Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
  add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
  enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
  zero_page_range() dax operation.

  This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
  for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
  folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
  appeared in -next with no reported issues.

  Summary:

   - Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
     fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
     configurations.

   - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
     filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.

   - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
     know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
     onlined.

   - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
     persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
     in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
     them power-fail protected.

   - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
     facility.

   - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
     memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.

   - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
     including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
     test compilation fixups.

   - Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

<title>mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in Kconfig</title>

<id>bb8b93b5b65130138d3c80f3136af721863f561a</id>
<content type='text'>
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3
extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to
be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one
wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud
combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel
command line in additional parameters.

Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty
common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of
the default one.  In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable
the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel
config manually.

Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and
automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor
algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to
Kconfig.

The default values for these options match what the code was using
previously as its defaults.

<title>mm: introduce Reported pages</title>

<id>36e66c554b5c6a9d17a229faca7a61693527b0bd</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned.  To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.

To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function.  As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.

The process for reporting pages is fairly simple.  Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future.  That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.

When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages.  To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.

It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist.  Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.

The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone.  Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing.  If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.

Commit e496cf3d7821 ("thp: introduce CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE")
notes that it should be reverted when the PowerPC problem was fixed.  The
commit fixing the PowerPC problem (953c66c2b22a) did not revert the
commit; instead setting CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE to the same as
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.  Checking with Kirill and Aneesh, this was an
oversight, so remove the Kconfig symbol and undo the work of commit
e496cf3d7821.

Currently x86 numa_meminfo is marked __initdata in the
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n case. In support of a new facility to allow
drivers to map reserved memory to a 'target_node'

designation for those users. Both memory hotplug and
phys_to_target_node() users select CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO to tell the

Pull hmm updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "This is another round of bug fixing and cleanup. This time the focus
  is on the driver pattern to use mmu notifiers to monitor a VA range.
  This code is lifted out of many drivers and hmm_mirror directly into
  the mmu_notifier core and written using the best ideas from all the
  driver implementations.

  This removes many bugs from the drivers and has a very pleasing
  diffstat. More drivers can still be converted, but that is for another
  cycle.

   - A shared branch with RDMA reworking the RDMA ODP implementation

   - New mmu_interval_notifier API. This is focused on the use case of
     monitoring a VA and simplifies the process for drivers

   - A common seq-count locking scheme built into the
     mmu_interval_notifier API usable by drivers that call
     get_user_pages() or hmm_range_fault() with the VA range

   - Conversion of mlx5 ODP, hfi1, radeon, nouveau, AMD GPU, and Xen
     GntDev drivers to the new API. This deletes a lot of wonky driver
     code.

   - Two improvements for hmm_range_fault(), from testing done by Ralph"

<title>mm/mmu_notifier: add an interval tree notifier</title>

<content type='text'>
Of the 13 users of mmu_notifiers, 8 of them use only
invalidate_range_start/end() and immediately intersect the
mmu_notifier_range with some kind of internal list of VAs.  4 use an
interval tree (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1). 4 use a linked list
of some kind (scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm)

And the remaining 5 either don't use invalidate_range_start() or do some
special thing with it.

It turns out that building a correct scheme with an interval tree is
pretty complicated, particularly if the use case is synchronizing against
another thread doing get_user_pages().  Many of these implementations have
various subtle and difficult to fix races.

This approach puts the interval tree as common code at the top of the mmu
notifier call tree and implements a shareable locking scheme.

It includes:
 - An interval tree tracking VA ranges, with per-range callbacks
 - A read/write locking scheme for the interval tree that avoids
   sleeping in the notifier path (for OOM killer)
 - A sequence counter based collision-retry locking scheme to tell
   device page fault that a VA range is being concurrently invalidated.

This is based on various ideas:
- hmm accumulates invalidated VA ranges and releases them when all
  invalidates are done, via active_invalidate_ranges count.
  This approach avoids having to intersect the interval tree twice (as
  umem_odp does) at the potential cost of a longer device page fault.

- kvm/umem_odp use a sequence counter to drive the collision retry,
  via invalidate_seq

- a deferred work todo list on unlock scheme like RTNL, via deferred_list.
  This makes adding/removing interval tree members more deterministic

- seqlock, except this version makes the seqlock idea multi-holder on the
  write side by protecting it with active_invalidate_ranges and a spinlock

To minimize MM overhead when only the interval tree is being used, the
entire SRCU and hlist overheads are dropped using some simple
branches. Similarly the interval tree overhead is dropped when in hlist
mode.

The overhead from the mandatory spinlock is broadly the same as most of
existing users which already had a lock (or two) of some sort on the
invalidation path.
