[ Upstream commit 952eea9b01e4bbb7011329f1b7240844e61e5128 ]

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory.  Let's prepare to pass
flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.

Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running
and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're
hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory
regions to place kexec images.  It's important to add the memory
directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of
adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent
memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong
flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a
new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

[ Upstream commit 53d38316ab2017a7c0d733765b521700aa357ec9 ]

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v2.

Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64,
don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet.  Most
prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such
driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example,
having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided
memory map.

Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is
especially relevant for virtio-mem.  Details can be found in commit
7b7b27214bba ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce
add_memory_driver_managed()").

Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when
applicable.  This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64,
making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64.

This patch (of 2):

If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory.
While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added
without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use
memblock to detect valid memory.  Let's fail in a nice way instead of
silently ignoring the error.

commit 1640a0ef80f6d572725f5b0330038c18e98ea168 upstream.

When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers
directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed
to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP.  Use pfn calculation to
handle it properly.

Without the fix, a wrong number of page might be skipped. Since skip cannot be
negative, scan_movable_page() will end early and might miss a movable page with
-ENOENT. This might fail offline_pages(). No bug is reported. The fix comes
from code inspection.

[ Upstream commit 7ce82f4c3f3ead13a9d9498768e3b1a79975c4d8 ]

We might fail to isolate huge page due to e.g.  the page is under
migration which cleared HPageMigratable.  We should return errno in this
case rather than always return 1 which could confuse the user, i.e.  the
caller might think all of the memory is migrated while the hugetlb page is
left behind.  We make the prototype of isolate_huge_page consistent with
isolate_lru_page as suggested by Huang Ying and rename isolate_huge_page
to isolate_hugetlb as suggested by Muchun to improve the readability.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: improved dynamic memory group aware "auto-movable" online policy</title>
<updated>2021-09-08T18:50:23Z</updated>
<author>
<name>David Hildenbrand</name>
<email>david@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2021-09-08T02:55:48Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=3fcebf90209a7f52d384ad7701425aa91be309ab'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3fcebf90209a7f52d384ad7701425aa91be309ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the "auto-movable" online policy does not allow for hotplugged
KERNEL (ZONE_NORMAL) memory to increase the amount of MOVABLE memory we
can have, primarily, because there is no coordiantion across memory
devices and we don't want to create zone-imbalances accidentially when
unplugging memory.

However, within a single memory device it's different.  Let's allow for
KERNEL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for more MOVABLE
within the same memory group.  The only thing we have to take care of is
that the managing driver avoids zone imbalances by unplugging MOVABLE
memory first, otherwise there can be corner cases where unplug of memory
could result in (accidential) zone imbalances.

virtio-mem is the only user of dynamic memory groups and recently added
support for prioritizing unplug of ZONE_MOVABLE over ZONE_NORMAL, so we
don't need a new toggle to enable it for dynamic memory groups.

We limit this handling to dynamic memory groups, because:

* We want to keep the runtime overhead for collecting stats when
  onlining a single memory block small.  We tend to have only a handful of
  dynamic memory groups, but we can have quite some static memory groups
  (e.g., 256 DIMMs).

* It doesn't make too much sense for static memory groups, as we try
  onlining all applicable memory blocks either completely to ZONE_MOVABLE
  or not.  In ordinary operation, we won't have a mixture of zones within
  a static memory group.

When adding memory to a dynamic memory group, we'll first online memory to
ZONE_MOVABLE as long as early KERNEL memory allows for it.  Then, we'll
online the next unit(s) to ZONE_NORMAL, until we can online the next
unit(s) to ZONE_MOVABLE.

For a simple virtio-mem device with a MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio of 3:1, it will
result in a layout like:

  [M][M][M][M][M][M][M][M][N][M][M][M][N][M][M][M]...
  ^ movable memory due to early kernel memory
			   ^ allows for more movable memory ...
			      ^-----^ ... here
				       ^ allows for more movable memory ...
				          ^-----^ ... here

While the created layout is sub-optimal when it comes to contiguous zones,
it gives us the maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a
device; we can grow small VMs really big in small steps, and still shrink
reliably to e.g., 1/4 of the maximum VM size in this example, removing
full memory blocks along with meta data more reliably.

Mark dynamic memory groups in the xarray such that we can efficiently
iterate over them when collecting stats.  In usual setups, we have one
virtio-mem device per NUMA node, and usually only a small number of NUMA
nodes.

Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this
behavior configurable.

<content type='text'>
Use memory groups to improve our "auto-movable" onlining policy:

1. For static memory groups (e.g., a DIMM), online a memory block MOVABLE
   only if all other memory blocks in the group are either MOVABLE or could
   be onlined MOVABLE. A DIMM will either be MOVABLE or not, not a mixture.

2. For dynamic memory groups (e.g., a virtio-mem device), online a
   memory block MOVABLE only if all other memory blocks inside the
   current unit are either MOVABLE or could be onlined MOVABLE. For a
   virtio-mem device with a device block size with 512 MiB, all 128 MiB
   memory blocks wihin a 512 MiB unit will either be MOVABLE or not, not
   a mixture.

We have to pass the memory group to zone_for_pfn_range() to take the
memory group into account.

Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this
behavior configurable.

Let's track all present pages in each memory group.  Especially, track
memory present in ZONE_MOVABLE and memory present in one of the kernel
zones (which really only is ZONE_NORMAL right now as memory groups only
apply to hotplugged memory) separately within a memory group, to prepare
for making smart auto-online decision for individual memory blocks within
a memory group based on group statistics.

<title>drivers/base/memory: introduce "memory groups" to logically group memory blocks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:028fc57a1c361116e3bcebfeba4ca87878baaf4f</id>
<content type='text'>
In our "auto-movable" memory onlining policy, we want to make decisions
across memory blocks of a single memory device.  Examples of memory
devices include ACPI memory devices (in the simplest case a single DIMM)
and virtio-mem.  For now, we don't have a connection between a single
memory block device and the real memory device.  Each memory device
consists of 1..X memory block devices.

Let's logically group memory blocks belonging to the same memory device in
"memory groups".  Memory groups can span multiple physical ranges and a
memory group itself does not contain any information regarding physical
ranges, only properties (e.g., "max_pages") necessary for improved memory
onlining.

Introduce two memory group types:

1) Static memory group: E.g., a single ACPI memory device, consisting
   of 1..X memory resources.  A memory group consists of 1..Y memory
   blocks.  The whole group is added/removed in one go.  If any part
   cannot get offlined, the whole group cannot be removed.

2) Dynamic memory group: E.g., a single virtio-mem device.  Memory is
   dynamically added/removed in a fixed granularity, called a "unit",
   consisting of 1..X memory blocks.  A unit is added/removed in one go.
   If any part of a unit cannot get offlined, the whole unit cannot be
   removed.

In case of 1) we usually want either all memory managed by ZONE_MOVABLE or
none.  In case of 2) we usually want to have as many units as possible
managed by ZONE_MOVABLE.  We want a single unit to be of the same type.

For now, memory groups are an internal concept that is not exposed to user
space; we might want to change that in the future, though.

add_memory() users can specify a mgid instead of a nid when passing the
MHP_NID_IS_MGID flag.
