When allocating a hugetlb folio, between the folio is taken from buddy and
prep_compound_page() is called, start_isolate_page_range() and
do_migrate_range() is called. When do_migrate_range() scans the head page
of the hugetlb folio, the compound_head field isn't set, so scans the tail
page next. And at this time, the compound_head field of tail page is set,
folio_test_large() is called by tail page, thus triggers VM_BUG_ON().
To fix it, get folio refcount before calling folio_test_large().

Patch series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio".
Fix a bug during memory reclaim if folio is hwpoisoned.
This patch (of 2):
Introduce helper folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() to check if the entire
folio is hwpoisoned or it contains hwpoisoned pages.

Commit b15c87263a69 ("hwpoison, memory_hotplug: allow hwpoisoned pages to
be offlined) add page poison checks in do_migrate_range in order to make
offline hwpoisoned page possible by introducing isolate_lru_page and
try_to_unmap for hwpoisoned page. However folio lock must be held before
calling try_to_unmap. Add it to fix this problem.
Warning will be produced if folio is not locked during unmap:

If a folio has an increased reference count, folio_try_get() will acquire
it, perform necessary operations, and then release it. In the case of a
poisoned folio without an elevated reference count (which is unlikely for
memory-failure), folio_try_get() will simply bypass it.
Therefore, relocate the folio_try_get() function, responsible for checking
and acquiring this reference count at first.

Patch series "mm: memory_failure: unmap poisoned folio during migrate
properly", v3.
Fix two bugs during folio migration if the folio is poisoned.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 6da6b1d4a7df ("mm/hwpoison: convert TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON to
TTU_HWPOISON") introduce TTU_HWPOISON to replace TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON in
order to stop send SIGBUS signal when accessing an error page after a
memory error on a clean folio. However during page migration, anon folio
must be set with TTU_HWPOISON during unmap_*(). For pagecache we need
some policy just like the one in hwpoison_user_mappings to set this flag.
So move this policy from hwpoison_user_mappings to unmap_poisoned_folio to
handle this warning properly.
Warning will be produced during unamp poison folio with the following log:

Memory hotplug presently auto-onlines memory into a zone the kernel deems
appropriate if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y.
The memhp_default_state boot param enables runtime config, but it's not
possible to do this at build-time.
Remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE, and replace it with
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_* choices that sync with the boot param.
Selections:
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE
=> mhp_default_online_type = "offline"
Memory will not be onlined automatically.
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO
=> mhp_default_online_type = "online"
Memory will be onlined automatically in a zone deemed.
appropriate by the kernel.
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_KERNEL
=> mhp_default_online_type = "online_kernel"
Memory will be onlined automatically.
The zone may allow kernel data (e.g. ZONE_NORMAL).
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE
=> mhp_default_online_type = "online_movable"
Memory will be onlined automatically.
The zone will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
Default to CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE to match the existing
default CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n behavior.
Existing users of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y should use
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO.

offlining
We'll migrate pages allocated by other context; respecting the cpuset of
the memory offlining context when allocating a migration target does not
make sense.
Drop the __GFP_HARDWALL by using GFP_KERNEL.
Note that in an ideal world, migration code could figure out the cpuset
of the original context and take that into consideration.

In the near future, we want to have a single way to handover PageOffline
pages to the buddy, whereby they could have:
(a) Never been exposed to the buddy before: kept PageOffline when onlining
the memory block.
(b) Been allocated from the buddy, for example using
alloc_contig_range() to then be set PageOffline,
Let's start by making generic_online_page()->__free_pages_core() less
special compared to ordinary page freeing (e.g., free_contig_range()),
and perform the debug_pagealloc_map_pages() call unconditionally, even
when the online callback might decide to keep the pages offline.
All pages are already initialized with PageOffline, so nobody touches them
either way.

For clarity. It's increasingly hard to reason about the code, when KASLR
is moving around the boundaries. In this case where KASLR is randomizing
the location of the kernel image within physical memory, the maximum
number of address bits for physical memory has not changed.
What has changed is the ending address of memory that is allowed to be
directly mapped by the kernel.
Let's name the variable, and the associated macro accordingly.
Also, enhance the comment above the direct_map_physmem_end definition,
to further clarify how this all works.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.
- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.
- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.

kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".

Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
- "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
- "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
yet.

Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
tree library code.
- "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move

Commit b15c87263a69 ("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 e591ef7d96d6
("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.

when offlining
We currently have a hack for virtio-mem in place to handle memory
offlining with PageOffline pages for which we already adjusted the managed
page count.
Let's enlighten memory offlining code so we can get rid of that hack, and
document the situation.

instead of PageReserved()
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.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of
PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE".
This can be a considered a long-overdue follow-up to some parts of [1].
The patches are based on [2], but they are not strictly required -- just
makes it clearer why we can use adjust_managed_page_count() for memory
hotplug without going into details about highmem.
We stop initializing pages with PageReserved() in memory hotplug code --
except when dealing with ZONE_DEVICE for now. Instead, we use
PageOffline(): all pages are initialized to PageOffline() when onlining a
memory section, and only the ones actually getting exposed to the
system/page allocator will get PageOffline cleared.
This way, we enlighten memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages and
can cleanup some hacks we have in virtio-mem code.
What about ZONE_DEVICE? PageOffline() is wrong, but we might just stop
using PageReserved() for them later by simply checking for
is_zone_device_page() at suitable places. That will be a separate patch
set / proposal.
This primarily affects virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN balloon. I only
briefly tested with virtio-mem, which benefits most from these cleanups.

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 f9126ab9241f ("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 "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.
As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

In preparation for adding sysfs ABI to toggle memmap_on_memory semantics
for drivers adding memory, export the mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory()
helper. This allows drivers to check if memmap_on_memory support is
available before trying to request it, and display an appropriate
message if it isn't available. As part of this, remove the size argument
to this - with recent updates to allow memmap_on_memory for larger
ranges, and the internal splitting of altmaps into respective memory
blocks, the size argument is meaningless.

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 a08a2ae34613
("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 writ |
