前面已经分析了linux内存管理算法(伙伴管理算法)的准备工作。
具体的算法初始化则回到start_kernel()函数接着往下走,下一个函数是mm_init():
【file:/init/main.c】
/*
* Set up kernel memory allocators
*/
static void __init mm_init(void)
{
/*
* page_cgroup requires contiguous pages,
* bigger than MAX_ORDER unless SPARSEMEM.
*/
page_cgroup_init_flatmem();
mem_init();
kmem_cache_init();
percpu_init_late();
pgtable_init();
vmalloc_init();
}
乍看仅仅是几个函数的调用,实际上这里的事情远远没这么简单。其中page_cgroup_init_flatmem()与cgroup相关,而mem_init()则是管理伙伴管理算法的初始化,此外kmem_cache_init()是用于内核slub内存分配体系的初始化,而vmalloc_init()则是用于vmalloc的初始化。
当前主要分析伙伴管理算法,则仅对mem_init()做专门的分析,其余的暂且后面再分析。
伙伴管理算法的初始化函数入口是mem_init(),其实现:
【file:/arch/x86/mm/init_32.c】
void __init mem_init(void)
{
pci_iommu_alloc();
#ifdef CONFIG_FLATMEM
BUG_ON(!mem_map);
#endif
/*
* With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC initialization of highmem pages has to
* be done before free_all_bootmem(). Memblock use free low memory for
* temporary data (see find_range_array()) and for this purpose can use
* pages that was already passed to the buddy allocator, hence marked as
* not accessible in the page tables when compiled with
* CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. Otherwise order of initialization is not
* important here.
*/
set_highmem_pages_init();
/* this will put all low memory onto the freelists */
free_all_bootmem();
after_bootmem = 1;
mem_init_print_info(NULL);
printk(KERN_INFO "virtual kernel memory layout:
"

"
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
" pkmap : 0x%08lx - 0x%08lx (%4ld kB)

(FIXADDR_TOP - FIXADDR_START) >> 10,
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM

/*

* be detected at build time already.
*/
#define __FIXADDR_TOP (-PAGE_SIZE)
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
BUILD_BUG_ON(PKMAP_BASE + LAST_PKMAP*PAGE_SIZE > FIXADDR_START);
BUILD_BUG_ON(VMALLOC_END > PKMAP_BASE);
#endif
#define high_memory (-128UL << 20)
BUILD_BUG_ON(VMALLOC_START >= VMALLOC_END);
#undef high_memory
#undef __FIXADDR_TOP
#ifdef CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
BUILD_BUG_ON(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET > KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE);
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM

BUG_ON(VMALLOC_END > PKMAP_BASE);
#endif
BUG_ON(VMALLOC_START >= VMALLOC_END);
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START);
if (boot_cpu_data.wp_works_ok < 0)
test_wp_bit();
}
其中pci_iommu_alloc()不是伙伴算法重点相关的函数,不过还是稍微记录一下:
【file:/arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c】
void __init pci_iommu_alloc(void)
{
struct iommu_table_entry *p;
sort_iommu_table(__iommu_table, __iommu_table_end);
check_iommu_entries(__iommu_table, __iommu_table_end);
for (p = __iommu_table; p < __iommu_table_end; p++) {
if (p && p->detect && p->detect() > 0) {
p->flags |= IOMMU_DETECTED;
if (p->early_init)
p->early_init();
if (p->flags & IOMMU_FINISH_IF_DETECTED)
break;
}
}
}
该函数主要是将iommu table先行排序检查,然后调用各个表项注册的函数进行初始化。
而接着的set_highmem_pages_init()则是伙伴算法的开始:
【file:/arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c】
void __init set_highmem_pages_init(void)
{
struct zone *zone;
int nid;
/*
* Explicitly reset zone->managed_pages because set_highmem_pages_init()
* is invoked before free_all_bootmem()
*/
reset_all_zones_managed_pages();
for_each_zone(zone) {
unsigned long zone_start_pfn, zone_end_pfn;
if (!is_highmem(zone))
continue;
zone_start_pfn = zone->zone_start_pfn;
zone_end_pfn = zone_start_pfn + zone->spanned_pages;
nid = zone_to_nid(zone);
printk(KERN_INFO "Initializing %s for node %d (%08lx:%08lx)
",
zone->name, nid, zone_start_pfn, zone_end_pfn);
add_highpages_with_active_regions(nid, zone_start_pfn,
zone_end_pfn);
}
}
其中for_each_free_mem_range(i, nid, &start, &end, NULL)用于遍历查找memblock算法中空闲的空间区域,然后通过clamp_t()对空间区域进行去除内存空洞调整。里面的for ( ; pfn < e_pfn; pfn++)则用于将空间区域的各页面通过free_highmem_page()进行释放处理,其中if (pfn_valid(pfn))用于判断页面的有效性,而pfn_to_page(pfn)则是将页框号转换为页面管理结构。
进一步分析free_highmem_page()实现:
【file:/mm/page_alloc.c】
void free_highmem_page(struct page *page)
{
__free_reserved_page(page);
totalram_pages++;
page_zone(page)->managed_pages++;
totalhigh_pages++;
}
其中totalram_pages用于记录内存的总页面数,page_zone(page)->managed_pages则是记录管理区的管理页面数,totalhigh_pages则是记录高端内存的页面总数;
具体看一下__free_reserved_page():
【file:/include/linux/mm.h】
/* Free the reserved page into the buddy system, so it gets managed. */
static inline void __free_reserved_page(struct page *page)
{
ClearPageReserved(page);
init_page_count(page);
__free_page(page);
}
其中ClearPageReserved定义在/include/linux/page-flags.h中:
#define CLEARPAGEFLAG(uname, lname)
static inline void ClearPage##uname(struct page *page)
{ clear_bit(PG_##lname, &page->flags); }
用于清除页面的flag中的reserved标志位,表示页面属于动态内存。
接着的init_page_count()这是设置页面的_count引用计数,设置为1,用于为__free_page()释放页面到内存管理算法中做准备。最后的__free_page(),该函数既是初始化伙伴管理算法,同时也是伙伴管理算法释放页面的操作函数。暂且搁置分析__free_page()的实现,后面再详细深入。
接着回到mem_init ()里面下一个调用free_all_bootmem():
【file:/mm/nobootmem.c】
unsigned long __init free_all_bootmem(void)
{
unsigned long pages;
reset_all_zones_managed_pages();
/*
* We need to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of NODE_DATA(0)->node_id
* because in some case like Node0 doesn't have RAM installed
* low ram will be on Node1
*/
pages = free_low_memory_core_early();
totalram_pages += pages;
return pages;
}
其中reset_all_zones_managed_pages()是用于重置管理区zone结构中的managed_pages成员数据,着重分析一下free_low_memory_core_early()实现:
该函数通过for_each_free_mem_range()遍历memblock算法中的空闲内存空间,并调用__free_memory_core()来释放;而后面的get_allocated_memblock_reserved_regions_info()和get_allocated_memblock_memory_regions_info()用于获取通过申请而得的memblock管理算法空间,然后释放,其中如果其算法管理空间是系统定义的memblock_reserved_init_regions和memblock_memory_init_regions则仍保留不予以释放。
最后着重分析一下__free_memory_core()的实现:
【file:/mm/nobootmem.c】
static void __init __free_pages_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
int order;
while (start < end) {
order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1UL, __ffs(start));
while (start + (1UL << order) > end)
order--;
__free_pages_bootmem(pfn_to_page(start), order);
start += (1UL << order);
}
}
其里面的__free_pages_bootmem()则:
【file:/mm/nobootmem.c】
void __init __free_pages_bootmem(struct page *page, unsigned int order)
{
unsigned int nr_pages = 1 << order;
struct page *p = page;
unsigned int loop;
prefetchw(p);
for (loop = 0; loop < (nr_pages - 1); loop++, p++) {
prefetchw(p + 1);
__ClearPageReserved(p);
set_page_count(p, 0);
}
__ClearPageReserved(p);
set_page_count(p, 0);
page_zone(page)->managed_pages += nr_pages;
set_page_refcounted(page);
__free_pages(page, order);
}
由此可以看到,其最终调用的还是__free_pages()将页面予以释放。该函数在后面集中进行分析。
至此,伙伴管理算法初始化完毕。
