The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result,
kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable
memory for the kernel.
ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug
info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate
memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this.
In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be
unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least
16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely
unhotpluggable.
So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and
to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't
be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image.
The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch
introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up.
And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we
will limit the start address above the kernel.

[Problem]
The current Linux cannot migrate pages used by the kernel because of the
kernel direct mapping. In Linux kernel space, va = pa + PAGE_OFFSET.
When the pa is changed, we cannot simply update the pagetable and keep the
va unmodified. So the kernel pages are not migratable.
There are also some other issues will cause the kernel pages not
migratable. For example, the physical address may be cached somewhere and
will be used. It is not to update all the caches.
When doing memory hotplug in Linux, we first migrate all the pages in one
memory device somewhere else, and then remove the device. But if pages
are used by the kernel, they are not migratable. As a result, memory used
by the kernel cannot be hot-removed.
Modifying the kernel direct mapping mechanism is too difficult to do. And
it may cause the kernel performance down and unstable. So we use the
following way to do memory hotplug.
[What we are doing]
In Linux, memory in one numa node is divided into several zones. One of
the zones is ZONE_MOVABLE, which the kernel won't use.
In order to implement memory hotplug in Linux, we are going to arrange all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use these
memory. To do this, we need ACPI's help.
In ACPI, SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) contains NUMA info. The
memory affinities in SRAT record every memory range in the system, and
also, flags specifying if the memory range is hotpluggable. (Please refer
to ACPI spec 5.0 5.2.16)
With the help of SRAT, we have to do the following two things to achieve our
goal:
1. When doing memory hot-add, allow the users arranging hotpluggable as
ZONE_MOVABLE.
(This has been done by the MOVABLE_NODE functionality in Linux.)
2. when the system is booting, prevent bootmem allocator from allocating
hotpluggable memory for the kernel before the memory initialization
finishes.
The problem 2 is the key problem we are going to solve. But before solving it,
we need some preparation. Please see below.
[Preparation]
Bootloader has to load the kernel image into memory. And this memory must
be unhotpluggable. We cannot prevent this anyway. So in a memory hotplug
system, we can assume any node the kernel resides in is not hotpluggable.
Before SRAT is parsed, we don't know which memory ranges are hotpluggable.
But memblock has already started to work. In the current kernel,
memblock allocates the following memory before SRAT is parsed:
setup_arch()
|->memblock_x86_fill() /* memblock is ready */
|......
|->early_reserve_e820_mpc_new() /* allocate memory under 1MB */
|->reserve_real_mode() /* allocate memory under 1MB */
|->init_mem_mapping() /* allocate page tables, about 2MB to map 1GB memory */
|->dma_contiguous_reserve() /* specified by user, should be low */
|->setup_log_buf() /* specified by user, several mega bytes */
|->relocate_initrd() /* could be large, but will be freed after boot, should reorder */
|->acpi_initrd_override() /* several mega bytes */
|->reserve_crashkernel() /* could be large, should reorder */
|......
|->initmem_init() /* Parse SRAT */
According to Tejun's advice, before SRAT is parsed, we should try our best
to allocate memory near the kernel image. Since the whole node the kernel
resides in won't be hotpluggable, and for a modern server, a node may have
at least 16GB memory, allocating several mega bytes memory around the
kernel image won't cross to hotpluggable memory.
[About this patchset]
So this patchset is the preparation for the problem 2 that we want to
solve. It does the following:
1. Make memblock be able to allocate memory bottom up.
1) Keep all the memblock APIs' prototype unmodified.
2) When the direction is bottom up, keep the start address greater than the
end of kernel image.
2. Improve init_mem_mapping() to support allocate page tables in
bottom up direction.
3. Introduce "movable_node" boot option to enable and disable this
functionality.
This patch (of 6):
Create a new function __memblock_find_range_top_down to factor out of
top-down allocation from memblock_find_in_range_node. This is a
preparation because we will introduce a new bottom-up allocation mode in
the following patch.

Current early_pfn_to_nid() on arch that support memblock go over
memblock.memory one by one, so will take too many try near the end.
We can use existing memblock_search to find the node id for given pfn,
that could save some time on bigger system that have many entries
memblock.memory array.
Here are the timing differences for several machines. In each case with
the patch less time was spent in __early_pfn_to_nid().

This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for
copying flattended DT). If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator
round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0.
round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1
While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is better
to warn the caller to fix the code.
Tejun suggested that instead of BUG_ON(!align) - which might be
ineffective due to pending console init and such, it is better to WARN_ON,
and continue the boot with a reasonable default align.
Caller passing @size need not be handled similarly as the subsequent
panic will indicate that anyhow.

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")
It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
and make fall back path working.
2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
it should be moved before that....
c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
early before override from INITRD is settled.
3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
be routed via tip/x86/mm.
4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
anymore.
d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
not good.
If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.
We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.
So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
f7210e6c4ac7 ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
01a178a94e8e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
SRAT")
27168d38fa20 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
the end of node")
e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
ready")
fb06bc8e5f42 ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")
42f47e27e761 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
6981ec31146c ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
movable limit for nodes")
34b71f1e04fc ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
4d59a75125d5 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the
index of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size
of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)).
Since the remaining elements of the memblock array are move forward by
one element and there is only one additional element caused by this bug.
So there won't be any write overflow here but read overflow. It may
read one more element out of the array address if the array happens to
be full. Commonly it doesn't matter at all but if the array happens to
be located at the end a memblock, it may cause a invalid read operation
for the physical address doesn't exist.
There are 2 *happens to be* here, so I think the probability is quite
low, I don't know if any guy is haunted by this bug before.
Mostly I think it's user-invisible.

__alloc_memory_core_early() asks memblock for a range of memory then try
to reserve it. If the reserved region array lacks space for the new
range, memblock_double_array() is called to allocate more space for the
array. If memblock is used to allocate memory for the new array it can
end up using a range that overlaps with the range originally allocated in
__alloc_memory_core_early(), leading to possible data corruption.
With this patch memblock_double_array() now calls memblock_find_in_range()
with a narrowed candidate range (in cases where the reserved.regions array
is being doubled) so any memory allocated will not overlap with the
original range that was being reserved. The range is narrowed by passing
in the starting address and size of the previously allocated range. Then
the range above the ending address is searched and if a candidate is not
found, the range below the starting address is searched.

At first glance one would think that memblock_is_region_memory()
and memblock_is_region_reserved() would be implemented in the
same way. Unfortunately they aren't and the former returns
whether the region specified is a subset of a memory bank while
the latter returns whether the region specified intersects with
reserved memory.
Document the two functions so that users aren't tempted to
make the implementation the same between them and to clarify the
purpose of the functions.

The overall memblock has been organized into the memory regions and
reserved regions. Initially, the memory regions and reserved regions are
stored in the predetermined arrays of "struct memblock _region". It's
possible for the arrays to be enlarged when we have newly added regions,
but no free space left there. The policy here is to create double-sized
array either by slab allocator or memblock allocator. Unfortunately, we
didn't free the old array, which might be allocated through slab allocator
before. That would cause memory leak.
The patch introduces 2 variables to trace where (slab or memblock) the
memory and reserved regions come from. The memory for the memory or
reserved regions will be deallocated by kfree() if that was allocated by
slab allocator. Thus to fix the memory leak issue.

implementation converted the VA (Virtual Address) of the newly allocated

allocates the new array from slab. That's actually unnecessary.
The patch removes the duplicate VA/PA conversion.

Commit 24aa07882b ("memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/
free_range() with generic ones") replaced x86 specific memblock
operations with the generic ones; unfortunately, it lost zero length
operation handling in the process making the kernel panic if somebody
tries to reserve zero length area.
There isn't much to be gained by being cranky to zero length operations
and panicking is almost the worst response. Drop the BUG_ON() in
memblock_reserve() and update memblock_add_region/isolate_range() so
that all zero length operations are handled as noops.

memblock allocator aligns @size to @align to reduce the amount
of fragmentation. Commit:
7bd0b0f0da ("memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using reverse free area iterator")
Broke it by incorrectly relocating @size aligning to
memblock_find_in_range_node(). As the aligned size is not
propagated back to memblock_alloc_base_nid(), the actually
reserved size isn't aligned.
While this increases memory use for memblock reserved array,
this shouldn't cause any critical failure; however, it seems
that the size aligning was hiding a use-beyond-allocation bug in
sparc64 and losing the aligning causes boot failure.
The underlying problem is currently being debugged but this is a
proper fix in itself, it's already pretty late in -rc cycle for
boot failures and reverting the change for debugging isn't
difficult. Restore the size aligning moving it to
memblock_alloc_base_nid().

memblock_find_in_range_node()
7bd0b0f0da ("memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using
reverse free area iterator") implemented a simple top-down
allocator using a reverse memblock iterator. To avoid underflow
in the allocator loop, it simply raised the lower boundary to
the requested size under the assumption that requested size
would be far smaller than available memblocks.
This causes early page table allocation failure under certain
configurations in Xen. Fix it by checking for underflow directly
instead of bumping up lower bound.

Now that all early memory information is in memblock when enabled, we
can implement reverse free area iterator and use it to implement NUMA
aware allocator which is then wrapped for simpler variants instead of
the confusing and inefficient mending of information in separate NUMA
aware allocator.
Implement for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(), use it to reimplement
memblock_find_in_range_node() which in turn is used by all allocators.
The visible allocator interface is inconsistent and can probably use
some cleanup too.

Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP -
there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and
replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also,
relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h
as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation.
This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any
observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are
some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c
and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK
doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for
functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice.

Total size of memory regions was calculated by memblock_analyze()
requiring explicitly calling the function between operations which can
change memory regions and possible users of total size, which is
cumbersome and fragile.
This patch makes each memblock_type track total size automatically
with minor modifications to memblock manipulation functions and remove
requirements on calling memblock_analyze(). [__]memblock_dump_all()
now also dumps the total size of reserved regions.

memblock_set_node() operates in three steps - break regions crossing
boundaries, set nid and merge back regions. This patch separates the
first part into a separate function - memblock_isolate_range(), which
breaks regions crossing range boundaries and returns range index range
for regions properly contained in the specified memory range.
This doesn't introduce any behavior change and will be used to further
unify region handling.

memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
memblock_init() can be removed. This patch kills memblock_init() and
initializes memblock with struct initializer.
The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
set to MAX_NUMNODES initially. This doesn't cause any behavior
difference.

Add optional region->nid which can be enabled by arch using
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. When enabled, memblock also carries
NUMA node information and replaces early_node_map[].
Newly added memblocks have MAX_NUMNODES as nid. Arch can then call
memblock_set_node() to set node information. memblock takes care of
merging and node affine allocations w.r.t. node information.
When MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, early_node_map[], related data
structures and functions to manipulate and iterate it are disabled.
memblock version of __next_mem_pfn_range() is provided such that
for_each_mem_pfn_range() behaves the same and its users don't have to

memblock_add_region() carefully checked for merge and overlap
conditions while adding a new region, which is complicated and makes
it difficult to allow arbitrary overlaps or add more merge conditions
(e.g. node ID).
This re-implements memblock_add_region() such that insertion is done
in two steps - all non-overlapping portions of new area are inserted
as separate regions first and then memblock_merge_regions() scan and
merge all neighbouring compatible regions.
This makes addition logic simpler and more versatile and enables
adding node information to memblock.
