Patch series "sysvipc: ipc-key management improvements".
Here are a few improvements I spotted while eyeballing Guillaume's
rhashtable implementation for ipc keys. The first and fourth patches
are the interesting ones, the middle two are trivial.
This patch (of 4):
The next_id object-allocation functionality was introduced in commit
03f595668017 ("ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object id").
Given that these new entries are _only_ exported under the
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option, there is no point for the common case
to even know about ->next_id. As such rewrite ipc_buildid() such that
it can do away with the field as well as unnecessary branches when
adding a new identifier. The end result also better differentiates both
cases, so the code ends up being cleaner; albeit the small duplications
regarding the default case.

Enables kcov to collect comparison operands from instrumented code.
This is done by using Clang's -fsanitize=trace-cmp instrumentation
(currently not available for GCC).
The comparison operands help a lot in fuzz testing. E.g. they are used
in Syzkaller to cover the interiors of conditional statements with way
less attempts and thus make previously unreachable code reachable.
To allow separate collection of coverage and comparison operands two
different work modes are implemented. Mode selection is now done via a
KCOV_ENABLE ioctl call with corresponding argument value.

This is the gist of a patch which we've been forward-porting in our
kernels for a long time now and it probably would make a good sense to
have such TAINT_AUX flag upstream which can be used by each distro etc,
how they see fit. This way, we won't need to forward-port a distro-only
version indefinitely.
Add an auxiliary taint flag to be used by distros and others. This
obviates the need to forward-port whatever internal solutions people
have in favor of a single flag which they can map arbitrarily to a
definition of their pleasing.
The "X" mnemonic could also mean eXternal, which would be taint from a
distro or something else but not the upstream kernel. We will use it to
mark modules for which we don't provide support. I.e., a really
eXternal module.

pidhash is no longer required as all the information can be looked up
from idr tree. nr_hashed represented the number of pids that had been
hashed. Since, nr_hashed and PIDNS_HASH_ADDING are no longer relevant,
it has been renamed to pid_allocated and PIDNS_ADDING respectively.

Patch series "Replacing PID bitmap implementation with IDR API", v4.
This series replaces kernel bitmap implementation of PID allocation with
IDR API. These patches are written to simplify the kernel by replacing
custom code with calls to generic code.
The following are the stats for pid and pid_namespace object files
before and after the replacement. There is a noteworthy change between
the IDR and bitmap implementation.

This patch (of 2):
Replace the current bitmap implementation for Process ID allocation.
Functions that are no longer required, for example, free_pidmap(),
alloc_pidmap(), etc. are removed. The rest of the functions are
modified to use the IDR API. The change was made to make the PID
allocation less complex by replacing custom code with calls to generic
API.

pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,
.extra1 = &pipe_min_size,
},
...
int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf,
size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
{
...
ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
...
and then later rounded in-place a few statements later:
...
pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size);
...
This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding
that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a
non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)
Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racy:
pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info()
pipe.c :: pipe_set_size()
Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() that consolidates reading the new value
from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling round_pipe_size()
with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.

If the amount of resources allocated to a gen_pool exceeds 2^32 then the
avail atomic overflows and this causes problems when clients try and
borrow resources from the pool. This is only expected to be an issue on
64 bit systems.
Add the <linux/atomic.h> header to pull in atomic_long* operations. So
that 32 bit systems continue to use atomic32_t but 64 bit systems can
use atomic64_t.

This include was added by commit 187f1882b5b0 ("BUG: headers with
BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h") because BUG_ON() was used in this
header at that time.
Some time later, commit 6d75f366b924 ("lib: radix-tree: check accounting
of existing slot replacement users") removed the use of BUG_ON() from
this header.
Since then, there is no reason to include <linux/bug.h>.

The GCC randomize layout plugin can randomize the member offsets of
sensitive kernel data structures. To use this feature, certain
annotations and members are added to the structures which affect the
member offsets even if this plugin is not used.
All of these structures are completely randomized, except for task_struct
which leaves out some of its members. All the other members are wrapped
within an anonymous struct with the __randomize_layout attribute. This is
done using the randomized_struct_fields_start and
randomized_struct_fields_end defines.
When the plugin is disabled, the behaviour of this attribute can vary
based on the GCC version. For GCC 5.1+, this attribute maps to
__designated_init otherwise it is just an empty define but the anonymous
structure is still present. For other compilers, both
randomized_struct_fields_start and randomized_struct_fields_end default
to empty defines meaning the anonymous structure is not introduced at
all.
So, if a module compiled with Clang, such as a BPF program, needs to
access task_struct fields such as pid and comm, the offsets of these
members as recognized by Clang are different from those recognized by
modules compiled with GCC. If GCC 4.6+ is used to build the kernel,
this can be solved by introducing appropriate defines for Clang so that
the anonymous structure is seen when determining the offsets for the
members.

Prior to v4.11, x86 used warn_slowpath_fmt() for handling WARN()s.
After WARN() was moved to using UD0 on x86, the warning text started
appearing _before_ the "cut here" line. This appears to have been a
long-standing bug on architectures that used __WARN_TAINT, but it didn't
get fixed.
v4.11 and earlier on x86:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2956 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:65 lkdtm_WARNING+0x21/0x30
This is a warning message
Modules linked in:
v4.12 and later on x86:
This is a warning message
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2982 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:68 lkdtm_WARNING+0x15/0x20
Modules linked in:
With this fix:
------------[ cut here ]------------
This is a warning message
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3009 at drivers/misc/lkdtm_bugs.c:67 lkdtm_WARNING+0x15/0x20
Since the __FILE__ reporting happens as part of the UD0 handler, it
isn't trivial to move the message to after the WARNING line, but at
least we can fix the position of the "cut here" line so all the various
logging tools will start including the actual runtime warning message
again, when they follow the instruction and "cut here".

When we pass the result of a multiplication as the timeout or the delay,
we can get a warning from gcc-7:
drivers/mmc/host/bcm2835.c:596:149: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c:247:195: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_hdmi_i2c.c:49:27: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
The warning is a bit questionable inside of a macro, but this is
intentional on the side of the gcc developers. It is also an indication
of another problem: we evaluate the timeout and sleep arguments multiple
times, which can have undesired side-effects when those are complex
expressions.
This changes the two iopoll variants to use local variables for storing
copies of the timeouts. This adds some more type safety, and avoids
both the double-evaluation and the gcc warning.

I like _ONCE warnings because it's guaranteed that they don't flood the
log.
During testing I find it useful to reset the state of the once warnings,
so that I can rerun tests and see if they trigger again, or can
guarantee that a test run always hits the same warnings.
This patch adds a debugfs interface to reset all the _ONCE warnings so
that they appear again:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once
This is implemented by putting all the warning booleans into a special
section, and clearing it.

It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction
if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order. No defragmentation
is occurring in this condition.
It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock
where a hugetlb page is pinned. Unconditionally skip these pageblocks,
and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is
observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned.
It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem
in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages
are freed. This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any
additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

The cleanup caused build warnings for constant mask pointers:
mm/mempolicy.c: In function `mpol_to_str':
./include/linux/nodemask.h:108:11: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as `true' for the address of `nodes' will never be NULL [-Waddress]
An earlier workaround I suggested was incorporated in the version that
got merged, but that only solved the problem for gcc-7 and higher, while
gcc-4.6 through gcc-6.x still warn.
This changes the printing again to use inline functions that make it
clear to the compiler that the line that does the NULL check has no idea
whether the argument is a constant NULL.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
"Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
build success notification.
The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.
- Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file
operation.
- Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
the standardized methods.
- Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
- Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
and SMART alarm threshold control.
- Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This branch contains platform-related driver updates for ARM and
ARM64, these are the areas that bring the changes:
New drivers:
- driver support for Renesas R-Car V3M (R8A77970)
- power management support for Amlogic GX
- a new driver for the Tegra BPMP thermal sensor
- a new bus driver for Technologic Systems NBUS
Changes for subsystems that prefer to merge through arm-soc:
- the usual updates for reset controller drivers from Philipp Zabel,
with five added drivers for SoCs in the arc, meson, socfpa,
uniphier and mediatek families
- updates to the ARM SCPI and PSCI frameworks, from Sudeep Holla,
Heiner Kallweit and Lorenzo Pieralisi
Changes specific to some ARM-based SoC
- the Freescale/NXP DPAA QBMan drivers from PowerPC can now work on
ARM as well
- several changes for power management on Broadcom SoCs
- various improvements on Qualcomm, Broadcom, Amlogic, Atmel,
Mediatek
- minor Cleanups for Samsung, TI OMAP SoCs"
[ NOTE! This doesn't work without the previous ARM SoC device-tree pull,
because the R8A77970 driver is missing a header file that came from
that pull.
The fact that this got merged afterwards only fixes it at this point,
and bisection of that driver will fail if/when you walk into the
history of that driver. - Linus ]

