This reverts commit 7efc3b7261030da79001c00d92bc3392fd6c664c.

We have got openSUSE reports (Link 1) for 6.1 kernel with khugepaged
stalling CPU for long periods of time.  Investigation of tracepoint data
shows that compaction is stuck in repeating fast_find_migrateblock()
based migrate page isolation, and then fails to migrate all isolated
pages.

Commit 7efc3b726103 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
was suspected as it was merged in 6.1 and in theory can indeed remove a
termination condition for fast_find_migrateblock() under certain
conditions, as it removes a place that always marks a scanned pageblock
from being re-scanned.  There are other such places, but those can be
skipped under certain conditions, which seems to match the tracepoint
data.

Testing of revert also appears to have resolved the issue, thus revert
the commit until a more robust solution for the original problem is
developed.

It's also likely this will fix qemu stalls with 6.1 kernel reported in
Link 2, but that is not yet confirmed.

<title>mm, compaction: fix fast_isolate_around() to stay within boundaries</title>

<content type='text'>
Depending on the memory configuration, isolate_freepages_block() may scan
pages out of the target range and causes panic.

Panic can occur on systems with multiple zones in a single pageblock.

The reason it is rare is that it only happens in special
configurations.  Depending on how many similar systems there are, it
may be a good idea to fix this problem for older kernels as well.

The problem is that pfn as argument of fast_isolate_around() could be out
of the target range.  Therefore we should consider the case where pfn &lt;
start_pfn, and also the case where end_pfn &lt; pfn.

This problem should have been addressd by the commit 6e2b7044c199 ("mm,
compaction: make fast_isolate_freepages() stay within zone") but there was
an oversight.

 Case1: pfn &lt; start_pfn

  &lt;at memory compaction for node Y&gt;
  |  node X's zone  | node Y's zone
  +-----------------+------------------------------...
   pageblock    ^   ^     ^
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+...
                ^   ^     ^
                ^   ^      end_pfn
                ^    start_pfn = cc-&gt;zone-&gt;zone_start_pfn
                 pfn
                &lt;---------&gt; scanned range by "Scan After"

 Case2: end_pfn &lt; pfn

  &lt;at memory compaction for node X&gt;
  |  node X's zone  | node Y's zone
  +-----------------+------------------------------...
   pageblock  ^     ^   ^
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+...
              ^     ^   ^
              ^     ^    pfn
              ^      end_pfn
               start_pfn
              &lt;---------&gt; scanned range by "Scan Before"

It seems that there is no good reason to skip nr_isolated pages just after
given pfn.  So let perform simple scan from start to end instead of
dividing the scan into "Before" and "After".

The issue is reported when removing memory through virtio_mem device.  The
transparent huge page, experienced copy-on-write fault, is wrongly
regarded as pinned.  The transparent huge page is escaped from being
isolated in isolate_migratepages_block().  The transparent huge page can't
be migrated and the corresponding memory block can't be put into offline
state.

Fix it by replacing page_mapcount() with total_mapcount().  With this, the
transparent huge page can be isolated and migrated, and the memory block
can be put into offline state.  Besides, The page's refcount is increased
a bit earlier to avoid the page is released when the check is executed.

When we successfully find a pageblock in fast_find_migrateblock(), the
block will be set skip-flag through set_pageblock_skip().  However, when
entering isolate_migratepages_block(), the whole pageblock will be skipped
due to the branch 'if (!valid_page &amp;&amp; IS_ALIGNED(low_pfn,
pageblock_nr_pages))'.  Eventually we will goto isolate_abort and isolate
nothing.  That makes fast_find_migrateblock useless.

In this patch, when we find a suitable pageblock in
fast_find_migrateblock, we do noting but let isolate_migratepages_block to
set skip flag to the pageblock after scan it.  Normally, we would isolate
some pages from the fast-find block.

I use mmtest/thpscale-madvhugepage test it. Here is the result:

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

Move pageblock_start_pfn/pageblock_end_pfn() into pageblock-flags.h, then
they could be used somewhere else, not only in compaction, also use
ALIGN_DOWN() instead of round_down() to be pair with ALIGN(), which should
be same for pageblock usage.

At present kswapd/kcompactd_run() and kswapd/kcompactd_stop() are protected
by mem_hotplug_begin/done(), but without kcompactd(). There is no need to
involve memory hotplug lock in kcompactd(), so let's add a new mutex to
protect pgdat-&gt;kswapd accesses.

Also, because the kcompactd task will check the state of kswapd task, it's
better to call kcompactd_stop() before kswapd_stop() to reduce lock
conflicts.
