In commit 2f1ee0913c ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in
page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to
avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page
allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized
early.
This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve
this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved
up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be
disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic
problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is
useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same
right after different kernel booting.

It seems unnecessary to search pages with order < alloc_order in
fallback allocation.
This can currently happen with ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT and alloc_order >
pageblock_order, so add a test to prevent it.

Patrick Daly reported the following problem;
NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation
[0] - ZONE_MOVABLE
[1] - ZONE_NORMAL
[2] - NULL
For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the
offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent
memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE,
build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update
node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added.
NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation
[0] - ZONE_NORMAL
[1] - NULL
[2] - NULL
The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory
hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The
allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is
now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill.
This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger
due to 6aa303defb ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones
with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between
zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages
not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning
etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations
around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone
span updates. As David Hildenbrand puts it
memory offlining adjusts managed+present pages of the zone
essentially in one go. If after the adjustments, the zone is no
longer populated (present==0), we rebuild the zone lists.
Once that's done, we try shrinking the zone (start+spanned
pages) -- which results in zone_start_pfn == 0 if there are no
more pages. That happens *after* rebuilding the zonelists via
remove_pfn_range_from_zone().
The only requirement to fix the race is that a page allocation request
identifies when a zonelist rebuild has happened since the allocation
request started and no page has yet been allocated. Use a seqlock_t to
track zonelist updates with a lockless read-side of the zonelist and
protecting the rebuild and update of the counter with a spinlock.

We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page
tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node,
per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory
is used by the kernel and for what purposes.
Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those
kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages
used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account
for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables).
KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page
tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations
scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory
assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale
linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use.
From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's
per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something
bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is
forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest
isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either
understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to
go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats.
Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE
is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB,
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order
of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least
prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types,
and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations.
The original discussion with more details about the rationale:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org
This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu
memory usage.

There was a report that a task is waiting at the
throttle_direct_reclaim. The pgscan_direct_throttle in vmstat was
increasing.
This is a bug where zone_watermark_fast returns true even when the free
is very low. The commit f27ce0e140 ("page_alloc: consider highatomic
reserve in watermark fast") changed the watermark fast to consider
highatomic reserve. But it did not handle a negative value case which
can be happened when reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than the
actual free.
If watermark is considered as ok for the negative value, allocating
contexts for order-0 will consume all free pages without direct reclaim,
and finally free page may become depleted except highatomic free.
Then allocating contexts may fall into throttle_direct_reclaim. This
symptom may easily happen in a system where wmark min is low and other
reclaimers like kswapd does not make free pages quickly.
Handle the negative case by using MIN.

struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be
drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock
works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU
local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU
concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst)
local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is
accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption
point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and
accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the
task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT.
Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the
per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to
local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a
complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in
theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there
was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee
that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use
get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid
accidentally allocating remote memory.

Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, are too busy to handle the per-cpu
drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). So introduce a new mechanism to
remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking
'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. A benefit of this new
scheme is that drain operations are now migration safe.
There was no observed performance degradation vs. the previous scheme.
Both netperf and hackbench were run in parallel to triggering the
__drain_all_pages(NULL, true) code path around ~100 times per second. The
new scheme performs a bit better (~5%), although the important point here
is there are no performance regressions vs. the previous mechanism.
Per-cpu lists draining happens only in slow paths.
Minchan Kim tested an earlier version and reported;
My workload is not NOHZ CPUs but run apps under heavy memory
pressure so they goes to direct reclaim and be stuck on

From traces, system encountered the drain_all_pages 1283 times and
worst case was 166ms and avg was 487us.
The other problem was alloc_contig_range in CMA. The PCP draining
takes several hundred millisecond sometimes though there is no
memory pressure or a few of pages to be migrated out but CPU were
fully booked.
Your patch perfectly removed those wasted time.

Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to
prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote
draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every
task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is
expensive.
As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the
lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used
because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock
is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be
replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed.
The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after
this patch relative to before the series.
struct per_cpu_pages {
spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */
int count; /* 4 4 */
int high; /* 8 4 */
int batch; /* 12 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */
short int expire; /* 18 2 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */
/* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* padding: 24 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even
though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case. Page

The per_cpu_pages is cache-aligned on a standard x86-64 distribution
configuration but a later patch will add a new field which would push the
structure into the next cache line. Use only one list to store THP-sized
pages on the per-cpu list. This assumes that the vast majority of
THP-sized allocations are GFP_MOVABLE but even if it was another type, it
would not contribute to serious fragmentation that potentially causes a
later THP allocation failure. Align per_cpu_pages on the cacheline
boundary to ensure there is no false cache sharing.
After this patch, the structure sizing is;
struct per_cpu_pages {
int count; /* 0 4 */
int high; /* 4 4 */
int batch; /* 8 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 12 2 */
short int expire; /* 14 2 */

/* padding: 32 */

Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5.
Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or
latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to
per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new
mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by
remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has
two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated
tasks are not interrupted.
This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote
per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task
due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads
can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running
on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is
non-deterministic.
Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu
lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling
protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page
allocation is in progress.
This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct
per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is
ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows
a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave
to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most
cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is
relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any
problems.
Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages
and when it is storing per-cpu pages.
Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking
this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another
cache line.
Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication.
Patch 4 is a minor correction.
Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still
relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp
lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy.
Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue.
Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining
This patch (of 7):
The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP
lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with
page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in
the page allocator.
No functional change intended.

argument can be made about unpoisoning, so also add
__GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON to user pages. To ensure the user page is
still accessible via page_address() without a kasan fault, reset the

prevent swapping or OOM of system that not use swap.
And we need to reserve some page cache to prevent swapping or thrashing.
If somebody is accessing the pages in pagecache, and if too much would be
freed, most accesses might mean reading data from disk, i.e. thrashing.

CMA area or not rather than exact migration type. Thus, we don't need
zone->lock but just checks migration type in either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE

Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause rejecting
of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even though it's neither
CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily unmovable. However, such
a migration failure by unexpected temporal refcount holding is general
issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also

Peter Pavlisko reported the following problem on kernel bugzilla 216007.
When I try to extract an uncompressed tar archive (2.6 milion
files, 760.3 GiB in size) on newly created (empty) XFS file system,
after first low tens of gigabytes extracted the process hangs in
iowait indefinitely. One CPU core is 100% occupied with iowait,
the other CPU core is idle (on 2-core Intel Celeron G1610T).
It was bisected to c9fa563072 ("xfs: use alloc_pages_bulk_array() for
buffers") but XFS is only the messenger. The problem is that nothing is
waking kswapd to reclaim some pages at a time the PCP lists cannot be
refilled until some reclaim happens. The bulk allocator checks that there
are some pages in the array and the original intent was that a bulk
allocator did not necessarily need all the requested pages and it was best
to return as quickly as possible.
This was fine for the first user of the API but both NFS and XFS require
the requested number of pages be available before making progress. Both
could be adjusted to call the page allocator directly if a bulk allocation
fails but it puts a burden on users of the API. Adjust the semantics to
attempt at least one allocation via __alloc_pages() before returning so
kswapd is woken if necessary.
It was reported via bugzilla that the patch addressed the problem and that
the tar extraction completed successfully. This may also address bug
215975 but has yet to be confirmed.

In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there
are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when
isolating a page range. This is reported by Qian Cai.
1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype
without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to
isolate pageblock properly.
2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page
is not crossing pageblock boundary.
3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the
free page later has a small race window that the free page might be
allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential
infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to
MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is
found after page migration.
An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in
__free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified
split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of
free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller
one. For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000,
free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then
0x8000, which the original algorithm did.

But for some warnings that report usage problems, we don't deal with them.
If such warnings are printed, then we should fix the usage problems.

Currently, trace point mm_page_alloc_zone_locked() doesn't show correct
information.
First, when alloc_flag has ALLOC_HARDER/ALLOC_CMA, page can be allocated
from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC/MIGRATE_CMA. Nevertheless, tracepoint use
requested migration type not MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC and MIGRATE_CMA.
Second, after commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages
to be stored on the per-cpu lists") percpu-list can store high order
pages. But trace point determine whether it is a refiil of percpu-list by
comparing requested order and 0.
To handle these problems, make mm_page_alloc_zone_locked() only be called
by __rmqueue_smallest with correct migration type. With a new argument
called percpu_refill, it can show roughly whether it is a refill of
percpu-list.

Patch series "Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range alignment", v11.
This patchset tries to remove the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA
and alloc_contig_range(). It prepares for my upcoming changes to make
MAX_ORDER adjustable at boot time[1].
The MAX_ORDER - 1 alignment requirement comes from that
alloc_contig_range() isolates pageblocks to remove free memory from buddy
allocator but isolating only a subset of pageblocks within a page spanning
across multiple pageblocks causes free page accounting issues. Isolated
page might not be put into the right free list, since the code assumes the
migratetype of the first pageblock as the whole free page migratetype.
This is based on the discussion at [2].
To remove the requirement, this patchset:
1. isolates pages at pageblock granularity instead of
max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAEGS, pageblock_nr_pages);
2. splits free pages across the specified range or migrates in-use pages
across the specified range then splits the freed page to avoid free page
accounting issues (it happens when multiple pageblocks within a single page
have different migratetypes);
3. only checks unmovable pages within the range instead of MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned
range during isolation to avoid alloc_contig_range() failure when pageblocks
within a MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range are allocated separately.
4. returns pages not in the range as it did before.
One optimization might come later:
1. make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a separate bit to be able to restore the original
migratetypes when isolation fails in the middle of the range.

of calling node_dirty_ok(), the last node that hit the dirty limit can be
cached.
Instead of caching the node, caching both the node and its node_dirty_ok()

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".
Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.
This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.
Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This
series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and
->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements.
There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.

Currently memmap_init_zone_device() ends up initializing 32768 pages when
it only needs to initialize 128 given tail page reuse. That number is
worse with 1GB compound pages, 262144 instead of 128. Update
memmap_init_zone_device() to skip redundant initialization, detailed
below.
When a pgmap @vmemmap_shift is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge
page alignment and use compound pages to describe them as opposed to a
struct per 4K.
With @vmemmap_shift > 0 and when struct pages are stored in ram (!altmap)
most tail pages are reused. Consequently, the amount of unique struct
pages is a lot smaller than the total amount of struct pages being mapped.
The altmap path is left alone since it does not support memory savings
based on compound pages devmap.

To make node order in round-robin in the same distance group, we add a
penalty to the first node we got in each round.
To get a round-robin order in the same distance group, we don't need to
decrease the penalty since:
* find_next_best_node() always iterates node in the same order
* distance matters more then penalty in find_next_best_node()
* in nodes with the same distance, the first one would be picked up
So it is fine to increase same penalty when we get the first node in the
same distance group. Since we just increase a constance of 1 to node
penalty, it is not necessary to multiply MAX_NODE_LOAD for preference.

Since commit 6aa303defb ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from
zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") only zones with free
memory are included in a built zonelist. This is problematic when e.g.
all memory of a zone has been ballooned out when zonelists are being
rebuilt.
The decision whether to rebuild the zonelists when onlining new memory
is done based on populated_zone() returning 0 for the zone the memory
will be added to. The new zone is added to the zonelists only, if it
has free memory pages (managed_zone() returns a non-zero value) after
the memory has been onlined. This implies, that onlining memory will
always free the added pages to the allocator immediately, but this is
not true in all cases: when e.g. running as a Xen guest the onlined new
memory will be added only to the ballooned memory list, it will be freed
only when the guest is being ballooned up afterwards.
Another problem with using managed_zone() for the decision whether a
zone is being added to the zonelists is, that a zone with all memory
used will in fact be removed from all zonelists in case the zonelists
happen to be rebuilt.
Use populated_zone() when building a zonelist as it has been done before
that commit.
There was a report that QubesOS (based on Xen) is hitting this problem.
Xen has switched to use the zone device functionality in kernel 5.9 and
QubesOS wants to use memory hotplugging for guests in order to be able
to start a guest with minimal memory and expand it as needed. This was
the report leading to the patch.

Add a new GFP flag __GFP_SKIP_ZERO that allows to skip memory
initialization. The flag is only effective with HW_TAGS KASAN.
This flag will be used by vmalloc code for page_alloc allocations backing
vmalloc() mappings in a following patch. The reason to skip memory
initialization for these pages in page_alloc is because vmalloc code will
be initializing them instead.
With the current implementation, when __GFP_SKIP_ZERO is provided,
__GFP_ZEROTAGS is ignored. This doesn't matter, as these two flags are
never provided at the same time. However, if this is changed in the
future, this particular implementation detail can be changed as well.

Rework the checks around kasan_unpoison_pages() call in post_alloc_hook().
The logical condition for calling this function is:
- If a software KASAN mode is enabled, we need to mark shadow memory.
- Otherwise, HW_TAGS KASAN is enabled, and it only makes sense to set
tags if they haven't already been cleared by tag_clear_highpage(),
which is indicated by init_tags.
This patch concludes the changes for post_alloc_hook().

Since commit 7a3b835371 ("kasan: use separate (un)poison implementation
for integrated init"), when all init, kasan_has_integrated_init(), and
skip_kasan_poison are true, free_pages_prepare() doesn't initialize the
page. This is wrong.
Fix it by remembering whether kasan_poison_pages() performed
initialization, and call kernel_init_free_pages() if it didn't.
Reordering kasan_poison_pages() and kernel_init_free_pages() is OK, since
kernel_init_free_pages() can handle poisoned memory.

Currently, kernel_init_free_pages() serves two purposes: it either only
zeroes memory or zeroes both memory and memory tags via a different code
path. As this function has only two callers, each using only one code
path, this behaviour is confusing.

Patch series "kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS", v6.
This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS
KASAN modes.
About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of them
seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided not to
split them out into separate patches/series.
The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS
patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a
Co-developed-by tag into a few patches.
SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of the
generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags instead of
magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding a few
kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code.
HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on Arm
MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result, HW_TAGS
KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by page_alloc
memory. It ignores vmap() and others.
This patch (of 39):
Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not.
Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper
and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition.
Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all
conditions in the comment.

When a !node_online node is brought up it needs a hotplug specific
initialization because the node could be either uninitialized yet or it
could have been recycled after previous hotremove. hotadd_init_pgdat is
responsible for that.
Internal pgdat state is initialized at two places currently
- hotadd_init_pgdat
- free_area_init_core_hotplug
There is no real clear cut what should go where but this patch's chosen to
move the whole internal state initialization into
free_area_init_core_hotplug. hotadd_init_pgdat is still responsible to
pull all the parts together - most notably to initialize zonelists because
those depend on the overall topology.
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an
allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is
that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated.
NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g.
x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see
init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be
cpuless for example.
One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes
when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node.
That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it
doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users.
This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre
allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code -
free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes.
node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other
side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past
discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting
that.
Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of
the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat
(renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat).
generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because
neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all
pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can
use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is
ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.

Eric Dumazet pointed out that commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow
high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists") only checks the
head page during PCP refill and allocation operations. This was an
oversight and all pages should be checked. This will incur a small
performance penalty but it's necessary for correctness.

For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the
costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs
masked.
This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone
spinlock contention.
Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before
deciding to leak the page because it is in bad state.

When page allocation in direct reclaim path fails, the system will make
one attempt to shrink per-cpu page lists and free pages from high alloc
reserves. Draining per-cpu pages into buddy allocator can be a very
slow operation because it's done using workqueues and the task in direct
reclaim waits for all of them to finish before proceeding. Currently
this time is not accounted as psi memory stall.
While testing mobile devices under extreme memory pressure, when
allocations are failing during direct reclaim, we notices that psi
events which would be expected in such conditions were not triggered.
After profiling these cases it was determined that the reason for
missing psi events was that a big chunk of time spent in direct reclaim
is not accounted as memory stall, therefore psi would not reach the
levels at which an event is generated. Further investigation revealed
that the bulk of that unaccounted time was spent inside drain_all_pages
call.
A typical captured case when drain_all_pages path gets activated:
__alloc_pages_slowpath took 44.644.613ns
__perform_reclaim took 751.668ns (1.7%)
drain_all_pages took 43.887.167ns (98.3%)
PSI in this case records the time spent in __perform_reclaim but ignores
drain_all_pages, IOW it misses 98.3% of the time spent in
__alloc_pages_slowpath.
Annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in its entirety so that delays
from handling page allocation failure in the direct reclaim path are
accounted as memory stall.

On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA
nodes could be allocated at three different places.
- numa_register_memblks
- init_cpu_to_node
- init_gi_nodes
All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order:
setup_arch
...
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks
...
init_cpu_to_node
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have
memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds. Later on, when
we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and
init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that
have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t
struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE.
So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized
numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in
free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following:
setup_arch
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node
x86_init.paging.pagetable_init
...
free_area_init
free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node
init_cpu_to_node
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator
free_area_init_memoryless_node
free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but
init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they
go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything,
meaning we end up allocating twice.
It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where
memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity.
So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online.
Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the
chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling
__try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in
bus_add_device(). As can be seen here:

The reason is simple, by the time bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets called, we
did not register the node_subsys bus yet, so we crash when
bus_add_device() tries to dereference bus()->p.
The following shows the order of the calls:
kernel_init_freeable
smp_init
bringup_nonboot_cpus
...
bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet
do_basic_setup
do_initcalls
postcore_initcall(register_node_type);
register_node_type
subsys_system_register
subsys_register
bus_register <- register node_subsys bus
Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because
__try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not
end up calling register_one_node() in the first place.
This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about
how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for
the leaking memory issue.

free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since
commit 0a5f4e5b45 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when
picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists
until the zone lock is held.
As the list processing now takes place under the zone lock, it's less
clear that this will always benefit for two reasons.
1. There is a guaranteed cost to calculating the buddy which definitely
has to be calculated again. However, as the zone lock is held and
there is no deferring of buddy merging, there is no guarantee that the
prefetch will have completed when the second buddy calculation takes
place and buddies are being merged. With or without the prefetch, there
may be further stalls depending on how many pages get merged. In other
words, a stall due to merging is inevitable and at best only one stall
might be avoided at the cost of calculating the buddy location twice.
2. As the zone lock is held, prefetch_nr makes less sense as once
prefetch_nr expires, the cache lines of interest have already been
merged.
The main concern is that there is a definite cost to calculating the
buddy location early for the prefetch and it is a "maybe win" depending
on whether the CPU prefetch logic and memory is fast enough. Remove the
prefetch logic on the basis that reduced instructions in a path is
always a saving where as the prefetch might save one memory stall
depending on the CPU and memory.
In most cases, this has marginal benefit as the calculations are a small
part of the overall freeing of pages. However, it was detectable on at
least one machine.

When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on
PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation
pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another
resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit
the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists.
Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not
matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches
where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse. Pages
freed directly to the buddy list may be reused quickly while still cache
hot where as storing on the PCP lists may be cold by the time
free_pcppages_bulk() is called.
Using perf kmem:mm_page_alloc, the 5 most used page frames were

The spread is wider as there is still time before pages freed to one PCP
get released with a tradeoff between fast reuse and reduced zone lock
acquisition.
On the machine used to gather the traces, the headline performance was
equivalent.

Note that this was a machine that did not benefit from caching high-order
pages and performance is almost restored with the series applied. It's
not fully restored as cache misses are still higher. This is a trade-off
between optimising for a workload that does all allocs on one CPU and
frees on another or more general workloads that need high-order pages for
SLUB and benefit from avoiding zone->lock for every SLUB refill/drain.

Prior to the series, pindex 0 (order-0 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE) was always
skipped first and the precise reason is forgotten. A potential reason
may have been to artificially preserve MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE but there is no
reason why that would be optimal as it depends on the workload. The
more likely reason is that it was less complicated to do a pre-increment
instead of a post-increment in terms of overall code flow. As
free_pcppages_bulk() now typically receives the pindex of the PCP list
that exceeded high, always start draining that list.

free_pcppages_bulk() selects pages to free by round-robining between
lists. Originally this was to evenly shrink pages by migratetype but
uneven freeing is inevitable due to high pages. Simplify list selection
by starting with a list that definitely has pages on it in
free_unref_page_commit() and for drain, it does not matter where
draining starts as all pages are removed.

free_pcppages_bulk() frees pages in a round-robin fashion. Originally,
this was dealing only with migratetypes but storing high-order pages
means that there can be many more empty lists that are uselessly
checked. Track the minimum and maximum active pindex to reduce the
search space.

Patch series "Follow-up on high-order PCP caching", v2.
Commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") was primarily aimed at reducing the cost of SLUB
cache refills of high-order pages in two ways. Firstly, zone lock
acquisitions was reduced and secondly, there were fewer buddy list
modifications. This is a follow-up series fixing some issues that
became apparant after merging.
Patch 1 is a functional fix. It's harmless but inefficient.
Patches 2-5 reduce the overhead of bulk freeing of PCP pages. While the
overhead is small, it's cumulative and noticable when truncating large
files. The changelog for patch 4 includes results of a microbench that
deletes large sparse files with data in page cache. Sparse files were
used to eliminate filesystem overhead.
Patch 6 addresses issues with high-order PCP pages being stored on PCP
lists for too long. Pages freed on a CPU potentially may not be quickly
reused and in some cases this can increase cache miss rates. Details
are included in the changelog.
This patch (of 6):
free_pcppages_bulk() prefetches buddies about to be freed but the order
must also be passed in as PCP lists store multiple orders.

ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node. Its starting pfn
is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. It is possible for the remaining
memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is
not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node.
Unfortunately this condition is not checked for. This leads to
zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a
node.
calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater
than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents
the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes.
Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of
size zero with present pages. In this case it will skip setting up the
zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[].
However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has
memory available. This is used by iterators such as
walk_zones_in_node(). pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the
free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised
due to the zone not being empty.
As free_area_init_core() never initialised the free_lists[] this results
in the following kernel crash when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo:

Commit 9983a9d577 ("locking/local_lock: Make the empty local_lock_*()
function a macro.") in the -tip tree converted the local_lock_*()
functions into macros, which causes a warning with clang with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n + CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n:
mm/page_alloc.c:131:40: error: variable 'pagesets' is not needed and will not be emitted [-Werror,-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct pagesets, pagesets) = {
^
1 error generated.
Prior to that change, clang was not able to tell that pagesets was
unused in this configuration because it does not perform cross function
analysis in the frontend. After that change, it sees that the macros
just do a typecheck on the lock member of pagesets, which is evaluated
at compile time (so the variable is technically "used"), meaning the
variable is not needed in the final assembly, as the warning states.
Mark the variable as __maybe_unused to make it clear to clang that this
is expected in this configuration so there is no more warning.

Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >=
MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases:
1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order
pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work.
2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE
start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger
pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by
two zones.
3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order
>= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1]
4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default
page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the
reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone().
5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT.
pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure
optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of
gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is
demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected
setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead.
So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

This is done in addition to MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblock merge avoidance.
It prepares for the upcoming removal of the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment
requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range().
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC should not merge with other migratetypes like
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRARTE_CMA[1], so this commit prevents that too.
Remove MIGRATE_CMA and MIGRATE_ISOLATE from fallbacks list, since they
are never used.

Move compound_pincount from the third page to the second page, which
means it's available for all compound pages. That lets us delete
hpage_pincount_available().
On 32-bit systems, there isn't enough space for both compound_pincount
and compound_nr in the second page (it would collide with page->private,
which is in use for pages in the swap cache), so revert the optimisation
of storing both compound_order and compound_nr on 32-bit systems.

After recent soft-offline rework, error pages can be taken off from
buddy allocator, but the existing unpoison_memory() does not properly
undo the operation. Moreover, due to the recent change on
__get_hwpoison_page(), get_page_unless_zero() is hardly called for
hwpoisoned pages. So __get_hwpoison_page() highly likely returns -EBUSY
(meaning to fail to grab page refcount) and unpoison just clears
PG_hwpoison without releasing a refcount. That does not lead to a
critical issue like kernel panic, but unpoisoned pages never get back to
buddy (leaked permanently), which is not good.
To (partially) fix this, we need to identify "taken off" pages from
other types of hwpoisoned pages. We can't use refcount or page flags
for this purpose, so a pseudo flag is defined by hacking ->private
field. Someone might think that put_page() is enough to cancel
taken-off pages, but the normal free path contains some operations not
suitable for the current purpose, and can fire VM_BUG_ON().
Note that unpoison_memory() is now supposed to be cancel hwpoison events
injected only by madvise() or
/sys/devices/system/memory/{hard,soft}_offline_page, not by MCE
injection, so please don't try to use unpoison when testing with MCE
injection.

The above failure happened when calling kmalloc() to allocate buffer with
GFP_DMA. It requests to allocate slab page from DMA zone while no managed
pages at all in there.
sr_probe()
--> get_capabilities()
--> buffer = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);
Because in the current kernel, dma-kmalloc will be created as long as
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. However, kdump kernel of x86_64 doesn't have
managed pages on DMA zone since commit 6f599d8423 ("x86/kdump: Always
reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified"). The
failure can be always reproduced.
For now, let's mute the warning of allocation failure if requesting pages

Mem-Info:
------------------------------------
***Root cause:
In the current kernel, it assumes that DMA zone must have managed pages
and try to request pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not
always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and
locked down at very early stage of boot, so that this low 1M won't be
added into buddy allocator to become managed pages of DMA zone. This
exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested
from DMA zone.
***Investigation:
This failure happens since below commit merged into linus's tree.
1a6a9044b9 x86/setup: Remove CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW and reservelow= options
23721c8e92 x86/crash: Remove crash_reserve_low_1M()
f1d4d47c58 x86/setup: Always reserve the first 1M of RAM
7c321eb2b8 x86/kdump: Remove the backup region handling
6f599d8423 x86/kdump: Always reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified
Before them, on x86_64, the low 640K area will be reused by kdump kernel.
So in kdump kernel, the content of low 640K area is copied into a backup
region for dumping before jumping into kdump. Then except of those firmware
reserved region in [0, 640K], the left area will be added into buddy
allocator to become available managed pages of DMA zone.
However, after above commits applied, in kdump kernel of x86_64, the low
1M is reserved by memblock, but not released to buddy allocator. So any
later page allocation requested from DMA zone will fail.
At the beginning, if crashkernel is reserved, the low 1M need be locked
down because AMD SME encrypts memory making the old backup region
mechanims impossible when switching into kdump kernel.
Later, it was also observed that there are BIOSes corrupting memory
under 1M. To solve this, in commit f1d4d47c58, the entire region of
low 1M is always reserved after the real mode trampoline is allocated.
Besides, recently, Intel engineer mentioned their TDX (Trusted domain
extensions) which is under development in kernel also needs to lock down
the low 1M. So we can't simply revert above commits to fix the page allocation
failure from DMA zone as someone suggested.
***Solution:
Currently, only DMA atomic pool and dma-kmalloc will initialize and
request page allocation with GFP_DMA during bootup.
So only initializ DMA atomic pool when DMA zone has available managed
pages, otherwise just skip the initialization.
For dma-kmalloc(), for the time being, let's mute the warning of
allocation failure if requesting pages from DMA zone while no manged
pages. Meanwhile, change code to use dma_alloc_xx/dma_map_xx API to
replace kmalloc(GFP_DMA), or do not use GFP_DMA when calling kmalloc() if
not necessary. Christoph is posting patches to fix those under
drivers/scsi/. Finally, we can remove the need of dma-kmalloc() as people
suggested.
This patch (of 3):
In some places of the current kernel, it assumes that dma zone must have
managed pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always
true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked
down at very early stage of boot, so that there's no managed pages at all
in DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if
page is requested from DMA zone.
Here add function has_managed_dma() and the relevant helper functions to
check if there's DMA zone with managed pages. It will be used in later
patches.

Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed.
Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double
mapping.
When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify
that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice
versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that
this page does not have an anonymous mapping
We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed
(i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages.
Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page"
metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or
mapcount become invalid.

Add a new @vmemmap_shift property for struct dev_pagemap which specifies
that a devmap is composed of a set of compound pages of order
@vmemmap_shift, instead of base pages. When a compound page devmap is
requested, all but the first page are initialised as tail pages instead
of order-0 pages.
For certain ZONE_DEVICE users like device-dax which have a fixed page
size, this creates an opportunity to optimize GUP and GUP-fast walkers,
treating it the same way as THP or hugetlb pages.
Additionally, commit 7118fc2906 ("hugetlb: address ref count racing in
prep_compound_gigantic_page") removed set_page_count() because the
setting of page ref count to zero was redundant. devmap pages don't
come from page allocator though and only head page refcount is used for
compound pages, hence initialize tail page count to zero.

Patch series "mm, device-dax: Introduce compound pages in devmap", v7.
This series converts device-dax to use compound pages, and moves away
from the 'struct page per basepage on PMD/PUD' that is done today.
Doing so
1) unlocks a few noticeable improvements on unpin_user_pages() and
makes device-dax+altmap case 4x times faster in pinning (numbers
below and in last patch)
2) as mentioned in various other threads it's one important step
towards cleaning up ZONE_DEVICE refcounting.
I've split the compound pages on devmap part from the rest based on
recent discussions on devmap pending and future work planned[5][6].
There is consensus that device-dax should be using compound pages to
represent its PMD/PUDs just like HugeTLB and THP, and that leads to less
specialization of the dax parts. I will pursue the rest of the work in
parallel once this part is merged, particular the GUP-{slow,fast}
improvements [7] and the tail struct page deduplication memory savings
part[8].
To summarize what the series does:
Patch 1: Prepare hwpoisoning to work with dax compound pages.
Patches 2-3: Split the current utility function of prep_compound_page()
into head and tail and use those two helpers where appropriate to take
advantage of caches being warm after __init_single_page(). This is used
when initializing zone device when we bring up device-dax namespaces.
Patches 4-10: Add devmap support for compound pages in device-dax.
memmap_init_zone_device() initialize its metadata as compound pages, and
it introduces a new devmap property known as vmemmap_shift which
outlines how the vmemmap is structured (defaults to base pages as done
today). The property describe the page order of the metadata
essentially. While at it do a few cleanups in device-dax in patches
5-9. Finally enable device-dax usage of devmap @vmemmap_shift to a
value based on its own @align property. @vmemmap_shift returns 0 by
default (which is today's case of base pages in devmap, like fsdax or
the others) and the usage of compound devmap is optional. Starting with
device-dax (*not* fsdax) we enable it by default. There are a few
pinning improvements particular on the unpinning case and altmap, as
well as unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() being just as effective as
THP/hugetlb[0] pages.

Tested on x86 with 1Tb+ of pmem (alongside registering it with RDMA with
and without altmap), alongside gup_test selftests with dynamic dax
regions and static dax regions. Coupled with ndctl unit tests for
dynamic dax devices that exercise all of this. Note, for dynamic dax
regions I had to revert commit 8aa83e6395 ("x86/setup: Call
early_reserve_memory() earlier"), it is a known issue that this commit
broke efi_fake_mem=.
This patch (of 11):
Split the utility function prep_compound_page() into head and tail
counterparts, and use them accordingly.
This is in preparation for sharing the storage for compound page
metadata.

Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.
This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].
Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).
This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.
- If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
enough pages get cleaned
- If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
either reclaimed or put back on the LRU
- If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.
This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.
stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has
four types of worker.
- One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time
- X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
linear write speed of the storage.
- Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files
- Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory
- Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory
X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.
The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero
readers.
The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.
The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.
Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.
First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.
It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different. The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.
The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.
Ops Percentage direct scans 90.59 77.37
For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the

82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0
The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all. What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000
congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.
Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

------------
Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry. For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were
6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK
The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward. A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads
For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

Most did not stall at all. A small number reached the timeout.

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all. The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.
While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all. This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.
Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.
This patch (of 5):
Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:
- kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
pages can be cleaned.
- Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
inodes.
wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

When initializing transparent huge pages, min_free_kbytes would be
calculated according to what khugepaged expected.
So when transparent huge pages get disabled, min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated instead of the higher value set by khugepaged.

drain_local_pages_wq() disables preemption to avoid CPU migration during
CPU hotplug and can't use cpus_read_lock().
Using migrate_disable() works here, too. The scheduler won't take the
CPU offline until the task left the migrate-disable section. The
problem with disabled preemption here is that drain_local_pages()
acquires locks which are turned into sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT and
can't be acquired with disabled preemption.
Use migrate_disable() in drain_local_pages_wq().

If kswapd is frequently woken up due to the increase of
min/low/high_wmark_pages, printing watermark_boost can quickly locate
whether watermark_boost or _watermark[WMARK_MIN/LOW/HIGH] caused

There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset
to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node
for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due
to memory allocation failure, and then OOM is involved and many other
innocent processes got killed.
It can be reproduced with command:
$ docker run -it --rm --cpuset-mems 4 ubuntu:latest bash -c "grep Mems_allowed /proc/self/status"
(where node 4 is a movable node)

The reason is that in this case, the target cpuset nodes only have
movable zone, while the creation of an OS in docker sometimes needs to
allocate memory in non-movable zones (dma/dma32/normal) like
GFP_HIGHUSER, and the cpuset limit forbids the allocation, then
out-of-memory killing is involved even when normal nodes and movable
nodes both have many free memory.
The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no
usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope. The only reasonable
measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller
to deal with it.
So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and
bail out early returning NULL for the allocation.
As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will
hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check
and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that
the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.
[thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling
it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments]

In any case, if a caller needs a stable result, it should grab zone lock

Patch series "Fix NUMA without SMP".
SuperH is the only architecture which still supports NUMA without SMP,
for good reasons (various memories scattered around the address space,
each with varying latencies).
This series fixes two build errors due to variables and functions used
by the NUMA code being provided by SMP-only source files or sections.
This patch (of 2):
If CONFIG_NUMA=y, but CONFIG_SMP=n (e.g. sh/migor_defconfig):
sh4-linux-gnu-ld: mm/page_alloc.o: in function `get_page_from_freelist':
page_alloc.c:(.text+0x2c24): undefined reference to `node_reclaim_distance'
Fix this by moving the declaration of node_reclaim_distance from an
SMP-only to a generic file.

In build_zonelists(), when the fallback list is built for the nodes, the
node load gets reinitialized during each iteration. This results in
nodes with same distances occupying the same slot in different node
fallback lists rather than appearing in the intended round- robin
manner. This results in one node getting picked for allocation more
compared to other nodes with the same distance.
As an example, consider a 4 node system with the following distance
matrix.
Node 0 1 2 3
----------------
0 10 12 32 32
1 12 10 32 32
2 32 32 10 12
3 32 32 12 10
For this case, the node fallback list gets built like this:
Node Fallback list
---------------------
0 0 1 2 3
1 1 0 3 2
2 2 3 0 1
3 3 2 0 1 <-- Unexpected fallback order
In the fallback list for nodes 2 and 3, the nodes 0 and 1 appear in the
same order which results in more allocations getting satisfied from node
0 compared to node 1.
The effect of this on remote memory bandwidth as seen by stream
benchmark is shown below:
Case 1: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 2 & 3 to memory on nodes 0 & 1
(numactl -m 0,1 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 2, 3>)
Case 2: Bandwidth from cores on nodes 0 & 1 to memory on nodes 2 & 3
(numactl -m 2,3 ./stream_lowOverhead ... --cores <from 0, 1>)
----------------------------------------
BANDWIDTH (MB/s)
TEST Case 1 Case 2
----------------------------------------
COPY 57479.6 110791.8
SCALE 55372.9 105685.9
ADD 50460.6 96734.2
TRIADD 50397.6 97119.1
----------------------------------------
The bandwidth drop in Case 1 occurs because most of the allocations get
satisfied by node 0 as it appears first in the fallback order for both
nodes 2 and 3.
This can be fixed by accumulating the node load in build_zonelists()
rather than reinitializing it during each iteration. With this the
nodes with the same distance rightly get assigned in the round robin
manner.
In fact this was how it was originally until commit f0c0b2b808
("change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic") dropped the
load accumulation and resorted to initializing the load during each
iteration.
While zonelist ordering was removed by commit c9bff3eebc ("mm,
page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE"), the change to the node load
accumulation in build_zonelists() remained. So essentially this patch
reverts back to the accumulated node load logic.
After this fix, the fallback order gets built like this:
Node Fallback list
------------------
0 0 1 2 3
1 1 0 3 2
2 2 3 0 1
3 3 2 1 0 <-- Note the change here
The bandwidth in Case 1 improves and matches Case 2 as shown below.
----------------------------------------
BANDWIDTH (MB/s)
TEST Case 1 Case 2

SCALE 105930.5 105817.5
ADD 97005.1 96159.8
TRIADD 97441.5 96757.1
----------------------------------------
The correctness of the fallback list generation has been verified for
the above node configuration where the node 3 starts as memory-less node
and comes up online only during memory hotplug.

Patch series "Fix NUMA nodes fallback list ordering".
For a NUMA system that has multiple nodes at same distance from other
nodes, the fallback list generation prefers same node order for them
instead of round-robin thereby penalizing one node over others. This
series fixes it.
More description of the problem and the fix is present in the patch
description.
This patch (of 2):
Print information message about the allocation fallback order for each
NUMA node during boot.
No functional changes here. This makes it easier to illustrate the
problem in the node fallback list generation, which the next patch
fixes.

Merge tag 'folio-5.16' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache
Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
"Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
precise page containing a particular byte.
The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE.

When handling shmem page fault the THP with corrupted subpage could be
PMD mapped if certain conditions are satisfied. But kernel is supposed
to send SIGBUS when trying to map hwpoisoned page.
There are two paths which may do PMD map: fault around and regular
fault.
Before commit f9ce0be71d ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") the thing was even worse in fault around path. The THP
could be PMD mapped as long as the VMA fits regardless what subpage is
accessed and corrupted. After this commit as long as head page is not
corrupted the THP could be PMD mapped.
In the regular fault path the THP could be PMD mapped as long as the
corrupted page is not accessed and the VMA fits.
This loophole could be fixed by iterating every subpage to check if any
of them is hwpoisoned or not, but it is somewhat costly in page fault
path.
So introduce a new page flag called HasHWPoisoned on the first tail
page. It indicates the THP has hwpoisoned subpage(s). It is set if any
subpage of THP is found hwpoisoned by memory failure and after the
refcount is bumped successfully, then cleared when the THP is freed or
split.
The soft offline path doesn't need this since soft offline handler just
marks a subpage hwpoisoned when the subpage is migrated successfully.
But shmem THP didn't get split then migrated at all.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory groups", v3.
I. Goal
The goal of this series is improving in-kernel auto-online support. It
tackles the fundamental problems that:
1) We can create zone imbalances when onlining all memory blindly to
ZONE_MOVABLE, in the worst case crashing the system. We have to know
upfront how much memory we are going to hotplug such that we can
safely enable auto-onlining of all hotplugged memory to ZONE_MOVABLE
via "online_movable". This is far from practical and only applicable in
limited setups -- like inside VMs under the RHV/oVirt hypervisor which
will never hotplug more than 3 times the boot memory (and the
limitation is only in place due to the Linux limitation).
2) We see more setups that implement dynamic VM resizing, hot(un)plugging
memory to resize VM memory. In these setups, we might hotplug a lot of
memory, but it might happen in various small steps in both directions
(e.g., 2 GiB -> 8 GiB -> 4 GiB -> 16 GiB ...). virtio-mem is the
primary driver of this upstream right now, performing such dynamic
resizing NUMA-aware via multiple virtio-mem devices.
Onlining all hotplugged memory to ZONE_NORMAL means we basically have
no hotunplug guarantees. Onlining all to ZONE_MOVABLE means we can
easily run into zone imbalances when growing a VM. We want a mixture,
and we want as much memory as reasonable/configured in ZONE_MOVABLE.
Details regarding zone imbalances can be found at [1].
3) Memory devices consist of 1..X memory block devices, however, the
kernel doesn't really track the relationship. Consequently, also user
space has no idea. We want to make per-device decisions.
As one example, for memory hotunplug it doesn't make sense to use a
mixture of zones within a single DIMM: we want all MOVABLE if
possible, otherwise all !MOVABLE, because any !MOVABLE part will easily
block the whole DIMM from getting hotunplugged.
As another example, virtio-mem operates on individual units that span
1..X memory blocks. Similar to a DIMM, we want a unit to either be all
MOVABLE or !MOVABLE. A "unit" can be thought of like a DIMM, however,
all units of a virtio-mem device logically belong together and are
managed (added/removed) by a single driver. We want as much memory of
a virtio-mem device to be MOVABLE as possible.
4) We want memory onlining to be done right from the kernel while adding
memory, not triggered by user space via udev rules; for example, this
is reqired for fast memory hotplug for drivers that add individual
memory blocks, like virito-mem. We want a way to configure a policy in
the kernel and avoid implementing advanced policies in user space.
The auto-onlining support we have in the kernel is not sufficient. All we
have is a) online everything MOVABLE (online_movable) b) online everything
!MOVABLE (online_kernel) c) keep zones contiguous (online). This series
allows configuring c) to mean instead "online movable if possible
according to the coniguration, driven by a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio"
-- a new onlining policy.
II. Approach
This series does 3 things:
1) Introduces the "auto-movable" online policy that initially operates on
individual memory blocks only. It uses a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio
to make a decision whether a memory block will be onlined to
ZONE_MOVABLE or not. However, in the basic form, hotplugged KERNEL
memory does not allow for more MOVABLE memory (details in the
patches). CMA memory is treated like MOVABLE memory.
2) Introduces static (e.g., DIMM) and dynamic (e.g., virtio-mem) memory
groups and uses group information to make decisions in the
"auto-movable" online policy across memory blocks of a single memory
device (modeled as memory group). More details can be found in patch
#3 or in the DIMM example below.
3) Maximizes ZONE_MOVABLE memory within dynamic memory groups, by
allowing ZONE_NORMAL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for
more ZONE_MOVABLE memory within the same memory group. The target use
case is dynamic VM resizing using virtio-mem. See the virtio-mem
example below.
I remember that the basic idea of using a ratio to implement a policy in
the kernel was once mentioned by Vitaly Kuznetsov, but I might be wrong (I
lost the pointer to that discussion).
For me, the main use case is using it along with virtio-mem (and DIMMs /
ppc64 dlpar where necessary) for dynamic resizing of VMs, increasing the
amount of memory we can hotunplug reliably again if we might eventually
hotplug a lot of memory to a VM.
III. Target Usage
The target usage will be:
1) Linux boots with "mhp_default_online_type=offline"
2) User space (e.g., systemd unit) configures memory onlining (according
to a config file and system properties), for example:
* Setting memory_hotplug.online_policy=auto-movable
* Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_ratio=301
* Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_numa_aware=true
3) User space enabled auto onlining via "echo online >
/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks"
4) User space triggers manual onlining of all already-offline memory
blocks (go over offline memory blocks and set them to "online")
IV. Example
For DIMMs, hotplugging 4 GiB DIMMs to a 4 GiB VM with a configured ratio of
301% results in the following layout:
Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early)
Memory block 32-47: Normal (early)
Memory block 48-79: Movable (DIMM 0)
Memory block 80-111: Movable (DIMM 1)
Memory block 112-143: Movable (DIMM 2)
Memory block 144-275: Normal (DIMM 3)
Memory block 176-207: Normal (DIMM 4)
... all Normal
(-> hotplugged Normal memory does not allow for more Movable memory)
For virtio-mem, using a simple, single virtio-mem device with a 4 GiB VM
will result in the following layout:
Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early)
Memory block 32-47: Normal (early)
Memory block 48-143: Movable (virtio-mem, first 12 GiB)
Memory block 144: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB)
Memory block 145-147: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB)
Memory block 148: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB)
Memory block 149-151: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB)
... Normal/Movable mixture as above
(-> hotplugged Normal memory allows for more Movable memory within
the same device)
Which gives us maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a
VM in smaller steps.
V. Doc Update
I'll update the memory-hotplug.rst documentation, once the overhaul [1] is
usptream. Until then, details can be found in patch #2.
VI. Future Work
1) Use memory groups for ppc64 dlpar
2) Being able to specify a portion of (early) kernel memory that will be
excluded from the ratio. Like "128 MiB globally/per node" are excluded.
This might be helpful when starting VMs with extremely small memory
footprint (e.g., 128 MiB) and hotplugging memory later -- not wanting
the first hotplugged units getting onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE. One
alternative would be a trigger to not consider ZONE_DMA memory
in the ratio. We'll have to see if this is really rrequired.
3) Indicate to user space that MOVABLE might be a bad idea -- especially
relevant when memory ballooning without support for balloon compaction
is active.
This patch (of 9):
For implementing a new memory onlining policy, which determines when to
online memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE semi-automatically, we need the
number of present early (boot) pages -- present pages excluding hotplugged
pages. Let's track these pages per zone.
Pass a page instead of the zone to adjust_present_page_count(), similar as
adjust_managed_page_count() and derive the zone from the page.
It's worth noting that a memory block to be offlined/onlined is either
completely "early" or "not early". add_memory() and friends can only add
complete memory blocks and we only online/offline complete (individual)
memory blocks.

Patch series "mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE".
After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no
architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock. This
makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration
option redundant.
The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch
simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had
pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if.
This patch (of 2):
After recent changes in freeing of the unused parts of the memory map and
rework of pfn_valid() in arm and arm64 there are no architectures that can
have holes in the memory map within a pageblock and so nothing can enable
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE which guards non trivial implementation of
pfn_valid_within().
With that, pfn_valid_within() is always hardwired to 1 and can be
completely removed.
Remove calls to pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.

Under normal circumstances, migrate_pages() returns the number of pages
migrated. In error conditions, it returns an error code. When returning
an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not
migrated.
Make migrate_pages() return how many pages are demoted successfully for
all cases, including when encountering errors. Page reclaim behavior will
depend on this in subsequent patches.

Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11.
We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as
Intel's implementation of persistent memory.
Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory.
Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM
contents will be thrown out. Allocations will, at some point, start
falling over to the slower persistent memory.
That has two nasty properties. First, the newer allocations can end up in
the slower persistent memory. Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just
discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could
be used.
This patchset implements a solution to these problems. At the end of the
reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount
is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being
dropped.
While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function
in any environment where memory tiers exist.
This is not perfect. It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings
them back to fast DRAM. Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes
NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM.
This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent
memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com
With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2
separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node. So the
general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can
migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node.
We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench. On a
2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset
can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the
DRAM only + disk case. This comes from the reduced disk read throughput
(which reduces up to 70.8%).
== Open Issues ==
* Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations
to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this
new mechanism. A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of
these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on.
* Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs
since it no longer necessarily involves I/O. get_scan_count()
for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother
scanning anon pages"
This patch (of 9):
Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a
node migration table. This allows creating single migration target for
each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of
simply discarding colder pages. A node with no target is a "terminal
node", so reclaim acts normally there. The migration target does not
fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts
there to limit complexity.
When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically
migrated to another node. The biggest problems are knowing when to
migrate and to where the migration should be targeted.
The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to
follow the page allocator fallback lists. Those lists already tell us if
memory is full where to look next. It would also be logical to move
memory in that order.
But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in
all the lists. This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B,
B->A, A->B, ...).
Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate
node migration ordering. But, reuse the same data used to generate page
allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node().
This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances
essentially dictates the ordering for now. It should also be
architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working
find_next_best_node().
RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent
demotion cycles been observed. If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are
performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure
no cycles are observed. Details are as follows.
=== What does RCU provide? ===
Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking
for the last node:
terminal_node = start_node;
while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) {
terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node];
}
The initial values are:
node_demotion[0] = 1;
node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
and are updated to:
node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
node_demotion[1] = 0;
What guarantees that the cycle is not observed:
node_demotion[0] = 1;
node_demotion[1] = 0;
and would loop forever?
With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop. Since
the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old
contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has
completed.
RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old
migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes()
is called.
=== What does READ_ONCE() provide? ===
READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive
reads of node_demotion[]. This ensures that any updates are *eventually*
observed.
Consider the above loop again. The compiler could theoretically read the
entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go
back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[].
Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering
guarantees:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150921204327.GH4029@linux.vnet.ibm.com/
This code is unused for now. It will be called later in the
series.

There are several places that allocate memory for the memory map:
alloc_node_mem_map() for FLATMEM, sparse_buffer_init() and
__populate_section_memmap() for SPARSEMEM.
The memory allocated in the FLATMEM case is zeroed and it is never
poisoned, regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting.
The memory allocated in the SPARSEMEM cases is not zeroed and it is
implicitly poisoned inside memblock if CONFIG_PAGE_POISON is set.
Introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper for memblock allocators that will be used
for both FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM cases and will makei memory map zeroing and
poisoning consistent for different memory models.

Patch series "mm: ensure consistency of memory map poisoning".
Currently memory map allocation for FLATMEM case does not poison the
struct pages regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting.
This happens because allocation of the memory map for FLATMEM and SPARSMEM
use different memblock functions and those that are used for SPARSMEM case
(namely memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() and memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw())
implicitly poison the allocated memory.
Another side effect of this implicit poisoning is that early setup code
that uses the same functions to allocate memory burns cycles for the
memory poisoning even if it was not intended.
These patches introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper that ensure that the memory
map allocation is consistent for different memory models.
This patch (of 4):
Currently memory map for the holes is initialized only when SPARSEMEM
memory model is used. Yet, even with FLATMEM there could be holes in the
physical memory layout that have memory map entries.
For instance, the memory reserved using e820 API on i386 or
"reserved-memory" nodes in device tree would not appear in memblock.memory
and hence the struct pages for such holes will be skipped during memory
map initialization.
These struct pages will be zeroed because the memory map for FLATMEM
systems is allocated with memblock_alloc_node() that clears the allocated
memory. While zeroed struct pages do not cause immediate problems, the
correct behaviour is to initialize every page using __init_single_page().
Besides, enabling page poison for FLATMEM case will trigger
PF_POISONED_CHECK() unless the memory map is properly initialized.
Make sure init_unavailable_range() is called for both SPARSEMEM and
FLATMEM so that struct pages representing memory holes would appear as
PG_Reserved with any memory layout.

When placing pages on a pcp list, migratetype values over
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES get added to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcp list.
However, the actual migratetype is preserved in the page and should
not be changed to MIGRATE_MOVABLE or the page may end up on the wrong
free_list.
The impact is that HIGHATOMIC or CMA pages getting bulk freed from the
PCP lists could potentially end up on the wrong buddy list. There are
various consequences but minimally NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES accounting could
get screwed up.

The author of commit b3b64ebd38 ("mm/page_alloc: do bulk array
bounds check after checking populated elements") was possibly
confused by the mixture of return values throughout the function.
The API contract is clear that the function "Returns the number of pages
on the list or array." It does not list zero as a unique return value with
a special meaning. Therefore zero is a plausible return value only if
@nr_pages is zero or less.
Clean up the return logic to make it clear that the returned value is
always the total number of pages in the array/list, not the number of
pages that were allocated during this call.
The only change in behavior with this patch is the value returned if
prepare_alloc_pages() fails. To match the API contract, the number of
pages currently in the array/list is returned in this case.
The call site in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow() also seems to be confused
on this matter. It should be attended to by someone who is familiar with
that code.

There are a number of ways it could be fixed. The page owner code could
be audited to strip GFP flags that allow sleeping but it'll impair the
functionality of PAGE_OWNER if allocations fail. The bulk allocator could
add a special case to release/reacquire the lock for prep_new_page and
lookup PCP after the lock is reacquired at the cost of performance. The
pages requiring prep could be tracked using the least significant bit and
looping through the array although it is more complicated for the list
interface. The options are relatively complex and the second one still
incurs a performance penalty when PAGE_OWNER is active so this patch takes
the simple approach -- disable bulk allocation of PAGE_OWNER is active.
The caller will be forced to allocate one page at a time incurring a
performance penalty but PAGE_OWNER is already a performance penalty.

