Kirill A. Shutemov 5e0a760b44 mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER
commit 23baf831a3 ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

Kirill A. Shutemov fd37721803 mm, treewide: introduce NR_PAGE_ORDERS
NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page
allocator, ranging from 0 to MAX_ORDER, MAX_ORDER + 1 in total.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

Kirill A. Shutemov 23baf831a3 mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely
MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.

Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

SeongJae Park 01b5022f0a mm/page_reporting: replace rcu_access_pointer() with rcu_dereference_protected()
Page reporting fetches pr_dev_info using rcu_access_pointer(), which is
for safely fetching a pointer that will not be dereferenced but could
concurrently updated.  The code indeed does not dereference pr_dev_info
after fetching it using rcu_access_pointer(), but it fetches the pointer
while concurrent updates to the pointer is avoided by holding the update
side lock, page_reporting_mutex.

In the case, rcu_dereference_protected() should be used instead because it
provides better readability and performance on some cases, as
rcu_dereference_protected() avoids use of READ_ONCE().  Replace the
rcu_access_pointer() calls with rcu_dereference_protected().

Shradha Gupta aebb02ce8b mm/page_reporting: Add checks for page_reporting_order param
Current code allows the page_reporting_order parameter to be changed
via sysfs to any integer value.  The new value is used immediately
in page reporting code with no validation, which could cause incorrect
behavior.  Fix this by adding validation of the new value.
Export this parameter for use in the driver that is calling the
page_reporting_register().

This is needed by drivers like hv_balloon to know the order of the
pages reported. Traditionally the values provided in the kernel boot
line or subsequently changed via sysfs take priority therefore, if
page_reporting_order parameter's value is set, it takes precedence
over the value passed while registering with the driver.

Gavin Shan 9f849c6f95 mm/page_reporting: allow driver to specify reporting order
The page reporting order (threshold) is sticky to @pageblock_order by
default.  The page reporting can never be triggered because the freeing
page can't come up with a free area like that huge.  The situation becomes
worse when the system memory becomes heavily fragmented.

For example, the following configurations are used on ARM64 when 64KB base
page size is enabled.  In this specific case, the page reporting won't be
triggered until the freeing page comes up with a 512MB free area.  That's
hard to be met, especially when the system memory becomes heavily
fragmented.

   PAGE_SIZE:          64KB
   HPAGE_SIZE:         512MB
   pageblock_order:    13       (512MB)
   MAX_ORDER:          14

This allows the drivers to specify the page reporting order when the page
reporting device is registered.  It falls back to @pageblock_order if it's
not specified by the driver.  The existing users (hv_balloon and
virtio_balloon) don't specify it and @pageblock_order is still taken as
their page reporting order.  So this shouldn't introduce any functional
changes.

The macro PAGE_REPORTING_MIN_ORDER is defined as the page reporting
threshold.  It can't be adjusted at runtime.

This introduces a variable (@page_reporting_order) to replace the marcro
(PAGE_REPORTING_MIN_ORDER).  MAX_ORDER is assigned to it initially,
meaning the page reporting is disabled.  It will be specified by driver if
valid one is provided.  Otherwise, it will fall back to @pageblock_order.
It's also exported so that the page reporting order can be adjusted at
runtime.

Gavin Shan 5631de543a mm/page_reporting: fix code style in __page_reporting_request()
Patch series "mm/page_reporting: Make page reporting work on arm64 with 64KB page size", v4.

The page reporting threshold is currently equal to @pageblock_order, which
is 13 and 512MB on arm64 with 64KB base page size selected.  The page
reporting won't be triggered if the freeing page can't come up with a free
area like that huge.  The condition is hard to be met, especially when the
system memory becomes fragmented.

This series intends to solve the issue by having page reporting threshold
as 5 (2MB) on arm64 with 64KB base page size.  The patches are organized
as:

   PATCH[1/4] Fix some coding style in __page_reporting_request().
   PATCH[2/4] Represents page reporting order with variable so that it can
              be exported as module parameter.
   PATCH[3/4] Allows the device driver (e.g. virtio_balloon) to specify
              the page reporting order when the device info is registered.
   PATCH[4/4] Specifies the page reporting order to 5, corresponding to
              2MB in size on ARM64 when 64KB base page size is used.

This patch (of 4):

The lines of comments would be starting with one, instead two space.  This
corrects the style.

Alexander Duyck 43b76f298f mm/page_reporting: add budget limit on how many pages can be reported per pass
In order to keep ourselves from reporting pages that are just going to be
reused again in the case of heavy churn we can put a limit on how many
total pages we will process per pass.  Doing this will allow the worker
thread to go into idle much more quickly so that we avoid competing with
other threads that might be allocating or freeing pages.

The logic added here will limit the worker thread to no more than one
sixteenth of the total free pages in a given area per list.  Once that
limit is reached it will update the state so that at the end of the pass
we will reschedule the worker to try again in 2 seconds when the memory
churn has hopefully settled down.

Again this optimization doesn't show much of a benefit in the standard
case as the memory churn is minmal.  However with page allocator shuffling
enabled the gain is quite noticeable.  Below are the results with a THP
enabled version of the will-it-scale page_fault1 test showing the
improvement in iterations for 16 processes or threads.

Alexander Duyck 02cf8719b8 mm/page_reporting: rotate reported pages to the tail of the list
Rather than walking over the same pages again and again to get to the
pages that have yet to be reported we can save ourselves a significant
amount of time by simply rotating the list so that when we have a full
list of reported pages the head of the list is pointing to the next
non-reported page.  Doing this should save us some significant time when
processing each free list.

This doesn't gain us much in the standard case as all of the non-reported
pages should be near the top of the list already.  However in the case of
page shuffling this results in a noticeable improvement.  Below are the

Alexander Duyck 36e66c554b mm: introduce Reported pages
In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned.  To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.

To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function.  As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.

The process for reporting pages is fairly simple.  Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future.  That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.

When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages.  To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.

It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist.  Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.

The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone.  Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing.  If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.