Pull user namespace update from Eric Biederman:
"The only change that is production ready this round is the work to
increase the number of uid and gid mappings a user namespace can
support from 5 to 340.
This code was carefully benchmarked and it was confirmed that in the
existing cases the performance remains the same. In the worst case
with 340 mappings an cache cold stat times go from 158ns to 248ns.
That is noticable but still quite small, and only the people who are
doing crazy things pay the cost.
This work uncovered some documentation and cleanup opportunities in
the mapping code, and patches to make those cleanups and improve the
documentation will be coming in the next merge window"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.
The major points of the overhaul are:
(1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
in progress.
(2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.
(3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
it where possible.
(4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
servers break that restriction.
To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.
(5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
the fscache token for the cell.
(6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
the lifetime of the volume fscache token.
(7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
between those cells).
Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
rather than the address since a server can have multiple
addresses.
(8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.
(9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private
and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.
This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
becomes useless.
(10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
entirely on AFS.
Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
Core:
- The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into a
menuconfig option. This obviously has the implication of making the
subsystem menu visible in menuconfig. This is happening because of
two things:
(a) Intel have started to deploy and depend on pin controllers in
a way that is affecting users directly. This happens on the
highly integrated laptop chipsets named after geographical
places: baytrail, broxton, cannonlake, cedarfork, cherryview,
denverton, geminilake, lewisburg, merrifield, sunrisepoint...
It started a while back and now it is ever more evident that
this is crucial infrastructure for x86 laptops and not an
embedded obscurity anymore. Users need to be aware.
(b) Pin control expanders on I2C and SPI that are arch-agnostic.
Currently Semtech SX150X and Microchip MCP28x08 but more are
expected. Users will have to be able to configure these in
directly for their set-up.
- Just go and select GPIOLIB now that we made sure that GPIOLIB is a
very vanilla subsystem. Do not depend on it, if we need it, select
it.
- Exposing the pin control subsystem in menuconfig uncovered a bunch
of obscure bugs that are now hopefully fixed, all more or less
pertaining to Blackfin.
- Unified namespace for cross-calls between pin control and GPIO.
- New support for clock skew/delay generic DT bindings and generic
pin config options for this.
- Minor documentation improvements.
Various:
- The Renesas SH-PFC pin controller has evolved a lot. It seems
Renesas are churning out new SoCs by the minute.
- A bunch of non-critical fixes for the Rockchip driver.
- Improve the use of library functions instead of open coding.
- Support the MCP28018 variant in the MCP28x08 driver.
- Static constifying"

alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask
which forces both paths to use pr_cont. We can do better. printk
already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach
nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully. This allows
simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of
pr_cont altogether.
This patch has been motivated by patch from Joe Perches

In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
pages for reserved memory in this node.
The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit()
assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
count.
The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).
Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
This is system default setting.
Many thanks to Michal Hocko, Dave Hansen, Ying Huang and Vlastimil Babka

According to Vlastimil Babka, the drained field in pagevec is
potentially misleading because it might be interpreted as draining this
pagevec instead of the percpu lru pagevecs. Rename the field for
clarity.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.
The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page
should be more obvious.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used
multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then
releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU
pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on
those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the
first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being
walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race,
the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs
costs.
This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given
lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec
structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have
many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently.

The impact on bonnie is marginal and within the noise because a
significant percentage of the file being truncated has been reclaimed
and consists of shadow entries which reduce the hotness of the
pagevec_release path.

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.
This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected. The
differences in bonnie are all within the noise which is not surprising
given the impact on the microbenchmark.
radix_tree_update_node_t is a callback for some radix operations that
optionally passes in a private field. The only user of the callback is
workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

Currently we remove pages from the radix tree one by one. To speed up
page cache truncation, lock several pages at once and free them in one
go. This allows us to batch radix tree operations in a more efficient
way and also save round-trips on mapping->tree_lock. As a result we
gain about 20% speed improvement in page cache truncation.
Data from a simple benchmark timing 10000 truncates of 1024 pages (on
ext4 on ramdisk but the filesystem is barely visible in the profiles).
The range shows 1% and 95% percentiles of the measured times:
4.14-rc2 4.14-rc2 + batched truncation

249-258 209-217

Patch series "Speed up page cache truncation", v1.
When rebasing our enterprise distro to a newer kernel (from 4.4 to 4.12)
we have noticed a regression in bonnie++ benchmark when deleting files.
Eventually we have tracked this down to a fact that page cache
truncation got slower by about 10%. There were both gains and losses in
the above interval of kernels but we have been able to identify that
commit 83929372f629 ("filemap: prepare find and delete operations for
huge pages") caused about 10% regression on its own.
After some investigation it didn't seem easily possible to fix the
regression while maintaining the THP in page cache functionality so
we've decided to optimize the page cache truncation path instead to make
up for the change. This series is a result of that effort.
Patch 1 is an easy speedup of cancel_dirty_page(). Patches 2-6 refactor
page cache truncation code so that it is easier to batch radix tree
operations. Patch 7 implements batching of deletes from the radix tree
which more than makes up for the original regression.
This patch (of 7):
cancel_dirty_page() does quite some work even for clean pages (fetching
of mapping, locking of memcg, atomic bit op on page flags) so it
accounts for ~2.5% of cost of truncation of a clean page. That is not
much but still dumb for something we don't need at all. Check whether a
page is actually dirty and avoid any work if not.

Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory
(because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved.
Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by
going through __init_single_page().
In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not
contain any data. One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags
if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM,
SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS).
One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally
reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the
exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e. KVM).
Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during
allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly.
The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator:
for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end)
Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages
explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page().
===
Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing:
Run tested on qemu with the following arguments:
-enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2
This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages.
They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255].
Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does
not reserve [159, 255] ones.
e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are
available:
[1 , 158]
[256, 130783]
Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing!
Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039]
pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are.
However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct
pages is with memory hotplug. Because, that path operates at 2M
boundaries (section_nr). And checks if 2M range of pages is hot
removable. It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M
boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is
created), and checks if that section is hot removable. In this case
start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0. Later pfn is converted
to struct page, and some fields are checked. Now, if we do not zero
struct pages, we get unpredictable results.
In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all
vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test
without this patch applied:
