There is no reproducer and it is difficult to hit -- 1 crash every few
days. The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c820ff
("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
skip hints"). When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.
A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.
A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
of a pageblock which is not intended. While syzbot cannot be used to
verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
triggers with this patch applied. It has also been confirmed that the THP
allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3.
Objective
---------
Please have a look for the description at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
but let me also summarize it a bit here as well.
The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different
permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say
"long" i mean milliseconds.
Description
-----------
This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e. an allocation is done over free areas lookups,
instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks. It allows to have
lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have
less fragmented memory allocator. Because free blocks are always as large
as possible.
It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending
order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides
O(1) access to prev/next elements.
Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA
that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right
sub-tree. Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left
most path) free area.
Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity. It is sequential allocation method
therefore tends to maximize locality. The search is done until a first
suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters.
Bigger areas are split.
I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i
described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
<snip>
A free block can be split by three different ways. Their names are
FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e. they
correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block.
FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free
list/tree because it fully fits. Comparing with current design there is
an extra work with rb-tree updating.
LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit. In this case what we do
is just cutting a free block. It is as fast as a current design. Most of
the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is
always aligned to 1.
NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case. Basically it happens when
requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e. it
is between them. In this case during splitting we have to build a
remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree.
Comparing with current design there are two extra steps. First one is we
have to allocate a new vmap_area structure. Second one we have to insert
that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree.
In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects.
Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and
reuse it.
Second one is pretty optimized. Since we know a start point in the tree
we do not do a search from the top. Instead a traversal begins from a
rb-tree node we split.
<snip>
De-allocation. ~O(log(N)) complexity. An area is not inserted straight
away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it
can be merged around neighbors. The list provides O(1) access to
prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it. Summarizing. If merged then
large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making
more fragments.
There is one more thing that i should mention here. After modification of
VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in
its left or right sub-tree. Apart of that it can also be populated back
to upper levels to fix the tree. For more details please have a look at
the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description.
Tests and stressing
-------------------
I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under
"tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel. Just trigger "sudo
./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it.
Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA.
Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system,
therefore i emulated it. The time of stressing is days.
If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that
is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1. So, please apply it:
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c
After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory
leaks, crashes or kernel panics. I find it stable, but more testing would
be good.
Performance analysis
--------------------
I have used two systems to test. One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and
another is HiKey960(arm64) board. i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas
Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel. I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1
as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this.
Currently it consist of 8 tests. There are three of them which correspond
to different types of splitting(to compare with default). We have 3
ones(see above). Another 5 do allocations in different conditions.
a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available
tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order. We
do it in order to get stable and repeatable results. Take a look at time
difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test". It is not surprising because
the worst case is O(N).

b) time sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh test_repeat_count=1
With this configuration, all tests are run on all available online CPUs.
Before running each CPU shuffles its tests execution order. It gives
random allocation behaviour. So it is rough comparison, but it puts in
the picture for sure.
# i5-3320M

real unknown real 4m25.214s
user unknown user 0m0.011s
sys unknown sys 0m0.670s
I did not manage to complete this test on "default Hikey960" kernel
version. After 24 hours it was still running, therefore i had to cancel
it. That is why real/user/sys are "unknown".
This patch (of 3):
Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list
iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy
areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown. Due to
over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can
take a long time. For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds.
This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range. It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks
sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in
order of increasing addresses.
Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in
its left or right sub-tree. Thus, that allows to take a decision and
traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start
address, i.e. it is sequential allocation.
Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a
suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the
requested size, alignment and vstart point. If the block is bigger than
requested size - it is split.
De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or
inserted to the tree. Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot
whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next
blocks to check if merging can be done. In case of merging of
de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.
Complexity: ~O(log(N))

It turned out that DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is still broken even after recent
recue efforts that when there is a large number of objects like
kmemleak_object which is normal on a debug kernel,
# grep kmemleak /proc/slabinfo
kmemleak_object 2243606 3436210 ...
reading /proc/slab_allocators could easily loop forever while processing
the kmemleak_object cache and any additional freeing or allocating
objects will trigger a reprocessing. To make a situation worse,
soft-lockups could easily happen in this sitatuion which will call
printk() to allocate more kmemleak objects to guarantee an infinite
loop.
Also, since it seems no one had noticed when it was totally broken
more than 2-year ago - see the commit fcf88917dd43 ("slab: fix a crash
by reading /proc/slab_allocators"), probably nobody cares about it
anymore due to the decline of the SLAB. Just remove it entirely.

When a cgroup is reclaimed on behalf of a configured limit, reclaim
needs to round-robin through all NUMA nodes that hold pages of the memcg
in question. However, when assembling the mask of candidate NUMA nodes,
the code only consults the *local* cgroup LRU counters, not the
recursive counters for the entire subtree. Cgroup limits are frequently
configured against intermediate cgroups that do not have memory on their
own LRUs. In this case, the node mask will always come up empty and
reclaim falls back to scanning only the current node.
If a cgroup subtree has some memory on one node but the processes are
bound to another node afterwards, the limit reclaim will never age or
reclaim that memory anymore.
To fix this, use the recursive LRU counts for a cgroup subtree to
determine which nodes hold memory of that cgroup.
The code has been broken like this forever, so it doesn't seem to be a
problem in practice. I just noticed it while reviewing the way the LRU
counters are used in general.

Right now, when somebody needs to know the recursive memory statistics
and events of a cgroup subtree, they need to walk the entire subtree and
sum up the counters manually.
There are two issues with this:
1. When a cgroup gets deleted, its stats are lost. The state counters
should all be 0 at that point, of course, but the events are not.
When this happens, the event counters, which are supposed to be
monotonic, can go backwards in the parent cgroups.
2. During regular operation, we always have a certain number of lazily
freed cgroups sitting around that have been deleted, have no tasks,
but have a few cache pages remaining. These groups' statistics do not
change until we eventually hit memory pressure, but somebody
watching, say, memory.stat on an ancestor has to iterate those every
time.
This patch addresses both issues by introducing recursive counters at
each level that are propagated from the write side when stats change.
Upward propagation happens when the per-cpu caches spill over into the
local atomic counter. This is the same thing we do during charge and
uncharge, except that the latter uses atomic RMWs, which are more
expensive; stat changes happen at around the same rate. In a sparse
file test (page faults and reclaim at maximum CPU speed) with 5 cgroup
nesting levels, perf shows __mod_memcg_page state at ~1%.

These are getting too big to be inlined in every callsite. They were
stolen from vmstat.c, which already out-of-lines them, and they have
only been growing since. The callsites aren't that hot, either.
Move __mod_memcg_state()
__mod_lruvec_state() and
__count_memcg_events() out of line and add kerneldoc comments.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: memory.stat cost & correctness".
The cgroup memory.stat file holds recursive statistics for the entire
subtree. The current implementation does this tree walk on-demand
whenever the file is read. This is giving us problems in production.
1. The cost of aggregating the statistics on-demand is high. A lot of
system service cgroups are mostly idle and their stats don't change
between reads, yet we always have to check them. There are also always
some lazily-dying cgroups sitting around that are pinned by a handful
of remaining page cache; the same applies to them.
In an application that periodically monitors memory.stat in our
fleet, we have seen the aggregation consume up to 5% CPU time.
2. When cgroups die and disappear from the cgroup tree, so do their
accumulated vm events. The result is that the event counters at
higher-level cgroups can go backwards and confuse some of our
automation, let alone people looking at the graphs over time.
To address both issues, this patch series changes the stat
implementation to spill counts upwards when the counters change.
The upward spilling is batched using the existing per-cpu cache. In a
sparse file stress test with 5 level cgroup nesting, the additional cost
of the flushing was negligible (a little under 1% of CPU at 100% CPU
utilization, compared to the 5% of reading memory.stat during regular
operation).
This patch (of 4):
memcg_page_state(), lruvec_page_state(), memcg_sum_events() are
currently returning the state of the local memcg or lruvec, not the
recursive state.
In practice there is a demand for both versions, although the callers
that want the recursive counts currently sum them up by hand.
Per default, cgroups are considered recursive entities and generally we
expect more users of the recursive counters, with the local counts being
special cases. To reflect that in the name, add a _local suffix to the
current implementations.
The following patch will re-incarnate these functions with recursive
semantics, but with an O(1) implementation.

I spent literally an hour trying to work out why an earlier version of
my memory.events aggregation code doesn't work properly, only to find
out I was calling memcg->events instead of memcg->memory_events, which
is fairly confusing.
This naming seems in need of reworking, so make it harder to do the
wrong thing by using vmevents instead of events, which makes it more
clear that these are vm counters rather than memcg-specific counters.
There are also a few other inconsistent names in both the percpu and
aggregated structs, so these are all cleaned up to be more coherent and

The semantics of what mincore() considers to be resident is not
completely clear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when
mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page
cache".
That's potentially a problem, as that [in]directly exposes
meta-information about pagecache / memory mapping state even about
memory not strictly belonging to the process executing the syscall,
opening possibilities for sidechannel attacks.
Change the semantics of mincore() so that it only reveals pagecache
information for non-anonymous mappings that belog to files that the
calling process could (if it tried to) successfully open for writing;
otherwise we'd be including shared non-exclusive mappings, which
- is the sidechannel
- is not the usecase for mincore(), as that's primarily used for data,
not (shared) text

When freeing a page with an order >= shuffle_page_order randomly select
the front or back of the list for insertion.
While the mm tries to defragment physical pages into huge pages this can
tend to make the page allocator more predictable over time. Inject the
front-back randomness to preserve the initial randomness established by
shuffle_free_memory() when the kernel was booted.
The overhead of this manipulation is constrained by only being applied
for MAX_ORDER sized pages by default.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10.
This patch (of 3):
Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of
a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform
capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC
(high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In
that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to
higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going
to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in
front of higher latency persistent memory [1].
Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux
interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here:
It's been a problem in the HPC space:
http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/
A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software
and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com
Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but
also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance
more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible
to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing
users to deploy remedies like:
"To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream
measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job;
nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth
falls below 300 GB/s."
A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f
("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this
numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized
("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and
disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance.
However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts
are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate
time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server
platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case.
The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a
workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance
degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to
excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the
valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance.
Here are some performance impact details of the patches:
1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a
3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts.
The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an
instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized
numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they
would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes
without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted
unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node.
2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap
size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8%
for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With
randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%.
3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in
cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with
randomization in one case.
4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization
enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some
improvements and some losses [3].
While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that
depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance
may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the
shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped
memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0
parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems.
Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially
security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and
return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the
location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially
early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for
physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first
onlined.
Quoting Kees:
"While we already have a base-address randomization
(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and
memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of
allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't
important: only the relative positions between allocated memory).
This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain
control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc.
I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar
to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator."
While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab
caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated.
However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to
quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization.
Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform
a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they
are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do
this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line
parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a
follow-on patch).
The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free
pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10,
4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling.
MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator
while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the
expectation that the security implications of finer granularity
randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The
performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to
other memory initialization work.
This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is
introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to
ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to
the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process
putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together,
page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As
more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high
page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant
impact to the cache conflict rate.

vmap_lazy_nr variable has atomic_t type that is 4 bytes integer value on
both 32 and 64 bit systems. lazy_max_pages() deals with "unsigned long"
that is 8 bytes on 64 bit system, thus vmap_lazy_nr should be 8 bytes on
64 bit as well.

Commit 763b218ddfaf ("mm: add preempt points into __purge_vmap_area_lazy()")
introduced some preempt points, one of those is making an allocation
more prioritized over lazy free of vmap areas.
Prioritizing an allocation over freeing does not work well all the time,
i.e. it should be rather a compromise.
1) Number of lazy pages directly influences the busy list length thus
on operations like: allocation, lookup, unmap, remove, etc.
2) Under heavy stress of vmalloc subsystem I run into a situation when
memory usage gets increased hitting out_of_memory -> panic state due to
completely blocking of logic that frees vmap areas in the
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() function.
Establish a threshold passing which the freeing is prioritized back over
allocation creating a balance between each other.
Using vmalloc test driver in "stress mode", i.e. When all available
test cases are run simultaneously on all online CPUs applying a
pressure on the vmalloc subsystem, my HiKey 960 board runs out of
memory due to the fact that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() logic simply is
not able to free pages in time.
How I run it:
1) You should build your kernel with CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC=m
2) ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/test_vmalloc.sh stress
During this test "vmap_lazy_nr" pages will go far beyond acceptable
lazy_max_pages() threshold, that will lead to enormous busy list size
and other problems including allocation time and so on.

Since 0cbe3e26abe0 ("mm: update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take
vm_area_struct as arg") the only place that uses the local 'mm' variable
in change_pte_range() is the call to set_pte_at().
Many architectures define set_pte_at() as macro that does not use the 'mm'
parameter, which generates the following compilation warning:
CC mm/mprotect.o
mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range':
mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable]
struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm;
^~
Fix it by passing vma->mm to set_pte_at() and dropping the local 'mm'
variable in change_pte_range().

Most architectures do not need the memblock memory after the page
allocator is initialized, but only few enable ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK in the
arch Kconfig.
Replacing ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK with ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and inverting the
logic makes it clear which architectures actually use memblock after
system initialization and skips the necessity to add ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK
to the architectures that are still missing that option.

Continuing discussion about 58b6e5e8f1ad ("hugetlbfs: fix memory leak for
resv_map") brought up the issue that inode->i_mapping may not point to the
address space embedded within the inode at inode eviction time. The
hugetlbfs truncate routine handles this by explicitly using inode->i_data.
However, code cleaning up the resv_map will still use the address space
pointed to by inode->i_mapping. Luckily, private_data is NULL for address
spaces in all such cases today but, there is no guarantee this will
continue.
Change all hugetlbfs code getting a resv_map pointer to explicitly get it
from the address space embedded within the inode. In addition, add more
comments in the code to indicate why this is being done.

Now that we are not using page address in handles directly, we can make
z3fold pages movable to decrease the memory fragmentation z3fold may
create over time.
This patch starts advertising non-headless z3fold pages as movable and
uses the existing kernel infrastructure to implement moving of such pages
per memory management subsystem's request. It thus implements 3 required
callbacks for page migration:
* isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by
removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and
mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was
successful or false otherwise
* migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical
conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the
memory subsystem. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise
* putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if
z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with
-EAGAIN code).

For z3fold to be able to move its pages per request of the memory
subsystem, it should not use direct object addresses in handles. Instead,
it will create abstract handles (3 per page) which will contain pointers
to z3fold objects. Thus, it will be possible to change these pointers
when z3fold page is moved.

The current z3fold implementation only searches this CPU's page lists for
a fitting page to put a new object into. This patch adds quick search for
very well fitting pages (i. e. those having exactly the required number
of free space) on other CPUs too, before allocating a new page for that
object.

Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2.
This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy
search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from
the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address
in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will
contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of
that structure will be used as handles.
Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect
page migration.
To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented:
1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page
by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and
mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was
successful or false otherwise
2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical
conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the
system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise
3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if
z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with
-EAGAIN code).
To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented
in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction,
if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other
case.
Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption
increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is
included in this patchset.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2
smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the
pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

Add 2 new Kconfig variables that are not used by anyone. I check that
various make ARCH=somearch allmodconfig do work and do not complain. This
new Kconfig needs to be added first so that device drivers that depend on
HMM can be updated.
Once drivers are updated then I can update the HMM Kconfig to depend on
this new Kconfig in a followup patch.
This is about solving Kconfig for HMM given that device driver are
going through their own tree we want to avoid changing them from the mm
tree. So plan is:
1 - Kernel release N add the new Kconfig to mm/Kconfig (this patch)
2 - Kernel release N+1 update driver to depend on new Kconfig ie
stop using ARCH_HASH_HMM and start using ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR
and ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE (one or the other or both depending
on the driver)
3 - Kernel release N+2 remove ARCH_HASH_HMM and do final Kconfig
update in mm/Kconfig

Patch series "mm: Use vm_map_pages() and vm_map_pages_zero() API", v5.
This patch (of 5):
Previouly drivers have their own way of mapping range of kernel
pages/memory into user vma and this was done by invoking vm_insert_page()
within a loop.
As this pattern is common across different drivers, it can be generalized
by creating new functions and using them across the drivers.
vm_map_pages() is the API which can be used to map kernel memory/pages in
drivers which have considered vm_pgoff
vm_map_pages_zero() is the API which can be used to map a range of kernel
memory/pages in drivers which have not considered vm_pgoff. vm_pgoff is
passed as default 0 for those drivers.
We _could_ then at a later "fix" these drivers which are using
vm_map_pages_zero() to behave according to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting
simply by removing the _zero suffix on the function name and if that
causes regressions, it gives us an easy way to revert.
Tested on Rockchip hardware and display is working, including talking to
Lima via prime.

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.
Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:
...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
config FOO
bool
config FOO
bool
default n
With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.

With the default overcommit==guess we occasionally run into mmap
rejections despite plenty of memory that would get dropped under
pressure but just isn't accounted reclaimable. One example of this is
dying cgroups pinned by some page cache. A previous case was auxiliary
path name memory associated with dentries; we have since annotated
those allocations to avoid overcommit failures (see d79f7aa496fc ("mm:
treat indirectly reclaimable memory as free in overcommit logic")).
But trying to classify all allocated memory reliably as reclaimable
and unreclaimable is a bit of a fool's errand. There could be a myriad
of dependencies that constantly change with kernel versions.
It becomes even more questionable of an effort when considering how
this estimate of available memory is used: it's not compared to the
system-wide allocated virtual memory in any way. It's not even
compared to the allocating process's address space. It's compared to
the single allocation request at hand!
So we have an elaborate left-hand side of the equation that tries to
assess the exact breathing room the system has available down to a
page - and then compare it to an isolated allocation request with no
additional context. We could fail an allocation of N bytes, but for
two allocations of N/2 bytes we'd do this elaborate dance twice in a
row and then still let N bytes of virtual memory through. This doesn't
make a whole lot of sense.
Let's take a step back and look at the actual goal of the
heuristic. From the documentation:
Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address
space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a
seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to
reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slightly more
memory in this mode. This is the default.
If all we want to do is catch clearly bogus allocation requests
irrespective of the general virtual memory situation, the physical
memory counter-part doesn't need to be that complicated, either.
When in GUESS mode, catch wild allocations by comparing their request
size to total amount of ram and swap in the system.