In [1], Jann Horn points out a possible race between
prep_compound_gigantic_page and __page_cache_add_speculative. The root
cause of the possible race is prep_compound_gigantic_page uncondittionally
setting the ref count of pages to zero. It does this because
prep_compound_gigantic_page is handed a 'group' of pages from an allocator
and needs to convert that group of pages to a compound page. The ref
count of each page in this 'group' is one as set by the allocator.
However, the ref count of compound page tail pages must be zero.
The potential race comes about when ref counted pages are returned from
the allocator. When this happens, other mm code could also take a
reference on the page. __page_cache_add_speculative is one such example.
Therefore, prep_compound_gigantic_page can not just set the ref count of
pages to zero as it does today. Doing so would lose the reference taken
by any other code. This would lead to BUGs in code checking ref counts
and could possibly even lead to memory corruption.
There are two possible ways to address this issue.
1) Make all allocators of gigantic groups of pages be able to return a
properly constructed compound page.
2) Make prep_compound_gigantic_page be more careful when constructing a
compound page.
This patch takes approach 2.
In prep_compound_gigantic_page, use cmpxchg to only set ref count to zero
if it is one. If the cmpxchg fails, call synchronize_rcu() in the hope
that the extra ref count will be driopped during a rcu grace period. This
is not a performance critical code path and the wait should be
accceptable. If the ref count is still inflated after the grace period,
then undo any modifications made and return an error.
Currently prep_compound_gigantic_page is type void and does not return
errors. Modify the two callers to check for and handle error returns. On
error, the caller must free the 'group' of pages as they can not be used
to form a gigantic page. After freeing pages, the runtime caller
(alloc_fresh_huge_page) will retry the allocation once. Boot time
allocations can not be retried.
The routine prep_compound_page also unconditionally sets the ref count of
compound page tail pages to zero. However, in this case the buddy
allocator is constructing a compound page from freshly allocated pages.
The ref count on those freshly allocated pages is already zero, so the
set_page_count(p, 0) is unnecessary and could lead to confusion. Just
remove it.

Dave Hansen reported the following about Feng Tang's tests on a machine
with persistent memory onlined as a DRAM-like device.
Feng Tang tossed these on a "Cascade Lake" system with 96 threads and
~512G of persistent memory and 128G of DRAM. The PMEM is in "volatile
use" mode and being managed via the buddy just like the normal RAM.
The PMEM zones are big ones:
present 65011712 = 248 G
high 134595 = 525 M
The PMEM nodes, of course, don't have any CPUs in them.
With your series, the pcp->high value per-cpu is 69584 pages or about
270MB per CPU. Scaled up by the 96 CPU threads, that's ~26GB of
worst-case memory in the pcps per zone, or roughly 10% of the size of
the zone.
This should not cause a problem as such although it could trigger reclaim
due to pages being stored on per-cpu lists for CPUs remote to a node. It
is not possible to treat cpuless nodes exactly the same as normal nodes
but the worst-case scenario can be mitigated by splitting pcp->high across
all online CPUs for cpuless memory nodes.

The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on
the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.
Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be
exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of
THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.
Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single
CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.
That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of
high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk
allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would
have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the
order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

Patch series "Allow high order pages to be stored on PCP", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only handles order-0 pages. With the
series "Use local_lock for pcp protection and reduce stat overhead" and
"Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", it's now
feasible to store high-order pages on PCP lists.
This small series allows PCP to store "cheap" orders where cheap is
determined by PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and THP-sized allocations.
This patch (of 2):
In the next page, free_compount_page is going to use the common helper
free_the_page. This patch moves the definition to ease review. No
functional change.

This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is
similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased
both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially
reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also
potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This
sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially
reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same.

When a task is freeing a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the
zone->lock multiple times freeing pages in batches. This may
unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when freeing very large number of
pages. This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent

The pcp high watermark is based on the batch size but there is no
relationship between them other than it is convenient to use early in
boot.
This patch takes the first step and bases pcp->high on the zone low
watermark split across the number of CPUs local to a zone while the batch
size remains the same to avoid increasing allocation latencies. The
intent behind the default pcp->high is "set the number of PCP pages such
that if they are all full that background reclaim is not started
prematurely".
Note that in this patch the pcp->high values are adjusted after memory
hotplug events, min_free_kbytes adjustments and watermark scale factor
adjustments but not CPU hotplug events which is handled later in the
series.
On a test KVM instance;
Before grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
high: 378
batch: 63
After grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2

Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone
lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the
zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger
zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse.
Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch
and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but
also increase allocation latencies.
This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales
pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to
reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It
also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on
recent freeing patterns.
The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also
driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages()
often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a
bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can
takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use
vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing
indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because
of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce
this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but
it should alleviate the problem.
The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite.
pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high
orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the
pcp->high values need to be increased first.
This patch (of 6):
The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high
limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl
is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it
has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase
latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes.
This leads to games where an administrator adjusts
percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and
allocation latency problems.
This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while
avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of
review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar
sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.

Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had
IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This
confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what
zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular.
This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page()
instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs.
free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected
by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages
to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to
the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that
free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be
correct.
Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is
running but that is not a common operation.

NUMA statistics are maintained on the zone level for hits, misses, foreign
etc but nothing relies on them being perfectly accurate for functional
correctness. The counters are used by userspace to get a general overview
of a workloads NUMA behaviour but the page allocator incurs a high cost to
maintain perfect accuracy similar to what is required for a vmstat like
NR_FREE_PAGES. There even is a sysctl vm.numa_stat to allow userspace to
turn off the collection of NUMA statistics like NUMA_HIT.
This patch converts NUMA_HIT and friends to be NUMA events with similar
accuracy to VM events. There is a possibility that slight errors will be
introduced but the overall trend as seen by userspace will be similar.
The counters are no longer updated from vmstat_refresh context as it is
unnecessary overhead for counters that may never be read by userspace.
Note that counters could be maintained at the node level to save space but
it would have a user-visible impact due to /proc/zoneinfo.

There is a lack of clarity of what exactly
local_irq_save/local_irq_restore protects in page_alloc.c . It conflates
the protection of per-cpu page allocation structures with per-cpu vmstat
deltas.
This patch protects the PCP structure using local_lock which for most
configurations is identical to IRQ enabling/disabling. The scope of the
lock is still wider than it should be but this is decreased later.
It is possible for the local_lock to be embedded safely within struct
per_cpu_pages but it adds complexity to free_unref_page_list.

The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking
requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and
causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same
per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache
lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second,
PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page
allocator.
This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more
suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required
for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on
!PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe
as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst
local_irq_disable();
spin_lock(&lock);
The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save)
-> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to
separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable
IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the
per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a
custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on
PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By
converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the
locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for
PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a
bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful.
After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and
leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.
zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be
disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events
would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends)
inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on
!PREEMPT_RT.
The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled
which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been
done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order
simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented.
Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the
PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces
the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.
By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the
locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying
NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are
disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split
the locking there.
No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats,
it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @
3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array
variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following.
(CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz)
ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size
Baseline Patched
1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%)
2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%)
3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%)
4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%)

64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%)
128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%)
While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be
interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT
tree into mainline.
This patch (of 9):
The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored
in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact
on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a
node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the
per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache
conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding
is required incurring a memory cost.
This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into
separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some
variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages
structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats).
Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages
structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no
impact overall.

A customer experienced a low-memory situation and decided to issue a
SIGKILL (i.e. a fatal signal). Instead of promptly terminating as one
would expect, the aforementioned task remained unresponsive.
Further investigation indicated that the task was "stuck" in the
reclaim/compaction retry loop. Now, it does not make sense to retry
compaction when a fatal signal is pending.
In the context of try_to_compact_pages(), indeed COMPACT_SKIPPED can be
returned; albeit, not every zone, on the zone list, would be considered in
the case a fatal signal is found to be pending. Yet, in
should_compact_retry(), given the last known compaction result, each zone,
on the zone list, can be considered/or checked (see
compaction_zonelist_suitable()). For example, if a zone was found to
succeed, then reclaim/compaction would be tried again (notwithstanding the
above).
This patch ensures that compaction is not needlessly retried irrespective
of the last known compaction result e.g. if it was skipped, in the
unlikely case a fatal signal is found pending. So, OOM is at least
attempted.

Patch series "Constify struct page arguments".
While working on various solutions to the 32-bit struct page size
regression, one of the problems I found was the networking stack expects
to be able to pass const struct page pointers around, and the mm doesn't
provide a lot of const-friendly functions to call. The root tangle of
problems is that a lot of functions call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), which calls
dump_page(), which calls a lot of functions which don't take a const
struct page (but could be const).
This patch (of 6):
The only caller of __dump_page() now opencodes dump_page(), so remove it
as an externally visible symbol.

On systems with memory nodes sorted in descending order, for instance Dell
Precision WorkStation T5500, the struct pages for higher PFNs and
respectively lower nodes, could be overwritten by the initialization of
struct pages corresponding to the holes in the memory sections.
For example for the below memory layout
[ 0.245624] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.248496] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff]
[ 0.251376] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff]
[ 0.254256] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff]
[ 0.257144] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff]
the range 0x1424000000 - 0x1428000000 in the beginning of node 0 starts in
the middle of a section and will be considered as a hole during the
initialization of the last section in node 1.
The wrong initialization of the memory map causes panic on boot when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.
Reorder loop order of the memory map initialization so that the outer loop
will always iterate over populated memory regions in the ascending order
and the inner loop will select the zone corresponding to the PFN range.
This way initialization of the struct pages for the memory holes will be
always done for the ranges that are actually not populated.

In the event that somebody would call this with an already fully

the end of page_array.
It's of course extremely unlikely that would ever be done, but this
triggers my internal static analyzer. Also, if it really is not
supposed to be invoked this way (i.e., with no NULL entries in
page_array), the nr_populated<nr_pages check could simply be removed

Recently we found that there is a lot MemFree left in /proc/meminfo
after do a lot of pages soft offline, it's not quite correct.
Before Oscar's rework of soft offline for free pages [1], if we soft
offline free pages, these pages are left in buddy with HWPoison flag,
and NR_FREE_PAGES is not updated immediately. So the difference between
NR_FREE_PAGES and real number of available free pages is also even big
at the beginning.
However, with the workload running, when we catch HWPoison page in any
alloc functions subsequently, we will remove it from buddy, meanwhile
update the NR_FREE_PAGES and try again, so the NR_FREE_PAGES will get
more and more closer to the real number of available free pages.
(regardless of unpoison_memory())
Now, for offline free pages, after a successful call
take_page_off_buddy(), the page is no longer belong to buddy allocator,
and will not be used any more, but we missed accounting NR_FREE_PAGES in
this situation, and there is no chance to be updated later.
Do update in take_page_off_buddy() like rmqueue() does, but avoid double
counting if some one already set_migratetype_isolate() on the page.

Poisoning freed pages protects against kernel use-after-free. The
likelihood of such a bug involving kernel pages is significantly higher
than that for user pages. At the same time, poisoning freed pages can
impose a significant performance cost, which cannot always be justified
for user pages given the lower probability of finding a bug. Therefore,
disable freed user page poisoning when using HW tags. We identify
"user" pages via the flag set GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which indicates
a strong likelihood of not being directly accessible to the kernel.

