Memory hotlug is broken for 32b systems at least since c6f03e2903 ("mm,
memory_hotplug: remove zone restrictions") which has considerably reworked
how can be memory associated with movable/kernel zones. The same is not
really trivial to achieve in 32b where only lowmem is the kernel zone.
While we can tweak this immediate problem around there are likely other
land mines hidden at other places.
It is also quite dubious that there is a real usecase for the memory
hotplug on 32b in the first place. Low memory is just too small to be
hotplugable (for hot add) and generally unusable for hotremove. Adding
more memory to highmem is also dubious because it would increase the low
mem or vmalloc space pressure for memmaps.
Restrict the functionality to 64b systems. This will help future
development to focus on usecases that have real life application. We can
remove this restriction in future in presence of a real life usecase of
course but until then make it explicit that hotplug on 32b is broken and
requires a non trivial amount of work to fix.
Robin said:
"32-bit Arm doesn't support memory hotplug, and as far as I'm aware
there's little likelihood of it ever wanting to. FWIW it looks like
SuperH is the only pure-32-bit architecture to have hotplug support at
all"

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Interface to add driver-managed system
ram", v4.
kexec (via kexec_load()) can currently not properly handle memory added
via dax/kmem, and will have similar issues with virtio-mem. kexec-tools
will currently add all memory to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. In
case of dax/kmem, this means that - in contrast to a proper reboot - how
that persistent memory will be used can no longer be configured by the
kexec'd kernel. In case of virtio-mem it will be harmful, because that
memory might contain inaccessible pieces that require coordination with
hypervisor first.
In both cases, we want to let the driver in the kexec'd kernel handle
detecting and adding the memory, like during an ordinary reboot.
Introduce add_memory_driver_managed(). More on the samentics are in patch
#1.
In the future, we might want to make this behavior configurable for
dax/kmem- either by configuring it in the kernel (which would then also
allow to configure kexec_file_load()) or in kexec-tools by also adding
"System RAM (kmem)" memory from /proc/iomem to the fixed-up initial
firmware memmap.
More on the motivation can be found in [1] and [2].
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200429160803.109056-1-david@redhat.com
[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200430102908.10107-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 3):
Some device drivers rely on memory they managed to not get added to the
initial (firmware) memmap as system RAM - so it's not used as initial
system RAM by the kernel and the driver is under control. While this is
the case during cold boot and after a reboot, kexec is not aware of that
and might add such memory to the initial (firmware) memmap of the kexec
kernel. We need ways to teach kernel and userspace that this system ram
is different.
For example, dax/kmem allows to decide at runtime if persistent memory is
to be used as system ram. Another future user is virtio-mem, which has to
coordinate with its hypervisor to deal with inaccessible parts within
memory resources.
We want to let users in the kernel (esp. kexec) but also user space
(esp. kexec-tools) know that this memory has different semantics and
needs to be handled differently:
1. Don't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/
2. Name the memory resource "System RAM ($DRIVER)" (exposed via
/proc/iomem) ($DRIVER might be "kmem", "virtio_mem").
3. Flag the memory resource IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED
/sys/firmware/memmap/ [1] represents the "raw firmware-provided memory
map" because "on most architectures that firmware-provided memory map is
modified afterwards by the kernel itself". The primary user is kexec on
x86-64. Since commit d96ae53091 ("memory-hotplug: create
/sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory"), we add all hotplugged memory
to that firmware memmap - which makes perfect sense for traditional memory
hotplug on x86-64, where real HW will also add hotplugged DIMMs to the
firmware memmap. We replicate what the "raw firmware-provided memory map"
looks like after hot(un)plug.
To keep things simple, let the user provide the full resource name instead
of only the driver name - this way, we don't have to manually
allocate/craft strings for memory resources. Also use the resource name
to make decisions, to avoid passing additional flags. In case the name
isn't "System RAM", it's special.
We don't have to worry about firmware_map_remove() on the removal path.
If there is no entry, it will simply return with -EINVAL.
We'll adapt dax/kmem in a follow-up patch.

The comment in add_memory_resource() is stale: hotadd_new_pgdat() will no
longer call get_pfn_range_for_nid(), as a hotadded pgdat will simply span
no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via
move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory blocks.
The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for
iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64,
s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v1.
A hotadded node/pgdat will span no pages at all, until memory is moved to
the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() -> resize_pgdat_range - e.g.,
when onlining memory blocks. We don't have to initialize the
node_start_pfn to the memory we are adding.
This patch (of 2):
Especially, there is an inconsistency:
- Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node with cpus: node_start_pf == 0
- Offlining and removing last memory from a node: node_start_pfn == 0
- Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node without cpus: node_start_pfn != 0
As soon as memory is onlined, node_start_pfn is overwritten with the
actual start. E.g., when adding two DIMMs but only onlining one of both,
only that DIMM (with online memory blocks) is spanned by the node.
Currently, the validity of node_start_pfn really is linked to
node_spanned_pages != 0. With node_spanned_pages == 0 (e.g., before
onlining memory), it has no meaning.
So let's stop setting node_start_pfn, just to be overwritten via
move_pfn_range_to_zone(). This avoids confusion when looking at the code,
wondering which magic will be performed with the node_start_pfn in this
function, when hotadding a pgdat.

