After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().
Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.
Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.
Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

For early sections, its memmap is handled specially even sub-section is
enabled. The memmap could only be populated as a whole.
Quoted from the comment of section_activate():
* The early init code does not consider partially populated
* initial sections, it simply assumes that memory will never be
* referenced. If we hot-add memory into such a section then we
* do not need to populate the memmap and can simply reuse what
* is already there.
While current section_deactivate() breaks this rule. When hot-remove a
sub-section, section_deactivate() would depopulate its memmap. The
consequence is if we hot-add this subsection again, its memmap never get
proper populated.
We can reproduce the case by following steps:
1. Hacking qemu to allow sub-section early section
: diff --git a/hw/i386/pc.c b/hw/i386/pc.c
: index 51b3050d01..c6a78d83c0 100644

:

2. Bootup qemu with PSE disabled and a sub-section aligned memory size
Part of the qemu command would look like this:
sudo x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
--enable-kvm -cpu host,pse=off \
-m 4160M,maxmem=20G,slots=1 \

3. Re-config a pmem device with sub-section size in guest
ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --size=16M
Then you would see the following call trace:

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Currently, to support subsection aligned memory region adding for pmem,
subsection map is added to track which subsection is present.
However, config ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. It means
subsection map only makes sense when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled. For the
classic sparse, it's meaningless. Even worse, it may confuse people when
checking code related to the classic sparse.
About the classic sparse which doesn't support subsection hotplug, Dan
said it's more because the effort and maintenance burden outweighs the
benefit. Besides, the current 64 bit ARCHes all enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE by default.
Combining the above reasons, no need to provide subsection map and the
relevant handling for the classic sparse. Let's remove them.

Memory sub-section hotplug was added to fix the issue that nvdimm could be

into struct mem_section_usage to implement it.
However, config ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. It means

into fill_subsection_map(), this makes section_activate() cleaner and

When allocating memmap for hot added memory with the classic sparse, the
specified 'nid' is ignored in populate_section_memmap().
While in allocating memmap for the classic sparse during boot, the node
given by 'nid' is preferred. And VMEMMAP prefers the node of 'nid' in
both boot stage and memory hot adding. So seems no reason to not respect
the node of 'nid' for the classic sparse when hot adding memory.
Use kvmalloc_node instead to use the passed in 'nid'.

The crash is due to NULL dereference at

due to ms->usage = NULL in pfn_section_valid()
With commit d41e2f3bd5 ("mm/hotplug: fix hot remove failure in
SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case") section_mem_map is set to NULL after
depopulate_section_mem(). This was done so that pfn_page() can work
correctly with kernel config that disables SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. With that
config pfn_to_page does
__section_mem_map_addr(__sec) + __pfn;
where
static inline struct page *__section_mem_map_addr(struct mem_section *section)
{
unsigned long map = section->section_mem_map;
map &= SECTION_MAP_MASK;
return (struct page *)map;
}
Now with SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled, mem_section->usage->subsection_map is
used to check the pfn validity (pfn_valid()). Since section_deactivate
release mem_section->usage if a section is fully deactivated,
pfn_valid() check after a subsection_deactivate cause a kernel crash.
static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
...
return early_section(ms) || pfn_section_valid(ms, pfn);
}
where
static inline int pfn_section_valid(struct mem_section *ms, unsigned long pfn)
{
int idx = subsection_map_index(pfn);
return test_bit(idx, ms->usage->subsection_map);
}
Avoid this by clearing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP when mem_section->usage is
freed. For architectures like ppc64 where large pages are used for
vmmemap mapping (16MB), a specific vmemmap mapping can cover multiple
sections. Hence before a vmemmap mapping page can be freed, the kernel
needs to make sure there are no valid sections within that mapping.
Clearing the section valid bit before depopulate_section_memap enables
this.

After commit ba72b4c8cf ("mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug"),
when a mem section is fully deactivated, section_mem_map still records
the section's start pfn, which is not used any more and will be
reassigned during re-addition.
In analogy with alloc/free pattern, it is better to clear all fields of
section_mem_map.
Beside this, it breaks the user space tool "makedumpfile" [1], which
makes assumption that a hot-removed section has mem_map as NULL, instead
of checking directly against SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT bit. (makedumpfile
will be better to change the assumption, and need a patch)
The bug can be reproduced on IBM POWERVM by "drmgr -c mem -r -q 5" ,
trigger a crash, and save vmcore by makedumpfile

When we remove an early section, we don't free the usage map, as the
usage maps of other sections are placed into the same page. Once the
section is removed, it is no longer an early section (especially, the
memmap is freed). When we re-add that section, the usage map is reused,
however, it is no longer an early section. When removing that section
again, we try to kfree() a usage map that was allocated during early
boot - bad.
Let's check against PageReserved() to see if we are dealing with an
usage map that was allocated during boot. We could also check against
!(PageSlab(usage_page) || PageCompound(usage_page)), but PageReserved() is
cleaner.

Tested on powernv with boot memory: The usage map will not get freed.
Tested on x86-64 with DIMMs: The usage map will get freed.
Using Dynamic Memory under a Power DLAPR can trigger it easily.
Triggering removal (I assume after previously removed+re-added) of

sparse_buffer_init() use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() to allocate memory
for page management structure, if memory allocation fails from specified
node, it will fall back to allocate from other nodes.
Normally, the page management structure will not exceed 2% of the total
memory, but a large continuous block of allocation is needed. In most
cases, memory allocation from the specified node will succeed, but a
node memory become highly fragmented will fail. we expect to allocate
memory base section rather than by allocating a large block of memory
from other NUMA nodes
Add memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() for this situation, which allocate
boot memory block on the exact node. If a large contiguous block memory
allocate fail in sparse_buffer_init(), it will fall back to allocate
small block memory base section.

Vincent has noticed [1] that there is something unusual with the memmap
allocations going on on his platform
: I noticed this because on my ARM64 platform, with 1 GiB of memory the
: first [and only] section is allocated from the zeroing path while with
: 2 GiB of memory the first 1 GiB section is allocated from the
: non-zeroing path.
The underlying problem is that although sparse_buffer_init allocates
enough memory for all sections on the node sparse_buffer_alloc is not
able to consume them due to mismatch in the expected allocation
alignement. While sparse_buffer_init preallocation uses the PAGE_SIZE
alignment the real memmap has to be aligned to section_map_size() this
results in a wasted initial chunk of the preallocated memmap and
unnecessary fallback allocation for a section.
While we are at it also change __populate_section_memmap to align to the
requested size because at least VMEMMAP has constrains to have memmap
properly aligned.

Building the kernel on s390 with -Og produces the following warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x28dabe): Section mismatch in reference from the function populate_section_memmap() to the function .meminit.text:__populate_section_memmap()
The function populate_section_memmap() references
the function __meminit __populate_section_memmap().
This is often because populate_section_memmap lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of __populate_section_memmap is wrong.
While -Og is not supported, in theory this might still happen with
another compiler or on another architecture. So fix this by using the
correct section annotations.