Currently, on an anonymous page fault, the kernel allocates a zeroed
page and maps it in user space. If the mapping is tagged (PROT_MTE),
set_pte_at() additionally clears the tags. It is, however, more
efficient to clear the tags at the same time as zeroing the data on
allocation. To avoid clearing the tags on any page (which may not be
mapped as tagged), only do this if the vma flags contain VM_MTE. This
requires introducing a new GFP flag that is used to determine whether
to clear the tags.
The DC GZVA instruction with a 0 top byte (and 0 tag) requires
top-byte-ignore. Set the TCR_EL1.{TBI1,TBID1} bits irrespective of

Currently with integrated init page_alloc.c needs to know whether
kasan_alloc_pages() will zero initialize memory, but this will start
becoming more complicated once we start adding tag initialization
support for user pages. To avoid page_alloc.c needing to know more
details of what integrated init will do, move the unpoisoning logic
for integrated init into the HW tags implementation. Currently the
logic is identical but it will diverge in subsequent patches.
For symmetry do the same for poisoning although this logic will
be unaffected by subsequent patches.

zone_pcp_reset allegedly protects against a race with drain_pages using
local_irq_save but this is bogus. local_irq_save only operates on the
local CPU. If memory hotplug is running on CPU A and drain_pages is
running on CPU B, disabling IRQs on CPU A does not affect CPU B and
offers no protection.
This patch deletes IRQ disable/enable on the grounds that IRQs protect
nothing and assumes the existing hotplug paths guarantees the PCP cannot
be used after zone_pcp_enable(). That should be the case already
because all the pages have been freed and there is no page to put on the
PCP lists.

Function current_gfp_context() is called after fast path. However, soon
we will add more constraints which will also limit zones based on
context. Move this call into fast path, and apply the correct
constraints for all allocations.
Also update .reclaim_idx based on value returned by
current_gfp_context() because it soon will modify the allowed zones.
Note:
With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path,
but we already load current->flags in fast-path:
__alloc_pages()
prepare_alloc_pages()
current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags);
Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we
will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and
therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not
return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used
for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done
on any CMA pages.
When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it
is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of
pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any
long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag
for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which
defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for
long-term pins.
Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to
memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions
common.

LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It
could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than
the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of
migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all
before migrate_pages call.
However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the
draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep
preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have
retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail
but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race
between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration
failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end.
To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during
ongoing migration until migrate is done.
Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times
migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync
migration) with below debug code.
int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page,
..
..
if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) {
printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc);
dump_page(page, "fail to migrate");
}
The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in
background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500
during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced
from 400 to 30.
The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently
drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather
suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation.
With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in
line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as
well.

By definition, COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events needs to be counted when there
is 'At least in one zone compaction wasn't deferred or skipped from the
direct compaction'. And when compaction is skipped or deferred,
COMPACT_SKIPPED will be returned but it will still go and update these
compaction events which is wrong in the sense that COMPACT[STALL|FAIL]
is counted without even trying the compaction.
Correct this by skipping the counting of these events when
COMPACT_SKIPPED is returned for compaction. This indirectly also avoid
the unnecessary try into the get_page_from_freelist() when compaction is
not even tried.
There is a corner case where compaction is skipped but still count
COMPACTSTALL event, which is that IRQ came and freed the page and the
same is captured in capture_control.

RECLAIM_ZONE was assumed to be unused because it was never explicitly
used in the kernel. However, there were a number of places where it was
checked implicitly by checking 'node_reclaim_mode' for a zero value.
These zero checks are not great because it is not obvious what a zero
mode *means* in the code. Replace them with a helper which makes it
more obvious: node_reclaim_enabled().
This helper also provides a handy place to explicitly check the
RECLAIM_ZONE bit itself. Check it explicitly there to make it more
obvious where the bit can affect behavior.
This should have no functional impact.

Currently, isolate_migratepages_{range,block} and their callers use a pfn
== 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme to let the caller know whether there was any error
during isolation.
This does not work as soon as we need to start reporting different error
codes and make sure we pass them down the chain, so they are properly
interpreted by functions like e.g: alloc_contig_range.
Let us rework isolate_migratepages_{range,block} so we can report error
codes. Since isolate_migratepages_block will stop returning the next pfn
to be scanned, we reuse the cc->migrate_pfn field to keep track of that.

Patch series "Make alloc_contig_range handle Hugetlb pages", v10.
alloc_contig_range lacks the ability to handle HugeTLB pages. This can
be problematic for some users, e.g: CMA and virtio-mem, where those
users will fail the call if alloc_contig_range ever sees a HugeTLB page,
even when those pages lay in ZONE_MOVABLE and are free. That problem
can be easily solved by replacing the page in the free hugepage pool.
In-use HugeTLB are no exception though, as those can be isolated and
migrated as any other LRU or Movable page.
This aims to improve alloc_contig_range->isolate_migratepages_block, so
that HugeTLB pages can be recognized and handled.
Since we also need to start reporting errors down the chain (e.g:
-ENOMEM due to not be able to allocate a new hugetlb page),
isolate_migratepages_{range,block} interfaces need to change to start
reporting error codes instead of the pfn == 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme it is
using right now. From now on, isolate_migratepages_block will not
return the next pfn to be scanned anymore, but -EINTR, -ENOMEM or 0, so
we the next pfn to be scanned will be recorded in cc->migrate_pfn field
(as it is already done in isolate_migratepages_range()).
Below is an insight from David (thanks), where the problem can clearly be
seen:
"Start a VM with 4G. Hotplug 1G via virtio-mem and online it to
ZONE_MOVABLE. Allocate 512 huge pages.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 5061512 kB
MemFree: 3319396 kB
MemAvailable: 3457144 kB
...
HugePages_Total: 512
HugePages_Free: 512
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
The huge pages get partially allocate from ZONE_MOVABLE. Try unplugging
1G via virtio-mem (remember, all ZONE_MOVABLE). Inside the guest:
[ 180.058992] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy
[ 180.060531] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy
[ 180.061972] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy

[ 180.064838] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy

[ 180.069598] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy"
And then with this patchset running:
"Same experiment with ZONE_MOVABLE:
a) Free huge pages: all memory can get unplugged again.
b) Allocated/populated but idle huge pages: all memory can get unplugged
again.
c) Allocated/populated but all 512 huge pages are read/written in a
loop: all memory can get unplugged again, but I get a single
[ 121.192345] alloc_contig_range: [180000, 188000) PFNs busy
Most probably because it happened to try migrating a huge page
while it was busy. As virtio-mem retries on ZONE_MOVABLE a couple of
times, it can deal with this temporary failure.
Last but not least, I did something extreme:
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 5061568 kB
MemFree: 186560 kB
MemAvailable: 354524 kB
...
HugePages_Total: 2048
HugePages_Free: 2048
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Triggering unplug would require to dissolve+alloc - which now fails
when trying to allocate an additional ~512 huge pages (1G).
As expected, I can properly see memory unplug not fully succeeding. +
I get a fairly continuous stream of
[ 226.611584] alloc_contig_range: [19f400, 19f800) PFNs busy
...
But more importantly, the hugepage count remains stable, as configured
by the admin (me):
HugePages_Total: 2048
HugePages_Free: 2048
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0"
This patch (of 7):
Currently, __alloc_contig_migrate_range can generate -EINTR, -ENOMEM or
-EBUSY, and report them down the chain. The problem is that when
migrate_pages() reports -ENOMEM, we keep going till we exhaust all the

migrate_pages() bails out right away on -ENOMEM because it is considered a
fatal error. Do the same here instead of keep going and retrying. Note
that this is not fixing a real issue, just a cosmetic change. Although we
can save some cycles by backing off ealier

Looking at perf-report and ASM-code for __alloc_pages_bulk() it is clear
that the code activated is suboptimal. The compiler guesses wrong and
places unlikely code at the beginning. Due to the use of WARN_ON_ONCE()
macro the UD2 asm instruction is added to the code, which confuse the
I-cache prefetcher in the CPU.

The proposed callers for the bulk allocator store pages from the bulk
allocator in an array. This patch adds an array-based interface to the
API to avoid multiple list iterations. The page list interface is
preserved to avoid requiring all users of the bulk API to allocate and
manage enough storage to store the pages.

This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and
__alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be
allocated and added to a list.
The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and
may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the
cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail
an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if
necessary.
Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be
improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it
available early to determine what semantics are required by different
callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

Patch series "Introduce a bulk order-0 page allocator with two in-tree users", v6.
This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the
network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not
efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other
semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that,
this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an
operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator. Quoting the
last patch for the high-speed networking use-case
Kernel XDP stats CPU pps Delta
Baseline XDP-RX CPU total 3,771,046 n/a
List XDP-RX CPU total 3,940,242 +4.49%
Array XDP-RX CPU total 4,249,224 +12.68%
Via the SUNRPC traces of svc_alloc_arg()
Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls
Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls
Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls
Both potential users in this series are corner cases (NFS and high-speed
networks) so it is unlikely that most users will see any benefit in the
short term. Other potential other users are batch allocations for page
cache readahead, fault around and SLUB allocations when high-order pages
are unavailable. It's unknown how much benefit would be seen by
converting multiple page allocation calls to a single batch or what
difference it may make to headline performance.
Light testing of my own running dbench over NFS passed. Chuck and Jesper
conducted their own tests and details are included in the changelogs.
Patch 1 renames a variable name that is particularly unpopular
Patch 2 adds a bulk page allocator
Patch 3 adds an array-based version of the bulk allocator
Patches 4-5 adds micro-optimisations to the implementation
Patches 6-7 SUNRPC user
Patches 8-9 Network page_pool user
This patch (of 9):
Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced"
being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name
"alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc
tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated.
To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated in
rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar names
when the bulk allocator is introduced.

Currently, debugging CMA allocation failures is quite limited. The most
common source of these failures seems to be page migration which doesn't
provide any useful information on the reason of the failure by itself.
alloc_contig_range can report those failures as it holds a list of
migrate-failed pages.
The information logged by dump_page() has already proven helpful for
debugging allocation issues, like identifying long-term pinnings on
ZONE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA.
Let's use the dynamic debugging infrastructure, such that we avoid
flooding the logs and creating a lot of noise on frequent
alloc_contig_range() calls. This information is helpful for debugging
only.
There are two ifdefery conditions to support common dyndbg options:
- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE
It aims for supporting the feature with only specific file with
adding ccflags.
- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
It aims for supporting the feature with system wide globally.
A simple example to enable the feature:
Admin could enable the dump like this(by default, disabled)
echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages +p" > control
Admin could disable it.
echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages =_" > control
Detail goes Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst
A concern is utility functions in dump_page use inconsistent
loglevels. In the future, we might want to make the loglevels
used inside dump_page() consistent and eventually rework the way
we log the information here. See [1].

