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.

Patch series "mm/hotplug: Only use subsection map for VMEMMAP", v4.
Memory sub-section hotplug was added to fix the issue that nvdimm could be
mapped at non-section aligned starting address. A subsection map is added
into struct mem_section_usage to implement it.
However, config ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. It means
subsection map only makes sense when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled. For the
classic sparse, subsection map is meaningless and confusing.
About the classic sparse which doesn't support subsection hotplug, Dan
said it's more because the effort and maintenance burden outweighs the

This patch (of 5):
Factor out the code that fills the subsection map from section_activate()
into fill_subsection_map(), this makes section_activate() cleaner and
easier to follow.

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
test_bit(idx, ms->usage->subsection_map);
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.

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.

sparsemem without VMEMMAP has two allocation paths to allocate the
memory needed for its memmap (done in sparse_mem_map_populate()).
In one allocation path (sparse_buffer_alloc() succeeds), the memory is
not zeroed (since it was previously allocated with
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw()).
In the other allocation path (sparse_buffer_alloc() fails and
sparse_mem_map_populate() falls back to memblock_alloc_try_nid()), the
memory is zeroed.
AFAICS this difference does not appear to be on purpose. If the code is
supposed to work with non-initialized memory (__init_single_page() takes
care of zeroing the struct pages which are actually used), we should
consistently not zero the memory, to avoid masking bugs.
( 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. )

sparse_buffer_alloc(xsize) gets the size of memory from sparsemap_buf
after being aligned with the size. However, the size is at least
PAGE_ALIGN(sizeof(struct page) * PAGES_PER_SECTION) and usually larger
than PAGE_SIZE.
Also, sparse_buffer_fini() only frees memory between sparsemap_buf and
sparsemap_buf_end, since sparsemap_buf may be changed by PTR_ALIGN()
first, the aligned space before sparsemap_buf is wasted and no one will
touch it.

It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

Prepare for hot{plug,remove} of sub-ranges of a section by tracking a
sub-section active bitmask, each bit representing a PMD_SIZE span of the
architecture's memory hotplug section size.
The implications of a partially populated section is that pfn_valid()
needs to go beyond a valid_section() check and either determine that the
section is an "early section", or read the sub-section active ranges
from the bitmask. The expectation is that the bitmask (subsection_map)
fits in the same cacheline as the valid_section() / early_section()
data, so the incremental performance overhead to pfn_valid() should be
negligible.
The rationale for using early_section() to short-ciruit the
subsection_map check is that there are legacy code paths that use
pfn_valid() at section granularity before validating the pfn against
pgdat data. So, the early_section() check allows those traditional
assumptions to persist while also permitting subsection_map to tell the
truth for purposes of populating the unused portions of early sections
with PMEM and other ZONE_DEVICE mappings.

Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support", v10.
The memory hotplug section is an arbitrary / convenient unit for memory
hotplug. 'Section-size' units have bled into the user interface
('memblock' sysfs) and can not be changed without breaking existing
userspace. The section-size constraint, while mostly benign for typical
memory hotplug, has and continues to wreak havoc with 'device-memory'
use cases, persistent memory (pmem) in particular. Recall that pmem
uses devm_memremap_pages(), and subsequently arch_add_memory(), to
allocate a 'struct page' memmap for pmem. However, it does not use the
'bottom half' of memory hotplug, i.e. never marks pmem pages online and
never exposes the userspace memblock interface for pmem. This leaves an
opening to redress the section-size constraint.
To date, the libnvdimm subsystem has attempted to inject padding to
satisfy the internal constraints of arch_add_memory(). Beyond
complicating the code, leading to bugs [2], wasting memory, and limiting
configuration flexibility, the padding hack is broken when the platform
changes this physical memory alignment of pmem from one boot to the
next. Device failure (intermittent or permanent) and physical
reconfiguration are events that can cause the platform firmware to
change the physical placement of pmem on a subsequent boot, and device
failure is an everyday event in a data-center.
It turns out that sections are only a hard requirement of the
user-facing interface for memory hotplug and with a bit more
infrastructure sub-section arch_add_memory() support can be added for
kernel internal usages like devm_memremap_pages(). Here is an analysis
of the current design assumptions in the current code and how they are
addressed in the new implementation:
Current design assumptions:
- Sections that describe boot memory (early sections) are never
unplugged / removed.
- pfn_valid(), in the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y, case devolves to a
valid_section() check
- __add_pages() and helper routines assume all operations occur in
PAGES_PER_SECTION units.
- The memblock sysfs interface only comprehends full sections
New design assumptions:
- Sections are instrumented with a sub-section bitmask to track (on
x86) individual 2MB sub-divisions of a 128MB section.
- Partially populated early sections can be extended with additional
sub-sections, and those sub-sections can be removed with
arch_remove_memory(). With this in place we no longer lose usable
memory capacity to padding.
- pfn_valid() is updated to look deeper than valid_section() to also
check the active-sub-section mask. This indication is in the same
cacheline as the valid_section() so the performance impact is
expected to be negligible. So far the lkp robot has not reported any
regressions.
- Outside of the core vmemmap population routines which are replaced,
other helper routines like shrink_{zone,pgdat}_span() are updated to
handle the smaller granularity. Core memory hotplug routines that
deal with online memory are not touched.
- The existing memblock sysfs user api guarantees / assumptions are not
touched since this capability is limited to !online
!memblock-sysfs-accessible sections.
Meanwhile the issue reports continue to roll in from users that do not
understand when and how the 128MB constraint will bite them. The current
implementation relied on being able to support at least one misaligned
namespace, but that immediately falls over on any moderately complex
namespace creation attempt. Beyond the initial problem of 'System RAM'
colliding with pmem, and the unsolvable problem of physical alignment
changes, Linux is now being exposed to platforms that collide pmem ranges
with other pmem ranges by default [3]. In short, devm_memremap_pages()
has pushed the venerable section-size constraint past the breaking point,
and the simplicity of section-aligned arch_add_memory() is no longer
tenable.
These patches are exposed to the kbuild robot on a subsection-v10 branch
[4], and a preview of the unit test for this functionality is available
on the 'subsection-pending' branch of ndctl [5].

