Patch series "lib/find_bit: fast path for small bitmaps", v6. Bitmap operations are much simpler and faster in case of small bitmaps which fit into a single word. In linux/bitmap.c we have a machinery that allows compiler to replace actual function call with a few instructions if bitmaps passed into the function are small and their size is known at compile time. find_*_bit() API lacks this functionality; but users will benefit from it a lot. One important example is cpumask subsystem when NR_CPUS <= BITS_PER_LONG. This patch (of 12): GENMASK(h, l) may be passed with unsigned types. In such case, type-limits warning is generated for example in case of GENMASK(h, 0).

The bitmap.h header is used in a lot of code around the kernel. Besides that it includes kernel.h which sometimes makes a loop. The problem here is many unneeded loops that make header hell dependencies. For example, how may you move bitmap_zalloc() from C-file to the header? Currently it's impossible. And bitmap.h here is only the tip of an iceberg. kerne.h is a dump of everything that even has nothing in common at all. We may still have it, but in my new code I prefer to include only the headers that I want to use, without the bulk of unneeded kernel code. Break the loop by introducing align.h, including it in kernel.h and bitmap.h followed by replacing kernel.h with limits.h.

My UEK-derived config has 1030 files depending on pagemap.h before this change. Afterwards, just 326 files need to be rebuilt when I touch pagemap.h. I think blkdev.h is probably included too widely, but untangling that dependency is harder and this solves my problem. x86 allmodconfig builds, but there may be implicit include problems on other architectures.

The allocation wait timeout was initially added because of warnings due to CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y [1]. While the 1 sec timeout is sufficient to resolve the warnings (given the hung task timeout must be 1 sec or larger) it may cause unnecessary wake-ups if the system is idle: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CADYN=9J0DQhizAGB0-jz4HOBBh+05kMBXb4c0cXMS7Qi5NAJiw@mail.gmail.com Fix it by computing the timeout duration in terms of the current sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs value.

Patch series "kfence: optimize timer scheduling", v2. We have observed that mostly-idle systems with KFENCE enabled wake up otherwise idle CPUs, preventing such to enter a lower power state. Debugging revealed that KFENCE spends too much active time in toggle_allocation_gate(). While the first version of KFENCE was using all the right bits to be scheduling optimal, and thus power efficient, by simply using wait_event() + wake_up(), that code was unfortunately removed. As KFENCE was exposed to various different configs and tests, the scheduling optimal code slowly disappeared. First because of hung task warnings, and finally because of deadlocks when an allocation is made by timer code with debug objects enabled. Clearly, the "fixes" were not too friendly for devices that want to be power efficient. Therefore, let's try a little harder to fix the hung task and deadlock problems that we have with wait_event() + wake_up(), while remaining as scheduling friendly and power efficient as possible. Crucially, we need to defer the wake_up() to an irq_work, avoiding any potential for deadlock. The result with this series is that on the devices where we observed a power regression, power usage returns back to baseline levels. This patch (of 3): On mostly-idle systems, we have observed that toggle_allocation_gate() is a cause of frequent wake-ups, preventing an otherwise idle CPU to go into a lower power state. A late change in KFENCE's development, due to a potential deadlock [1], required changing the scheduling-friendly wait_event_timeout() and wake_up() to an open-coded wait-loop using schedule_timeout(). [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/000000000000c0645805b7f982e4@google.com To avoid unnecessary wake-ups, switch to using wait_event_timeout(). Unfortunately, we still cannot use a version with direct wake_up() in __kfence_alloc() due to the same potential for deadlock as in [1]. Instead, add a level of indirection via an irq_work that is scheduled if we determine that the kfence_timer requires a wake_up().

This patch (of 3): memzero_page() can replace the kmap/memset/kunmap pattern in other places in the code. While zero_user() has the same interface it is not the same call and its use should be limited and some of those calls may be better converted from zero_user() to memzero_page().[1] But that is not addressed in this series.

To control this, let memory_hotplug have its own memory space, as suggested by David, so we can add memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory parameter.

Let the caller check whether it can pass MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY by checking mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory(). MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY can only be set in case ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE is enabled, the architecture supports altmap, and the range to be added spans a single memory block.

Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used for those allocations. This has some disadvantages: a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64) This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined. b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages which has performance drawbacks. c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets populated with base pages. This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled. Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory for that purpose. There are some non-obviously things to consider though. Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events (add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not online although it is used. The most obvious side effect is that pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns. The current design expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a garbage until it is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap page tables). The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path. The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of {on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the purpose rather than special case them in a single function. As per above, the functions that are introduced are: - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory: Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span. - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory: Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range. The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory() before doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Adjusting of present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages() succedeed. On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from present_pages() before calling offline_pages(). This is necessary because offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the node or the zone become empty. If offline_pages() fails, we account back vmemmap pages. If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Hot-remove: We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity. To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed. If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages), we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

Let's have a single place (inspired by adjust_managed_page_count()) where we adjust present pages. In contrast to adjust_managed_page_count(), only memory onlining or offlining is allowed to modify the number of present pages.

We want {online,offline}_pages to operate on whole memblocks, but memmap_on_memory will poke pageblock_nr_pages aligned holes in the beginning, which is a special case we want to allow. Relax the check to account for that case. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210421102701.25051-3-osalvador@suse.deSigned-off-by: -

Patch series "Allocate memmap from hotadded memory (per device)", v10. The primary goal of this patchset is to reduce memory overhead of the hot-added memory (at least for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP memory model). The current way we use to populate memmap (struct page array) has two main drawbacks: a) it consumes an additional memory until the hotadded memory itself is onlined and b) memmap might end up on a different numa node which is especially true for movable_node configuration. c) due to fragmentation we might end up populating memmap with base pages One way to mitigate all these issues is to simply allocate memmap array (which is the largest memory footprint of the physical memory hotplug) from the hot-added memory itself. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP memory model allows us to map any pfn range so the memory doesn't need to be online to be usable for the array. See patch 4 for more details. This feature is only usable when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set. [Overall design]: Implementation wise we reuse vmem_altmap infrastructure to override the default allocator used by vmemap_populate. memory_block structure gains a new field called nr_vmemmap_pages, which accounts for the number of vmemmap pages used by that memory_block. E.g: On x86_64, that is 512 vmemmap pages on small memory bloks and 4096 on large memory blocks (1GB) We also introduce new two functions: memory_block_{online,offline}. These functions take care of initializing/unitializing vmemmap pages prior to calling {online,offline}_pages, so the latter functions can remain totally untouched. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 8): This is a preparatory patch that introduces two new functions: memory_block_online() and memory_block_offline(). For now, these functions will only call online_pages() and offline_pages() respectively, but they will be later in charge of preparing the vmemmap pages, carrying out the initialization and proper accounting of such pages. Since memory_block struct contains all the information, pass this struct down the chain till the end functions.
