In preparation for runtime randomization of the zone lists, take all
(well, most of) the list_*() functions in the buddy allocator and put
them in helper functions.  Provide a common control point for injecting
additional behavior when freeing pages.

We now use the slab_list list_head instead of the lru list_head.  This

<title>mm: fix vm_fault_t cast in VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX()</title>

Symmetrically to VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX(), we need a force-cast in
VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX() to tell sparse that this is intentional.

Sparse complains about the current code when building a kernel with
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE:

Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "This has been a slightly more active cycle than normal with ongoing
  core changes and quite a lot of collected driver updates.

   - Various driver fixes for bnxt_re, cxgb4, hns, mlx5, pvrdma, rxe

   - A new data transfer mode for HFI1 giving higher performance

   - Significant functional and bug fix update to the mlx5
     On-Demand-Paging MR feature

   - A chip hang reset recovery system for hns

   - Change mm-&gt;pinned_vm to an atomic64

   - Update bnxt_re to support a new 57500 chip

   - A sane netlink 'rdma link add' method for creating rxe devices and
     fixing the various unregistration race conditions in rxe's
     unregister flow

   - Allow lookup up objects by an ID over netlink

   - Various reworking of the core to driver interface:
       - drivers should not assume umem SGLs are in PAGE_SIZE chunks
       - ucontext is accessed via udata not other means
       - start to make the core code responsible for object memory
         allocation
       - drivers should convert struct device to struct ib_device via a
         helper
       - drivers have more tools to avoid use after unregister problems"

Page fault handlers are supposed to return VM_FAULT codes, but some
drivers/file systems mistakenly return error numbers.  Now that all
drivers/file systems have been converted to use the vm_fault_t return
type, change the type definition to no longer be compatible with 'int'.
By making it an unsigned int, the function prototype becomes
incompatible with a function which returns int.  Sparse will detect any
attempts to return a value which is not a VM_FAULT code.

VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX and VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX values are changed to avoid
conflict with other VM_FAULT codes.

<title>mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access -&gt;lru_lock directly</title>

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
	zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
	&amp;NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))-&gt;node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]-&gt;zone_pgdat-&gt;lru_lock
while we can simply do
	&amp;NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))-&gt;lru_lock

Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.  Use
'page_pgdat(page)-&gt;lru_lock' pattern instead.

The page_pool API is using page-&gt;private to store DMA addresses.
As pointed out by David Miller we can't use that on 32-bit architectures
with 64-bit DMA

This patch adds a new dma_addr_t struct to allow storing DMA addresses

Taking a sleeping lock to _only_ increment a variable is quite the
overkill, and pretty much all users do this. Furthermore, some drivers
(ie: infiniband and scif) that need pinned semantics can go to quite
some trouble to actually delay via workqueue (un)accounting for pinned
pages when not possible to acquire it.

By making the counter atomic we no longer need to hold the mmap_sem and
can simply some code around it for pinned_vm users. The counter is 64-bit
such that we need not worry about overflows such as rdma user input
controlled from userspace.

This define is used by arm64 to calculate the size of the vmemmap
region.  It is defined as the log2 of the upper bound on the size of a
struct page.

We move it into mm_types.h so it can be defined properly instead of set
and checked with a build bug.  This also allows us to use the same
define for riscv.

<title>mm: get rid of vmacache_flush_all() entirely</title>

Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only
potentially expensive, it's buggy too.  It also happens to be entirely
unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by
simply making the sequence number be 64-bit.  That doesn't even grow the
data structures in question, because the other adjacent fields are
already 64-bit.

So simplify the whole thing by just making the sequence number overflow
case go away entirely, which gets rid of all the complications and makes
the code faster too.  Win-win.

[ Oleg Nesterov points out that the VMACACHE_FULL_FLUSHES statistics
  also just goes away entirely with this ]
