Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of
bootmem allocator. No functional change in beahvior than what it is in
current code from bootmem users points of view.Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock
interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock. And
the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to
exiting bootmem APIs.Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar

We pass the number of pages which hold page structs of a memory section
to free_map_bootmem(). This is right when !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP but
wrong when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we
should pass the number of pages of a memory section to free_map_bootmem.So the fix is removing the nr_pages parameter. When
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we directly use the prefined marco
PAGES_PER_SECTION in free_map_bootmem. When !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
we calculate page numbers needed to hold the page structs for a memory
section and use the value in free_map_bootmem().This was found by reading the code. And I have no machine that support
memory hot-remove to test the bug now.Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanfei

For below functions,
- sparse_add_one_section()
- kmalloc_section_memmap()
- __kmalloc_section_memmap()
- __kfree_section_memmap()they are always invoked to operate on one memory section, so it is
redundant to always pass a nr_pages parameter, which is the page numbers
in one section. So we can directly use predefined macro PAGES_PER_SECTION
instead of passing the parameter.Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanfei

After commit 9bdac9142407 ("sparsemem: Put mem map for one node
together."), vmemmap for one node will be allocated together, its logic
is similar as memory allocation for pageblock flags. This patch
introduces alloc_usemap_and_memmap to extract the same logic of memory
alloction for pageblock flags and vmemmap.Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li

With CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE unset, there is a compile warning:
mm/sparse.c:755: warning: `clear_hwpoisoned_pages' defined but not used
And Bisecting it ended up pointing to 4edd7ceff ("mm, hotplug: avoid
compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled").This is because the commit above put sparse_remove_one_section() within
the protection of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE but the only user of
clear_hwpoisoned_pages() is sparse_remove_one_section(), and it is not
within the protection of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.So put clear_hwpoisoned_pages within CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE should fix
the warning.Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanfei

Instead of leaving a hidden trap for the next person who comes along and
wants to add something to mem_section, add a big fat warning about it
needing to be a power-of-2, and insert a BUILD_BUG_ON() in sparse_init()
to catch mistakes.Right now non-power-of-2 mem_sections cause a number of WARNs at boot
(which don't clearly point to the size of mem_section as an issue), but
the system limps on (temporarily, at least).This is based upon Dave Hansen's earlier RFC where he ran into the same
issue:
"sparsemem: fix boot when SECTIONS_PER_ROOT is not power-of-2"

__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. PowerPC
pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported.Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also
become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in
most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86). remove_memory_block()
becomes static since it is not referenced outside of
drivers/base/memory.c.Build tested on x86 and powerpc with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE both enabled

The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap,
specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages.This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code
actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always
translates it to bytes first.In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for
the vmemmap. For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages()
on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind. But these
are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit
is too coarse.Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse
code, then pass byte ranges down the stack.Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner

usemap could also be allocated as compound pages. Should also consider

not be freed properly, and when we add the memory again, no new

struct page when a memory device is hotremoved, because we may store
struct page in the memory to manage the memory which doesn't belong to

sparse_index_init() uses the index_init_lock spinlock to protect root
mem_section assignment. The lock is not necessary anymore because the
function is called only during boot (during paging init which is executed
only from a single CPU) and from the hotplug code (by add_memory() via
arch_add_memory()) which uses mem_hotplug_mutex.The lock was introduced by 28ae55c9 ("sparsemem extreme: hotplug
preparation") and sparse_index_init() was used only during boot at that
time.Later when the hotplug code (and add_memory()) was introduced there was no
synchronization so it was possible to online more sections from the same
root probably (though I am not 100% sure about that). The first
synchronization has been added by 6ad696d2 ("mm: allow memory hotplug and
hibernation in the same kernel") which was later replaced by the
mem_hotplug_mutex - 20d6c96b ("mem-hotplug: introduce
{un}lock_memory_hotplug()").Let's remove the lock as it is not needed and it makes the code more
confusing.[mhocko@suse.cz: changelog]

On architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE set, such as
Itanium, pageblock_order is a variable with default value of 0. It's set
to the right value by set_pageblock_order() in function
free_area_init_core().But pageblock_order may be used by sparse_init() before free_area_init_core()
is called along path:
sparse_init()
->sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node()
->usemap_size()
->SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS
->((1UL << (PFN_SECTION_SHIFT - pageblock_order)) *
NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS)The uninitialized pageblock_size will cause memory wasting because
usemap_size() returns a much bigger value then it's really needed.For example, on an Itanium platform,
sparse_init() pageblock_order=0 usemap_size=24576
free_area_init_core() before pageblock_order=0, usemap_size=24576

After commit f5bf18fa22f8 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa22f8
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu

Commit 238305bb4d41 ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the
bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation
that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node
descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them:node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address
of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap,
when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs. Because the
PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted
section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before
the section holding the usemap can go.Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use.

alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the
specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory
allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem.As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with
relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed
and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

and after some debugging, it seems that
goal = 0x7ffff000000
limit = 0x80000000000and sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node ->
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_pgdat_section callsreturn alloc_bootmem_section(usemap_size() * count, section_nr);
This is on a system with 8TB available via the AMS pool, and as a quirk
of AMS in firmware, all of that memory shows up in node 0. So, we end
up with an allocation that will fail the goal/limit constraints.In theory, we could "fall-back" to alloc_bootmem_node() in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node(), but since we actually have HOTREMOVE
defined, we'll BUG_ON() instead. A simple solution appears to be to
unconditionally remove the limit condition in alloc_bootmem_section,
meaning allocations are allowed to cross section boundaries (necessary
for systems of this size).Johannes Weiner pointed out that if alloc_bootmem_section() no longer
guarantees section-locality, we need check_usemap_section_nr() to print
possible cross-dependencies between node descriptors and the usemaps
allocated through it. That makes the two loops in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() identical, so re-factor the code a
bit.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: code simplification]

PG_buddy can be converted to _mapcount == -2. So the PG_compound_lock can
be added to page->flags without overflowing (because of the sparse section
bits increasing) with CONFIG_X86_PAE=y and CONFIG_X86_PAT=y. This also
has to move the memory hotplug code from _mapcount to lru.next to avoid
any risk of clashes. We can't use lru.next for PG_buddy removal, but
memory hotplug can use lru.next even more easily than the mapcount
instead.Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.
Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are
allocated on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed
until removing other sections. This dependency is not desirable for
memory removing.Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the
last section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and
section B has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to
dependency each other.To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat
as much as possible. If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this
section will be able to be removed finally.Signed-off-by: Yasunori Goto