Patch series "Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers", v3.
I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand why
they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for keeping
__alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions. That led
to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the
documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation
wasn't included.
Anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes.
This patch (of 7):
We have two masks involved -- the nodemask and the gfp mask, so alloc_mask
is an unclear name.

The information that some PFNs are busy is:
a) not helpful for ordinary users: we don't even know *who* called
alloc_contig_range(). This is certainly not worth a pr_info.*().
b) not really helpful for debugging: we don't have any details *why*
these PFNs are busy, and that is what we usually care about.
c) not complete: there are other cases where we fail alloc_contig_range()
using different paths that are not getting recorded.
For example, we reach this path once we succeeded in isolating pageblocks,
but failed to migrate some pages - which can happen easily on ZONE_NORMAL
(i.e., has_unmovable_pages() is racy) but also on ZONE_MOVABLE i.e., we
would have to retry longer to migrate).
For example via virtio-mem when unplugging memory, we can create quite
some noise (especially with ZONE_NORMAL) that is not of interest to users
- it's expected that some allocations may fail as memory is busy.
Let's just drop that pr_info_ratelimit() and rather implement a dynamic
debugging mechanism in the future that can give us a better reason why
alloc_contig_range() failed on specific pages.

This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of
HW_TAGS KASAN routines for page_alloc memory when init_on_alloc/free is
enabled.
With this change, kernel_init_free_pages() is no longer called when both
HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_alloc/free are enabled. Instead, memory is
initialized in KASAN runtime.
To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be
caused by future changes, both KASAN and kernel_init_free_pages() hooks
are put together and a warning comment is added.
This patch changes the order in which memory initialization and page
poisoning hooks are called. This doesn't lead to any side-effects, as
whenever page poisoning is enabled, memory initialization gets disabled.
Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves
HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc/free is enabled.

During boot, all non-reserved memblock memory is exposed to page_alloc via
memblock_free_pages->__free_pages_core(). This results in
kasan_free_pages() being called, which poisons that memory.
Poisoning all that memory lengthens boot time. The most noticeable effect
is observed with the HW_TAGS mode. A boot-time impact may potentially
also affect systems with large amount of RAM.
This patch changes the tag-based modes to not poison the memory during the
memblock->page_alloc transition.
An exception is made for KASAN_GENERIC. Since it marks all new memory as
accessible, not poisoning the memory released from memblock will lead to
KASAN missing invalid boot-time accesses to that memory.
With KASAN_SW_TAGS, as it uses the invalid 0xFE tag as the default tag for
all memory, it won't miss bad boot-time accesses even if the poisoning of
memblock memory is removed.
With KASAN_HW_TAGS, the default memory tags values are unspecified.
Therefore, if memblock poisoning is removed, this KASAN mode will miss the
mentioned type of boot-time bugs with a 1/16 probability. This is taken
as an acceptable trafe-off.
Internally, the poisoning is removed as follows. __free_pages_core() is
used when exposing fresh memory during system boot and when onlining
memory during hotplug. This patch adds a new FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON flag
and passes it to __free_pages_ok() through free_pages_prepare() from
__free_pages_core(). If FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON is set, kasan_free_pages()
is not called.
All memory allocated normally when the boot is over keeps getting poisoned
as usual.

Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.
Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that
require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx)
use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

page, the sub-pages must be freed individually. If the memcg of the first
page is valid, the tail pages cannot be uncharged when be freed.
For example, when alloc_pages_exact is used to allocate 1MB continuous
physical memory, 2MB is charged(kmemcg is enabled and __GFP_ACCOUNT is
set). When make_alloc_exact free the unused 1MB and free_pages_exact free
the applied 1MB, actually, only 4KB(one page) is uncharged.
Therefore, the memcg of the tail page needs to be set when splitting a
page.
Michel:
There are at least two explicit users of __GFP_ACCOUNT with
alloc_exact_pages added recently. See 7efe8ef274 ("KVM: arm64:
Allocate stage-2 pgd pages with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT") and c419621873
("KVM: s390: Add memcg accounting to KVM allocations"), so this is not
just a theoretical issue.

Currently, kasan_free_nondeferred_pages()->kasan_free_pages() is called
after debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages(). This causes a crash when
debug_pagealloc is enabled, as HW_TAGS KASAN can't set tags on an
unmapped page.
This patch puts kasan_free_nondeferred_pages() before
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() and arch_free_page(), which can also make
the page unavailable.

There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory.
This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of
SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes
reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.
Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function
that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a
struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields of this page are set to
default values and it is marked as Reserved.
init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page
belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.
Before commit 73a6e474cb ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock
regions rather that check each PFN") the holes inside a zone were
re-initialized during memmap_init() and got their zone/node links right.
However, after that commit nothing updates the struct pages representing
such holes.
On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for
instance in a configuration below:
# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem
7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type
7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM
unset zone link in struct page will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);
in set_pfnblock_flags_mask() when called with a struct page from a range
other than E820_TYPE_RAM because there are pages in the range of
ZONE_DMA32 but the unset zone link in struct page makes them appear as a
part of ZONE_DMA.
Interleave initialization of the unavailable pages with the normal
initialization of memory map, so that zone and node information will be
properly set on struct pages that are not backed by the actual memory.
With this change the pages for holes inside a zone will get proper
zone/node links and the pages that are not spanned by any node will get
links to the adjacent zone/node. The holes between nodes will be
prepended to the zone/node above the hole and the trailing pages in the
last section that will be appended to the zone/node below.

Let's count the number of CMA pages per zone and print them in
/proc/zoneinfo.
Having access to the total number of CMA pages per zone is helpful for
debugging purposes to know where exactly the CMA pages ended up, and to
figure out how many pages of a zone might behave differently, even after
some of these pages might already have been allocated.
As one example, CMA pages part of a kernel zone cannot be used for
ordinary kernel allocations but instead behave more like ZONE_MOVABLE.
For now, we are only able to get the global nr+free cma pages from
/proc/meminfo and the free cma pages per zone from /proc/zoneinfo.
Example after this patch when booting a 6 GiB QEMU VM with
"hugetlb_cma=2G":
# cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep cma
cma 0
nr_free_cma 0
cma 0
nr_free_cma 0
cma 524288
nr_free_cma 493016
cma 0
cma 0
# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
CmaTotal: 2097152 kB
CmaFree: 1972064 kB
Note: We print even without CONFIG_CMA, just like "nr_free_cma"; this way,
one can be sure when spotting "cma 0", that there are definetly no
CMA pages located in a zone.

Currently we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat counters,

example, for a 96 CPUs system, the threshold is the maximum number of 125.

The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth

Although every THP stats update overflows the per-cpu counter, resorting
to atomic global updates. But it can make the statistics more accuracy

In the current implementation of page_frag_alloc(), it doesn't have
any align guarantee for the returned buffer address. But for some
hardwares they do require the DMA buffer to be aligned correctly,
so we would have to use some workarounds like below if the buffers
allocated by the page_frag_alloc() are used by these hardwares for
DMA.
buf = page_frag_alloc(really_needed_size + align);
buf = PTR_ALIGN(buf, align);
These codes seems ugly and would waste a lot of memories if the buffers
are used in a network driver for the TX/RX. So introduce
page_frag_alloc_align() to make sure that an aligned buffer address is
returned.

kernel_init_free_pages() to avoid false-positives due to accesses to
metadata with the hardware tag-based mode.
That commit did reset page tags before the metadata access, but didn't
restore them after. As the result, KASAN fails to detect bad accesses
to page_alloc allocations on some configurations.
Fix this by recovering the tag after the metadata access.

VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their
platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb ("mm: memmap_init:
iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it.
Before the commit:
[0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
[0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
[0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448
With commit
[0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
[0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
[2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448
The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected.
Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone,
to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of
the last zone in that numa node. However, since commit 73a6e474cb,
function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions
inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each
region.
E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two
memory regions in node 2. The current code will mistakenly initialize the
whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to
iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem
0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]. In fact, we only expect to see that there's

down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge
whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie
out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is
freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive
reports with hardware tag-based KASAN.
Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via
KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current()
annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports.
With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as
it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE
is disabled after the first one.
Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

mm/lru: introduce relock_page_lruvec()
mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock
mm/swap.c: serialize memcg changes in pagevec_lru_move_fn

mm/thp: narrow lru locking
mm/thp: simplify lru_add_page_tail()
mm/thp: use head for head page in lru_add_page_tail()
mm/thp: move lru_add_page_tail() to huge_memory.c
This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.
After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.
In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.

Kernel-doc markups should use this format:
identifier - description
Fix some issues on mm files:
1) The definition for get_user_pages_locked() doesn't follow it. Also,
it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one,
after the parameters. Fix it.
2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below
the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it. So, move
get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place.
3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected
kernel-doc format.
While here, fix a few minor English syntax issues, as suggested
by Matthew:

CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO uses the zero pattern instead of 0xAA. It was
introduced by commit 1414c7f4f7 ("mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero
poisoning"), noting that using zeroes retains the benefit of sanitizing
content of freed pages, with the benefit of not having to zero them again
on alloc, and the downside of making some forms of corruption (stray
writes of NULLs) harder to detect than with the 0xAA pattern. Together
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY it made possible to sanitize the
contents on free without checking it back on alloc.
These days we have the init_on_free() option to achieve sanitization with
zeroes and to save clearing on alloc (and without checking on alloc).
Arguably if someone does choose to check the poison for corruption on
alloc, the savings of not clearing the page are secondary, and it makes
sense to always use the 0xAA poison pattern. Thus, remove the
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO option for being redundant.

Commit 11c9c7edae ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static
key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However,
the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call
with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled.
Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts
page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces
page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are
inlined.
The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does
the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers.
Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and
kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter.
Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of
debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support.
Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single
static key instead of having two static branches in
page_poisoning_enabled_static().

Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3.
I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends:
- interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on
the order of parameters (Patch 1)
- the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2)
- sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have
init_on_free (Patch 4)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we
have init_on_free (Patch 5)
This patch (of 5):
Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1
produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence. However,
as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for
init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later
on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their
parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the
respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is
called, it is not considered to be enabled. This is inconsistent.
We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters
only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early
params have been processed. Introduce a new
init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related
debug_pagealloc processing there as well.
As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if
init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled. Thus we can also
optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free(). We don't need to
check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the
init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled. This results
in a simpler and more effective code.
