"Three MM hotfixes, all three are cc:stable"
* tag 'mm-hotfixes-stable-2026-02-13-07-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm:

Several subsystems (slub, shmem, ttm, etc.) use page->private but don't
clear it before freeing pages. When these pages are later allocated as
high-order pages and split via split_page(), tail pages retain stale
page->private values.
This causes a use-after-free in the swap subsystem. The swap code uses
page->private to track swap count continuations, assuming freshly
allocated pages have page->private == 0. When stale values are present,
swap_count_continued() incorrectly assumes the continuation list is valid
and iterates over uninitialized page->lru containing LIST_POISON values,
causing a crash:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000100-0xdead000000000107]
RIP: 0010:__do_sys_swapoff+0x1151/0x1860
Fix this by clearing page->private in free_pages_prepare(), ensuring all
freed pages have clean state regardless of previous use.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE is enabled,
debug_check_no_{obj,locks}_freed() functions are called.
Since both of them spin on a lock, they are not safe to be called if the
FPI_TRYLOCK flag is specified. This leads to a lockdep splat:

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- The percpu sheaves caching layer was introduced as opt-in in 6.18 and
now we enable it for all caches and remove the previous cpu (partial)
slab caching mechanism.
Besides the lower locking overhead and much more likely fastpath when
freeing, this removes the rather complicated code related to the cpu
slab lockless fastpaths (using this_cpu_try_cmpxchg128/64) and all
its complications for PREEMPT_RT or kmalloc_nolock().
The lockless slab freelist+counters update operation using
try_cmpxchg128/64 remains and is crucial for freeing remote NUMA
objects, and to allow flushing objects from sheaves to slabs mostly
without the node list_lock (Vlastimil Babka)
- Eliminate slabobj_ext metadata overhead when possible. Instead of
using kmalloc() to allocate the array for memcg and/or allocation
profiling tag pointers, use leftover space in a slab or per-object
padding due to alignment (Harry Yoo)
- Various followup improvements to the above (Hao Li)

Currently, kswapd_failures is reset in multiple places (kswapd, direct
reclaim, PCP freeing, memory-tiers), but there's no way to trace when and
why it was reset, making it difficult to debug memory reclaim issues.
This patch:
1. Introduce kswapd_clear_hopeless() as a wrapper function to
centralize kswapd_failures reset logic.
2. Introduce kswapd_test_hopeless() to encapsulate hopeless node
checks, replacing all open-coded kswapd_failures comparisons.
3. Add kswapd_clear_hopeless_reason enum to distinguish reset sources:
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_KSWAPD: reset from kswapd context
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_DIRECT: reset from direct reclaim
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_PCP: reset from PCP page freeing
- KSWAPD_CLEAR_HOPELESS_OTHER: reset from other paths
4. Add tracepoints for better observability:
- mm_vmscan_kswapd_clear_hopeless: traces each reset with reason
- mm_vmscan_kswapd_reclaim_fail: traces each kswapd reclaim failure
Test results:
$ trace-cmd record -e vmscan:mm_vmscan_kswapd_clear_hopeless -e vmscan:mm_vmscan_kswapd_reclaim_fail
$ # generate memory pressure

There are no more cpu slabs so we don't need their deferred
deactivation. The function is now only used from places where we
allocate a new slab but then can't spin on node list_lock to put it on
the partial list. Instead of the deferred action we can free it directly
via __free_slab(), we just need to tell it to use _nolock() freeing of
the underlying pages and take care of the accounting.
Since free_frozen_pages_nolock() variant does not yet exist for code
outside of the page allocator, create it as a trivial wrapper for
__free_frozen_pages(..., FPI_TRYLOCK).

Patch series "mm: hugetlb: allocate frozen gigantic folio", v6.
Introduce alloc_contig_frozen_pages() and cma_alloc_frozen_compound()
which avoid atomic operation about page refcount, and then convert to
allocate frozen gigantic folio by the new helpers in hugetlb to cleanup
the alloc_gigantic_folio().
This patch (of 6):
Add a new helper to free huge page to be consistency to
debug_vm_pgtable_alloc_huge_page(), and use HPAGE_PUD_ORDER instead of
open-code.
Also move the free_contig_range() under CONFIG_ALLOC_CONTIG since all
caller are built with CONFIG_ALLOC_CONTIG.

The actions done before entering the main retry loop include waking up
kswapds and an allocation attempt with the precise alloc_flags. Then in
the loop we keep waking up kswapds, and we retry the allocation with flags
potentially further adjusted by being allowed to use reserves (due to e.g.
becoming an OOM killer victim).
We can adjust the retry loop to keep only one instance of waking up
kswapds and allocation attempt. Introduce the can_retry_reserves variable
for retrying once when we become eligible for reserves. It is still
useful not to evaluate reserve_flags immediately for the first allocation
attempt, because it's better to first try succeed in a non-preferred zone
above the min watermark before allocating immediately from the preferred
zone below min watermark.
Additionally move the cpuset update checks introduced by e05741fb10c3
("mm/page_alloc.c: avoid infinite retries caused by cpuset race") further
down the retry loop. It's enough to do the checks only before reaching
any potentially infinite 'goto retry;' loop.
There should be no meaningful functional changes. The change of exact
moments the retry for reserves and cpuset updates are checked should not
result in different outomes modulo races with concurrent allocator
activity.

The initial direct compaction done in some cases in
__alloc_pages_slowpath() stands out from the main retry loop of reclaim +
compaction.
We can simplify this by instead skipping the initial reclaim attempt via a
new local variable compact_first, and handle the compact_prority as
necessary to match the original behavior. No functional change intended.

Patch series "tweaks for __alloc_pages_slowpath()", v3.
This patch (of 3):
For allocations that are of costly order and __GFP_NORETRY (and can
perform compaction) we attempt direct compaction first. If that fails, we
continue with a single round of direct reclaim+compaction (as for other
__GFP_NORETRY allocations, except the compaction is of lower priority),
with two exceptions that fail immediately:
- __GFP_THISNODE is specified, to prevent zone_reclaim_mode-like
behavior for e.g. THP page faults
- compaction failed because it was deferred (i.e. has been failing
recently so further attempts are not done for a while) or skipped,
which means there are insufficient free base pages to defragment to
begin with
Upon closer inspection, the second condition has a somewhat flawed
reasoning. If there are not enough base pages and reclaim could create
them, we instead fail. When there are enough base pages and compaction
has already ran and failed, we proceed and hope that reclaim and the
subsequent compaction attempt will succeed. But it's unclear why they
should and whether it will be as inexpensive as intended.
It might make therefore more sense to just fail unconditionally after the
initial compaction attempt. However that would change the semantics of
__GFP_NORETRY to attempt reclaim at least once.
Alternatively we can remove the compaction result checks and proceed with
the single reclaim and (lower priority) compaction attempt, leaving only
the __GFP_THISNODE exception for failing immediately.

We presently skip regions with hugepages entirely when trying to do
contiguous page allocation. This will cause otherwise-movable 2MB HugeTLB
pages to be considered unmovable, and makes 1GB gigantic page allocation
less reliable on systems utilizing both.
Commit 4d73ba5fa710 ("mm: page_alloc: skip regions with hugetlbfs pages
when allocating 1G pages") skipped all HugePage containing regions because
it can cause significant delays in 1G allocation (as HugeTLB migrations
may fail for a number of reasons).
Instead, if hugepage migration is enabled, consider regions with hugepages
smaller than the target contiguous allocation request as valid targets for
allocation.
We optimize for the existing behavior by searching for non-hugetlb regions
in a first pass, then retrying the search to include hugetlb only on
failure. This allows the existing fast-path to remain the default case
with a slow-path fallback to increase reliability.
We only fallback to the slow path if a hugetlb region was detected, and we
do a full re-scan because the zones/blocks may have changed during the
first pass (and it's not worth further complexity).
isolate_migrate_pages_block() has similar hugetlb filter logic, and the
hugetlb code does a migratable check in folio_isolate_hugetlb() during
isolation. The code servicing the allocation and migration already
supports this exact use case.
To test, allocate a bunch of 2MB HugeTLB pages (in this case 48GB) and
then attempt to allocate some 1G HugeTLB pages (in this case 4GB) (Scale
to your machine's memory capacity).
echo 24576 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 4 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
Prior to this patch, the 1GB page reservation can fail if no contiguous
1GB pages remain. After this patch, the kernel will try to move 2MB pages
and successfully allocate the 1GB pages (assuming overall sufficient
memory is available). Also tested this while a program had the 2MB
reservations mapped, and the 1GB reservation still succeeds.
folio_alloc_gigantic() is the primary user of alloc_contig_pages(),
other users are debug or init-time allocations and largely unaffected.
- ppc/memtrace is a debugfs interface
- x86/tdx memory allocation occurs once on module-init
- kfence/core happens once on module (late) init
- THP uses it in debug_vm_pgtable_alloc_huge_page at __init time

Since commit cc638f329ef6 ("mm, thp: tweak reclaim/compaction effort of
local-only and all-node allocations"), THP page fault allocations have
settled on the following scheme (from the commit log):
1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction.
2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP
allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting
and VMA madvise
3. fallback to base pages on any node
Recent customer reports however revealed we have a gap in step 1 above.
What we have seen is excessive reclaim due to THP page faults on a NUMA
node that's close to its high watermark, while other nodes have plenty of
free memory.
The problem with step 1 is that it promises no reclaim after the
compaction attempt, however reclaim is only avoided for certain compaction
outcomes (deferred, or skipped due to insufficient free base pages), and
not e.g. when compaction is actually performed but fails (we did see
compact_fail vmstat counter increasing).
THP page faults can therefore exhibit a zone_reclaim_mode-like behavior,
which is not the intention.
Thus add a check for __GFP_THISNODE that corresponds to this exact
situation and prevents continuing with reclaim/compaction once the initial
compaction attempt isn't successful in allocating the page.
Note that commit cc638f329ef6 has not introduced this over-reclaim
possibility; it appears to exist in some form since commit 2f0799a0ffc0
("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"). Followup commits
b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may
not succeed") and cc638f329ef6 have moved in the right direction, but left
the abovementioned gap.

Matthew has analyzed the report and identified that in drain_page_zone()
we are in a section protected by spin_lock(&pcp->lock) and then get an
interrupt that attempts spin_trylock() on the same lock. The code is
designed to work this way without disabling IRQs and occasionally fail the
trylock with a fallback. However, the SMP=n spinlock implementation
assumes spin_trylock() will always succeed, and thus it's normally a
no-op. Here the enabled lock debugging catches the problem, but otherwise
it could cause a corruption of the pcp structure.
The problem has been introduced by commit 574907741599 ("mm/page_alloc:
leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations"). The pcp locking scheme
recognizes the need for disabling IRQs to prevent nesting spin_trylock()
sections on SMP=n, but the need to prevent the nesting in spin_lock() has
not been recognized. Fix it by introducing local wrappers that change the
spin_lock() to spin_lock_iqsave() with SMP=n and use them in all places
that do spin_lock(&pcp->lock).

When page isolation loops indefinitely during memory offline, reading
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_high_fraction blocks on pcp_batch_high_lock,
causing hung task warnings.
Make procfs reads lock-free since percpu_pagelist_high_fraction is a
simple integer with naturally atomic reads, writers still serialize via
the mutex.
This prevents hung task warnings when reading the procfs file during
long-running memory offline operations.

It would be useful to be able to check for potential DMA pages beyond
just ZONE_DMA - generalise the existing has_managed_dma() function to
allow checking other zones too.

Commit 2783088ef24e ("mm/page_alloc: prevent reporting pcp->batch = 0")
moved the error handling (0-handling) of zone_batchsize from its callers
to inside the function. However, the commit left out the error handling
for the NOMMU case, leading to deadlocks on NOMMU systems.
For NOMMU systems, return 1 instead of 0 for zone_batchsize, which
restores the previous deadlock-free behavior.
There is no functional difference expected with this patch before commit
2783088ef24e, other than the pr_debug in zone_pcp_init now printing out 1
instead of 0 for zones in NOMMU systems. Not only is this a pr_debug, the
difference is purely semantic anyways.

When a page is freed it coalesces with a buddy into a higher order page
while possible. When the buddy page migrate type differs, it is expected
to be updated to match the one of the page being freed.
However, only the first pageblock of the buddy page is updated, while the
rest of the pageblocks are left unchanged.
That causes warnings in later expand() and other code paths (like below),
since an inconsistency between migration type of the list containing the
page and the page-owned pageblocks migration types is introduced.

monotonicity
calculate_totalreserve_pages() currently finds the maximum
lowmem_reserve[j] for a zone by scanning the full forward range [j =
zone_idx .. MAX_NR_ZONES). However, for a given zone i, the
lowmem_reserve[j] array (for j > i) is naturally expected to form a
monotonically non-decreasing sequence in j, not as an implementation
detail, but as a consequence that naturally arises from the semantics of
lowmem_reserve[].
For zone "i", lowmem_reserve[j] expresses how many pages in zone i must
effectively be kept in reserve when deciding whether an allocation class
that may allocate from zones up to j is allowed to fall back into i. It
protects less flexible allocation classes (which cannot use higher zones)
from being starved by more flexible ones.
Viewed from this semantics, it is natural to expect a partial ordering in
j: as j increases, the allocation class gains access to a strictly larger
set of fallback zones. Therefore lowmem_reserve[j] is expected to be
monotonically non-decreasing in j: more flexible allocation classes must
not be allowed to deplete low zones more aggressively than less flexible
ones.
In other words, if lowmem_reserve[j] were ever observed to *decrease* as j
grows, that would be unexpected from the reserve semantics' point of view
and would likely indicate a semantic change or a misconfiguration.
The current implementation in setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() reflects
this policy by accumulating managed pages from higher zones and applying
the configured ratio, which results in a non-decreasing sequence. This
patch makes calculate_totalreserve_pages() rely on that monotonicity
explicitly and finds the maximum reserve value by scanning backward and
stopping at the first non-zero entry. This avoids unnecessary iteration
and reflects the conceptual model more directly. No functional behavior
changes.
To maintain this assumption explicitly, a comment is added next to
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() documenting the monotonicity expectation
and noting that calculate_totalreserve_pages() relies on it.

Currently kernel dumps memory state on oom and allocation failures. One
of the question usually raised on those dumps is why the kernel has not
reclaimed the reclaimable memory instead of triggering oom. One potential
reason is the usage of memory protection provided by memcg. So, let's
also dump the memory protected by the memcg in such reports to ease the
debugging.

The recent fix to properly initialize the tags of the huge zero folio
had an unfortunate not-so-subtle side effect: it caused the actual
*contents* of the huge zero folio to not be initialized at all when the
hardware didn't support the memory tagging.
The reason was the unfortunate semantics of tag_clear_highpage(): on
hardware that didn't do the tagging, it would silently just not do
anything at all. And since this is done only on arm64 with MTE support,
that basically meant most hardware.
It wasn't necessarily immediately obvious since the huge zero page isn't
necessarily very heavily used - or because it might already be zero
because all-zeroes is the most common pattern. But it ends up causing
random odd user space failures when you do hit it.
The unfortunate semantics have been around for a while, but became a
real bug only when we started actively using __GFP_ZEROTAGS in the
generic get_huge_zero_folio() function - before that, it had only ever
been used in code that checked that the hardware supported it.
Fix this by simply changing the semantics of tag_clear_highpage() to
return whether it actually successfully did something or not. While at
it, also make it initialize multiple pages in one go, since that's
actually what the only caller wants it to do and it simplifies the whole
logic.

Filesystems use __GFP_NOFAIL to allocate block-sized folios for metadata
reads at critical points, since they cannot afford to go read-only, shut
down, or enter an inconsistent state due to memory pressure.
Currently, attempting to allocate page units greater than order-1 with the
__GFP_NOFAIL flag triggers a WARN_ON() in __alloc_pages_slowpath().
However, filesystems supporting large block sizes (blocksize > PAGE_SIZE)
can easily require allocations larger than order-1.
As Matthew Wilcox noted in [1], if we have a filesystem with 64KiB
sectors, there will be many clean folios in the page cache that are 64KiB
or larger. He also explained in [2] why kvmalloc isn't a valid approach
here.
With gfp flags and order already included in the OOM report, both
Vlastimil Babka and Michal Hocko suggested that we can take the risk of
removing this warning first and then observe whether a large number of
related OOM reports appear.
If that happens, we can consider adding special handling in other places.

The pcp locking relies on pcp_spin_trylock() which has to be used together
with pcp_trylock_prepare()/pcp_trylock_finish() to work properly on !SMP
!RT configs. This is tedious and error-prone.
We can remove pcp_spin_lock() and underlying pcpu_spin_lock() because we
don't use it. Afterwards pcp_spin_unlock() is only used together with
pcp_spin_trylock(). Therefore we can add the UP_flags parameter to them
both and handle pcp_trylock_prepare()/finish() within.
Additionally for the configs where pcp_trylock_prepare()/finish() are
no-op (SMP || RT) make them pass &UP_flags to a no-op inline function.
This ensures typechecking and makes the local variable "used" so we can
remove the __maybe_unused attributes.
In my compile testing, bloat-o-meter reported no change on SMP config, so
the compiler is capable of optimizing away the no-ops same as before, and
we have simplified the code using pcp_spin_trylock().

Before returning, free_frozen_page_commit calls free_pcppages_bulk using
nr_pcp_free to determine how many pages can appropritately be freed, based
on the tunable parameters stored in pcp. While this number is an accurate
representation of how many pages should be freed in total, it is not an
appropriate number of pages to free at once using free_pcppages_bulk,
since we have seen the value consistently go above 2000 in the Meta fleet
on larger machines.
As such, perform batched page freeing in free_pcppages_bulk by using
pcp->batch. In order to ensure that other processes are not starved of
the zone lock, free both the zone lock and pcp lock to yield to other
threads.
Note that because free_frozen_page_commit now performs a spinlock inside
the function (and can fail), the function may now return with a freed pcp.
To handle this, return true if the pcp is locked on exit and false
otherwise.
In addition, since free_frozen_page_commit must now be aware of what UP
flags were stored at the time of the spin lock, and because we must be
able to report new UP flags to the callers, add a new unsigned long*
parameter UP_flags to keep track of this.

first is a large machine with 754GiB memory and 316 processors. The

It is possible for pcp->count - pcp->high to exceed pcp->batch by a lot.
When this happens, we should perform batching to ensure that
free_pcppages_bulk isn't called with too many pages to free at once and
starve out other threads that need the pcp or zone lock.
Since we are still only freeing the difference between the initial
pcp->count and pcp->high values, there should be no change to how many
pages are freed.

Patch series "mm/page_alloc: Batch callers of free_pcppages_bulk", v5.
Motivation & Approach
=====================
While testing workloads with high sustained memory pressure on large
machines in the Meta fleet (1Tb memory, 316 CPUs), we saw an unexpectedly
high number of softlockups. Further investigation showed that the zone
lock in free_pcppages_bulk was being held for a long time, and was called
to free 2k+ pages over 100 times just during boot.
This causes starvation in other processes for the zone lock, which can
lead to the system stalling as multiple threads cannot make progress
without the locks. We can see these issues manifesting as warnings:
[ 4512.591979] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
[ 4512.604370] rcu: 20-....: (9312 ticks this GP) idle=a654/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=309340/309344 fqs=5426
[ 4512.626401] rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system
[ 4512.638793] rcu: number: 0 145 0
[ 4512.651177] rcu: cputime: 30 10410 174 ==> 10558(ms)
[ 4512.666657] rcu: (t=21077 jiffies g=783665 q=1242213 ncpus=316)
While these warnings don't indicate a crash or a kernel panic, they do
point to the underlying issue of lock contention. To prevent starvation
in both locks, batch the freeing of pages using pcp->batch.
Because free_pcppages_bulk is called with the pcp lock and acquires the
zone lock, relinquishing and reacquiring the locks are only effective when
both of them are broken together (unless the system was built with queued
spinlocks). Thus, instead of modifying free_pcppages_bulk to break both
locks, batch the freeing from its callers instead.
A similar fix has been implemented in the Meta fleet, and we have seen
significantly less softlockups.
Testing

The following are a few synthetic benchmarks, made on three machines. The
first is a large machine with 754GiB memory and 316 processors.
The second is a relatively smaller machine with 251GiB memory and 176
processors. The third and final is the smallest of the three, which has 62GiB
memory and 36 processors.

Here, variation is the coefficient of variation, i.e. standard deviation
/ mean.
Based on these results, it seems like there are varying degrees to how
much lock contention this reduces. For the largest and smallest machines
that I ran the tests on, it seems like there is quite some significant
reduction. There is also some performance increases visible from
userspace.
Interestingly, the performance gains don't scale with the size of the
machine, but rather there seems to be a dip in the gain there is for the
medium-sized machine. One possible theory is that because the high
watermark depends on both memory and the number of local CPUs, what
impacts zone contention the most is not these individual values, but
rather the ratio of mem:processors.
This patch (of 5):
Currently, refresh_cpu_vm_stats returns an int, indicating how many
changes were made during its updates. Using this information, callers
like vmstat_update can heuristically determine if more work will be done
in the future.
However, all of refresh_cpu_vm_stats's callers either (a) ignore the
result, only caring about performing the updates, or (b) only care about
whether changes were made, but not *how many* changes were made.
Simplify the code by returning a bool instead to indicate if updates
were made.
In addition, simplify fold_diff and decay_pcp_high to return a bool
for the same reason.

zone_batchsize returns the appropriate value that should be used for
pcp->batch. If it finds a zone with less than 4096 pages or PAGE_SIZE >
1M, however, it leads to some incorrect math.
In the above case, we will get an intermediary value of 1, which is then
rounded down to the nearest power of two, and 1 is subtracted from it.
Since 1 is already a power of two, we will get batch = 1-1 = 0:
batch = rounddown_pow_of_two(batch + batch/2) - 1;
A pcp->batch value of 0 is nonsensical. If this were actually set, then
functions like drain_zone_pages would become no-ops, since they could
only free 0 pages at a time.
Of the two callers of zone_batchsize, the one that is actually used to
set pcp->batch works around this by setting pcp->batch to the maximum
of 1 and zone_batchsize. However, the other caller, zone_pcp_init,
incorrectly prints out the batch size of the zone to be 0.
This is probably rare in a typical zone, but the DMA zone can often have
less than 4096 pages, which means it will print out "LIFO batch:0".
Before: [ 0.001216] DMA zone: 3998 pages, LIFO batch:0
After: [ 0.001210] DMA zone: 3998 pages, LIFO batch:1
Instead of dealing with the error handling and the mismatch between the
reported and actual zone batchsize, just return 1 if the zone_batchsize
is 1 page or less before the rounding.

Patch series "mm/page_alloc: pcp->batch cleanups", v2.
Two small cleanups for mm/page_alloc.
Patch 1 cleans up a misleading comment about how pcp->batch is calculated,
and folds in the calculation to increase clarity. No functional change
intended.
Patch 2 corrects zones from reporting that their pcp->batch is 0 when it
is actually 1. Namely, corrects ZONE_DMA from reporting that its batch
size is 0.
This patch (of 2):
Recently while working on another patch about batching free_pcppages_bulk
[1], I was curious why pcp->batch was always 63 on my machine. This led
me to zone_batchsize(), where I found this set of lines to determine what
the batch size should be for the host:
batch = min(zone_managed_pages(zone) >> 10, SZ_1M / PAGE_SIZE);
batch /= 4; /* We effectively *= 4 below */
if (batch < 1)
batch = 1;
All of this is good, except the comment above which says "We effectively
*= 4 below". Nowhere else in the function zone_batchsize(), is there a
corresponding multipliation by 4. Looking into the history of this, it
seems like Dave Hansen had also noticed this back in 2013 [1]. Turns out
there *used* to be a corresponding *= 4, which was turned into a *= 6
later on to be used in pageset_setup_from_batch_size(), which no longer
exists.
Despite this mismatch not being corrected in the comments, it seems that
getting rid of the /= 4 leads to a performance regression on machines with
less than 250G memory and 176 processors. As such, let us preserve the
functionality but clean up the comments.
Fold the /= 4 into the calculation above: bitshift by 10+2=12, and instead
of dividing 1MB, divide 256KB and adjust the comments accordingly. No
functional change intended.

On NUMA systems without bindings, allocations check all nodes for free
space, then wake up the kswapds on all nodes and retry. This ensures
all available space is evenly used before reclaim begins. However,
when one process or certain allocations have node restrictions, they
can cause kswapds on only a subset of nodes to be woken up.
Since kswapd hysteresis targets watermarks that are *higher* than
needed for allocation, even *unrestricted* allocations can now get
suckered onto such nodes that are already pressured. This ends up
concentrating all allocations on them, even when there are idle nodes
available for the unrestricted requests.
This was observed with two numa nodes, where node0 is normal and node1
is ZONE_MOVABLE to facilitate hotplugging: a kernel allocation wakes
kswapd on node0 only (since node1 is not eligible); once kswapd0 is
active, the watermarks hover between low and high, and then even the
movable allocations end up on node0, only to be kicked out again;
meanwhile node1 is empty and idle.
Similar behavior is possible when a process with NUMA bindings is
causing selective kswapd wakeups.
To fix this, on NUMA systems augment the (misleading) watermark test
with a check for whether kswapd is already active during the first
iteration through the zonelist. If this fails to place the request,
kswapd must be running everywhere already, and the watermark test is
good enough to decide placement.
With this patch, unrestricted requests successfully make use of node1,
even while kswapd is reclaiming node0 for restricted allocations.

When freeing "tail" pages of a non-compount high-order page, we properly
subtract the allocation tag counters, however later when these pages are
released, alloc_tag_sub() will issue warnings because tags for these pages
are NULL.
This issue was originally anticipated by Vlastimil in his review [1] and
then recently reported by David. Prevent warnings by marking the tags
empty.

If kswapd fails to reclaim pages from a node MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES in a
row, kswapd on that node gets disabled. That is, the system won't wakeup
kswapd for that node until page reclamation is observed at least once.
That reclamation is mostly done by direct reclaim, which in turn enables
kswapd back.
However, on systems with CXL memory nodes, workloads with high anon page
usage can disable kswapd indefinitely, without triggering direct
reclaim. This can be reproduced with following steps:
numa node 0 (32GB memory, 48 CPUs)
numa node 2~5 (512GB CXL memory, 128GB each)
(numa node 1 is disabled)
swap space 8GB
1) Set /sys/kernel/mm/demotion_enabled to 0.
2) Set /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing to 0.
3) Run a process that allocates and random accesses 500GB of anon
pages.
4) Let the process exit normally.
During 3), free memory on node 0 gets lower than low watermark, and
kswapd runs and depletes swap space. Then, kswapd fails consecutively
and gets disabled. Allocation afterwards happens on CXL memory, so node
0 never gains more memory pressure to trigger direct reclaim.
After 4), kswapd on node 0 remains disabled, and tasks running on that
node are unable to swap. If you turn on NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
and demotion now, it won't work properly since kswapd is disabled.
To mitigate this problem, reset kswapd_failures to 0 on following
conditions:
a) ZONE_BELOW_HIGH bit of a zone in hopeless node with a fallback
memory node gets cleared.
b) demotion_enabled is changed from false to true.
Rationale for a):
ZONE_BELOW_HIGH bit being cleared might be a sign that the node may
be reclaimable afterwards. This won't help much if the memory-hungry
process keeps running without freeing anything, but at least the node
will go back to reclaimable state when the process exits.
Rationale for b):
When demotion_enabled is false, kswapd can only reclaim anon pages by
swapping them out to swap space. If demotion_enabled is turned on,
kswapd can demote anon pages to another node for reclaiming. So, the
original failure count for determining reclaimability is no longer
valid.
Since kswapd_failures resets may be missed by ++ operation, it is
changed from int to atomic_t.

find_large_buddy() search buddy based on start_pfn, which maybe different
from page's pfn, e.g. when page is not pageblock aligned, because
prep_move_freepages_block() always align start_pfn to pageblock.
This means when we found a starting block at start_pfn, it may check on
the wrong page theoretically. And not split the free page as it is
supposed to, causing a freelist migratetype mismatch.
The good news is the page passed to __move_freepages_block_isolate() has
only two possible cases:
* page is pageblock aligned
* page is __first_valid_page() of this block
So it is safe for the first case, and it won't get a buddy larger than
pageblock for the second case.
To fix the issue, check the returned pfn of find_large_buddy() to decide
whether to split the free page:
1. if it is not a PageBuddy pfn, no split;
2. if it is a PageBuddy pfn but order <= pageblock_order, no split;
3. if it is a PageBuddy pfn with order > pageblock_order, start_pfn is
either in the starting block or tail block, split the PageBuddy at
pageblock_order level.

Patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse", v3.
free_pages() is supposed to be called when we only have a virtual address.
__free_pages() is supposed to be called when we have a page.
There are a number of callers that use page_address() to get a page's
virtual address then call free_pages() on it when they should just call
__free_pages() directly.
Add kernel-docs for free_pages() to help callers better understand which
function they should be calling, and replace the obvious cases of misuse.
This patch (of 7):
Add kernel-docs to free_pages(). This will help callers understand when
to use it instead of __free_pages().

alloc_contig_range_noprof()
Let's reject them early, which in turn makes folio_alloc_gigantic() reject
them properly.
To avoid converting from order to nr_pages, let's just add MAX_FOLIO_ORDER
and calculate MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES based on that.
While at it, let's just make the order a "const unsigned order".

We iterate pfn from order 0 to MAX_PAGE_ORDER aligned to find large buddy.
While if the order is less than start_pfn aligned order, we would get the
same pfn and do the same check again.
Iterate from start_pfn aligned order to reduce duplicated work.

enum pageblock_bits defines the meaning of pageblock bits. Currently
PB_migratetype_bits says the lowest 3 bits represents migratetype and
PB_migrate_end/MIGRATETYPE_MASK's definition rely on it with magical
computation.
Remove the definition of PB_migratetype_bits/PB_migrate_end. Use
PB_migrate_[0|1|2] to represent lowest bits for migratetype. Then we can
simplify related definition.
Also, MIGRATETYPE_AND_ISO_MASK is MIGRATETYPE_MASK add isolation bit. Use
MIGRATETYPE_MASK in the definition of MIGRATETYPE_AND_ISO_MASK looks
cleaner.
No functional change intended.
