c8721bbbdd mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage
Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
hugepage is considered as an unmovable page.  But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.

What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
in the memory block intervene the memory offlining.  For this reason we
introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().

Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().

As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block.  So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.

a458431e17 mm: fix zone_watermark_ok_safe() accounting of isolated pages
Commit 702d1a6e07 ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever
problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in
struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in
zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem.

Then later, commit 2139cbe627 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages")
fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter.  It
made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and
potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice
making free pages counter incorrect).

This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether
which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.

b023f46813 memory-hotplug: skip HWPoisoned page when offlining pages
hwpoisoned may be set when we offline a page by the sysfs interface
/sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page or
/sys/devices/system/memory/hard_offline_page. If we don't clear
this flag when onlining pages, this page can't be freed, and will
not in free list. So we can't offline these pages again. So we
should skip such page when offlining pages.

435b405c06 memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing
If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.

The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock.  If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.

But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected.  It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.

Suggested by Mel Gorman.

41d575ad4a memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation
Like below, memory-hotplug makes race between page-isolation
and page-allocation so it can hit BUG_ON in __offline_isolated_pages.

	CPU A					CPU B

start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
spin_lock_irqsave(zone->lock)

				free_hot_cold_page(Page A)
				/* without zone->lock */
				migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A);
				/*
				 * Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE
				 * of per_cpu_pages
				 */
				list_add_tail(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);

set_pageblock_isolate
move_freepages_block
drain_all_pages

				/* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */

check_pages_isolated
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock
/*
 * We can't catch freed page which
 * is free_list[MIGRATE_MOVABLE]
 */
if (PageBuddy(page A))
	pfn += 1 << page_order(page A);

				/* So, Page A could be allocated */

__offline_isolated_pages
/*
 * BUG_ON hit or offline page
 * which is used by someone
 */
BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page A));

This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock.  So now
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.

702d1a6e07 memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem
When hotplug offlining happens on zone A, it starts to mark freed page as
MIGRATE_ISOLATE type in buddy for preventing further allocation.
(MIGRATE_ISOLATE is very irony type because it's apparently on buddy but
we can't allocate them).

When the memory shortage happens during hotplug offlining, current task
starts to reclaim, then wake up kswapd.  Kswapd checks watermark, then go
sleep because current zone_watermark_ok_safe doesn't consider
MIGRATE_ISOLATE freed page count.  Current task continue to reclaim in
direct reclaim path without kswapd's helping.  The problem is that
zone->all_unreclaimable is set by only kswapd so that current task would
be looping forever like below.

__alloc_pages_slowpath
restart:
	wake_all_kswapd
rebalance:
	__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim
		do_try_to_free_pages
			if global_reclaim && !all_unreclaimable
				return 1; /* It means we did did_some_progress */
	skip __alloc_pages_may_oom
	should_alloc_retry
		goto rebalance;

If we apply KOSAKI's patch[1] which doesn't depends on kswapd about
setting zone->all_unreclaimable, we can solve this problem by killing some
task in direct reclaim path.  But it doesn't wake up kswapd, still.  It
could be a problem still if other subsystem needs GFP_ATOMIC request.  So
kswapd should consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE when it calculate free pages BEFORE
going sleep.

This patch counts the number of MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block and
zone_watermark_ok_safe will consider it if the system has such blocks
(fortunately, it's very rare so no problem in POV overhead and kswapd is
never hotpath).

Copy/modify from Mel's quote
"
Ideal solution would be "allocating" the pageblock.
It would keep the free space accounting as it is but historically,
memory hotplug didn't allocate pages because it would be difficult to
detect if a pageblock was isolated or if part of some balloon.
Allocating just full pageblocks would work around this, However,
it would play very badly with CMA.

a70dcb969f memory hotplug: fix page_zone() calculation in test_pages_isolated()
My last bugfix here (adding zone->lock) introduced a new problem: Using
page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)) to get the zone after the for() loop is wrong.
 pfn will then be >= end_pfn, which may be in a different zone or not
present at all.  This may lead to an addressing exception in page_zone()
or spin_lock_irqsave().

Now I use __first_valid_page() again after the loop to find a valid page
for page_zone().

problem, it would be good if we could have it in 2.6.27.

a5d76b54a3 memory unplug: page isolation
Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops.

This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this
 - MIGRATE_TYPES increases.
 - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged.

pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free.
By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not
a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages.

If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called,
 - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE  if
   its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other
   memory reclaiming works make progress.
 - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list.
 - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated.
To check all pages in the range are isolated or not,  use test_pages_isolated(),
To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range().

Changes V6 -> V7
 - removed unnecessary #ifdef

There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
