[ Upstream commit 0dfe54071d7c828a02917b595456bfde1afdddc9 ]

The nodemask routines had mixed return values that provided potentially
signed return values that could never happen. This was leading to the
compiler getting confusing about the range of possible return values
(it was thinking things could be negative where they could not be). Fix
all the nodemask routines that should be returning unsigned
(or bool) values. Silences:

 mm/swapfile.c: In function ‘setup_swap_info’:
 mm/swapfile.c:2291:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds of ‘struct plist_node[]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
  2291 |                                 p-&gt;avail_lists[i].prio = 1;

<title>nodemask.h: fix compilation error with GCC12</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 37462a920392cb86541650a6f4121155f11f1199 upstream.

With gcc version 12.0.1 20220401 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0), building with
defconfig results in the following compilation error:

|   CC      mm/swapfile.o
| mm/swapfile.c: In function `setup_swap_info':
| mm/swapfile.c:2291:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds
|  of `struct plist_node[]' [-Werror=array-bounds]
|  2291 |                                 p-&gt;avail_lists[i].prio = 1;
|       |                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
| In file included from mm/swapfile.c:16:
| ./include/linux/swap.h:292:27: note: while referencing `avail_lists'
|   292 |         struct plist_node avail_lists[]; /*
|       |                           ^~~~~~~~~~~

This is due to the compiler detecting that the mask in
node_states[__state] could theoretically be zero, which would lead to
first_node() returning -1 through find_first_bit.

I believe that the warning/error is legitimate.  I first tried adding a
test to check that the node mask is not emtpy, since a similar test exists
in the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1.

However, adding the if statement causes other warnings to appear in
for_each_cpu_node_but, because it introduces a dangling else ambiguity.
And unfortunately, GCC is not smart enough to detect that the added test
makes the case where (node) == -1 impossible, so it still complains with
the same message.

This is why I settled on replacing that with a harmless, but relatively
useless (node) &gt;= 0 test.  Based on the warning for the dangling else, I
also decided to fix the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1 by moving the
condition inside the for loop.  It will still only be tested once.  This
ensures that the meaning of an else following for_each_node_mask or
derivatives would not silently have a different meaning depending on the
configuration.

Lots of code does

	if (node == MAX_NUMNODES)
		node = first_node(XXX);

so create next_node_in() to do this and use it in various places.

printf family of functions can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]' and
all cpumask and nodemask formatting will be converted to use it.  To
ease printing these masks with '%*pb[l]' which require two params -
the number of bits and the actual bitmap, this patch implement
cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args() which can be used to provide
arguments for '%*pb[l]'

<title>linux/nodemask.h: update bitmap wrappers to take unsigned int</title>

<content type='text'>
Since the various bitmap_* functions now take an unsigned int as nbits
parameter, it makes sense to also update the various wrappers.

Since the various bitmap_* functions now take an unsigned int as nbits
parameter, it makes sense to also update the various wrappers.

With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for
optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist.  When
CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist
for first_online_node may become NULL.

The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for
the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler.

Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

<title>numa: Mark __node_set() as __always_inline</title>

It is posible for some compilers to decide that __node_set() does
not need to be made turned into an inline function.  When the
compiler does this on an __init function calling it on
__initdata we get a section mismatch warning now.  Use
__always_inline to ensure that we will be inlined.

<title>numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node</title>

We need a node which only contains movable memory.  This feature is very
important for node hotplug.  If a node has normal/highmem, the memory may
be used by the kernel and can't be offlined.  If the node only contains
movable memory, we can offline the memory and the node.

All are prepared, we can actually introduce N_MEMORY.
add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE make we can use it for movable-dedicated node

<title>mm: node_states: introduce N_MEMORY</title>

<content type='text'>
We have N_NORMAL_MEMORY for standing for the nodes that have normal memory
with zone_type &lt;= ZONE_NORMAL.

And we have N_HIGH_MEMORY for standing for the nodes that have normal or
high memory.

But we don't have any word to stand for the nodes that have *any* memory.

And we have N_CPU but without N_MEMORY.

Current code reuse the N_HIGH_MEMORY for this purpose because any node
which has memory must have high memory or normal memory currently.

A)	But this reusing is bad for *readability*. Because the name
	N_HIGH_MEMORY just stands for high or normal:

A.example 1)
	mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages():
		for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY)

	The user will be confused(why this function just counts for high or
	normal memory node? does it counts for ZONE_MOVABLE's lru pages?)
	until someone else tell them N_HIGH_MEMORY is reused to stand for
	nodes that have any memory.

A.cont) If we introduce N_MEMORY, we can reduce this confusing
	AND make the code more clearly:

A.example 2) mm/page_cgroup.c use N_HIGH_MEMORY twice:

	One is in page_cgroup_init(void):
		for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) {

	It means if the node have memory, we will allocate page_cgroup map for
	the node. We should use N_MEMORY instead here to gaim more clearly.

	The second using is in alloc_page_cgroup():
		if (node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
			addr = vzalloc_node(size, nid);

	It means if the node has high or normal memory that can be allocated
	from kernel. We should keep N_HIGH_MEMORY here, and it will be better
	if the "any memory" semantic of N_HIGH_MEMORY is removed.

B)	This reusing is out-dated if we introduce MOVABLE-dedicated node.
	The MOVABLE-dedicated node should not appear in
	node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY] nor node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY],
	because MOVABLE-dedicated node has no high or normal memory.

	In x86_64, N_HIGH_MEMORY=N_NORMAL_MEMORY, if a MOVABLE-dedicated node
	is in node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it is also means it is in
	node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], it causes SLUB wrong.

	The slub uses
		for_each_node_state(nid, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
	and creates kmem_cache_node for MOVABLE-dedicated node and cause problem.

In one word, we need a N_MEMORY.  We just intrude it as an alias to
N_HIGH_MEMORY and fix all im-proper usages of N_HIGH_MEMORY in late
patches.