For kvmalloc'ed data object that contains sensitive information like
cryptographic keys, we need to make sure that the buffer is always cleared
before freeing it. Using memset() alone for buffer clearing may not
provide certainty as the compiler may compile it away. To be sure, the
special memzero_explicit() has to be used.
This patch introduces a new kvfree_sensitive() for freeing those sensitive
data objects allocated by kvmalloc(). The relevant places where
kvfree_sensitive() can be used are modified to use it.

This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and
other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics.
This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing
page table helpers or addition of new ones.
This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not
limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various
level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page
and validating them.
Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size
and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a
real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called
via late_initcall().
This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected.
Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to
select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64,
x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run
successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test
after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers.
Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers
conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config
which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here
will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test
will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from
generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

This check was added by commit 82f71ae4a2 ("mm: catch memory
commitment underflow") in 2014 to have a safety check for issues which
have been fixed. And there has been few report caught by it, as
described in its commit log:
: This shouldn't happen any more - the previous two patches fixed
: the committed_as underflow issues.
But it was really found by Qian Cai when he used the LTP memory stress
suite to test a RFC patchset, which tries to improve scalability of
per-cpu counter 'vm_committed_as', by chosing a bigger 'batch' number for
loose overcommit policies (OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS), while
keeping current number for OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.
With that patchset, when system firstly uses a loose policy, the
'vm_committed_as' count could be a big negative value, as its big 'batch'
number allows a big deviation, then when the policy is changed to
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, the 'batch' will be decreased to a much smaller value,
thus hits this WARN check.
To mitigate this, one proposed solution is to queue work on all online
CPUs to do a local sync for 'vm_committed_as' when changing policy to
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, plus some global syncing to garante the case won't be
hit.
But this solution is costy and slow, given this check hasn't shown real
trouble or benefit, simply drop it from one hot path of MM. And perf
stats does show some tiny saving for removing it.

pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as
the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory.
pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from
MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge
page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following
situation which is counter intuitive.
[pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true]
This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's
functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation
as follows. This does not create any functional change.
[pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true]
This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via

ba841078cd ("mm/mempolicy: Allow lookup_node() to handle fatal signal")

ae46d2aa6a ("mm/gup: Let __get_user_pages_locked() return -EINTR for
fatal signal") in the mean time so ba841078cd can be reverted.
This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check
for 0 is wrong and confusing here. Firstly it is inherently unsafe to
access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page
returned).
Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not
return 0 when nr_pages > 0 unless FOLL_NOWAIT is specified which is not
the case here. Document this potential error code in gup code while we

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that
list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list
starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age
information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant
latencies until the scanner has caught up.
Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list
receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the
other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum
rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while
still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of
the lists need to adjust.

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to
reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already
counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count
writepage calls during reclaim.
For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the
anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative
balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and
reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that
don't require IO to reclaim.
For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would
have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it -
premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes.
Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing
cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that
wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page
cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger
batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from
kswapd.
For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a
stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently
accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can
still refine the measurements.
Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the
page belongs to.
Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require
IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias?
First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are
referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the
anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age
anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their
hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still
want to reclaim the coldest memory overall.
Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is
swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out
before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.
This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.
If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration
will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:
1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.
2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.
Since commit a528910e12 ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing")
we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events,
they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is
too small for its workingset and needs to grow.
For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more
time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list.
Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we
reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off.
Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative
reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances
that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as
rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost
to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the
deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the
other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing
memory.
Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU
balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost
signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO
cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual
rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

Operations like MADV_FREE, FADV_DONTNEED etc. currently move any affected
active pages to the inactive list to accelerate their reclaim (good) but
also steer page reclaim toward that LRU type, or away from the other
(bad).
The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of
the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much
about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use,
and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to
apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages. The other LRU,
meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need
to steer away from it in the first place.
As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually
observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the
potential value of one LRU list over the other. In that spirit, leave
explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let
rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.
There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.
Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.
The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.
This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.
Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU
lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid
div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:
anon_prio = swappiness;
file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;
[...]
/*
* The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
* proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
* each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
*/
ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;
fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);
fraction[0] = ap;
fraction[1] = fp;
denominator = ap + fp + 1;
While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp
to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still
add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is
always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one
can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into
separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to
account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a
flood of pages that are used only once. New page cache additions would
tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize
that bias again. This ensured that page reclaim would always go for
used-once cache first.
Since e986850598 ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have
plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as
long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing
when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the
previous use-once bias will have been neutralized. This makes the
use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary.

We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the
size of the total cache. This allows new pages with competitive access
frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially
displace pages on the active list that have gone cold.
However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active
cache in a competition for the hottest memory. This is not a great
default assumption. The page cache might be thrashing while there are
enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd
only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache.
Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than
the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages.
Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs
depending on the IO situation. Rotational drives will prefer avoiding
random IO from swap and go harder after cache. But fundamentally, hot
cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.
