloc_page(gfp_mask, order))
return NULL;
/*
* Check the zones suitable for the gfp_mask contain at least one
* valid zone. It"s possible to have an empty zonelist as a result
* of GFP_THISNODE and a memoryless node
*/
if (unlikely(!zonelist->_zonerefs->zone))
return NULL;
/*
* Will only have any effect when __GFP_KMEMCG is set. This is
* verified in the (always inline) callee
*/
if (!memcg_kmem_newpage_charge(gfp_mask, &memcg, order))
return NULL;
retry_cpuset:
cpuset_mems_cookie = get_mems_allowed();
/* The preferred zone is used for statistics later */
first_zones_zonelist(zonelist, high_zoneidx,
nodemask ? : &cpuset_current_mems_allowed,
&preferred_zone);
if (!preferred_zone)
goto out;
#ifdef CONFIG_CMA
if (allocflags_to_migratetype(gfp_mask) == MIGRATE_MOVABLE)
alloc_flags |= ALLOC_CMA;
#endif
retry:
/* First allocation attempt */
page = get_page_from_freelist(gfp_mask|__GFP_HARDWALL, nodemask, order,
zonelist, high_zoneidx, alloc_flags,
preferred_zone, migratetype);
if (unlikely(!page)) {
/*
* The first pass makes sure allocations are spread
* fairly within the local node. However, the local
* node might have free pages left after the fairness
* batches are exhausted, and remote zones haven"t
* even been considered yet. Try once more without
* fairness, and include remote zones now, before
* entering the slowpath and waking kswapd: prefer
* spilling to a remote zone over swapping locally.
*/
if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_FAIR) {
reset_alloc_batches(zonelist, high_zoneidx,
preferred_zone);
alloc_flags &= ~ALLOC_FAIR;
goto retry;
}
/*
* Runtime PM, block IO and its error handling path
* can deadlock because I/O on the device might not
* complete.
*/
gfp_mask = memalloc_noio_flags(gfp_mask);
page = __alloc_pages_slowpath(gfp_mask, order,
zonelist, high_zoneidx, nodemask,
preferred_zone, migratetype);
}
trace_mm_page_alloc(page, order, gfp_mask, migratetype);
out:
/*
* When updating a task"s mems_allowed, it is possible to race with
* parallel threads in such a way that an allocation can fail while
* the mask is being updated. If a page allocation is about to fail,
* check if the cpuset changed during allocation and if so, retry.
*/
if (unlikely(!put_mems_allowed(cpuset_mems_cookie) && !page))
goto retry_cpuset;
memcg_kmem_commit_charge(page, memcg, order);
return page;
}
其中lockdep_trace_alloc()需要CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS和CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING同时定义的时候，才起作用，否则为空函数；如果申请页面传入的gfp_mask掩码携带__GFP_WAIT标识，表示允许页面申请时休眠，则会进入might_sleep_if()检查是否需要休眠等待以及重新调度；由于未设置CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC，则should_fail_alloc_page()恒定返回false；if (unlikely(!zonelist->_zonerefs->zone))用于检查当前申请页面的内存管理区zone是否为空；memcg_kmem_newpage_charge()和memcg_kmem_commit_charge()与控制组群Cgroup相关；get_mems_allowed()封装了read_seqcount_begin()用于获得当前对被顺序计数保护的共享资源进行读访问的顺序号，用于避免并发的情况下引起的失败，与其组合的操作函数是put_mems_allowed()；first_zones_zonelist()则是用于根据nodemask，找到合适的不大于high_zoneidx的内存管理区preferred_zone；另外allocflags_to_migratetype()是用于转换GFP标识为正确的迁移类型。
最后__alloc_pages_nodemask()分配内存页面的关键函数是：get_page_from_freelist()和__alloc_pages_slowpath()，其中get_page_from_freelist()最先用于尝试页面分配，如果分配失败的情况下，则会进一步调用__alloc_pages_slowpath()。__alloc_pages_slowpath()是用于慢速页面分配，允许等待和内存回收。由于__alloc_pages_slowpath()涉及其他内存管理机制，这里暂不深入分析。
故最后分析一下get_page_from_freelist()的实现：
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】/*
* get_page_from_freelist goes through the zonelist trying to allocate
* a page.
*/
static struct page *
get_page_from_freelist(gfp_t gfp_mask, nodemask_t *nodemask, unsigned int order,