This patch (of 13):
Towards enabling memory hotplug to track partial population of a section,
introduce 'struct mem_section_usage'.
A pointer to a 'struct mem_section_usage' instance replaces the existing
pointer to a 'pageblock_flags' bitmap. Effectively it adds one more
'unsigned long' beyond the 'pageblock_flags' (usemap) allocation to house
a new 'subsection_map' bitmap. The new bitmap enables the memory
hot{plug,remove} implementation to act on incremental sub-divisions of a
section.
SUBSECTION_SHIFT is defined as global constant instead of per-architecture
value like SECTION_SIZE_BITS in order to allow cross-arch compatibility of
subsection users. Specifically a common subsection size allows for the
possibility that persistent memory namespace configurations be made
compatible across architectures.
The primary motivation for this functionality is to support platforms that
mix "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" within a single section, or
multiple PMEM ranges with different mapping lifetimes within a single
section. The section restriction for hotplug has caused an ongoing saga
of hacks and bugs for devm_memremap_pages() users.
Beyond the fixups to teach existing paths how to retrieve the 'usemap'
from a section, and updates to usemap allocation path, there are no
expected behavior changes.

Commit f1dd2cd13c ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded
memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which
calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block.
memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to
be MOVABLE.
However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range()
after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing. Due to commit
2ce13640b3 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed
__first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range()
here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while
doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as
offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within
the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections().
Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it
reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE. Those pages
will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining. The only thing
left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter
which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above
commit introduced.
Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages
on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of
pageblocks there. Fix an incorrect comment along the way.

pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect pgdat's memory region information
like: node_start_pfn, node_present_pages, etc. While in function
sparse_add/remove_one_section(), pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect
initialization/release of one mem_section. This looks not proper.
These code paths are currently protected by mem_hotplug_lock currently but
should there ever be any reason for locking at the sparse layer a
dedicated lock should be introduced.
Following is the current call trace of sparse_add/remove_one_section()
mem_hotplug_begin()
arch_add_memory()
add_pages()
__add_pages()
__add_section()
sparse_add_one_section()
mem_hotplug_done()
mem_hotplug_begin()
arch_remove_memory()
__remove_pages()
__remove_section()
sparse_remove_one_section()

The comment above the pgdat_resize_lock also mentions "Holding this will
also guarantee that any pfn_valid() stays that way.", which is true with
the current implementation and false after this patch. But current
implementation doesn't meet this comment. There isn't any pfn walkers to
take the lock so this looks like a relict from the past. This patch also
removes this comment.

When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.
Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise. Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.
Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.
For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g. like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.
The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below:

Patch series "Address issues slowing persistent memory initialization", v5.
The main thing this patch set achieves is that it allows us to initialize
each node worth of persistent memory independently. As a result we reduce
page init time by about 2 minutes because instead of taking 30 to 40
seconds per node and going through each node one at a time, we process all
4 nodes in parallel in the case of a 12TB persistent memory setup spread
evenly over 4 nodes.
This patch (of 3):
On systems with a large amount of memory it can take a significant amount
of time to initialize all of the page structs with the PAGE_POISON_PATTERN
value. I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with
over 12TB of RAM.
In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and
then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the
arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in
doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system.
In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled
on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel
parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.
