66eca1021a mm/page_alloc: fix pcp->count race between drain_pages_zone() vs __rmqueue_pcplist() 
It's expected that no page should be left in pcp_list after calling
zone_pcp_disable() in offline_pages().  Previously, it's observed that
offline_pages() gets stuck [1] due to some pages remaining in pcp_list.

Cause:
There is a race condition between drain_pages_zone() and __rmqueue_pcplist()
involving the pcp->count variable. See below scenario:

         CPU0                              CPU1
    ----------------                    ---------------
                                      spin_lock(&pcp->lock);
                                      __rmqueue_pcplist() {
zone_pcp_disable() {
                                        /* list is empty */
                                        if (list_empty(list)) {
                                          /* add pages to pcp_list */
                                          alloced = rmqueue_bulk()
  mutex_lock(&pcp_batch_high_lock)
  ...
  __drain_all_pages() {
    drain_pages_zone() {
      /* read pcp->count, it's 0 here */
      count = READ_ONCE(pcp->count)
      /* 0 means nothing to drain */
                                          /* update pcp->count */
                                          pcp->count += alloced << order;
      ...
                                      ...
                                      spin_unlock(&pcp->lock);

In this case, after calling zone_pcp_disable() though, there are still some
pages in pcp_list. And these pages in pcp_list are neither movable nor
isolated, offline_pages() gets stuck as a result.

Solution:
Expand the scope of the pcp->lock to also protect pcp->count in
drain_pages_zone(), to ensure no pages are left in the pcp list after
zone_pcp_disable()

b3bebe4430 alloc_tag: outline and export free_reserved_page() 
Outline and export free_reserved_page() because modules use it and it in
turn uses page_ext_{get|put} which should not be exported.  The same
result could be obtained by outlining {get|put}_page_tag_ref() but that
would have higher performance impact as these functions are used in more
performance critical paths.

78eb4ea25c sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers 
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function

53dabce265 mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC 
This mostly reverts commit af3b854492f3 ("mm/page_alloc.c: allow error
injection").  The commit made should_fail_alloc_page() a noinline function
that's always called from the page allocation hotpath, even if it's empty
because CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC is not enabled, and there is no option to
disable it and prevent the associated function call overhead.

As with the preceding patch "mm, slab: put should_failslab back behind
CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB" and for the same reasons, put the
should_fail_alloc_page() back behind the config option.  When enabled, the
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION and BTF_ID records are preserved so it's not a
complete revert.

689d92cc81 mm/page_alloc: remove prefetchw() on freeing page to buddy system 
The prefetchw() is introduced from an ancient patch[1].

The change log says:

    The basic idea is to free higher order pages instead of going
    through every single one.  Also, some unnecessary atomic operations
    are done away with and replaced with non-atomic equivalents, and
    prefetching is done where it helps the most.  For a more in-depth
    discusion of this patch, please see the linux-ia64 archives (topic
    is "free bootmem feedback patch").

So there are several changes improve the bootmem freeing, in which the
most basic idea is freeing higher order pages.  And as Matthew says,
"Itanium CPUs of this era had no prefetchers."

I did 10 round bootup tests before and after this change, the data doesn't
prove prefetchw() help speeding up bootmem freeing.  The sum of the 10
round bootmem freeing time after prefetchw() removal even 5.2% faster than
before.

593a10dabe mm: refactor folio_undo_large_rmappable() 
Folios of order <= 1 are not in deferred list, the check of order is added
into folio_undo_large_rmappable() from commit 8897277acfef ("mm: support
order-1 folios in the page cache"), but there is a repeated check for
small folio (order 0) during each call of the
folio_undo_large_rmappable(), so only keep folio_order() check inside the
function.

In addition, move all the checks into header file to save a function call
for non-large-rmappable or empty deferred_list folio.

5062574422 mm/memory_hotplug: skip adjust_managed_page_count() for PageOffline() pages when offlining 
We currently have a hack for virtio-mem in place to handle memory
offlining with PageOffline pages for which we already adjusted the managed
page count.

Let's enlighten memory offlining code so we can get rid of that hack, and
document the situation.

503b158fc3 mm/memory_hotplug: initialize memmap of !ZONE_DEVICE with PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() 
We currently initialize the memmap such that PG_reserved is set and the
refcount of the page is 1.  In virtio-mem code, we have to manually clear
that PG_reserved flag to make memory offlining with partially hotplugged
memory blocks possible: has_unmovable_pages() would otherwise bail out on
such pages.

We want to avoid PG_reserved where possible and move to typed pages
instead.  Further, we want to further enlighten memory offlining code
about PG_offline: offline pages in an online memory section.  One example
is handling managed page count adjustments in a cleaner way during memory
offlining.

So let's initialize the pages with PG_offline instead of PG_reserved. 
generic_online_page()->__free_pages_core() will now clear that flag before
handing that memory to the buddy.

Note that the page refcount is still 1 and would forbid offlining of such
memory except when special care is take during GOING_OFFLINE as currently
only implemented by virtio-mem.

With this change, we can now get non-PageReserved() pages in the XEN
balloon list.  From what I can tell, that can already happen via
decrease_reservation(), so that should be fine.

HV-balloon should not really observe a change: partial online memory
blocks still cannot get surprise-offlined, because the refcount of these
PageOffline() pages is 1.

Update virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN-balloon code to be aware that
hotplugged pages are now PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() before
they are handed over to the buddy.

We'll leave the ZONE_DEVICE case alone for now.

Note that self-hosted vmemmap pages will no longer be marked as
reserved.  This matches ordinary vmemmap pages allocated from the buddy
during memory hotplug.  Now, really only vmemmap pages allocated from
memblock during early boot will be marked reserved.  Existing
PageReserved() checks seem to be handling all relevant cases correctly
even after this change.

13c526540b mm: pass meminit_context to __free_pages_core() 
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of
PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE".

This can be a considered a long-overdue follow-up to some parts of [1]. 
The patches are based on [2], but they are not strictly required -- just
makes it clearer why we can use adjust_managed_page_count() for memory
hotplug without going into details about highmem.

We stop initializing pages with PageReserved() in memory hotplug code --
except when dealing with ZONE_DEVICE for now.  Instead, we use
PageOffline(): all pages are initialized to PageOffline() when onlining a
memory section, and only the ones actually getting exposed to the
system/page allocator will get PageOffline cleared.

This way, we enlighten memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages and
can cleanup some hacks we have in virtio-mem code.

What about ZONE_DEVICE?  PageOffline() is wrong, but we might just stop
using PageReserved() for them later by simply checking for
is_zone_device_page() at suitable places.  That will be a separate patch
set / proposal.

This primarily affects virtio-mem, HV-balloon and XEN balloon. I only
briefly tested with virtio-mem, which benefits most from these cleanups.

[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240607083711.62833-1-david@redhat.com


This patch (of 3):

In preparation for further changes, let's teach __free_pages_core() about
the differences of memory hotplug handling.

Move the memory hotplug specific handling from generic_online_page() to
__free_pages_core(), use adjust_managed_page_count() on the memory hotplug
path, and spell out why memory freed via memblock cannot currently use
adjust_managed_page_count().

15995a3524 mm: report per-page metadata information 
Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much
it takes away from the machine capacity.  Thus, we want to describe the
amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary
depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use.

This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below:

Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator:
	/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE

Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator:
	/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE

Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine:
	(/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot +
	 /proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE

Utility for userspace:

Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to
per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is
not currently observable.

Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help
detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the
machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc).

page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner
page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel
parameters.  Having the total per-page metadata information helps users
precisely measure impact.  Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect
the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when
hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb
vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

7a581204b1 mm/highmem: reimplement totalhigh_pages() by walking zones 
Patch series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

Let's remove highmem special-casing from adjust_managed_page_count(), to
result in less confusion why memblock manually adjusts totalram_pages, and
__free_pages_core() only adjusts the zone's managed pages -- what about
the highmem pages that adjust_managed_page_count() updates?

Now, we only maintain totalram_pages and a zone's managed pages
independent of highmem support.  We can derive the number of highmem pages
simply by looking at the relevant zone's managed pages.  I don't think
there is any particular fast path that needs a maximum-efficient
totalhigh_pages() implementation.

Note that highmem memory is currently initialized using
free_highmem_page()->free_reserved_page(), not __free_pages_core().  In
the future we might want to also use __free_pages_core() to initialize
highmem memory, to make that less special, and consider moving
totalram_pages updates into __free_pages_core() [1], so we can just use
adjust_managed_page_count() in there as well.

Booting a simple kernel in QEMU reveals no highmem accounting change:

Before:
  Memory: 3095448K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
  5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49760K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
  2244488K highmem)

After:
  Memory: 3095276K/3145208K available (14802K kernel code, 2073K rwdata,
  5000K rodata, 740K init, 556K bss, 49932K reserved, 0K cma-reserved,
  2244488K highmem)

[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240601133402.2675-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com


This patch (of 2):

Can we get rid of the highmem ifdef in adjust_managed_page_count()? 
Likely yes: we don't have that many totalhigh_pages() users, and they all
don't seem to be very performance critical.

So let's implement totalhigh_pages() like nr_free_highpages(), collecting
information from all zones.  This is now similar to what we do in
si_meminfo_node() to collect the per-node highmem page count.

In the common case (single node, 3-4 zones), we really shouldn't care.  We
could optimize a bit further (only walk ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_MOVABLE if
required), but there doesn't seem a real need for that.

bf14ed81f5 mm/page_alloc: Separate THP PCP into movable and non-movable categories 
Since commit 5d0a661d808f ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for
THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of
pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation
requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not
acceptable.

If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the
CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual
machine with device passthrough will get stuck.  During starting the
virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM,
...) to pin memory.  Normally if a page is present and in CMA area,
pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA
area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag.  But if non-movable allocation
requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will
migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check
in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless.

Call trace:
pin_user_pages_remote
--__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function
----_get_user_pages_locked
----check_and_migrate_movable_pages
------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages
--------alloc_migration_target

This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself.  For example,
when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc()
or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's
users can retrieve that contigous memory.  Currently, CMA's memory is
occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them.  As a
result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail.

To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not
introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages.  THP will have 2 PCP
lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list
is used by UNMOVABLE allocation.  MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE,
and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.

384a746bb5 Revert "mm: init_mlocked_on_free_v3" 
There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.

There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.

Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.

... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
	kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));

Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.

Let's revert it.  Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

While trying to service a movable allocation (page type 1), the page
allocator runs into a two-pageblock buddy on the movable freelist whose
second block is typed as highatomic (page type 3).

This inconsistency is caused by the highatomic reservation system
operating on single pageblocks, while MAX_ORDER can be bigger than that -
in this configuration, pageblock_order is 9 while MAX_PAGE_ORDER is 10. 
The test case is observed to make several adjacent order-3 requests with
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM cleared, which marks the surrounding block as
highatomic.  Upon freeing, the blocks merge into an order-10 buddy.  When
the highatomic pool is drained later on, this order-10 buddy gets moved
back to the movable list, but only the first pageblock is marked movable
again.  A subsequent expand() of this buddy warns about the tail being of
a different type.

This is a long-standing bug that's surfaced by the recent block type
warnings added to the allocator.  The consequences seem mostly benign, it
just results in odd behavior: the highatomic tail blocks are not properly
drained, instead they end up on the movable list first, then go back to
the highatomic list after an alloc-free cycle.

To fix this, make the highatomic reservation code aware that
allocations/buddies can be larger than a pageblock.

While it's an old quirk, the recently added type consistency warnings seem
to be the most prominent consequence of it.  Set the Fixes: tag
accordingly to highlight this backporting dependency.

231f8c7127 mm: page_alloc: allowing mTHP compaction to capture the freed page directly 
Currently, compaction_capture() does not allow lower-order allocations to
directly capture the movable free pages, even though lower-order
allocations might also be requesting movable pages, that can lead to more
compaction scanning.  And, with the enablement of mTHP, such situations
will become more common.

Thus allowing lower-order (mTHP) allocations of movable page types
directly capture the movable free pages can avoid unnecessary compaction
scanning, meanwhile that won't pollute the movable pageblock.  With
testing 1M mTHP compaction, it can be seen that compaction scanning is
significantly reduced.

7115936ac1 mm/page_alloc: use folio_mapped() in __alloc_contig_migrate_range() 
We want to limit the use of page_mapcount() to the places where it is
absolutely necessary.

