The __folio_alloc(), __folio_alloc_node() and folio_alloc() functions
are mostly for type safety, but they also ensure that the page allocator
allocates a compound page and initialises the deferred list if the page
is large enough to have one.

As a default implementation, call arch_make_page_accessible n times.
If an architecture can do better, it can override this.
Also move the default implementation of arch_make_page_accessible()

Poisoning freed pages protects against kernel use-after-free. The
likelihood of such a bug involving kernel pages is significantly higher
than that for user pages. At the same time, poisoning freed pages can
impose a significant performance cost, which cannot always be justified
for user pages given the lower probability of finding a bug. Therefore,
disable freed user page poisoning when using HW tags. We identify
"user" pages via the flag set GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which indicates
a strong likelihood of not being directly accessible to the kernel.

Currently, on an anonymous page fault, the kernel allocates a zeroed
page and maps it in user space. If the mapping is tagged (PROT_MTE),
set_pte_at() additionally clears the tags. It is, however, more
efficient to clear the tags at the same time as zeroing the data on
allocation. To avoid clearing the tags on any page (which may not be
mapped as tagged), only do this if the vma flags contain VM_MTE. This
requires introducing a new GFP flag that is used to determine whether
to clear the tags.
The DC GZVA instruction with a 0 top byte (and 0 tag) requires
top-byte-ignore. Set the TCR_EL1.{TBI1,TBID1} bits irrespective of
whether KASAN_HW is enabled.

Patch series "mm,thp,shm: limit shmem THP alloc gfp_mask", v6.
The allocation flags of anonymous transparent huge pages can be controlled
through the files in /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag, which can
help the system from getting bogged down in the page reclaim and
compaction code when many THPs are getting allocated simultaneously.
However, the gfp_mask for shmem THP allocations were not limited by those
configuration settings, and some workloads ended up with all CPUs stuck on
the LRU lock in the page reclaim code, trying to allocate dozens of THPs
simultaneously.
This patch applies the same configurated limitation of THPs to shmem
hugepage allocations, to prevent that from happening.
This way a THP defrag setting of "never" or "defer+madvise" will result in
quick allocation failures without direct reclaim when no 2MB free pages
are available.
With this patch applied, THP allocations for tmpfs will be a little more
aggressive than today for files mmapped with MADV_HUGEPAGE, and a little
less aggressive for files that are not mmapped or mapped without that
flag.

This patch applies the same configurated limitation of THPs to shmem
hugepage allocations, to prevent that from happening.
Controlling the gfp_mask of THP allocations through the knobs in sysfs
allows users to determine the balance between how aggressively the system
tries to allocate THPs at fault time, and how much the application may end
up stalling attempting those allocations.
This way a THP defrag setting of "never" or "defer+madvise" will result in
quick allocation failures without direct reclaim when no 2MB free pages
are available.
With this patch applied, THP allocations for tmpfs will be a little more

In the current implementation of page_frag_alloc(), it doesn't have
any align guarantee for the returned buffer address. But for some
hardwares they do require the DMA buffer to be aligned correctly,
so we would have to use some workarounds like below if the buffers
allocated by the page_frag_alloc() are used by these hardwares for
DMA.
buf = page_frag_alloc(really_needed_size + align);
buf = PTR_ALIGN(buf, align);
These codes seems ugly and would waste a lot of memories if the buffers
are used in a network driver for the TX/RX. So introduce
page_frag_alloc_align() to make sure that an aligned buffer address is
returned.

There is a general understanding that GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_NOWAIT are to be used
from atomic contexts. E.g. from within a spin lock or from the IRQ
context. This is correct but there are some atomic contexts where the
above doesn't hold. One of them would be an NMI context. Page allocator
has never supported that and the general fear of this context didn't let
anybody to actually even try to use the allocator there. Good, but let's
be more specific about that.
Another such a context, and that is where people seem to be more daring,
is raw_spin_lock. Mostly because it simply resembles regular spin lock
which is supported by the allocator and there is not any implementation
difference with !RT kernels in the first place. Be explicit that such a
context is not supported by the allocator. The underlying reason is that
zone->lock would have to become raw_spin_lock as well and that has turned
out to be a problem for RT