nodemask_t *allowednodes = NULL;/* zonelist_cache approximation */
int zlc_active = 0; /* set if using zonelist_cache */
int did_zlc_setup = 0; /* just call zlc_setup() one time */
classzone_idx = zone_idx(preferred_zone);

}
/*

*
* This may look like it could increase pressure on

*/
if ((alloc_flags & ALLOC_WMARK_LOW) &&
(gfp_mask & __GFP_WRITE) && !zone_dirty_ok(zone))
goto this_zone_full;

}
该函数主要是遍历各个内存管理区列表zonelist以尝试页面申请。其中for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask()则是用于遍历zonelist的，每个内存管理区尝试申请前，都将检查内存管理区是否有可分配的内存空间、根据alloc_flags判断当前CPU是否允许在该内存管理区zone中申请以及做watermark水印检查以判断zone中的内存是否足够等。这部分的功能实现将在后面详细分析，当前主要聚焦在伙伴管理算法的实现。
不难找到真正用于分配内存页面的函数为buffered_rmqueue()，其实现：
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】/*
* Really, prep_compound_page() should be called from __rmqueue_bulk(). But
* we cheat by calling it from here, in the order > 0 path. Saves a branch
* or two.
*/
static inline
struct page *buffered_rmqueue(struct zone *preferred_zone,
struct zone *zone, int order, gfp_t gfp_flags,
int migratetype)
{
unsigned long flags;
struct page *page;
int cold = !!(gfp_flags & __GFP_COLD);
again:
if (likely(order == 0)) {
struct per_cpu_pages *pcp;
struct list_head *list;
local_irq_save(flags);
pcp = &this_cpu_ptr(zone->pageset)->pcp;
list = &pcp->lists[migratetype];
if (list_empty(list)) {
pcp->count += rmqueue_bulk(zone, 0,
pcp->batch, list,
migratetype, cold);
if (unlikely(list_empty(list)))
goto failed;
}
if (cold)
page = list_entry(list->prev, struct page, lru);
else
page = list_entry(list->next, struct page, lru);
list_del(&page->lru);
pcp->count--;
} else {
if (unlikely(gfp_flags & __GFP_NOFAIL)) {
/*
* __GFP_NOFAIL is not to be used in new code.
*
* All __GFP_NOFAIL callers should be fixed so that they
* properly detect and handle allocation failures.
*
* We most definitely don"t want callers attempting to
* allocate greater than order-1 page units with
* __GFP_NOFAIL.
*/
WARN_ON_ONCE(order > 1);
}
spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock, flags);
page = __rmqueue(zone, order, migratetype);
spin_unlock(&zone->lock);
if (!page)
goto failed;
__mod_zone_freepage_state(zone, -(1 << order),
get_pageblock_migratetype(page));
}
__mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, -(1 << order));
__count_zone_vm_events(PGALLOC, zone, 1 << order);
zone_statistics(preferred_zone, zone, gfp_flags);

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(bad_range(zone, page), page);
if (prep_new_page(page, order, gfp_flags))
goto again;
return page;
failed:
local_irq_restore(flags);
return NULL;
}
if (likely(order == 0))如果申请的内存页面处于伙伴管理算法中的0阶，即只申请一个内存页面时，则首先尝试从冷热页中申请，若申请失败则继而调用rmqueue_bulk()去申请页面至冷热页管理列表中，继而再从冷热页列表中获取；如果申请多个页面则会通过__rmqueue()直接从伙伴管理中申请。
__rmqueue()的实现：
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】/*
* Do the hard work of removing an element from the buddy allocator.
* Call me with the zone->lock already held.
*/
static struct page *__rmqueue(struct zone *zone, unsigned int order,
int migratetype)
{
struct page *page;
retry_reserve:
page = __rmqueue_smallest(zone, order, migratetype);
if (unlikely(!page) && migratetype != MIGRATE_RESERVE) {
page = __rmqueue_fallback(zone, order, migratetype);
/*
* Use MIGRATE_RESERVE rather than fail an allocation. goto
* is used because __rmqueue_smallest is an inline function
* and we want just one call site
*/
if (!page) {
migratetype = MIGRATE_RESERVE;
goto retry_reserve;
}
}
trace_mm_page_alloc_zone_locked(page, order, migratetype);
return page;
}
该函数里面有两个关键函数：__rmqueue_smallest()和__rmqueue_fallback()。
先行分析一下__rmqueue_fallback()：
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】
/*
* Go through the free lists for the given migratetype and remove
* the smallest available page from the freelists
*/
static inline
struct page *__rmqueue_smallest(struct zone *zone, unsigned int order,
int migratetype)
{
unsigned int current_order;
struct free_area *area;
struct page *page;
/* Find a page of the appropriate size in the preferred list */
for (current_order = order; current_order < MAX_ORDER; ++current_order) {
area = &(zone->free_area[current_order]);
if (list_empty(&area->free_list[migratetype]))
continue;
page = list_entry(area->free_list[migratetype].next,
struct page, lru);
list_del(&page->lru);
rmv_page_order(page);
area->nr_free--;
expand(zone, page, order, current_order, area, migratetype);
return page;
}
return NULL;
}
该函数实现了分配算法的核心功能，首先for()循环其由指定的伙伴管理算法链表order阶开始，如果该阶的链表不为空，则直接通过list_del()从该链表中获取空闲页面以满足申请需要；如果该阶的链表为空，则往更高一阶的链表查找，直到找到链表不为空的一阶，至于若找到了最高阶仍为空链表，则申请失败；否则将在找到链表不为空的一阶后，将空闲页面块通过list_del()从链表中摘除出来，然后通过expand()将其对等拆分开，并将拆分出来的一半空闲部分挂接至低一阶的链表中，直到拆分至恰好满足申请需要的order阶，最后将得到的满足要求的页面返回回去。至此，页面已经分配到了。
至于__rmqueue_fallback()：
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】/* Remove an element from the buddy allocator from the fallback list */
static inline struct page *
__rmqueue_fallback(struct zone *zone, int order, int start_migratetype)
{
struct free_area *area;
int current_order;
struct page *page;
int migratetype, new_type, i;
/* Find the largest possible block of pages in the other list */
for (current_order = MAX_ORDER-1; current_order >= order;
--current_order) {
for (i = 0;; i++) {
migratetype = fallbacks[start_migratetype][i];
/* MIGRATE_RESERVE handled later if necessary */
if (migratetype == MIGRATE_RESERVE)
break;
area = &(zone->free_area[current_order]);
if (list_empty(&area->free_list[migratetype]))
continue;
page = list_entry(area->free_list[migratetype].next,
struct page, lru);
area->nr_free--;
new_type = try_to_steal_freepages(zone, page,
start_migratetype,
migratetype);
/* Remove the page from the freelists */
list_del(&page->lru);
rmv_page_order(page);
expand(zone, page, order, current_order, area,
new_type);
trace_mm_page_alloc_extfrag(page, order, current_order,
start_migratetype, migratetype, new_type);
return page;
}
}
return NULL;
}
其主要是向其他迁移类型中获取内存。较正常的伙伴算法不同，其向迁移类型的内存申请内存页面时，是从最高阶开始查找的，主要是从大块内存中申请可以避免更少的碎片。如果尝试完所有的手段仍无法获得内存页面，则会从MIGRATE_RESERVE列表中获取。这部分暂不深入，后面再详细分析。
毕了，至此伙伴管理算法的分配部分暂时分析完毕。