All callers of arch_remove_memory() ignore errors. And we should really
try to remove any errors from the memory removal path. No more errors are
reported from __remove_pages(). BUG() in s390x code in case
arch_remove_memory() is triggered. We may implement that properly later.
WARN in case powerpc code failed to remove the section mapping, which is
better than ignoring the error completely right now.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Better error handling when removing
memory", v1.
Error handling when removing memory is somewhat messed up right now. Some
errors result in warnings, others are completely ignored. Memory unplug
code can essentially not deal with errors properly as of now.
remove_memory() will never fail.
We have basically two choices:
1. Allow arch_remov_memory() and friends to fail, propagating errors via
remove_memory(). Might be problematic (e.g. DIMMs consisting of multiple
pieces added/removed separately).
2. Don't allow the functions to fail, handling errors in a nicer way.
It seems like most errors that can theoretically happen are really corner
cases and mostly theoretical (e.g. "section not valid"). However e.g.
aborting removal of sections while all callers simply continue in case of
errors is not nice.
If we can gurantee that removal of memory always works (and WARN/skip in
case of theoretical errors so we can figure out what is going on), we can
go ahead and implement better error handling when adding memory.
E.g. via add_memory():
arch_add_memory()
ret = do_stuff()
if (ret) {
arch_remove_memory();
goto error;
}
Handling here that arch_remove_memory() might fail is basically
impossible. So I suggest, let's avoid reporting errors while removing
memory, warning on theoretical errors instead and continuing instead of
aborting.
This patch (of 4):
__add_pages() doesn't add the memory resource, so __remove_pages()
shouldn't remove it. Let's factor it out. Especially as it is a special
case for memory used as system memory, added via add_memory() and friends.
We now remove the resource after removing the sections instead of doing it
the other way around. I don't think this change is problematic.
add_memory()
register memory resource
arch_add_memory()
remove_memory
arch_remove_memory()
release memory resource
While at it, explain why we ignore errors and that it only happeny if
we remove memory in a different granularity as we added it.

arch_add_memory, __add_pages take a want_memblock which controls whether
the newly added memory should get the sysfs memblock user API (e.g.
ZONE_DEVICE users do not want/need this interface). Some callers even
want to control where do we allocate the memmap from by configuring
altmap.
Add a more generic hotplug context for arch_add_memory and __add_pages.
struct mhp_restrictions contains flags which contains additional features
to be enabled by the memory hotplug (MHP_MEMBLOCK_API currently) and
altmap for alternative memmap allocator.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being
offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on
the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently
the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked
as vmemmap won't be isolated.
Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on
__offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value.
check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn
range.
While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages
and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

Add yet another iterator, for_each_free_mem_range_in_zone_from, and then
use it to support initializing and freeing pages in groups no larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. By doing this we can greatly improve the cache
locality of the pages while we do several loops over them in the init and
freeing process.
We are able to tighten the loops further as a result of the "from"
iterator as we can perform the initial checks for first_init_pfn in our
first call to the iterator, and continue without the need for those checks
via the "from" iterator. I have added this functionality in the function
called deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone that primes the iterator and
causes us to exit if we encounter any failure.
On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction
in initialization time from 1.85s to 1.38s as a result of this patch.

Introduce a new iterator for_each_free_mem_pfn_range_in_zone.
This iterator will take care of making sure a given memory range provided
is in fact contained within a zone. It takes are of all the bounds
checking we were doing in deferred_grow_zone, and deferred_init_memmap.
In addition it should help to speed up the search a bit by iterating until
the end of a range is greater than the start of the zone pfn range, and
will exit completely if the start is beyond the end of the zone.

As best as I can tell the meminit_pfn_in_nid call is completely redundant.
The deferred memory initialization is already making use of
for_each_free_mem_range which in turn will call into __next_mem_range
which will only return a memory range if it matches the node ID provided
assuming it is not NUMA_NO_NODE.
I am operating on the assumption that there are no zones or pgdata_t
structures that have a NUMA node of NUMA_NO_NODE associated with them. If
that is the case then __next_mem_range will never return a memory range
that doesn't match the zone's node ID and as such the check is redundant.
So one piece I would like to verify on this is if this works for ia64.
Technically it was using a different approach to get the node ID, but it
seems to have the node ID also encoded into the memblock. So I am
assuming this is okay, but would like to get confirmation on that.
On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction
in initialization time from 2.80s to 1.85s as a result of this patch.

We have the pra.mapcount already, and there is no need to call the

Recently I messed up the error handling in filemap_fault() because of an
unexpected ENOMEM (related to cgroup memory limits) in add_to_page_cache.
Enable error injection at this point so I can add a testcase to xfstests
to verify I don't mess this up again.
