mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug
The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity.
For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting
arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System
RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section:
# cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM
200000000-303ffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
304000000-43fffffff : System RAM
440000000-23ffffffff : Persistent Memory
2400000000-43bfffffff : Persistent Memory
2400000000-43bfffffff : namespace2.0
WARNING: CPU: 38 PID: 928 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:850 add_pages+0x5c/0x60
[..]
RIP: 0010:add_pages+0x5c/0x60
[..]
Call Trace:
devm_memremap_pages+0x460/0x6e0
pmem_attach_disk+0x29e/0x680 [nd_pmem]
? nd_dax_probe+0xfc/0x120 [libnvdimm]
nvdimm_bus_probe+0x66/0x160 [libnvdimm]
It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

mm/sparsemem: prepare for sub-section ranges
Prepare the memory hot-{add,remove} paths for handling sub-section
ranges by plumbing the starting page frame and number of pages being
handled through arch_{add,remove}_memory() to
sparse_{add,remove}_one_section().
This is simply plumbing, small cleanups, and some identifier renames.
No intended functional changes.

mm/memory_hotplug: rename walk_memory_range() and pass start+size instead of pfns
walk_memory_range() was once used to iterate over sections. Now, it iterates over memory blocks. Rename the function, fixup the documentation. Also, pass start+size instead of PFNs, which is what most callers already have at hand. (we'll rework link_mem_sections() most probably soon) Follow-up patches will rework, simplify, and move walk_memory_blocks() to drivers/base/memory.c. Note: walk_memory_blocks() only works correctly right now if the start_pfn is aligned to a section start. This is the case right now, but we'll generalize the function in a follow up patch so the semantics match the documentation.

mm/memory_hotplug: allow arch_remove_memory() without CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
We want to improve error handling while adding memory by allowing to use
arch_remove_memory() and __remove_pages() even if
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not set to e.g., implement something like:
arch_add_memory()
rc = do_something();
if (rc) {
arch_remove_memory();
}
We won't get rid of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE for now, as it will require
quite some dependencies for memory offlining.

mm/hotplug: make remove_memory() interface usable
Presently the remove_memory() interface is inherently broken. It tries to remove memory but panics if some memory is not offline. The problem is that it is impossible to ensure that all memory blocks are offline as this function also takes lock_device_hotplug that is required to change memory state via sysfs. So, between calling this function and offlining all memory blocks there is always a window when lock_device_hotplug is released, and therefore, there is always a chance for a panic during this window. Make this interface to return an error if memory removal fails. This way it is safe to call this function without panicking machine, and also makes it symmetric to add_memory() which already returns an error.

mm, memory_hotplug: provide a more generic restrictions for memory hotplug
arch_add_memory, __add_pages take a want_memblock which controls whether the newly added memory should get the sysfs memblock user API (e.g. ZONE_DEVICE users do not want/need this interface). Some callers even want to control where do we allocate the memmap from by configuring altmap. Add a more generic hotplug context for arch_add_memory and __add_pages. struct mhp_restrictions contains flags which contains additional features to be enabled by the memory hotplug (MHP_MEMBLOCK_API currently) and altmap for alternative memmap allocator. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mm, memory_hotplug: cleanup memory offline path
check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked as vmemmap won't be isolated. Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on __offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value. check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn range. While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

mm/page_alloc.c: memory hotplug: free pages as higher order
When freeing pages are done with higher order, time spent on coalescing pages by buddy allocator can be reduced. With section size of 256MB, hot add latency of a single section shows improvement from 50-60 ms to less than 1 ms, hence improving the hot add latency by 60 times. Modify external providers of online callback to align with the change.

x86: respect memory size limiting via mem= parameter
When limiting memory size via kernel parameter "mem=" this should be respected even in case of memory made accessible via a PCI card. Today this kind of memory won't be made usable in initial memory setup as the memory won't be visible in E820 map, but it might be added when adding PCI devices due to corresponding ACPI table entries. Not respecting "mem=" can be corrected by adding a global max_mem_size variable set by parse_memopt() which will result in rejecting adding memory areas resulting in a memory size above the allowed limit.

