Commit b15c87263a ("hwpoison, memory_hotplug: allow hwpoisoned pages to
be offlined") don't handle the hugetlb pages, the endless loop still occur
if offline a hwpoison hugetlb page, luckly, after the commit e591ef7d96
("mm, hwpoison,hugetlb,memory_hotplug: hotremove memory section with
hwpoisoned hugepage"), the HPageMigratable of hugetlb page will be
cleared, and the hwpoison hugetlb page will be skipped in
scan_movable_pages(), so the endless loop issue is fixed.
However if the HPageMigratable() check passed(without reference and lock),
the hugetlb page may be hwpoisoned, it won't cause issue since the
hwpoisoned page will be handled correctly in the next movable pages scan
loop, and it will be isolated in do_migrate_range() but fails to migrate.
In order to avoid the unnecessary isolation and unify all hwpoisoned page
handling, let's unconditionally check hwpoison firstly, and if it is a
hwpoisoned hugetlb page, try to unmap it as the catch all safety net like
normal page does.

iounmap() on x86 occasionally fails to unmap because the provided valid
ioremap address is not below high_memory. It turned out that this
happens due to KASLR.
KASLR uses the full address space between PAGE_OFFSET and vaddr_end to
randomize the starting points of the direct map, vmalloc and vmemmap
regions. It thereby limits the size of the direct map by using the
installed memory size plus an extra configurable margin for hot-plug
memory. This limitation is done to gain more randomization space
because otherwise only the holes between the direct map, vmalloc,
vmemmap and vaddr_end would be usable for randomizing.
The limited direct map size is not exposed to the rest of the kernel, so
the memory hot-plug and resource management related code paths still
operate under the assumption that the available address space can be
determined with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
request_free_mem_region() allocates from (1 << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1
downwards. That means the first allocation happens past the end of the
direct map and if unlucky this address is in the vmalloc space, which
causes high_memory to become greater than VMALLOC_START and consequently
causes iounmap() to fail for valid ioremap addresses.
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS cannot be changed for that because the randomization
does not align with address bit boundaries and there are other places
which actually require to know the maximum number of address bits. All
remaining usage sites of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS have been analyzed and found
to be correct.
Cure this by exposing the end of the direct map via PHYSMEM_END and use
that for the memory hot-plug and resource management related places
instead of relying on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. In the KASLR case PHYSMEM_END
maps to a variable which is initialized by the KASLR initialization and
otherwise it is based on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS as before.
To prevent future hickups add a check into add_pages() to catch callers
trying to add memory above PHYSMEM_END.

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()->__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.

The call for memblock_phys_free() in try_remove_memory() does not balance
any call to memblock_alloc() (or memblock_reserve() for that matter).
There are no memblock_reserve() calls in mm/memory_hotplug.c, no memblock
allocations possible after mm_core_init(), and even if memblock_add_node()
called from add_memory_resource() would need to allocate memory, that
memory would ba allocated from slab.
The patch f9126ab924 ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new
node") that introduced that call to memblock_free() does not provide
adequate description why that was required and tinkering with memblock in
the context of memory hotplug on x86 seems bogus because x86 never kept
memblock after boot anyway.
Drop memblock_phys_free() call in try_remove_memory().

Patch series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
This series provides "memmap on memory" support on s390 platform. "memmap
on memory" allows struct pages array to be allocated from the hotplugged
memory range instead of allocating it from main system memory.
s390 currently preallocates struct pages array for all potentially
possible memory, which ensures memory onlining always succeeds, but with
the cost of significant memory consumption from the available system
memory during boottime. In certain extreme configuration, this could lead
to ipl failure.
"memmap on memory" ensures struct pages array are populated from self
contained hotplugged memory range instead of depleting the available
system memory and this could eliminate ipl failure on s390 platform.
On other platforms, system might go OOM when the physically hotplugged
memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined. Hence, "memmap
on memory" feature was introduced as described in commit a08a2ae346
("mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range").
Unlike other architectures, s390 memory blocks are not physically
accessible until it is online. To make it physically accessible two new
memory notifiers MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE / MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE are added and
this notifier lets the hypervisor inform that the memory should be made
physically accessible. This allows for "memmap on memory" initialization
during memory hotplug onlining phase, which is performed before calling
MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier.
Patch 1 introduces MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers
to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state. New mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced to ensure
altmap cannot be written when adding memory - before it is set online.
This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on memory"
feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.
Patches 2 allocates vmemmap pages from self-contained memory range for
s390. It allocates memory map (struct pages array) from the hotplugged
memory range, rather than using system memory by passing altmap to vmemmap
functions.
Patch 3 removes unhandled memory notifier types on s390.
Patch 4 implements MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers
on s390. MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block physical
accessible via sclp assign command. The notifier ensures self-contained
memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap on memory" on
s390. MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory block to an
inaccessible state via sclp unassign command.
Patch 5 finally enables MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY on s390.
This patch (of 5):
Introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers to
prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state. This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on
memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.
Platforms such as x86 can support physical memory hotplug via ACPI. When
there is physical memory hotplug, ACPI event leads to the memory addition
with the following callchain:
acpi_memory_device_add()
-> acpi_memory_enable_device()
-> __add_memory()
After this, the hotplugged memory is physically accessible, and altmap
support prepared, before the "memmap on memory" initialization in
memory_block_online() is called.
On s390, memory hotplug works in a different way. The available hotplug
memory has to be defined upfront in the hypervisor, but it is made
physically accessible only when the user sets it online via sysfs,
currently in the MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier. This is too late and "memmap
on memory" initialization is performed before calling MEM_GOING_ONLINE
notifier.
During the memory hotplug addition phase, altmap support is prepared and
during the memory onlining phase s390 requires memory to be physically
accessible and then subsequently initiate the "memmap on memory"
initialization process.
The memory provider will handle new MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE /
MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifications and make the memory accessible.
The mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced and is relevant when
used along with MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY, because the altmap cannot be written
(e.g., poisoned) when adding memory -- before it is set online. This
allows for adding memory with an altmap that is not currently made
available by a hypervisor. When onlining that memory, the hypervisor can
be instructed to make that memory accessible via the new notifiers and the
onlining phase will not require any memory allocations, which is helpful
in low-memory situations.
All architectures ignore unknown memory notifiers. Therefore, the
introduction of these new notifiers does not result in any functional
modifications across architectures.

set_memmap_mode() stores the kernel parameter memmap mode as an integer.
However, the get_memmap_mode() function utilizes param_get_bool() to fetch
the value as a boolean, leading to potential endianness issue. On
Big-endian architectures, the memmap_on_memory is consistently displayed
as 'N' regardless of its actual status.
To address this endianness problem, the solution involves obtaining the
mode as an integer. This adjustment ensures the proper display of the
memmap_on_memory parameter, presenting it as one of the following options:
Force, Y, or N.

The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is restricted to
'memblock_size' chunks of memory being added. Adding a larger span of
memory precludes memmap_on_memory semantics.
For users of hotplug such as kmem, large amounts of memory might get added
from the CXL subsystem. In some cases, this amount may exceed the
available 'main memory' to store the memmap for the memory being added.
In this case, it is useful to have a way to place the memmap on the memory
being added, even if it means splitting the addition into memblock-sized
chunks.
Change add_memory_resource() to loop over memblock-sized chunks of memory
if caller requested memmap_on_memory, and if other conditions for it are
met. Teach try_remove_memory() to also expect that a memory range being
removed might have been split up into memblock sized chunks, and to loop
through those as needed.
This does preclude being able to use PUD mappings in the direct map; a
proposal to how this could be optimized in the future is laid out here[1].

Patch series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem", v10.
The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory
originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device
memories'. There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory
available to fit the memmap for this new memory. It's therefore
desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory to
place its memmap on the newly added memory itself.
The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory
can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one
memblock. To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an
add_memory() request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory()
to also expect and handle such a scenario.
Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup()
Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting
add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks.
Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory
semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to
off to keep existing behavior unchanged.
This patch (of 3):
A review of the memmap_on_memory modifications to add_memory_resource()
revealed an instance of an open-coded kmemdup(). Replace it with
kmemdup().

In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after
successful call to arch_add_memory(). However, creation of memory block
devices could fail. In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to
perform necessary cleanup.
Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always
passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling. This leads to
freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation
might have been performed with altmap support via
altmap_alloc_block_buf().
Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This
ensures the following:
* When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs
via free_pages().
* When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().

From Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst:
When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing
heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock
in write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone
variables).
mhp_(de)init_memmap_on_memory() functions can change zone stats and
struct page content, but they are currently called w/o the
mem_hotplug_lock.
When memory block is being offlined and when kmemleak goes through each
populated zone, the following theoretical race conditions could occur:
CPU 0: | CPU 1:
memory_offline() |
-> offline_pages() |
-> mem_hotplug_begin() |
... |
-> mem_hotplug_done() |
| kmemleak_scan()
| -> get_online_mems()
| ...
-> mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() |
[not protected by mem_hotplug_begin/done()]|
Marks memory section as offline, | Retrieves zone_start_pfn
poisons vmemmap struct pages and updates | and struct page members.
the zone related data |
| ...
| -> put_online_mems()
Fix this by ensuring mem_hotplug_lock is taken before performing
mhp_init_memmap_on_memory(). Also ensure that
mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory() holds the lock.
online/offline_pages() are currently only called from
memory_block_online/offline(), so it is safe to move the locking there.

When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers
directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed
to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP. Use pfn calculation to
handle it properly.
Without the fix, a wrong number of page might be skipped. Since skip cannot be
negative, scan_movable_page() will end early and might miss a movable page with
-ENOENT. This might fail offline_pages(). No bug is reported. The fix comes
from code inspection.

Currently, memmap_on_memory feature is only supported with memory block
sizes that result in vmemmap pages covering full page blocks. This is
because memory onlining/offlining code requires applicable ranges to be
pageblock-aligned, for example, to set the migratetypes properly.
This patch helps to lift that restriction by reserving more pages than
required for vmemmap space. This helps the start address to be page block
aligned with different memory block sizes. Using this facility implies
the kernel will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock. This
allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful with different
memory block size values.
For ex: with 64K page size and 256MiB memory block size, we require 4
pages to map vmemmap pages, To align things correctly we end up adding a
reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096 pages 28 pages get reserved.

Let's update the documentation that any signal is sufficient, and add a
comment that not only checking for fatal signals is historical baggage:
changing it now could break existing user space. although unlikely.
For example, when an app provides a custom SIGALRM handler and triggers
memory offlining, the timeout cmd would no longer stop memory offlining,
because SIGALRM would no longer be considered a fatal signal.
Note that using signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending() is
an anti-pattern, but slowly deprecating that behavior to eventually
change it in the far future is probably not worth the effort. If this
ever becomes relevant for user-space, we might want to rethink.

managed pages has already been set to 0 in free_area_init_core_hotplug(),
via zone_init_internals() on each zone. It's pointless to reset again.
Furthermore, reset_node_managed_pages() no longer needs to be exposed
outside of mm/memblock.c. Remove declaration in include/linux/memblock.h
and define it as static.
In addtion to this, the only caller of reset_node_managed_pages() is
reset_all_zones_managed_pages(), which is annotated with __init, so it
should be safe to also mark reset_node_managed_pages() as __init.

involve memory hotplug lock in kcompactd(), so let's add a new mutex to

Also, because the kcompactd task will check the state of kswapd task, it's
better to call kcompactd_stop() before kswapd_stop() to reduce lock

For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the
feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes
precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants
to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over
hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to
succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of
making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant.
The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the
section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the
section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself,
hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do
the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this
patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap
pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page
can be optimized.

In check_pfn_span(), a 'reason' string is being used to recreate the
caller function name, while printing the warning message. It is really
unnecessary as the warning message could just be printed inside the caller
depending on the return code. Currently there are just two callers for
check_pfn_span() i.e __add_pages() and __remove_pages(). Let's clean this
up.

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a
long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases.
1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with
each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance)
deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they
have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the
servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands
of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a
approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in
our practical environment.
2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be
affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be
identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating
huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages'
and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault
time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit
099730d674. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x
slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this
feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the
memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop.
3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the
workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want
the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be
allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server.
The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and
'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the
overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at
fault time.
