[ Upstream commit 0d3bd18a5efd66097ef58622b898d3139790aa9d ]
In case cma_init_reserved_mem failed, need to free the memblock
allocated by memblock_reserve or memblock_alloc_range.Quote Catalin's comments:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/26/482Kmemleak is supposed to work with the memblock_{alloc,free} pair and it
ignores the memblock_reserve() as a memblock_alloc() implementation
detail. It is, however, tolerant to memblock_free() being called on
a sub-range or just a different range from a previous memblock_alloc().
So the original patch looks fine to me. FWIW:Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190227144631.16708-1-peng.fan@nxp.com

cma_alloc() doesn't really support gfp flags other than __GFP_NOWARN, so
convert gfp_mask parameter to boolean no_warn parameter.This will help to avoid giving false feeling that this function supports
standard gfp flags and callers can pass __GFP_ZERO to get zeroed buffer,
what has already been an issue: see commit dd65a941f6ba ("arm64:
dma-mapping: clear buffers allocated with FORCE_CONTIGUOUS flag").Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180709122019eucas1p2340da484acfcc932537e6014f4fd2c29~-sqTPJKij2939229392eucas1p2j@eucas1p2.samsung.com

Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.0. History
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed.1. What does this patch do?
This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.2. Motivation
There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.o CMA memory utilization
First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepageFreepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.Useless reclaim:
There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.Atomic allocation failure:
This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0
It was reported by Aneesh [3].
Useless compaction:
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.3. Current approach and new approach
Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file
cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is
pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all.4. Result

from slab.h and add to any users of kmemleak_* that
don't already #include it. Also remove from source
files that do not use it.This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig. It would
be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes. I have
neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other $ARCHes.Update: This patch has been extensively build-tested by both the 0day
bot & kisskb/ozlabs build farms. Both of them reported 2 build failures
for which patches are included here (in v2).[ slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h is
right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the
counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I didn't
combine all of those. ][akpm@linux-foundation.org: security/keys/big_key.c needs vmalloc.h, per sfr]

It was observed that under cma_alloc fail log, pr_info was used instead
of pr_err. This will lead to problems if printk debug level is set to
below 7. In this case the cma_alloc failure log will not be captured in
the log and it will be difficult to debug.Simply replace the pr_info with pr_err to capture failure log.

cma_alloc() unconditionally prints an INFO message when the CMA
allocation fails. Make this message conditional on the non-presence of
__GFP_NOWARN in gfp_mask.This patch aims at removing INFO messages that are displayed when the
VC4 driver tries to allocate buffer objects. From the driver
perspective an allocation failure is acceptable, and the driver can
possibly do something to make following allocation succeed (like
flushing the VC4 internal cache).Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171004125447.15195-1-boris.brezillon@free-electrons.com

The align_offset parameter is used by bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off()
to represent the offset of map's base from the previous alignment
boundary; the function ensures that the returned index, plus the
align_offset, honors the specified align_mask.The logic introduced by commit b5be83e308f7 ("mm: cma: align to physical
address, not CMA region position") has the cma driver calculate the
offset to the *next* alignment boundary. In most cases, the base
alignment is greater than that specified when making allocations,
resulting in a zero offset whether we align up or down. In the example
given with the commit, the base alignment (8MB) was half the requested
alignment (16MB) so the math also happened to work since the offset is
8MB in both directions. However, when requesting allocations with an
alignment greater than twice that of the base, the returned index would
not be correctly aligned.Also, the align_order arguments of cma_bitmap_aligned_mask() and
cma_bitmap_aligned_offset() should not be negative so the argument type
was made unsigned.Fixes: b5be83e308f7 ("mm: cma: align to physical address, not CMA region position")

While activating a CMA area we check to make sure that all the PFNs in
the range are inside the same zone. This is a requirement for
alloc_contig_range() to work. Any CMA area failing the check is
disabled for good. This happens silently right now making all future
cma_alloc() allocations failure inevitable.Here we add an error message stating that the CMA area could not be
activated which makes it easier to explain any future cma_alloc()
failures on it. While in there, change the bail out goto label from
'err' to 'not_in_zone' which makes more sense.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170605023729.26303-1-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com

There are many reasons of CMA allocation failure such as EBUSY, ENOMEM,
EINTR. But we did not know error reason so far. This patch prints the
error value.Additionally if CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, this patch shows bitmap
status to know available pages. Actually CMA internally tries on all
available regions because some regions can be failed because of EBUSY.
Bitmap status is useful to know in detail on both ENONEM and EBUSY;ENOMEM: not tried at all because of no available region
it could be too small total region or could be fragmentation issue
EBUSY: tried some region but all failedThis is an ENOMEM example with this patch.
[2: Binder:714_1: 744] cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 256 pages, ret: -12
If CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, avabile pages also will be shown as
concatenated size@position format. So 4@572 means that there are 4
available pages at 572 position starting from 0 position.[2: Binder:714_1: 744] cma: number of available pages: 4@572+7@585+7@601+8@632+38@730+166@1114+127@1921=> 357 free of 2048 total pages

Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should be done
with the default GFP_KERNEL flags. This is probably right for all
current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more
use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some
platforms).Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask
set by upper layers.Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the
passed in flags.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170127172328.18574-1-l.stach@pengutronix.de

Rather than add an explosion of arches to the #ifdef, switch to an
alternate method to calculate the physical start of highmem using
the page before highmem starts. This avoids the need for the #ifdef and

CMA allocation request size is represented by size_t that gets truncated
when same is passed as int to bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off.We observe that during fuzz testing when cma allocation request is too
high, bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off still returns success due to the
truncation. This leads to kernel crash, as subsequent code assumes that
requested memory is available.Fail cma allocation in case the request breaches the corresponding cma

Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical
addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the
corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:kmemleak_alloc_phys
kmemleak_free_part_phys
kmemleak_not_leak_phys
kmemleak_ignore_physThe affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
API.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1471531432-16503-1-git-send-email-catalin.marinas@arm.com

Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.

Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applicationsGen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
Pro: Keep more of the capacity
Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performanceGen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
controller
Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
Con: I have to write memory management code to implementThe current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
allocations2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
page_alloc.c is scary).This patch (of 3):

I've noticed that there is no interfaces exposed by CMA which would let me
fuzz what's going on in there.This small patchset exposes some information out to userspace, plus adds
the ability to trigger allocation and freeing from userspace.This patch (of 3):

The CMA aligned offset calculation is incorrect for non-zero order_per_bit
values.For example, if cma->order_per_bit=1, cma->base_pfn= 0x2f800000 and
align_order=12, the function returns a value of 0x17c00 instead of 0x400.This patch fixes the CMA aligned offset calculation.
The previous calculation was wrong and would return too-large values for
the offset, so that when cma_alloc looks for free pages in the bitmap with
the requested alignment > order_per_bit, it starts too far into the bitmap
and so CMA allocations will fail despite there actually being plenty of
free pages remaining. It will also probably have the wrong alignment.
With this change, we will get the correct offset into the bitmap.One affected user is powerpc KVM, which has kvm_cma->order_per_bit set to
KVM_CMA_CHUNK_ORDER - PAGE_SHIFT, or 18 - 12 = 6.[gregory.0xf0@gmail.com: changelog additions]

When the system boots up, in the dmesg logs we can see the memory
statistics along with total reserved as below. Memory: 458840k/458840k
available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmemWhen CMA is enabled, still the total reserved memory remains the same.
However, the CMA memory is not considered as reserved. But, when we see
/proc/meminfo, the CMA memory is part of free memory. This creates
confusion. This patch corrects the problem by properly subtracting the
CMA reserved memory from the total reserved memory in dmesg logs.Below is the dmesg snapshot from an arm based device with 512MB RAM and
12MB single CMA region.Before this change:
Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmemAfter this change:

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool. The memory allocated
for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
other allocated objects. This only works for memory that is mapped into
the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
most CMA regions.Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem. Perhaps a more
appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
virtual address?[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add comment]

The alignment in cma_alloc() was done w.r.t. the bitmap. This is a
problem when, for example:- a device requires 16M (order 12) alignment
- the CMA region is not 16 M alignedIn such a case, can result with the CMA region starting at, say,
0x2f800000 but any allocation you make from there will be aligned from
there. Requesting an allocation of 32 M with 16 M alignment will result
in an allocation from 0x2f800000 to 0x31800000, which doesn't work very
well if your strange device requires 16M alignment.Change to use bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() to account for the
difference in alignment at reserve-time and alloc-time.Signed-off-by: Gregory Fong

Commit 95b0e655f914 ("ARM: mm: don't limit default CMA region only to
low memory") extended CMA memory reservation to allow usage of high
memory. It relied on commit f7426b983a6a ("mm: cma: adjust address limit
to avoid hitting low/high memory boundary") to ensure that the reserved
block never crossed the low/high memory boundary. While the
implementation correctly lowered the limit, it failed to consider the
case where the base..limit range crossed the low/high memory boundary
with enough space on each side to reserve the requested size on either
low or high memory.Rework the base and limit adjustment to fix the problem. The function
now starts by rejecting the reservation altogether for fixed
reservations that cross the boundary, tries to reserve from high memory
first and then falls back to low memory.Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart

The fixed parameter to cma_declare_contiguous() tells the function
whether the given base address must be honoured or should be considered
as a hint only. The API considers a zero base address as meaning any
base address, which must never be considered as a fixed value.Part of the implementation correctly checks both fixed and base != 0,
but two locations check the fixed value only. Set fixed to false when
base is 0 to fix that and simplify the code.Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart

The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could
cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align
order is larger than cma->order_per_bit.Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to
6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as
the expected align value. After using the current implementation however,
we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511.This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

Russell King recently noticed that limiting default CMA region only to low
memory on ARM architecture causes serious memory management issues with
machines having a lot of memory (which is mainly available as high
memory). More information can be found the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/348441/Those two patches removes this limit letting kernel to put default CMA
region into high memory when this is possible (there is enough high memory
available and architecture specific DMA limit fits).This should solve strange OOM issues on systems with lots of RAM (i.e.
>1GiB) and large (>256M) CMA area.This patch (of 2):
Automatically allocated regions should not cross low/high memory boundary,
because such regions cannot be later correctly initialized due to spanning
across two memory zones. This patch adds a check for this case and a
simple code for moving region to low memory if automatically selected
address might not fit completely into high memory.Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski
