Oscar Salvador 7b0e0c0e35 mm/page_alloc.c: clean up check_for_memory()
check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing.  First of all, we have this:

if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
	return;

Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to
N_NORMAL_MEMORY.

I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other
way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will
never evaluate to true.  It makes sense to get rid of it.

Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as
well.

We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in
case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <=
ZONE_NORMAL.  (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set
N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally)

Although this works, it is a bit subtle.

I think that this could be easier to follow:

First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL,
without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

Michal Hocko 15f570bf3d mm,page_alloc: PF_WQ_WORKER threads must sleep at should_reclaim_retry()
Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep
for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe592
("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make
any progress") and lock up the system if OOM.

The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run
even when they have a rescuer available.  Those workers might be essential
for reclaim to make a forward progress, however.  If we are too unlucky
all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without
much hope to move on.  Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on
drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs).  There might be others.

Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point,
let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in
order to guarantee that other pending work items are started.  This
will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down
when the sleep is missed.  Having a single sleeping point is more
robust.

Mel Gorman efaffc5e40 mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration
Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.

Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.

Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.

However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 464c7ffbcb mm/hugetlb: filter out hugetlb pages if HUGEPAGE migration is not supported.
When scanning for movable pages, filter out Hugetlb pages if hugepage
migration is not supported.  Without this we hit infinte loop in
__offline_pages() where we do

	pfn = scan_movable_pages(start_pfn, end_pfn);
	if (pfn) { /* We have movable pages */
		ret = do_migrate_range(pfn, end_pfn);
		goto repeat;
	}

Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in
has_unmovable_pages which is the primary backoff mechanism for page
offlining and for consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages
because it doesn't make any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable
huge page.

This issue was revealed by, but not caused by 72b39cfc4d ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early").

Naoya Horiguchi d4ae9916ea mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation
A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline.  This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."

Two main changes of this patch are:

- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
  in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
  freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
  after put_page() returns,

- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
  freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
  that is decided to be allocated soon.

Oscar Salvador 03e85f9d5f mm/page_alloc: Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug
Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug
path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core().  But there is
some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such
path.

free_area_init_core() performs the following actions:

1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more.
2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on
   when creating hash tables.
3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and
   memmap pages.
4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data
5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists
6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone

When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs
actions #1 and #4.

Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the
node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to
this node should have 0 pages.  For the same reason, action #3 results
always in manages_pages being 0.

Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages:
 online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone()
 online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone()

This patch does two things:

First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it
allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only
perform:

1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more
4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data

These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals().

The second thing this patch does, is to introduce
free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of
free_area_init_core():

Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path.  In
there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages().
calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has.

Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging
to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate
this now.

Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to:

reset_node_managed_pages()
reset_node_present_pages()

The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when
onlining the pages:

online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range()

Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace
__paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

Oscar Salvador ace1db3976 mm/page_alloc.c: move ifdefery out of free_area_init_core
Patch series "Refactor free_area_init_core and add
free_area_init_core_hotplug", v6.

This patchset does three things:

 1) Clean up/refactor free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node
    by moving the ifdefery out of the functions.
 2) Move the pgdat/zone initialization in free_area_init_core to its
    own function.
 3) Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug, a small subset of
    free_area_init_core, which is only called from memhotlug code path. In this
    way, we have:

    free_area_init_core: called during early initialization
    free_area_init_core_hotplug: called whenever a new node is allocated/re-used (memhotplug path)

This patch (of 5):

Moving the #ifdefs out of the function makes it easier to follow.

Aaron Lu d8a759b570 mm, page_alloc: double zone's batchsize
To improve page allocator's performance for order-0 pages, each CPU has
a Per-CPU-Pageset(PCP) per zone.  Whenever an order-0 page is needed,
PCP will be checked first before asking pages from Buddy.  When PCP is
used up, a batch of pages will be fetched from Buddy to improve
performance and the size of batch can affect performance.

zone's batch size gets doubled last time by commit ba56e91c9401("mm:
page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages") over ten years ago.  Since
then, CPU has envolved a lot and CPU's cache sizes also increased.

Dave Hansen is concerned the current batch size doesn't fit well with
modern hardware and suggested me to do two things: first, use a page
allocator intensive benchmark, e.g.  will-it-scale/page_fault1 to find
out how performance changes with different batch sizes on various
machines and then choose a new default batch size; second, see how this
new batch size work with other workloads.

In the first test, we saw performance gains on high-core-count systems
and little to no effect on older systems with more modest core counts.
In this phase's test data, two candidates: 63 and 127 are chosen.

In the second step, ebizzy, oltp, kbuild, pigz, netperf, vm-scalability
and more will-it-scale sub-tests are tested to see how these two
candidates work with these workloads and decides a new default according
to their results.

Most test results are flat.  will-it-scale/page_fault2 process mode has
10%-18% performance increase on 4-sockets Skylake and Broadwell.
vm-scalability/lru-file-mmap-read has 17%-47% performance increase for
4-sockets servers while for 2-sockets servers, it caused 3%-8% performance
drop.  Further analysis showed that, with a larger pcp->batch and thus
larger pcp->high(the relationship of pcp->high=6 * pcp->batch is
maintained in this patch), zone lock contention shifted to LRU add side
lock contention and that caused performance drop.  This performance drop
might be mitigated by others' work on optimizing LRU lock.

Another downside of increasing pcp->batch is, when PCP is used up and need
to fetch a batch of pages from Buddy, since batch is increased, that time
can be longer than before.  My understanding is, this doesn't affect
slowpath where direct reclaim and compaction dominates.  For fastpath,
throughput is a win(according to will-it-scale/page_fault1) but worst
latency can be larger now.

Overall, I think double the batch size from 31 to 63 is relatively safe
and provide good performance boost for high-core-count systems.

The two phase's test results are listed below(all tests are done with THP
disabled).

Phase one(will-it-scale/page_fault1) test results:

Skylake-EX: increased batch size has a good effect on zone->lock
contention, though LRU contention will rise at the same time and
limited the final performance increase.

Skylake-EP: although increased batch reduced zone->lock contention, but
the effect is not as good as EX: zone->lock contention is still as high as
20% with a very high batch value instead of 1% on Skylake-EX or 5% on
Broadwell-EX.  Also, total_contention actually decreased with a higher
batch but that doesn't translate to performance increase.

Vlastimil Babka d6a24df006 mm, page_alloc: actually ignore mempolicies for high priority allocations
__alloc_pages_slowpath() has for a long time contained code to ignore
node restrictions from memory policies for high priority allocations.
The current code that resets the zonelist iterator however does
effectively nothing after commit 7810e6781e ("mm, page_alloc: do not
break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset") removed a buggy zonelist reset.
Even before that commit, mempolicy restrictions were still not ignored,
as they are passed in ac->nodemask which is untouched by the code.

We can either remove the code, or make it work as intended.  Since
ac->nodemask can be set from task's mempolicy via alloc_pages_current()
and thus also alloc_pages(), it may indeed affect kernel allocations,
and it makes sense to ignore it to allow progress for high priority
allocations.

Thus, this patch resets ac->nodemask to NULL in such cases.  This
assumes all callers can handle it (i.e.  there are no guarantees as in
the case of __GFP_THISNODE) which seems to be the case.  The same
assumption is already present in check_retry_cpuset() for some time.

The expected effect is that high priority kernel allocations in the
context of userspace tasks (e.g.  OOM victims) restricted by mempolicies
will have higher chance to succeed if they are restricted to nodes with
depleted memory, while there are other nodes with free memory left.

It's not a new intention, but for the first time the code will match the
intention, AFAICS.  It was intended by commit 183f6371aa ("mm: ignore
mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") in v3.6 but I think it never
really worked, as mempolicy restriction was already encoded in nodemask,
not zonelist, at that time.

So originally that was for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK only.  Then it was
adjusted by e46e7b77c9 ("mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred
zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies") and cd04ae1e2d
("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access") to the
current state.  So even GFP_ATOMIC would now ignore mempolicies after
the initial attempts fail - if the code worked as people thought it
does.

Pavel Tatashin 720e14ebec mm: skip invalid pages block at a time in zero_resv_unresv()
The role of zero_resv_unavail() is to make sure that every struct page
that is allocated but is not backed by memory that is accessible by
kernel is zeroed and not in some uninitialized state.

Since struct pages are allocated in blocks (2M pages in x86 case), we
can skip pageblock_nr_pages at a time, when the first one is found to be
invalid.

This optimization may help since now on x86 every hole in e820 maps is
marked as reserved in memblock, and thus will go through this function.

This function is called before sched_clock() is initialized, so I used
my x86 early boot clock patches to measure the performance improvement.

With 1T hole on i7-8700 currently we would take 0.606918s of boot time,
but with this optimization 0.001103s.

Pingfan Liu 55f2503c3b PM / reboot: Eliminate race between reboot and suspend
At present, "systemctl suspend" and "shutdown" can run in parrallel. A
system can suspend after devices_shutdown(), and resume. Then the shutdown
task goes on to power off. This causes many devices are not really shut
off. Hence replacing reboot_mutex with system_transition_mutex (renamed
from pm_mutex) to achieve the exclusion. The renaming of pm_mutex as
system_transition_mutex can be better to reflect the purpose of the mutex.

Dave Hansen 0d83432811 mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area()
free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses
should be freed.  However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way.  If it
gets a kernel direct map address, it always works.  However, if it gets an
address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail.

It fails if all of the following happen:
 * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias
 * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset())
 * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image

The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course.
free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image
alias addresses.  We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image
alias areas it gets used on are read-write.  I'm fairly sure this has been
just a happy accident.

It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just
convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and
do this unconditionally.  There is little chance of a regression here
because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset,
so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

Pavel Tatashin d1b47a7c9e mm: don't do zero_resv_unavail if memmap is not allocated
Moving zero_resv_unavail before memmap_init_zone(), caused a regression on
x86-32.

The cause is that we access struct pages before they are allocated when
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is used.

free_area_init_nodes()
  zero_resv_unavail()
    mm_zero_struct_page(pfn_to_page(pfn)); <- struct page is not alloced
  free_area_init_node()
    if CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP
      alloc_node_mem_map()
        memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() <- struct page alloced here

On the other hand memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() zeroes all the memory
that it returns, so we do not need to do zero_resv_unavail() here.

Pavel Tatashin e181ae0c5d mm: zero unavailable pages before memmap init
We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical
memory, or kernel does not have access to.

Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in
e820.  Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here:

  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html

Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting
commit 124049decb ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved") fixes the issue.

The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they
were setup.

The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of
struct pages.

A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing
cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in
zero_resv_unavail().

Vlastimil Babka 7810e6781e mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset
In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for
allocations that can ignore memory policies.  The zonelist is obtained
from current CPU's node.  This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE
allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g.  because the
allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU.

This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because
there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended.  If a slab page
is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt
the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's
list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race.

Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit
511e3a0588 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on
arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE
works as promised.

We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely.  There
is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets
don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place.  This was different
when commit 183f6371aa ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their
own restricted zonelists.

We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's
anything currently broken.

SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't
yet have 511e3a0588 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page
allocated on arbitrary node") it is.  That's at least 4.4 LTS.  Older
ones I'll have to check.

So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be
reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes.  BTW I think
that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we
don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we
probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a
separate patch.

Matthew Wilcox 4da1984edb mm: combine LRU and main union in struct page
This gives us five words of space in a single union in struct page.  The
compound_mapcount moves position (from offset 24 to offset 20) on 64-bit

Matthew Wilcox 6e292b9be7 mm: split page_type out from _mapcount
We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the
_mapcount and make page_type its own field.  That implies renaming some of
the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring
back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names.

As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask.  Because it starts out
life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page
flag means clearing the appropriate bit.  This gives us space for probably
twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about
_mapcount underflow).

Omar Sandoval 93781325da lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotation
While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep.  It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag.  In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different.  After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

Note how only Node 0 has a hutplugable memory region which would rule it
out from the early memblock allocations (most likely memmap).  Node1
will surely contain memmaps on the same node and those would prevent
offlining to succeed.  So this is arguably a configuration issue.
Although one could argue that we should be more clever and rule early
allocations from the zone movable.  This would be correct but probably
not worth the effort considering what a hack movablecore is.

Anyway, We could do better for those cases though.  We rely on
start_isolate_page_range resp.  has_unmovable_pages to do their job.
The first one isolates the whole range to be offlined so that we do not
allocate from it anymore and the later makes sure we are not stumbling
over non-migrateable pages.

has_unmovable_pages is overly optimistic, however.  It doesn't check all
the pages if we are withing zone_movable because we rely that those
pages will be always migrateable.  As it turns out we are still not
perfect there.  While bootmem pages in zonemovable sound like a clear
bug which should be fixed let's remove the optimization for now and warn
if we encounter unmovable pages in zone_movable in the meantime.  That
should help for now at least.

Btw.  this wasn't a real problem until commit 72b39cfc4d ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early") because we used to
have a small number of retries and then failed.  This turned out to be
too fragile though.

The reason for this error is that the span of MOVABLE_ZONE is extended

wrongly freed here.  I submitted the fix and it seems to work, but,
another problem happened.

It's so late time to fix the later problem so I decide to reverting the

Pavel Tatashin 6f84f8d158 xen, mm: allow deferred page initialization for xen pv domains
Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100d8 ("mm: stop zeroing memory
during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct
page initialization is enabled.

This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from
struct pages when they are initialized later in boot.

Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv
domains.  It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it
reduces boot time.  This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and
fixes the problem the following way:

The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all
allocated memory are initialized, i.e.  until after free_all_bootmem().

A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know
that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the
allocated memory are now initialized.  If deferred page initialization
is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later
in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called.

xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

1. What does this patch do?

This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem.  Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to.  However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone.  In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same.  So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.

2. Motivation

There are some problems with current approach.  See following.  Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach.  Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.

o CMA memory utilization

First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.

 - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
 - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage

Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted.  At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so

 - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
 - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0

If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started.  After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.

FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.

Useless reclaim:

There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path.  Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.

Atomic allocation failure:

This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area.  Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come.  Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.

- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage

If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.

- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0

It was reported by Aneesh [3].

Useless compaction:

Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area.  In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there.  As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.

3. Current approach and new approach

Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to.  However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation.  So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially.  However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.

New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone.  MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone.  So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.

There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area.  The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag.  Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them.  IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag.  For example, file
cache page and anonymous page.  However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception.  Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag.  There is
pros and cons on this exception.  In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily.  So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.

Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem.  Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone.  That's all.

Joonsoo Kim d3cda2337b mm/page_alloc: don't reserve ZONE_HIGHMEM for ZONE_MOVABLE request
Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that
important to reserve.  When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would
theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page
allocation.  So, fix it by setting 0 to
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM].

And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size
makes code complex.  For example, if there is highmem system, following
reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily
misleading people.

 #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
 32
 #endif

This patch also fixes this situation by defining
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to
right place.

Mike Kravetz 2c7452a075 mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated
start_isolate_page_range() is used to set the migrate type of a set of
pageblocks to MIGRATE_ISOLATE while attempting to start a migration
operation.  It assumes that only one thread is calling it for the
specified range.  This routine is used by CMA, memory hotplug and
gigantic huge pages.  Each of these users synchronize access to the
range within their subsystem.  However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic
huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range.  If
this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing.
This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation.

What is ideally needed is a way to synchronize access to a set of
pageblocks that are undergoing isolation and migration.  The only thing
we know about these pageblocks is that they are all in the same zone.  A
per-node mutex is too coarse as we want to allow multiple operations on
different ranges within the same zone concurrently.  Instead, we will
use the migration type of the pageblocks themselves as a form of
synchronization.

start_isolate_page_range sets the migration type on a set of page-
blocks going in order from the one associated with the smallest pfn to
the largest pfn.  The zone lock is acquired to check and set the
migration type.  When going through the list of pageblocks check if
MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set.  If so, this indicates another thread is
working on this pageblock.  We know exactly which pageblocks we set, so
clean up by undo those and return -EBUSY.

This allows start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization
mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of
these interfaces.  Update comments in alloc_contig_range to reflect this
new functionality.

Each CPU holds the associated zone lock to modify or examine the
migration type of a pageblock.  And, it will only examine/update a
single pageblock per lock acquire/release cycle.

David Rientjes 5ecd9d403a mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too
many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed.

This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available.  For high-
order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for
background compaction.  If the zone is not below its watermarks or
reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.

When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim.  This allows high-order
allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even
when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

Aaron Lu 97334162e4 mm/free_pcppages_bulk: prefetch buddy while not holding lock
When a page is freed back to the global pool, its buddy will be checked
to see if it's possible to do a merge.  This requires accessing buddy's
page structure and that access could take a long time if it's cache
cold.

This patch adds a prefetch to the to-be-freed page's buddy outside of
zone->lock in hope of accessing buddy's page structure later under
zone->lock will be faster.  Since we *always* do buddy merging and check
an order-0 page's buddy to try to merge it when it goes into the main
allocator, the cacheline will always come in, i.e.  the prefetched data
will never be unused.

Normally, the number of prefetch will be pcp->batch(default=31 and has
an upper limit of (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)=96 on x86_64) but in the case of
pcp's pages get all drained, it will be pcp->count which has an upper
limit of pcp->high.  pcp->high, although has a default value of 186
(pcp->batch=31 * 6), can be changed by user through
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction and there is no software upper
limit so could be large, like several thousand.  For this reason, only
the first pcp->batch number of page's buddy structure is prefetched to
avoid excessive prefetching.

In the meantime, there are two concerns:

 1. the prefetch could potentially evict existing cachelines, especially
    for L1D cache since it is not huge

 2. there is some additional instruction overhead, namely calculating
    buddy pfn twice

For 1, it's hard to say, this microbenchmark though shows good result
but the actual benefit of this patch will be workload/CPU dependant;

For 2, since the calculation is a XOR on two local variables, it's
expected in many cases that cycles spent will be offset by reduced
memory latency later.  This is especially true for NUMA machines where
multiple CPUs are contending on zone->lock and the most time consuming
part under zone->lock is the wait of 'struct page' cacheline of the
to-be-freed pages and their buddies.

Aaron Lu 0a5f4e5b45 mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free
When freeing a batch of pages from Per-CPU-Pages(PCP) back to buddy, the
zone->lock is held and then pages are chosen from PCP's migratetype

irq is also disabled.

David Rientjes a5c6d65093 mm, page_alloc: extend kernelcore and movablecore for percent
Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of
ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively.  This requires
the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line,
however.

This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore=
as a percentage of total system memory.  This is convenient for systems
software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example,
as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value.

To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be
a '%'.

mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?"

rientjes:
:
: Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory
: situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of
: slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example.  When the
: amount of kernel memory is well bounded for certain systems, it is
: better to aggressively reclaim from existing MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
: pageblocks rather than eagerly fallback to others.
:
: We have additional patches that help with this fragmentation if you're
: interested, specifically kcompactd compaction of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
: pageblocks triggered by fallback of non-__GFP_MOVABLE allocations and
: draining of pcp lists back to the zone free area to prevent stranding.

Pavel Tatashin d0dc12e86b mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory hotplug
During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times:

1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section()
2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and
   SetPageReserved(page);
3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn()

This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3.  All
struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during
boot.

The benefits:

 - We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the
   cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead.

 - Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added
   in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above
   email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot.

 - Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization
   path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one
   function.

 - Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus
   enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the
   initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug
   performance even further on larger machines.

Pavel Tatashin c9e97a1997 mm: initialize pages on demand during boot
Deferred page initialization allows the boot cpu to initialize a small
subset of the system's pages early in boot, with other cpus doing the
rest later on.

It is, however, problematic to know how many pages the kernel needs
during boot.  Different modules and kernel parameters may change the
requirement, so the boot cpu either initializes too many pages or runs
out of memory.

To fix that, initialize early pages on demand.  This ensures the kernel
does the minimum amount of work to initialize pages during boot and
leaves the rest to be divided in the multithreaded initialization path
(deferred_init_memmap).

The on-demand code is permanently disabled using static branching once
deferred pages are initialized.  After the static branch is changed to
false, the overhead is up-to two branch-always instructions if the zone
watermark check fails or if rmqueue fails.

Sergey Senozhatsky noticed that while deferred pages currently make
sense only on NUMA machines (we start one thread per latency node),
CONFIG_NUMA is not a requirement for CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT,
so that is also must be addressed in the patch.

Pavel Tatashin 3a2d7fa8a3 mm: disable interrupts while initializing deferred pages
Vlastimil Babka reported about a window issue during which when deferred
pages are initialized, and the current version of on-demand
initialization is finished, allocations may fail.  While this is highly
unlikely scenario, since this kind of allocation request must be large,
and must come from interrupt handler, we still want to cover it.

We solve this by initializing deferred pages with interrupts disabled,
and holding node_size_lock spin lock while pages in the node are being
initialized.  The on-demand deferred page initialization that comes
later will use the same lock, and thus synchronize with
deferred_init_memmap().

It is unlikely for threads that initialize deferred pages to be
interrupted.  They run soon after smp_init(), but before modules are
initialized, and long before user space programs.  This is why there is
no adverse effect of having these threads running with interrupts
disabled.

Anshuman Khandual 310253514b mm/migrate: rename migration reason MR_CMA to MR_CONTIG_RANGE
alloc_contig_range() initiates compaction and eventual migration for the
purpose of either CMA or HugeTLB allocations.  At present, the reason
code remains the same MR_CMA for either of these cases.  Let's make it
MR_CONTIG_RANGE which will appropriately reflect the reason code in both
these cases.

Linus Torvalds f5a8eb632b arch: remove obsolete architecture ports
This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
 metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
 
 I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
 that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
 mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
 ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
 no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
 
 In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
 different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
 in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
 ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
 CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
 that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
 custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
 CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
 kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
 
 The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
 https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
 marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
 sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
 and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
 but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
 
 After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
 gcc support:
 
 - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
   maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
   in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
 
 - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
   support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
   They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
   complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
   their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.
