<id>urn:sha1:8f251a3d5ce3bdea73bd045ed35db64f32e0d0d9</id>
<content type='text'>
Use the new hugetlb page specific flag HPageMigratable to replace the
page_huge_active interfaces.  By it's name, page_huge_active implied that
a huge page was on the active list.  However, that is not really what code
checking the flag wanted to know.  It really wanted to determine if the
huge page could be migrated.  This happens when the page is actually added
to the page cache and/or task page table.  This is the reasoning behind
the name change.

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls in the *_huge_active() interfaces are not
really necessary as we KNOW the page is a hugetlb page.  Therefore, they
are removed.

The routine page_huge_active checked for PageHeadHuge before testing the
active bit.  This is unnecessary in the case where we hold a reference or
lock and know it is a hugetlb head page.  page_huge_active is also called
without holding a reference or lock (scan_movable_pages), and can race
with code freeing the page.  The extra check in page_huge_active shortened
the race window, but did not prevent the race.  Offline code calling
scan_movable_pages already deals with these races, so removing the check
is acceptable.  Add comment to racy code.

<id>urn:sha1:d25b5bd8a8f420b15517c19c4626c0c009f72a63</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's
ok.  but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to
pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking.  Just taking lruvec lock
first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration.  To fix this
problem, we will clear the lru bit out of locking and use it as pin down
action to block the page isolation in memcg changing.

So now a standard steps of page isolation is following:
	1, get_page(); 	       #pin the page avoid to be free
	2, TestClearPageLRU(); #block other isolation like memcg change
	3, spin_lock on lru_lock; #serialize lru list access
	4, delete page from lru list;

This patch start with the first part: TestClearPageLRU, which combines
PageLRU check and ClearPageLRU into a macro func TestClearPageLRU.  This
function will be used as page isolation precondition to prevent other
isolations some where else.  Then there are may !PageLRU page on lru list,
need to remove BUG() checking accordingly.

There 2 rules for lru bit now:
1, the lru bit still indicate if a page on lru list, just in some
   temporary moment(isolating), the page may have no lru bit when
   it's on lru list.  but the page still must be on lru list when the
   lru bit set.
2, have to remove lru bit before delete it from lru list.

As Andrew Morton mentioned this change would dirty cacheline for a page
which isn't on the LRU.  But the loss would be acceptable in Rong Chen

PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy, offline,
table and guard).  Semantically it means that the page was accounted as a
kernel memory by the page allocator and has to be uncharged on the
release.

As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted page
can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and comments above).
In particular, this blocks the accounting of vmalloc-backed memory used
by some bpf maps, because these maps do map the memory to userspace.

One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page-&gt;mapcount,
which provides some free bits for page-&gt;page_type.

But it's way better to move this flag into page-&gt;memcg_data flags.
Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups and memory
cgroup pointer set in particular.

This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with
PageMemcgKmem() and an open-coded OR operation setting the memcg pointer
with the MEMCG_DATA_KMEM bit.  __ClearPageKmemcg() can be simple deleted,
as the whole memcg_data is zeroed at once.

As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will be
compiled out.

<title>mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for in-use pages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:79f5f8fab482dfff62948214468ac4ebbf0a016f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages.  Until
now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that
the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and
would skip that page.

This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like
compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist.

Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the
buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that
are ready and meant to be used as such.

Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages
we can soft offline.

- Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages)
- Hugetlb
- Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited)

* Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP)

  - If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate
    then by means of invalidate_inode_page().
  - If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance.

Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths.  Instead, we
keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right
handling.

page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page.

Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in
free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages
do not end up in any pcplist/freelist.

After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment
the poisoned pages counter.

If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can
always do what we do for free pages:

  - wait until the page hits buddy's freelists
  - take it off, and flag it

The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an
allocation, so by the time we  want to take the page off the buddy, the
page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it.
But the user could always retry it.

* Hugetlb pages

  - We isolate-and-migrate them

After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page,
and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed.
Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though.

While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an
allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional
and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other
places).
So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail
normally if the page we allocated in the meantime.

We can always build on top of this.

As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer
need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned
pages to end up in pcplists.

When trying to soft-offline a free page, we need to first take it off the
buddy allocator.  Once we know is out of reach, we can safely flag it as
poisoned.

take_page_off_buddy will be used to take a page meant to be poisoned off
the buddy allocator.  take_page_off_buddy calls break_down_buddy_pages,
which splits a higher-order page in case our page belongs to one.

Once the page is under our control, we call page_handle_poison to set it
as poisoned and grab a refcount on it.
