Freeing pages to uninitialized zones is not handled by __free_one_page(), and should never happen when the code is correct. Ran into this while writing some code that dynamically onlines extra zones.

Add 2 helpers (zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()) to reduce code duplication. This also switches to using them in compaction (where an additional variable needed to be renamed), page_alloc, vmstat, memory_hotplug, and kmemleak. Note that in compaction.c I avoid calling zone_end_pfn() repeatedly because I expect at some point the sycronization issues with start_pfn & spanned_pages will need fixing, either by actually using the seqlock or clever memory barrier usage.

No functional change, but the only purpose of the offlining argument to migrate_pages() etc, was to ensure that __unmap_and_move() could migrate a KSM page for memory hotremove (which took ksm_thread_mutex) but not for other callers.

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

This patch introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO on process flag('flags' field of 'struct task_struct'), so that the flag can be set by one task to avoid doing I/O inside memory allocation in the task's context. The patch trys to solve one deadlock problem caused by block device, and the problem may happen at least in the below situations: - during block device runtime resume, if memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL is called inside runtime resume callback of any one of its ancestors(or the block device itself), the deadlock may be triggered inside the memory allocation since it might not complete until the block device becomes active and the involed page I/O finishes. The situation is pointed out first by Alan Stern. It is not a good approach to convert all GFP_KERNEL[1] in the path into GFP_NOIO because several subsystems may be involved(for example, PCI, USB and SCSI may be involved for usb mass stoarage device, network devices involved too in the iSCSI case) - during block device runtime suspend, because runtime resume need to wait for completion of concurrent runtime suspend. - during error handling of usb mass storage deivce, USB bus reset will be put on the device, so there shouldn't have any memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL during USB bus reset, otherwise the deadlock similar with above may be triggered. Unfortunately, any usb device may include one mass storage interface in theory, so it requires all usb interface drivers to handle the situation. In fact, most usb drivers don't know how to handle bus reset on the device and don't provide .pre_set() and .post_reset() callback at all, so USB core has to unbind and bind driver for these devices. So it is still not practical to resort to GFP_NOIO for solving the problem. Also the introduced solution can be used by block subsystem or block drivers too, for example, set the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag before doing actual I/O transfer. It is not a good idea to convert all these GFP_KERNEL in the affected path into GFP_NOIO because these functions doing that may be implemented as library and will be called in many other contexts. In fact, memalloc_noio_flags() can convert some of current static GFP_NOIO allocation into GFP_KERNEL back in other non-affected contexts, at least almost all GFP_NOIO in USB subsystem can be converted into GFP_KERNEL after applying the approach and make allocation with GFP_NOIO only happen in runtime resume/bus reset/block I/O transfer contexts generally. [1], several GFP_KERNEL allocation examples in runtime resume path - pci subsystem acpi_os_allocate <-acpi_ut_allocate <-ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED <-acpi_evaluate_object <-__acpi_bus_set_power <-acpi_bus_set_power <-acpi_pci_set_power_state <-platform_pci_set_power_state <-pci_platform_power_transition <-__pci_complete_power_transition <-pci_set_power_state <-pci_restore_standard_config <-pci_pm_runtime_resume - usb subsystem usb_get_status <-finish_port_resume <-usb_port_resume <-generic_resume <-usb_resume_device <-usb_resume_both <-usb_runtime_resume - some individual usb drivers usblp, uvc, gspca, most of dvb-usb-v2 media drivers, cpia2, az6007, .... That is just what I have found. Unfortunately, this allocation can only be found by human being now, and there should be many not found since any function in the resume path(call tree) may allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL.

We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical memory address in kernel commandline. /* * For movablemem_map=acpi: * * SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ...... * node id: 0 1 1 2 * hotpluggable: n y y n * movablemem_map: |_____| |_________| * * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time. */ So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable. Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use. NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use it.

When implementing movablemem_map boot option, we introduced an array movablemem_map.map[] to store the memory ranges to be set as ZONE_MOVABLE. Since ZONE_MOVABLE is the latst zone of a node, if user didn't specify the whole node memory range, we need to extend it to the node end so that we can use it to prevent memblock from allocating memory in the ranges user didn't specify.

Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment.

Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested.

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct. Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB: pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97 0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97 0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98 0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98 This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation. For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen. Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from visual glitches to application failures.

Commit 702d1a6e ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem. Then later, commit 2139cbe6 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter. It made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice making free pages counter incorrect). This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.

When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed. To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason, whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of __free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

While allocating pages using buddy allocator, the compound page is probably split up to free pages. Under these circumstances, the compound page should be destroyed by destroy_compound_page(). However, there is a duplicate check to judge if the page is compound. Remove the duplicate check since the compound_order() returns 0 when the page doesn't have PG_head set in destroy_compound_page(). That is to say, destroy_compound_page() needn't check PageHead().

If SPARSEMEM is enabled, it won't build page structures for non-existing pages (holes) within a zone, so provide a more accurate estimation of pages occupied by memmap if there are bigger holes within the zone. And pages for highmem zones' memmap will be allocated from lowmem, so charge nr_kernel_pages for that.

Currently a zone's present_pages is calcuated as below, which is inaccurate and may cause trouble to memory hotplug. spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve. During fixing bugs caused by inaccurate zone->present_pages, we found zone->present_pages has been abused. The field zone->present_pages may have different meanings in different contexts: 1) pages existing in a zone. 2) pages managed by the buddy system. For more discussions about the issue, please refer to: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/ This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system". And revert zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages. We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is inaccurate. For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to: (spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve) Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem(). The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones' managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages" in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore. This patch also adds a new field "managed_pages" to /proc/zoneinfo and sysrq showmem.

We use __free_page() to put a page to buddy system when onlining pages. __free_page() will store NR_FREE_PAGES in zone's pcp.vm_stat_diff, so we should allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages, otherwise we will lose some free pages.

NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec NR_FREE_PAGES like this now: 1. move all pages in buddy system to MIGRATE_ISOLATE, and dec NR_FREE_PAGES 2. don't add NR_FREE_PAGES when it is freed and the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE 3. dec NR_FREE_PAGES when offlining isolated pages. 4. add NR_FREE_PAGES when undoing isolate pages. When we come to step 3, all pages are in MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, and NR_FREE_PAGES are right. When we come to step4, all pages are not in buddy system, so we don't change NR_FREE_PAGES in this step, but we change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. So NR_FREE_PAGES is wrong after offlining pages. So there is no need to change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. This patch also fixs a problem in step2: if the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE, we should not add NR_FRR_PAGES when we remove pages from pcppages.