For tracing purposes, we use page_mapcount() in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range().  Adding that mapcount to total_mapped
sounds strange: total_migrated and total_reclaimed would count each page
only once, not multiple times.

But then, isolate_migratepages_range() adds each folio only once to the
list.  So for large folios, we would query the mapcount of the first page
of the folio, which doesn't make too much sense for large folios.

Let's simply use folio_mapped() * folio_nr_pages(), which makes more sense
as nr_migratepages is also incremented by the number of pages in the folio
in case of successful migration.

05c5323b2a mm: track mapcount of large folios in single value 
Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value.  The mapcount
of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount
and all page mapcounts.

This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is
also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped().

With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want
to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of
large folios.  The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no
pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for
mTHP that are always mapped by PTE.

Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and
might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel
configs.  Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios
efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages.

Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity.  Use the new
mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped().  Make
page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped().  We can now get rid of
folio_large_is_mapped().

_nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes.
Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be
limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes.

This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever
mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio.

As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during
unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the
large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common
case is small.  Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio
(e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's
essentially one additional atomic operation.

Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount
would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference.  Extend the
focumentation of folio_mapcount().

6303d1c553 mm: page_alloc: use the correct THP order for THP PCP 
Commit 44042b449872 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") extends the PCP allocator to store THP pages, and
it determines whether to cache THP pages in PCP by comparing with
pageblock_order.  But the pageblock_order is not always equal to THP
order.  It might also be MAX_PAGE_ORDER, which could prevent PCP from
caching THP pages.

7998df0b64 memory: remove the now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array 
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty
elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce
the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64
bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel from all files under mm/ that register a sysctl table.

ba42b524a0 mm: init_mlocked_on_free_v3 
Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.

Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.

CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

0aac45663a mm/page_alloc.c: change the array-length to MIGRATE_PCPTYPES 
Earlier, in commit 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging
non-fallbackable pageblocks with others"), migrate type MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE are removed from fallbacks list since they are never used.

Later on, in commit ("aa02d3c174ab mm/page_alloc: reduce fallbacks to
(MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1)"), the array column size is reduced to
'MIGRATE_PCPTYPES - 1'. In fact, the array row size need be reduced to
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES too since it's only covering rows of the number
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES. Even though the current code has handled cases
when the migratetype is CMA, HIGHATOMIC and MEMORY_ISOLATION, making
the row size right is still good to avoid future error and confusion.

96a5c186ef mm/page_alloc.c: don't show protection in zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] for empty zone 
On one node, for lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[], it will show how much
memory is reserved in this lower zone to avoid excessive page allocation
from the relevant higher zone's fallback allocation.

However, currently lower zone's lowmem_reserve[] element will be filled
even though the relevant higher zone is empty.  That doesnt' make sense
and can cause confusion.

E.g on node 0 of one system as below, it has zone
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE/DEVICE, among them zone MOVABLE/DEVICE are the
highest and both are empty.  In zone DMA/DMA32's protection array, we can
see that it has value for zone MOVABLE and DEVICE.

e42dfe4e0a mm: record the migration reason for struct migration_target_control 
Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.

As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration.  When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio().  However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.

This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

fd919a85cd mm: page_isolation: prepare for hygienic freelists 
Page isolation currently sets MIGRATE_ISOLATE on a block, then drops
zone->lock and scans the block for straddling buddies to split up. 
Because this happens non-atomically wrt the page allocator, it's possible
for allocations to get a buddy whose first block is a regular pcp
migratetype but whose tail is isolated.  This means that in certain cases
memory can still be allocated after isolation.  It will also trigger the
freelist type hygiene warnings in subsequent patches.

                                                       expand(head, head_mt)
                                                         WARN(head_mt != tail_mt)

    for (pfn = start_pfn, pfn < end_pfn)
      if (PageBuddy())
        split_free_page(head)

Introduce a variant of move_freepages_block() provided by the allocator
specifically for page isolation; it moves free pages, converts the block,
and handles the splitting of straddling buddies while holding zone->lock.

The allocator knows that pageblocks and buddies are always naturally
aligned, which means that buddies can only straddle blocks if they're
actually >pageblock_order.  This means the search-and-split part can be
simplified compared to what page isolation used to do.