Since the information needed in sparse_add_one_section() is node id to allocate proper memory, it is not necessary to pass its pgdat. This patch changes the prototype of sparse_add_one_section() to pass node id directly. This is intended to reduce misleading that sparse_add_one_section() would touch pgdat.

mm, memory_hotplug: add nid parameter to arch_remove_memory
Patch series "Do not touch pages in hot-remove path", v2.
This patchset aims for two things:
1) A better definition about offline and hot-remove stage
2) Solving bugs where we can access non-initialized pages
during hot-remove operations [2] [3].
This is achieved by moving all page/zone handling to the offline
stage, so we do not need to access pages when hot-removing memory.

[3] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg161316.html
This patch (of 5):
This is a preparation for the following-up patches. The idea of passing
the nid is that it will allow us to get rid of the zone parameter
afterwards.

mm/memory_hotplug: make remove_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock
Patch series "mm: online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock", v3. Reading through the code and studying how mem_hotplug_lock is to be used, I noticed that there are two places where we can end up calling device_online()/device_offline() - online_pages()/offline_pages() without the mem_hotplug_lock. And there are other places where we call device_online()/device_offline() without the device_hotplug_lock. While e.g. echo "online" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state is fine, e.g. echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/online Will not take the mem_hotplug_lock. However the device_lock() and device_hotplug_lock. E.g. via memory_probe_store(), we can end up calling add_memory()->online_pages() without the device_hotplug_lock. So we can have concurrent callers in online_pages(). We e.g. touch in online_pages() basically unprotected zone->present_pages then. Looks like there is a longer history to that (see Patch #2 for details), and fixing it to work the way it was intended is not really possible. We would e.g. have to take the mem_hotplug_lock in device/base/core.c, which sounds wrong. Summary: We had a lock inversion on mem_hotplug_lock and device_lock(). More details can be found in patch 3 and patch 6. I propose the general rules (documentation added in patch 6): 1. add_memory/add_memory_resource() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. 2. remove_memory() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and holds for all callers. 3. device_online()/device_offline() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and true for now in core code. Other callers (related to memory hotplug) have to be fixed up. 4. mem_hotplug_lock is taken inside of add_memory/remove_memory/ online_pages/offline_pages. To me, this looks way cleaner than what we have right now (and easier to verify). And looking at the documentation of remove_memory, using lock_device_hotplug also for add_memory() feels natural. This patch (of 6): remove_memory() is exported right now but requires the device_hotplug_lock, which is not exported. So let's provide a variant that takes the lock and only export that one. The lock is already held in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c Apart from that, there are not other users in the tree.

mm/page_alloc: Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug
Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such path. free_area_init_core() performs the following actions: 1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more. 2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on when creating hash tables. 3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and memmap pages. 4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data 5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists 6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs actions #1 and #4. Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results always in manages_pages being 0. Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone() online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone() This patch does two things: First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only perform: 1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more 4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals(). The second thing this patch does, is to introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of free_area_init_core(): Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages(). calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has. Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate this now. Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to: reset_node_managed_pages() reset_node_present_pages() The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when onlining the pages: online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range() online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range() Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace __paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE
Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE", v2. 0. History This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed. 1. What does this patch do? This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone. To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view, characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem. 2. Motivation There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone. Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway, following is the problems of the current implementation. o CMA memory utilization First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0 If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim, there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas would not be used. FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml. And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this problem. Useless reclaim: There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence, CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be usable for the kernel allocation. Atomic allocation failure: This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation logic. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would fails due to following logic. - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0 It was reported by Aneesh [3]. Useless compaction: Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction, migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the unmovable allocation request so it's just waste. 3. Current approach and new approach Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However, as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised. New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone. There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case. Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all. 4. Result Following is the experimental result related to utilization problem. 8 CPUs, 1024 MB, VIRTUAL MACHINE make -j16 <Before> CMA area: 0 MB 512 MB Elapsed-time: 92.4 186.5 pswpin: 82 18647 pswpout: 160 69839 <After> CMA : 0 MB 512 MB Elapsed-time: 93.1 93.4 pswpin: 84 46 pswpout: 183 92 akpm: "kernel test robot" reported a 26% improvement in vm-scalability.throughput: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180330012721.GA3845@yexl-desktop [1]: lkml.kernel.org/r/1491880640-9944-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com [2]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/15/623 [3]: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg100562.html Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1512114786-5085-2-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Reviewed-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org> Cc: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
