We currently have a hack for virtio-mem in place to handle memory
offlining with PageOffline pages for which we already adjusted the managed
page count.

Let's enlighten memory offlining code so we can get rid of that hack, and
document the situation.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: initialize memmap of !ZONE_DEVICE with PageOffline() instead of PageReserved()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:503b158fc30f203a1854c87183ca3467c6466001</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently initialize the memmap such that PG_reserved is set and the
refcount of the page is 1.  In virtio-mem code, we have to manually clear
that PG_reserved flag to make memory offlining with partially hotplugged
memory blocks possible: has_unmovable_pages() would otherwise bail out on
such pages.

We want to avoid PG_reserved where possible and move to typed pages
instead.  Further, we want to further enlighten memory offlining code
about PG_offline: offline pages in an online memory section.  One example
is handling managed page count adjustments in a cleaner way during memory
offlining.

So let's initialize the pages with PG_offline instead of PG_reserved. 
generic_online_page()-&gt;__free_pages_core() will now clear that flag before
handing that memory to the buddy.

Note that the page refcount is still 1 and would forbid offlining of such
memory except when special care is take during GOING_OFFLINE as currently
only implemented by virtio-mem.

With this change, we can now get non-PageReserved() pages in the XEN
balloon list.  From what I can tell, that can already happen via
decrease_reservation(), so that should be fine.

HV-balloon should not really observe a change: partial online memory
blocks still cannot get surprise-offlined, because the refcount of these
PageOffline() pages is 1.

Update virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN-balloon code to be aware that
hotplugged pages are now PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() before
they are handed over to the buddy.

We'll leave the ZONE_DEVICE case alone for now.

Note that self-hosted vmemmap pages will no longer be marked as
reserved.  This matches ordinary vmemmap pages allocated from the buddy
during memory hotplug.  Now, really only vmemmap pages allocated from
memblock during early boot will be marked reserved.  Existing
PageReserved() checks seem to be handling all relevant cases correctly
even after this change.

<title>virtio-mem: support suspend+resume</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e4544c550eb1857845bb7114bac53edd04dc078f</id>
<content type='text'>
With virtio-mem, primarily hibernation is problematic: as the machine shuts
down, the virtio-mem device loses its state. Powering the machine back up
is like losing a bunch of DIMMs. While there would be ways to add limited
support, suspend+resume is more commonly used for VMs and "easier" to
support cleanly.

s2idle can be supported without any device dependencies. Similarly, one
would expect suspend-to-ram (i.e., S3) to work out of the box. However,
QEMU currently unplugs all device memory when resuming the VM, using a
cold reset on the "wakeup" path. In order to support S3, we need a feature
flag for the device to tell us if memory remains plugged when waking up. In
the future, QEMU will implement this feature.

So let's always support s2idle and support S3 with plugged memory only if
the device indicates support. Block hibernation early using the PM
notifier.

Trying to hibernate now fails early:
	# echo disk &gt; /sys/power/state
	[   26.455369] PM: hibernation: hibernation entry
	[   26.458271] virtio_mem virtio0: hibernation is not supported.
	[   26.462498] PM: hibernation: hibernation exit
	-bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

s2idle works even without the new feature bit:
	# echo s2idle &gt; /sys/power/mem_sleep
	# echo mem &gt; /sys/power/state
	[   52.083725] PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
	[   52.095950] Filesystems sync: 0.010 seconds
	[   52.101493] Freezing user space processes
	[   52.104213] Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
	[   52.106520] OOM killer disabled.
	[   52.107655] Freezing remaining freezable tasks
	[   52.110880] Freezing remaining freezable tasks completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
	[   52.113296] printk: Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)

S3 does not work without the feature bit when memory is plugged:
	# echo deep &gt; /sys/power/mem_sleep
	# echo mem &gt; /sys/power/state
	[   32.788281] PM: suspend entry (deep)
	[   32.816630] Filesystems sync: 0.027 seconds
	[   32.820029] Freezing user space processes
	[   32.823870] Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
	[   32.827756] OOM killer disabled.
	[   32.829608] Freezing remaining freezable tasks
	[   32.833842] Freezing remaining freezable tasks completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
	[   32.837953] printk: Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
	[   32.916172] virtio_mem virtio0: suspend+resume with plugged memory is not supported
	[   32.916181] virtio-pci 0000:00:02.0: PM: pci_pm_suspend(): virtio_pci_freeze+0x0/0x50 returns -1
	[   32.916197] virtio-pci 0000:00:02.0: PM: dpm_run_callback(): pci_pm_suspend+0x0/0x170 returns -1
	[   32.916210] virtio-pci 0000:00:02.0: PM: failed to suspend async: error -1

But S3 works with the new feature bit when memory is plugged (patched
QEMU):
	# echo deep &gt; /sys/power/mem_sleep
	# echo mem &gt; /sys/power/state
	[   33.983694] PM: suspend entry (deep)
	[   34.009828] Filesystems sync: 0.024 seconds
	[   34.013589] Freezing user space processes
	[   34.016722] Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
	[   34.019092] OOM killer disabled.
	[   34.020291] Freezing remaining freezable tasks
	[   34.023549] Freezing remaining freezable tasks completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds)
	[   34.026090] printk: Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)

Patch series "Memory allocation profiling", v6.

Overview:
Low overhead [1] per-callsite memory allocation profiling. Not just for
debug kernels, overhead low enough to be deployed in production.

Example output:

     ...

Usage:
kconfig options:
 - CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING
 - CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
 - CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG
   adds warnings for allocations that weren't accounted because of a
   missing annotation

sysctl:
  /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling

Runtime info:
  /proc/allocinfo

Notes:

[1]: Overhead
To measure the overhead we are comparing the following configurations:
(1) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n
(2) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n)
(3) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y)
(4) Enabled at runtime (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n &amp;&amp; /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling=1)
(5) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y &amp;&amp; allocating with __GFP_ACCOUNT
(6) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n)  &amp;&amp; CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
(7) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &amp;&amp;
    CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y) &amp;&amp; CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y

Performance overhead:
To evaluate performance we implemented an in-kernel test executing
multiple get_free_page/free_page and kmalloc/kfree calls with allocation
sizes growing from 8 to 240 bytes with CPU frequency set to max and CPU
affinity set to a specific CPU to minimize the noise. Below are results
from running the test on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with 6.8.0-rc1 kernel on
56 core Intel Xeon:

                        kmalloc                 pgalloc

(2 default disabled)    6.793s  (+0.43%)        17.007s (+0.62%)
(3 default enabled)     7.197s  (+6.40%)        23.666s (+40.02%)
(4 runtime enabled)     7.405s  (+9.48%)        23.901s (+41.41%)
(5 memcg)               13.388s (+97.94%)       48.460s (+186.71%)

(7 def enabled+memcg)   13.446s (+98.78%)       54.963s (+225.18%)

This patch (of 37):

The next patch drops vmalloc.h from a system header in order to fix a
circular dependency; this adds it to all the files that were pulling it in
implicitly.

<title>mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 23baf831a32c ("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.

<title>virtio-mem: check if the config changed before fake offlining memory</title>

If we repeatedly fail to fake offline memory to unplug it, we won't be
sending any unplug requests to the device. However, we only check if the
config changed when sending such (un)plug requests.

We could end up trying for a long time to unplug memory, even though
the config changed already and we're not supposed to unplug memory
anymore. For example, the hypervisor might detect a low-memory situation
while unplugging memory and decide to replug some memory. Continuing
trying to unplug memory in that case can be problematic.

So let's check on a more regular basis.

<title>virtio-mem: keep retrying on offline_and_remove_memory() errors in Sub Block Mode (SBM)</title>

In case offline_and_remove_memory() fails in SBM, we leave a completely
unplugged Linux memory block stick around until we try plugging memory
again. We won't try removing that memory block again.

offline_and_remove_memory() may, for example, fail if we're racing with
another alloc_contig_range() user, if allocating temporary memory fails,
or if some memory notifier rejected the offlining request.

Let's handle that case better, by simple retrying to offline and remove
such memory.

Tested using CONFIG_MEMORY_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT.

<title>virtio-mem: convert most offline_and_remove_memory() errors to -EBUSY</title>

Just like we do with alloc_contig_range(), let's convert all unknown
errors to -EBUSY, but WARN so we can look into the issue. For example,
offline_pages() could fail with -EINTR, which would be unexpected in our
case.
