<id>urn:sha1:a08a2ae3461383c2d50d0997dcc6cd1dd1fefb08</id>
<content type='text'>
Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section.  Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.

This has some disadvantages:
 a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
    (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
    This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
    the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
    it is onlined.
 b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
    which has performance drawbacks.
 c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
    populated with base pages.

This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory.  That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables.  This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.

There are some non-obviously things to consider though.

Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed.  This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used.  The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns.  The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined.  For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g.  vmemmap
page tables).

The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory).  That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.

As per above, the functions that are introduced are:

 - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
   Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
   kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
   fully span.

 - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
   Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
   range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
   kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.

The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages().  Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().  Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.

On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages().  This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty.  If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages.  If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().

Hot-remove:

 We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
 removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
 To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
 memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
 vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
 block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.

 If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
 we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
 thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

We should not pin pages in ZONE_MOVABLE.  Currently, we do not pin only
movable CMA pages.  Generalize the function that migrates CMA pages to
migrate all movable pages.  Use is_pinnable_page() to check which pages

<title>mm/gup: do not migrate zero page</title>

<content type='text'>
On some platforms ZERO_PAGE(0) might end-up in a movable zone.  Do not
migrate zero page in gup during longterm pinning as migration of zero page
is not allowed.

For example, in x86 QEMU with 16G of memory and kernelcore=5G parameter, I
see the following:

Boot#1: zero_pfn  0x48a8d zero_pfn zone: ZONE_DMA32
Boot#2: zero_pfn 0x20168d zero_pfn zone: ZONE_MOVABLE

On x86, empty_zero_page is declared in .bss and depending on the loader
may end up in different physical locations during boots.

Also, move is_zero_pfn() my_zero_pfn() functions under CONFIG_MMU, because
zero_pfn that they are using is declared in memory.c which is compiled
with CONFIG_MMU.

<title>mm: teach pfn_to_online_page() about ZONE_DEVICE section collisions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1f90a3477df3ff1a91e064af554cdc887c8f9e5e</id>
<content type='text'>
While pfn_to_online_page() is able to determine pfn_valid() at subsection
granularity it is not able to reliably determine if a given pfn is also
online if the section is mixes ZONE_{NORMAL,MOVABLE} with ZONE_DEVICE.
This means that pfn_to_online_page() may return invalid @page objects.
For example with a memory map like:

100000000-1fbffffff : System RAM
  142000000-143002e16 : Kernel code
  143200000-143713fff : Kernel rodata
  143800000-143b15b7f : Kernel data
  144227000-144ffffff : Kernel bss
1fc000000-2fbffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
  1fc000000-2fbffffff : namespace0.0

This command:

echo 0x1fc000000 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page

...succeeds when it should fail.  When it succeeds it touches an
uninitialized page and may crash or cause other damage (see
dissolve_free_huge_page()).

While the memory map above is contrived via the memmap=ss!nn kernel
command line option, the collision happens in practice on shipping
platforms.  The memory controller resources that decode spans of physical
address space are a limited resource.  One technique platform-firmware
uses to conserve those resources is to share a decoder across 2 devices to
keep the address range contiguous.  Unfortunately the unit of operation of
a decoder is 64MiB while the Linux section size is 128MiB.  This results
in situations where, without subsection hotplug memory mappings with
different lifetimes collide into one object that can only express one
lifetime.

Update move_pfn_range_to_zone() to flag (SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE) a
section that mixes ZONE_DEVICE pfns with other online pfns.  With
SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE to delineate, pfn_to_online_page() can fall back
to a slow-path check for ZONE_DEVICE pfns in an online section.  In the
fast path online_section() for a full ZONE_DEVICE section returns false.

Because the collision case is rare, and for simplicity, the
SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE flag is never cleared once set.

<title>mm/page_alloc: count CMA pages per zone and print them in /proc/zoneinfo</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3c381db1fac80373f2cc0d8c1d0bcfbf8bd4fb57</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's count the number of CMA pages per zone and print them in
/proc/zoneinfo.

Having access to the total number of CMA pages per zone is helpful for
debugging purposes to know where exactly the CMA pages ended up, and to
figure out how many pages of a zone might behave differently, even after
some of these pages might already have been allocated.

As one example, CMA pages part of a kernel zone cannot be used for
ordinary kernel allocations but instead behave more like ZONE_MOVABLE.

For now, we are only able to get the global nr+free cma pages from
/proc/meminfo and the free cma pages per zone from /proc/zoneinfo.

Example after this patch when booting a 6 GiB QEMU VM with
"hugetlb_cma=2G":
  # cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep cma
          cma      0
        nr_free_cma  0
          cma      0
        nr_free_cma  0
          cma      524288
        nr_free_cma  493016
          cma      0
          cma      0
  # cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
  CmaTotal:        2097152 kB
  CmaFree:         1972064 kB

Note: We print even without CONFIG_CMA, just like "nr_free_cma"; this way,
      one can be sure when spotting "cma 0", that there are definetly no
      CMA pages located in a zone.

This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2.  The swapcache
represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the
swap limit of the cgroup.  The main motivation behind exposing the
swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup
v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters.

Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a
workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap.
Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more
control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the
workload.

With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the
sum of the v2's memory and swap limits.  However the alternative for memsw
usage is not yet available in cgroup v2.  Exposing per-cgroup swapcache
stat enables that alternative.  Adding the memory usage and swap usage and
subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage.  This will
help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw
usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters.

The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate
memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two
separate memory and swap usage metrics.  A single usage metric is more
simple to use and reason about for them.

(2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from
the applications.  Applications with multiple instances running in a
datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will
keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

Currently we use struct per_cpu_nodestat to cache the vmstat counters,
which leads to inaccurate statistics especially THP vmstat counters.  In
the systems with hundreds of processors it can be GBs of memory.  For
example, for a 96 CPUs system, the threshold is the maximum number of 125.
And the per cpu counters can cache 23.4375 GB in total.

The THP page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth
of memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like sensible.
Although every THP stats update overflows the per-cpu counter, resorting
to atomic global updates.  But it can make the statistics more accuracy
for the THP vmstat counters.

So we convert the NR_FILE_PMDMAPPED account to pages.  This patch is
consistent with 8f182270dfec ("mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page
arrival").  Doing this also can make the unit of vmstat counters more
unified.  Finally, the unit of the vmstat counters are pages, kB and
bytes.  The B/KB suffix can tell us that the unit is bytes or kB.  The
rest which is without suffix are pages.
