During the implementation of SRAT support, we met a problem. In setup_arch(), we have the following call series: 1) memblock is ready; 2) some functions use memblock to allocate memory; 3) parse ACPI tables, such as SRAT. Before 3), we don't know which memory is hotpluggable, and as a result, we cannot prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory. So, in 2), there could be some hotpluggable memory allocated by memblock. Now, we are trying to parse SRAT earlier, before memblock is ready. But I think we need more investigation on this topic. So in this v5, I dropped all the SRAT support, and v5 is just the same as v3, and it is based on 3.8-rc3. As we planned, we will support getting info from SRAT without users' participation at last. And we will post another patch-set to do so. And also, I think for now, we can add this boot option as the first step of supporting movable node. Since Linux cannot migrate the direct mapped pages, the only way for now is to limit the whole node containing only movable memory. Using SRAT is one way. But even if we can use SRAT, users still need an interface to enable/disable this functionality if they don't want to loose their NUMA performance. So I think, a user interface is always needed. For now, users can disable this functionality by not specifying the boot option. Later, we will post SRAT support, and add another option value "movablecore_map=acpi" to using SRAT. This patch: If system can create movable node which all memory of the node is allocated as ZONE_MOVABLE, setup_node_data() cannot allocate memory for the node's pg_data_t. So, use memblock_alloc_try_nid() instead of memblock_alloc_nid() to retry when the first allocation fails. Signed-off-by:

If a cpu is offline, its nid will be set to -1, and cpu_to_node(cpu) will return -1. As a result, cpumask_of_node(nid) will return NULL. In this case, find_next_bit() in for_each_cpu will get a NULL pointer and cause panic. Here is a call trace: Call Trace: <IRQ> select_fallback_rq+0x71/0x190 try_to_wake_up+0x2cb/0x2f0 wake_up_process+0x15/0x20 hrtimer_wakeup+0x22/0x30 __run_hrtimer+0x83/0x320 hrtimer_interrupt+0x106/0x280 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x69/0x99 apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 There is a hrtimer process sleeping, whose cpu has already been offlined. When it is waken up, it tries to find another cpu to run, and get a -1 nid. As a result, cpumask_of_node(-1) returns NULL, and causes ernel panic. This patch fixes this problem by judging if the nid is -1. If nid is not -1, a cpu on the same node will be picked. Else, a online cpu on another node will be picked.

When the node is offlined, there is no memory/cpu on the node. If a sleep task runs on a cpu of this node, it will be migrated to the cpu on the other node. So we can clear cpu-to-node mapping.

try_offline_node() will be needed in the tristate drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c. The node will be offlined when all memory/cpu on the node have been hotremoved. So we need the function try_offline_node() in cpu-hotplug path. If the memory-hotplug is disabled, and cpu-hotplug is enabled 1. no memory no the node we don't online the node, and cpu's node is the nearest node. 2. the node contains some memory the node has been onlined, and cpu's node is still needed to migrate the sleep task on the cpu to the same node. So we do nothing in try_offline_node() in this case. [rientjes@google.com: export the function try_offline_node() fix] Signed-off-by:

When a cpu is hotpluged, we call acpi_map_cpu2node() in _acpi_map_lsapic() to store the cpu's node and apicid's node. But we don't clear the cpu's node in acpi_unmap_lsapic() when this cpu is hotremoved.

is_valid_nodemask() was introduced by commit 19770b32 ("mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask"). but it does not match its comments, because it does not check the zone which > policy_zone. Also in commit b377fd39 ("Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE"), this commits told us, if highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE, we should also apply memory policies to it. so ZONE_MOVABLE should be valid zone for policies. is_valid_nodemask() need to be changed to match it. Fix: check all zones, even its zoneid > policy_zone. Use nodes_intersects() instead open code to check it. Reported-by:

usemap could also be allocated as compound pages. Should also consider compound pages when freeing memmap. If we don't fix it, there could be problems when we free vmemmap pagetables which are stored in compound pages. The old pagetables will not be freed properly, and when we add the memory again, no new pagetable will be created. And the old pagetable entry is used, than the kernel will panic.

Since there is no way to guarentee the address of pgdat/zone is not on stack of any kernel threads or used by other kernel objects without reference counting or other symchronizing method, we cannot reset node_data and free pgdat when offlining a node. Just reset pgdat to 0 and reuse the memory when the node is online again. The problem is suggested by Kamezawa Hiroyuki. The idea is from Wen Congyang. NOTE: If we don't reset pgdat to 0, the WARN_ON in free_area_init_node() will be triggered.

Wen Congyang authored
When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be removed. This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing. All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other memory. So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page can be freed or not. 1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are filled with 0FD. 2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared. In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed. For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed their pagetables. And do not free the pages again because they were freed when offlining. For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables. For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is no way to know if the larger page has been split. As a result, there is no way to decide when to split. We deal the larger pages in the following way: 1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were offlined. And since menmory offline is done section by section, all the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE. So only need to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages. 2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD. And when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem, memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by get_page_bootmem(). So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and registers the pages by get_page_bootmem(). NOTE: register_page_bootmem_memmap() is not implemented for ia64, ppc, s390, and sparc. So introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform doesn't support it. It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on x86_64). Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately, and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

When (hot)adding memory into system, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type} sysfs files are created. But there is no code to remove these files. This patch implements the function to remove them. We cannot free firmware_map_entry which is allocated by bootmem because there is no way to do so when the system is up. But we can at least remember the address of that memory and reuse the storage when the memory is added next time. This patch also introduces a new list map_entries_bootmem to link the map entries allocated by bootmem when they are removed, and a lock to protect it. And these entries will be reused when the memory is hot-added again. The idea is suggestted by Andrew Morton. NOTE: It is unsafe to return an entry pointer and release the map_entries_lock. So we should not hold the map_entries_lock separately in firmware_map_find_entry() and firmware_map_remove_entry(). Hold the map_entries_lock across find and remove /sys/firmware/memmap/X operation. And also, users of these two functions need to be careful to hold the lock when using these two functions.

We remove the memory like this: 1. lock memory hotplug 2. offline a memory block 3. unlock memory hotplug 4. repeat 1-3 to offline all memory blocks 5. lock memory hotplug 6. remove memory(TODO) 7. unlock memory hotplug All memory blocks must be offlined before removing memory. But we don't hold the lock in the whole operation. So we should check whether all memory blocks are offlined before step6. Otherwise, kernel maybe panicked. Offlining a memory block and removing a memory device can be two different operations. Users can just offline some memory blocks without removing the memory device. For this purpose, the kernel has held lock_memory_hotplug() in __offline_pages(). To reuse the code for memory hot-remove, we repeat step 1-3 to offline all the memory blocks, repeatedly lock and unlock memory hotplug, but not hold the memory hotplug lock in the whole operation.

memory can't be offlined when CONFIG_MEMCG is selected. For example: there is a memory device on node 1. The address range is [1G, 1.5G). You will find 4 new directories memory8, memory9, memory10, and memory11 under the directory /sys/devices/system/memory/. If CONFIG_MEMCG is selected, we will allocate memory to store page cgroup when we online pages. When we online memory8, the memory stored page cgroup is not provided by this memory device. But when we online memory9, the memory stored page cgroup may be provided by memory8. So we can't offline memory8 now. We should offline the memory in the reversed order. When the memory device is hotremoved, we will auto offline memory provided by this memory device. But we don't know which memory is onlined first, so offlining memory may fail. In such case, iterate twice to offline the memory. 1st iterate: offline every non primary memory block. 2nd iterate: offline primary (i.e. first added) memory block. This idea is suggested by KOSAKI Motohiro. Signed-off-by:

do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which caused issues. This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(), however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the size rounding logic in mm_populate().

The vm_populate() code populates user mappings without constantly holding the mmap_sem. This makes it susceptible to racy userspace programs: the user mappings may change while vm_populate() is running, and in this case vm_populate() may end up populating the new mapping instead of the old one. In order to reduce the possibility of userspace getting surprised by this behavior, this change introduces the VM_POPULATE vma flag which gets set on vmas we want vm_populate() to work on. This way vm_populate() may still end up populating the new mapping after such a race, but only if the new mapping is also one that the user has requested (using MAP_SHARED, MAP_LOCKED or mlock) to be populated.

In find_extend_vma(), we don't need mlock_vma_pages_range() to verify the vma type - we know we're working with a stack. So, we can call directly into __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and remove the last make_pages_present() call site. Note that we don't use mm_populate() here, so we can't release the mmap_sem while allocating new stack pages. This is deemed acceptable, because the stack vmas grow by a bounded number of pages at a time, and these are anon pages so we don't have to read from disk to populate them. Signed-off-by:

After the MAP_POPULATE handling has been moved to mmap_region() call sites, the only remaining use of the flags argument is to pass the MAP_NORESERVE flag. This can be just as easily handled by do_mmap_pgoff(), so do that and remove the mmap_region() flags parameter. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove double parens] Signed-off-by:

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked mmap_sem region. This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released. This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(), which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() / mlockall(). Signed-off-by:

We have many vma manipulation functions that are fast in the typical case, but can optionally be instructed to populate an unbounded number of ptes within the region they work on: - mmap with MAP_POPULATE or MAP_LOCKED flags; - remap_file_pages() with MAP_NONBLOCK not set or when working on a VM_LOCKED vma; - mmap_region() and all its wrappers when mlock(MCL_FUTURE) is in effect; - brk() when mlock(MCL_FUTURE) is in effect. Current code handles these pte operations locally, while the sourrounding code has to hold the mmap_sem write side since it's manipulating vmas. This means we're doing an unbounded amount of pte population work with mmap_sem held, and this causes problems as Andy Lutomirski reported (we've hit this at Google as well, though it's not entirely clear why people keep trying to use mlock(MCL_FUTURE) in the first place). I propose introducing a new mm_populate() function to do this pte population work after the mmap_sem has been released. mm_populate() does need to acquire the mmap_sem read side, but critically, it doesn't need to hold it continuously for the entire duration of the operation - it can drop it whenever things take too long (such as when hitting disk for a file read) and re-acquire it later on. The following patches are included - Patches 1 fixes some issues I noticed while working on the existing code. If needed, they could potentially go in before the rest of the patches. - Patch 2 introduces the new mm_populate() function and changes mmap_region() call sites to use it after they drop mmap_sem. This is inspired from Andy Lutomirski's proposal and is built as an extension of the work I had previously done for mlock() and mlockall() around v2.6.38-rc1. I had tried doing something similar at the time but had given up as there were so many do_mmap() call sites; the recent cleanups by Linus and Viro are a tremendous help here. - Patches 3-5 convert some of the less-obvious places doing unbounded pte populates to the new mm_populate() mechanism. - Patches 6-7 are code cleanups that are made possible by the mm_populate() work. In particular, they remove more code than the entire patch series added, which should be a good thing :) - Patch 8 is optional to this entire series. It only helps to deal more nicely with racy userspace programs that might modify their mappings while we're trying to populate them. It adds a new VM_POPULATE flag on the mappings we do want to populate, so that if userspace replaces them with mappings it doesn't want populated, mm_populate() won't populate those replacement mappings. This patch: Assorted small fixes. The first two are quite small: - Move check for vma->vm_private_data && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR) within existing if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)) block. Purely cosmetic. - In the VM_LOCKED case, when dropping PG_Mlocked for the over-mapped range, make sure we own the mmap_sem write lock around the munlock_vma_pages_range call as this manipulates the vma's vm_flags. Last fix requires a longer explanation. remap_file_pages() can do its work either through VM_NONLINEAR manipulation or by creating extra vmas. These two cases were inconsistent with each other (and ultimately, both wrong) as to exactly when did they fault in the newly mapped file pages: - In the VM_NONLINEAR case, new file pages would be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK flag wasn't passed. If MAP_NONBLOCK was passed, new file pages wouldn't be populated even if the vma is already marked as VM_LOCKED. - In the linear (emulated) case, the work is passed to the mmap_region() function which would populate the pages if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, and would not otherwise - regardless of the value of the MAP_NONBLOCK flag, because MAP_POPULATE wasn't being passed to mmap_region(). The desired behavior is that we want the pages to be populated and locked if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, or to be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK flag is not passed to remap_file_pages().

Now that balance_pgdat() is slightly tidied up, thanks to more capable pgdat_balanced(), it's become obvious that pgdat_balanced() is called to check the status, then break the loop if pgdat is balanced, just to be immediately called again. The second call is completely unnecessary, of course. The patch introduces pgdat_is_balanced boolean, which helps resolve the above suboptimal behavior, with the added benefit of slightly better documenting one other place in the function where we jump and skip lots of code.

Targeted (hard resp soft) reclaim has traditionally tried to scan one group with decreasing priority until nr_to_reclaim (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages) is reclaimed or all priorities are exhausted. The reclaim is then retried until the limit is met. This approach, however, doesn't work well with deeper hierarchies where groups higher in the hierarchy do not have any or only very few pages (this usually happens if those groups do not have any tasks and they have only re-parented pages after some of their children is removed). Those groups are reclaimed with decreasing priority pointlessly as there is nothing to reclaim from them. An easiest fix is to break out of the memcg iteration loop in shrink_zone only if the whole hierarchy has been visited or sufficient pages have been reclaimed. This is also more natural because the reclaimer expects that the hierarchy under the given root is reclaimed. As a result we can simplify the soft limit reclaim which does its own iteration.

Compaction uses the ALIGN macro incorrectly with the migrate scanner by adding pageblock_nr_pages to a PFN. It happened to work when initially implemented as the starting PFN was also aligned but with caching restarts and isolating in smaller chunks this is no longer always true. The impact is that the migrate scanner scans outside its current pageblock. As pfn_valid() is still checked properly it does not cause any failure and the impact of the bug is that in some cases it will scan more than necessary when it crosses a page boundary but by no more than COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX. It is highly unlikely this is even measurable but it's still wrong so this patch addresses the problem. Signed-off-by:
