<id>urn:sha1:361e53efad8396a4f7e333f0192ff93d3f99bd02</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0d6c356dd6547adac2b06b461528e3573f52d953 upstream.

When emitting the order of the allocation for a hash table,
alloc_large_system_hash() unconditionally subtracts PAGE_SHIFT from log
base 2 of the allocation size.  This is not correct if the allocation size
is smaller than a page, and yields a negative value for the order as seen
below:

TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: -4, 256 bytes, linear) TCP
bind hash table entries: 32 (order: -2, 1024 bytes, linear)

Use get_order() to compute the order when emitting the hash table
information to correctly handle cases where the allocation size is smaller
than a page:

TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 256 bytes, linear) TCP
bind hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 1024 bytes, linear)

<content type='text'>
There are no users of HAVE_ARCH_NODEDATA_EXTENSION left, so
arch_alloc_nodedata() and arch_refresh_nodedata() are not needed anymore.

Replace the call to arch_alloc_nodedata() in free_area_init() with a new
helper alloc_offline_node_data(), remove arch_refresh_nodedata() and
cleanup include/linux/memory_hotplug.h from the associated ifdefery.

Make accept_memory() and range_contains_unaccepted_memory() take 'start'
and 'size' arguments instead of 'start' and 'end'.

Remove accept_page(), replacing it with direct calls to accept_memory(). 
The accept_page() name is going to be used for a different function.

<content type='text'>
During CMA activation, pages in CMA area are prepared and then freed
without being allocated.  This triggers warnings when memory allocation
debug config (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG) is enabled.  Fix this by
marking these pages not tagged before freeing them.

<id>urn:sha1:a8fc28dad6d574582cdf2f7e78c73c59c623df30</id>
<content type='text'>
In several cases we are freeing pages which were not allocated using
common page allocators.  For such cases, in order to keep allocation
accounting correct, we should clear the page tag to indicate that the page
being freed is expected to not have a valid allocation tag.  Introduce
clear_page_tag_ref() helper function to be used for this.

Currently, when memory is hot-plugged or hot-removed the accounting is
done based on the assumption that memmap is allocated from the same node
as the hot-plugged/hot-removed memory, which is not always the case.

In addition, there are challenges with keeping the node id of the memory
that is being remove to the time when memmap accounting is actually
performed: since this is done after remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and
also after remove_memory_block_devices(). Meaning that we cannot use
pgdat nor walking though memblocks to get the nid.

Given all of that, account the memmap overhead system wide instead.

For this we are going to be using global atomic counters, but given that
memmap size is rarely modified, and normally is only modified either
during early boot when there is only one CPU, or under a hotplug global
mutex lock, therefore there is no need for per-cpu optimizations.

Also, while we are here rename nr_memmap to nr_memmap_pages, and
nr_memmap_boot to nr_memmap_boot_pages to be self explanatory that the
units are in page count.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Pull memblock updates from Mike Rapoport:

 - 'reserve_mem' command line parameter to allow creation of named
   memory reservation at boot time.

   The driving use-case is to improve the ability of pstore to retain
   ramoops data across reboots.

 - cleanups and small improvements in memblock and mm_init

 - new tests cases in memblock test suite

Current check on MAX_ZONELISTS is wrapped in CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT,
which may not be triggered all the time.

Let's move it out to a more general place.

<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.