Also tighten up the page isolation code around the expectations of which
pages can be large, and how they are freed.

Based on extensive discussions with and invaluable input from Zi Yan.

55612e80e7 mm: page_alloc: close migratetype race between freeing and stealing 
There are three freeing paths that read the page's migratetype
optimistically before grabbing the zone lock.  When this races with block
stealing, those pages go on the wrong freelist.

The paths in question are:
- when freeing >costly orders that aren't THP
- when freeing pages to the buddy upon pcp lock contention
- when freeing pages that are isolated
- when freeing pages initially during boot
- when freeing the remainder in alloc_pages_exact()
- when "accepting" unaccepted VM host memory before first use
- when freeing pages during unpoisoning

None of these are so hot that they would need this optimization at the
cost of hampering defrag efforts.  Especially when contrasted with the
fact that the most common buddy freeing path - free_pcppages_bulk - is
checking the migratetype under the zone->lock just fine.

In addition, isolated pages need to look up the migratetype under the lock
anyway, which adds branches to the locked section, and results in a double
lookup when the pages are in fact isolated.

Move the lookups into the lock.

c0cd6f557b mm: page_alloc: fix freelist movement during block conversion 
Currently, page block type conversion during fallbacks, atomic
reservations and isolation can strand various amounts of free pages on
incorrect freelists.

For example, fallback stealing moves free pages in the block to the new
type's freelists, but then may not actually claim the block for that type
if there aren't enough compatible pages already allocated.

In all cases, free page moving might fail if the block straddles more than
one zone, in which case no free pages are moved at all, but the block type
is changed anyway.

This is detrimental to type hygiene on the freelists.  It encourages
incompatible page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another) and
thus contributes to long-term fragmentation.

Split the process into a proper transaction: check first if conversion
will happen, then try to move the free pages, and only if that was
successful convert the block to the new type.

2dd482ba62 mm: page_alloc: fix move_freepages_block() range error 
When a block is partially outside the zone of the cursor page, the
function cuts the range to the pivot page instead of the zone start.  This
can leave large parts of the block behind, which encourages incompatible
page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another), and thus
long-term fragmentation.

This triggers reliably on the first block in the DMA zone, whose start_pfn
is 1.  The block is stolen, but everything before the pivot page (which
was often hundreds of pages) is left on the old list.

e6cf9e1c4c mm: page_alloc: fix up block types when merging compatible blocks 
The buddy allocator coalesces compatible blocks during freeing, but it
doesn't update the types of the subblocks to match.  When an allocation
later breaks the chunk down again, its pieces will be put on freelists of
the wrong type.  This encourages incompatible page mixing (ask for one
type, get another), and thus long-term fragmentation.

Update the subblocks when merging a larger chunk, such that a later
expand() will maintain freelist type hygiene.

17edeb5d3f mm: page_alloc: remove pcppage migratetype caching 
Patch series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene", v4.

The page allocator's mobility grouping is intended to keep unmovable pages
separate from reclaimable/compactable ones to allow on-demand
defragmentation for higher-order allocations and huge pages.

Currently, there are several places where accidental type mixing occurs:
an allocation asks for a page of a certain migratetype and receives
another.  This ruins pageblocks for compaction, which in turn makes
allocating huge pages more expensive and less reliable.

The series addresses those causes.  The last patch adds type checks on all
freelist movements to prevent new violations being introduced.

The benefits can be seen in a mixed workload that stresses the machine
with a memcache-type workload and a kernel build job while periodically
attempting to allocate batches of THP.  The following data is aggregated
over 50 consecutive defconfig builds:

Huge page success rate is higher, allocation latencies are shorter and
more predictable.

Stealing (fallback) rate is drastically reduced.  Notably, while the
vanilla kernel keeps doing fallbacks on an ongoing basis, the patched
kernel enters a steady state once the distribution of block types is
adequate for the workload.  Steals over 50 runs:

Type mismatches are down too.  Those count every time an allocation
request asks for one migratetype and gets another.  This can still occur
minimally in the patched kernel due to non-stealing fallbacks, but it's
quite rare and follows the pattern of overall fallbacks - once the block
type distribution settles, mismatches cease as well:

Compaction work is markedly reduced despite much better THP rates.

In the vanilla kernel, reclaim seems to have been driven primarily by
watermark boosting that happens as a result of fallbacks.  With those all
but eliminated, watermarks average lower and kswapd does less work.  The
uptick in direct reclaim is because THP requests have to fend for
themselves more often - which is intended policy right now.  Aggregate
reclaim activity is lowered significantly, though.


This patch (of 10):

The idea behind the cache is to save get_pageblock_migratetype() lookups
during bulk freeing.  A microbenchmark suggests this isn't helping,
though.  The pcp migratetype can get stale, which means that bulk freeing
has an extra branch to check if the pageblock was isolated while on the
pcp.

While the variance overlaps, the cache write and the branch seem to make
this a net negative.  The following test allocates and frees batches of
10,000 pages (~3x the pcp high marks to trigger flushing):

A side effect is that this also ensures that pages whose pageblock gets
stolen while on the pcplist end up on the right freelist and we don't
perform potentially type-incompatible buddy merges (or skip merges when we
shouldn't), which is likely beneficial to long-term fragmentation
management, although the effects would be harder to measure.  Settle for
simpler and faster code as justification here.

b7b098cf00 mm: always initialise folio->_deferred_list 
Patch series "Various significant MM patches".

These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send
them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really
an overarching theme to connect them.

The big effects of this patch series are:

 - folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a
   page reference
 - We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags
 - We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount()


This patch (of 9):

For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page
is not part of a deferred list.  We recently found this useful to rule out
a source of corruption.

cc92eba1c8 mm: fix non-compound multi-order memory accounting in __free_pages 
When a non-compound multi-order page is freed, it is possible that a
speculative reference keeps the page pinned.  In this case we free all
pages except for the first page, which will be freed later by the last
put_page().  However the page passed to put_page() is indistinguishable
from an order-0 page, so it cannot do the accounting, just as it cannot
free the subsequent pages.  Do the accounting here, where we free the
pages.

be25d1d4e8 mm: create new codetag references during page splitting 
When a high-order page is split into smaller ones, each newly split page
should get its codetag.  After the split each split page will be
referencing the original codetag.  The codetag's "bytes" counter remains
the same because the amount of allocated memory has not changed, however
the "calls" counter gets increased to keep the counter correct when these
individual pages get freed.

55f77df7d7 mm: page_alloc: control latency caused by zone PCP draining 
Patch series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge() API", v2.

In previous work [1], we removed the pXd_large() API, which is arch
specific.  This patchset further removes the hugetlb pXd_huge() API.

Hugetlb was never special on creating huge mappings when compared with
other huge mappings.  Having a standalone API just to detect such pgtable
entries is more or less redundant, especially after the pXd_leaf() API set
is introduced with/without CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

When looking at this problem, a few issues are also exposed that we don't
have a clear definition of the *_huge() variance API.  This patchset
started by cleaning these issues first, then replace all *_huge() users to
use *_leaf(), then drop all *_huge() code.

On x86/sparc, swap entries will be reported "true" in pXd_huge(), while
for all the rest archs they're reported "false" instead.  This part is
done in patch 1-5, in which I suspect patch 1 can be seen as a bug fix,
but I'll leave that to hmm experts to decide.

Besides, there are three archs (arm, arm64, powerpc) that have slightly
different definitions between the *_huge() v.s.  *_leaf() variances.  I
tackled them separately so that it'll be easier for arch experts to chim
in when necessary.  This part is done in patch 6-9.

The final patches 10-14 do the rest on the final removal, since *_leaf()
will be the ultimate API in the future, and we seem to have quite some
confusions on how *_huge() APIs can be defined, provide a rich comment for
*_leaf() API set to define them properly to avoid future misuse, and
hopefully that'll also help new archs to start support huge mappings and
avoid traps (like either swap entries, or PROT_NONE entry checks).

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240305043750.93762-1-peterx@redhat.com


This patch (of 14):

When the complete PCP is drained a much larger number of pages than the
usual batch size might be freed at once, causing large IRQ and preemption
latency spikes, as they are all freed while holding the pcp and zone
spinlocks.

To avoid those latency spikes, limit the number of pages freed in a single
bulk operation to common batch limits.
