Make accept_memory() and range_contains_unaccepted_memory() take 'start'
and 'size' arguments instead of 'start' and 'end'.
Remove accept_page(), replacing it with direct calls to accept_memory().
The accept_page() name is going to be used for a different function.

Currently, the kernel only accepts memory in get_page_from_freelist(), but
there is another path that directly takes pages from free lists -
__alloc_page_bulk(). This function can consume all accepted memory and
will resort to __alloc_pages_noprof() if necessary.
Conditionally accepted in __alloc_pages_bulk().
The same issue may arise due to deferred page initialization. Kick the
deferred initialization machinery before abandoning the zone, as the
kernel does in get_page_from_freelist().

Patch series "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory", v2.
The patchset addresses several issues related to unaccepted memory.
Pacth 1/7 preparatory cleanup.
Patch 2/7 ensures that __alloc_pages_bulk() will not exhaust all
accepted memory without accepting more.
Patches 3/7-5/7 are preparations for patch 6/7, which fixes
alloc_config_page() on machines with unaccepted memory. This allows, for
example, the allocation of gigantic pages at runtime.
Patch 7/7 enables the kernel to accept memory up to the promo watermark.
This patch (of 7):
Add dummy _deferred_grow_zone() for !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and remove
#ifdefs in two places.
No functional changes.

Unaccepted memory is considered unusable free memory, which is not counted
as free on the zone watermark check. This causes get_page_from_freelist()
to accept more memory to hit the high watermark, but it creates problems
in the reclaim path.
The reclaim path encounters a failed zone watermark check and attempts to
reclaim memory. This is usually successful, but if there is little or no
reclaimable memory, it can result in endless reclaim with little to no
progress. This can occur early in the boot process, just after start of
the init process when the only reclaimable memory is the page cache of the
init executable and its libraries.
Make unaccepted memory free from watermark check point of view. This way
unaccepted memory will never be the trigger of memory reclaim. Accept
more memory in the get_page_from_freelist() if needed.

Currently, when memory is hot-plugged or hot-removed the accounting is
done based on the assumption that memmap is allocated from the same node
as the hot-plugged/hot-removed memory, which is not always the case.
In addition, there are challenges with keeping the node id of the memory
that is being remove to the time when memmap accounting is actually
performed: since this is done after remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and
also after remove_memory_block_devices(). Meaning that we cannot use
pgdat nor walking though memblocks to get the nid.
Given all of that, account the memmap overhead system wide instead.
For this we are going to be using global atomic counters, but given that
memmap size is rarely modified, and normally is only modified either
during early boot when there is only one CPU, or under a hotplug global
mutex lock, therefore there is no need for per-cpu optimizations.
Also, while we are here rename nr_memmap to nr_memmap_pages, and
nr_memmap_boot to nr_memmap_boot_pages to be self explanatory that the
units are in page count.

rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.
Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.
I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.
Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.
Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.
Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is
confusing against the new realtime_task().
No functional changes were intended.

It's expected that no page should be left in pcp_list after calling
zone_pcp_disable() in offline_pages(). Previously, it's observed that
offline_pages() gets stuck [1] due to some pages remaining in pcp_list.
Cause:
There is a race condition between drain_pages_zone() and __rmqueue_pcplist()
involving the pcp->count variable. See below scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---------------- ---------------
spin_lock(&pcp->lock);
__rmqueue_pcplist() {
zone_pcp_disable() {
/* list is empty */
if (list_empty(list)) {
/* add pages to pcp_list */
alloced = rmqueue_bulk()
mutex_lock(&pcp_batch_high_lock)
...
__drain_all_pages() {
drain_pages_zone() {
/* read pcp->count, it's 0 here */
count = READ_ONCE(pcp->count)
/* 0 means nothing to drain */
/* update pcp->count */
pcp->count += alloced << order;
...
...
spin_unlock(&pcp->lock);
In this case, after calling zone_pcp_disable() though, there are still some
pages in pcp_list. And these pages in pcp_list are neither movable nor
isolated, offline_pages() gets stuck as a result.
Solution:
Expand the scope of the pcp->lock to also protect pcp->count in
drain_pages_zone(), to ensure no pages are left in the pcp list after
zone_pcp_disable()

This mostly reverts commit af3b854492 ("mm/page_alloc.c: allow error
injection"). The commit made should_fail_alloc_page() a noinline function
that's always called from the page allocation hotpath, even if it's empty
because CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC is not enabled, and there is no option to
disable it and prevent the associated function call overhead.
As with the preceding patch "mm, slab: put should_failslab back behind
CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB" and for the same reasons, put the
should_fail_alloc_page() back behind the config option. When enabled, the
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION and BTF_ID records are preserved so it's not a
complete revert.

The prefetchw() is introduced from an ancient patch[1].
The change log says:
The basic idea is to free higher order pages instead of going
through every single one. Also, some unnecessary atomic operations
are done away with and replaced with non-atomic equivalents, and
prefetching is done where it helps the most. For a more in-depth
discusion of this patch, please see the linux-ia64 archives (topic
is "free bootmem feedback patch").
So there are several changes improve the bootmem freeing, in which the
most basic idea is freeing higher order pages. And as Matthew says,
"Itanium CPUs of this era had no prefetchers."
I did 10 round bootup tests before and after this change, the data doesn't
prove prefetchw() help speeding up bootmem freeing. The sum of the 10
round bootmem freeing time after prefetchw() removal even 5.2% faster than
before.

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.

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.

This patch (of 3):
In preparation for further changes, let's teach __free_pages_core() about
the differences of memory hotplug handling.
Move the memory hotplug specific handling from generic_online_page() to
__free_pages_core(), use adjust_managed_page_count() on the memory hotplug
path, and spell out why memory freed via memblock cannot currently use
adjust_managed_page_count().

Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much
it takes away from the machine capacity. Thus, we want to describe the
amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary
depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use.
This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below:
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator:
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE
Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine:
(/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot +
/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE
Utility for userspace:
Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to
per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is
not currently observable.
Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help
detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the
machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc).
page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner
page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel
parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users
precisely measure impact. Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect
the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when
hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb
vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

Patch series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
Let's remove highmem special-casing from adjust_managed_page_count(), to
result in less confusion why memblock manually adjusts totalram_pages, and
__free_pages_core() only adjusts the zone's managed pages -- what about
the highmem pages that adjust_managed_page_count() updates?
Now, we only maintain totalram_pages and a zone's managed pages
independent of highmem support. We can derive the number of highmem pages
simply by looking at the relevant zone's managed pages. I don't think
there is any particular fast path that needs a maximum-efficient
totalhigh_pages() implementation.
Note that highmem memory is currently initialized using
free_highmem_page()->free_reserved_page(), not __free_pages_core(). In
the future we might want to also use __free_pages_core() to initialize
highmem memory, to make that less special, and consider moving
totalram_pages updates into __free_pages_core() [1], so we can just use
adjust_managed_page_count() in there as well.
Booting a simple kernel in QEMU reveals no highmem accounting change:
Before:
Memory: 3095448K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49760K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
2244488K highmem)
After:
Memory: 3095276K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49932K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
2244488K highmem)

This patch (of 2):
Can we get rid of the highmem ifdef in adjust_managed_page_count()?
Likely yes: we don't have that many totalhigh_pages() users, and they all
don't seem to be very performance critical.
So let's implement totalhigh_pages() like nr_free_highpages(), collecting
information from all zones. This is now similar to what we do in
si_meminfo_node() to collect the per-node highmem page count.
In the common case (single node, 3-4 zones), we really shouldn't care. We
could optimize a bit further (only walk ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_MOVABLE if
required), but there doesn't seem a real need for that.

Since commit 5d0a661d80 ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for
THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of
pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation
requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not
acceptable.
If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the
CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual
machine with device passthrough will get stuck. During starting the
virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM,
...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area,
pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA
area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation
requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will
migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check
in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless.
Call trace:
pin_user_pages_remote
--__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function
----_get_user_pages_locked
----check_and_migrate_movable_pages
------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages
--------alloc_migration_target
This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself. For example,
when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc()
or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's
users can retrieve that contigous memory. Currently, CMA's memory is
occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them. As a
result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail.
To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not
introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages. THP will have 2 PCP
lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list
is used by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE,
and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.

There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.
There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.
Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.
... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));
Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.
Let's revert it. Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

While trying to service a movable allocation (page type 1), the page
allocator runs into a two-pageblock buddy on the movable freelist whose
second block is typed as highatomic (page type 3).
This inconsistency is caused by the highatomic reservation system
operating on single pageblocks, while MAX_ORDER can be bigger than that -
in this configuration, pageblock_order is 9 while MAX_PAGE_ORDER is 10.
The test case is observed to make several adjacent order-3 requests with
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM cleared, which marks the surrounding block as
highatomic. Upon freeing, the blocks merge into an order-10 buddy. When
the highatomic pool is drained later on, this order-10 buddy gets moved
back to the movable list, but only the first pageblock is marked movable
again. A subsequent expand() of this buddy warns about the tail being of
a different type.
This is a long-standing bug that's surfaced by the recent block type
warnings added to the allocator. The consequences seem mostly benign, it
just results in odd behavior: the highatomic tail blocks are not properly
drained, instead they end up on the movable list first, then go back to
the highatomic list after an alloc-free cycle.
To fix this, make the highatomic reservation code aware that
allocations/buddies can be larger than a pageblock.
While it's an old quirk, the recently added type consistency warnings seem
to be the most prominent consequence of it. Set the Fixes: tag
accordingly to highlight this backporting dependency.

Currently, compaction_capture() does not allow lower-order allocations to
directly capture the movable free pages, even though lower-order
allocations might also be requesting movable pages, that can lead to more
compaction scanning. And, with the enablement of mTHP, such situations
will become more common.
Thus allowing lower-order (mTHP) allocations of movable page types
directly capture the movable free pages can avoid unnecessary compaction
scanning, meanwhile that won't pollute the movable pageblock. With
testing 1M mTHP compaction, it can be seen that compaction scanning is
significantly reduced.

We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary.
For tracing purposes, we use page_mapcount() in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range(). Adding that mapcount to total_mapped
sounds strange: total_migrated and total_reclaimed would count each page
only once, not multiple times.
But then, isolate_migratepages_range() adds each folio only once to the
list. So for large folios, we would query the mapcount of the first page
of the folio, which doesn't make too much sense for large folios.
Let's simply use folio_mapped() * folio_nr_pages(), which makes more sense
as nr_migratepages is also incremented by the number of pages in the folio
in case of successful migration.

Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value. The mapcount
of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount
and all page mapcounts.
This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is
also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped().
With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want
to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of
large folios. The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no
pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for
mTHP that are always mapped by PTE.
Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and
might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel
configs. Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios
efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages.
Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity. Use the new
mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped(). Make
page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped(). We can now get rid of
folio_large_is_mapped().
_nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes.
Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be
limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes.
This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever
mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio.
As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during
unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the
large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common
case is small. Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio
(e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's
essentially one additional atomic operation.
Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount
would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference. Extend the
focumentation of folio_mapcount().

Commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") extends the PCP allocator to store THP pages, and
it determines whether to cache THP pages in PCP by comparing with
pageblock_order. But the pageblock_order is not always equal to THP
order. It might also be MAX_PAGE_ORDER, which could prevent PCP from
caching THP pages.
Therefore, using HPAGE_PMD_ORDER instead to determine the need for caching
THP for PCP will fix this issue

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.
Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.
CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

Earlier, in commit 1dd214b8f2 ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging
non-fallbackable pageblocks with others"), migrate type MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE are removed from fallbacks list since they are never used.
Later on, in commit ("aa02d3c174ab mm/page_alloc: reduce fallbacks to
(MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1)"), the array column size is reduced to
'MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1'. In fact, the array row size need be reduced to
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES too since it's only covering rows of the number
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES. Even though the current code has handled cases
when the migratetype is CMA, HIGHATOMIC and MEMORY_ISOLATION, making
the row size right is still good to avoid future error and confusion.

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.

Page isolation currently sets MIGRATE_ISOLATE on a block, then drops
zone->lock and scans the block for straddling buddies to split up.
Because this happens non-atomically wrt the page allocator, it's possible
for allocations to get a buddy whose first block is a regular pcp
migratetype but whose tail is isolated. This means that in certain cases
memory can still be allocated after isolation. It will also trigger the
freelist type hygiene warnings in subsequent patches.

Introduce a variant of move_freepages_block() provided by the allocator
specifically for page isolation; it moves free pages, converts the block,
and handles the splitting of straddling buddies while holding zone->lock.
The allocator knows that pageblocks and buddies are always naturally
aligned, which means that buddies can only straddle blocks if they're
actually >pageblock_order. This means the search-and-split part can be
simplified compared to what page isolation used to do.
Also tighten up the page isolation code around the expectations of which
pages can be large, and how they are freed.
Based on extensive discussions with and invaluable input from Zi Yan.

There are three freeing paths that read the page's migratetype
optimistically before grabbing the zone lock. When this races with block
stealing, those pages go on the wrong freelist.
The paths in question are:
- when freeing >costly orders that aren't THP
- when freeing pages to the buddy upon pcp lock contention
- when freeing pages that are isolated
- when freeing pages initially during boot
- when freeing the remainder in alloc_pages_exact()
- when "accepting" unaccepted VM host memory before first use
- when freeing pages during unpoisoning
None of these are so hot that they would need this optimization at the
cost of hampering defrag efforts. Especially when contrasted with the
fact that the most common buddy freeing path - free_pcppages_bulk - is
checking the migratetype under the zone->lock just fine.
In addition, isolated pages need to look up the migratetype under the lock
anyway, which adds branches to the locked section, and results in a double
lookup when the pages are in fact isolated.
Move the lookups into the lock.

Currently, page block type conversion during fallbacks, atomic
reservations and isolation can strand various amounts of free pages on
incorrect freelists.
For example, fallback stealing moves free pages in the block to the new
type's freelists, but then may not actually claim the block for that type
if there aren't enough compatible pages already allocated.
In all cases, free page moving might fail if the block straddles more than
one zone, in which case no free pages are moved at all, but the block type
is changed anyway.
This is detrimental to type hygiene on the freelists. It encourages
incompatible page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another) and
thus contributes to long-term fragmentation.
Split the process into a proper transaction: check first if conversion
will happen, then try to move the free pages, and only if that was
successful convert the block to the new type.
