      mem-hotplug: reset node managed pages when hot-adding a new pgdat · f784a3f1
      Tang Chen authored 
      In free_area_init_core(), zone->managed_pages is set to an approximate
value for lowmem, and will be adjusted when the bootmem allocator frees
pages into the buddy system.

But free_area_init_core() is also called by hotadd_new_pgdat() when
hot-adding memory.  As a result, zone->managed_pages of the newly added
node's pgdat is set to an approximate value in the very beginning.

Even if the memory on that node has node been onlined,
/sys/device/system/node/nodeXXX/meminfo has wrong value:

  hot-add node2 (memory not onlined)
  cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo
  Node 2 MemTotal:       33554432 kB
  Node 2 MemFree:               0 kB
  Node 2 MemUsed:        33554432 kB
  Node 2 Active:                0 kB

This patch fixes this problem by reset node managed pages to 0 after
hot-adding a new node.

1. Move reset_managed_pages_done from reset_node_managed_pages() to
   reset_all_zones_managed_pages()
2. Make reset_node_managed_pages()...

      mem-hotplug: let memblock skip the hotpluggable memory regions in __next_mem_range() · 0a313a99
      Xishi Qiu authored 
      
Let memblock skip the hotpluggable memory regions in __next_mem_range(),
it is used to to prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory
for the kernel at early time. The code is the same as __next_mem_range_rev().

Clear hotpluggable flag before releasing free pages to the buddy
allocator.  If we don't clear hotpluggable flag in
free_low_memory_core_early(), the memory which marked hotpluggable flag
will not free to buddy allocator.  Because __next_mem_range() will skip
them.

free_low_memory_core_early
	for_each_free_mem_range
		for_each_mem_range
			__next_mem_range

      mm/memblock: switch to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of MAX_NUMNODES · b1154233
      Grygorii Strashko authored 
      
It's recommended to use NUMA_NO_NODE everywhere to select "process any
node" behavior or to indicate that "no node id specified".

Hence, update __next_free_mem_range*() API's to accept both NUMA_NO_NODE
and MAX_NUMNODES, but emit warning once on MAX_NUMNODES, and correct
corresponding API's documentation to describe new behavior.  Also,
update other memblock/nobootmem APIs where MAX_NUMNODES is used
dirrectly.

The change was suggested by Tejun Heo.

      mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core · 0c988534
      Jiang Liu authored 
      
Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it.  With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().

With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

      mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zones · 7b4b2a0d
      Jiang Liu authored 
      
Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init().  But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot.  For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.

So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

      mm: introduce new field "managed_pages" to struct zone · 9feedc9d
      Jiang Liu authored 
      Currently a zone's present_pages is calcuated as below, which is
inaccurate and may cause trouble to memory hotplug.

	spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve.

During fixing bugs caused by inaccurate zone->present_pages, we found
zone->present_pages has been abused.  The field zone->present_pages may
have different meanings in different contexts:

1) pages existing in a zone.
2) pages managed by the buddy system.

For more discussions about the issue, please refer to:
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/



This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to
struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system".  And revert
zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which
also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages.

We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function
free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is
inaccurate.

For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to:

	(spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve)

Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the
bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function
free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem().

The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones'
managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages"
in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore.

This patch also adds a new field "managed_pages" to /proc/zoneinfo
and sysrq showmem.

      Revert commit 7f1290f2

 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")

That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM.  With that
change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
buddy allocator.  Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.

Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

      mm: fix-up zone present pages · 7f1290f2
      Jianguo Wu authored 
      I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:

	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,

but is now:
	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.

spanned pages: total size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.

This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be.  For example,
numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
ZONE_MOVABLE.  When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory

I think the bug described in

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2



is also caused by wrong zone present pages.

This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

      memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later · 29f67386
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.

Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.

| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing.  We should just allocate regions aligned to page

in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:

      mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section · 99ab7b19
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      After commit f5bf18fa ("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 f5bf18fa


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.

      mm: nobootmem: Correct alloc_bootmem semantics. · 4e1c2b28
      David Miller authored 
      
The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.

Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.

This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.

On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:

	__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)

as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn

The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

      bootmem: Move __alloc_memory_core_early() to nobootmem.c · 8bc1f91e
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      
Now that bootmem.c and nobootmem.c are separate, there's no reason to
define __alloc_memory_core_early(), which is used only by nobootmem,
inside #ifdef in page_alloc.c.  Move it to nobootmem.c and make it
static.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

      bootmem: Move contig_page_data definition to bootmem.c/nobootmem.c · e782ab42
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      
Now that bootmem.c and nobootmem.c are separate, it's cleaner to
define contig_page_data in each file than in page_alloc.c with #ifdef.
Move it.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

-v2: According to Andrew, fixed the struct layout.

      bootmem: Separate out CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM code into nobootmem.c · 09325873
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      mm/bootmem.c contained code paths for both bootmem and no bootmem
configurations.  They implement about the same set of APIs in
different ways and as a result bootmem.c contains massive amount of
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.

Separate out CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM code into mm/nobootmem.c.  As the
common part is relatively small, duplicate them in nobootmem.c instead
of creating a common file or ifdef'ing in bootmem.c.

The followings are duplicated.

* {min|max}_low_pfn, max_pfn, saved_max_pfn
* free_bootmem_late()
* ___alloc_bootmem()
* __alloc_bootmem_low()

The followings are applicable only to nobootmem and moved verbatim.

* __free_pages_memory()
* free_all_memory_core_early()

The followings are not applicable to nobootmem and omitted in
nobootmem.c.

* reserve_bootmem_node()
* reserve_bootmem()

The rest split function bodies according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.

Makefile is updated so that only either bootmem.c or nobootmem.c is
built according to CON...
