[ Upstream commit 2dcb3964544177c51853a210b6ad400de78ef17d ]

With kaslr the kernel image is placed at a random place, so starting the
bottom-up allocation with the kernel_end can result in an allocation
failure and a warning like this one:

  hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node

there is no reason to fallback in the case of a failure.  All together it
simplifies the logic.

commit 864b9a393dcb5aed09b8fd31b9bbda0fdda99374 upstream.

We have seen an early OOM killer invocation on ppc64 systems with
crashkernel=4096M:

	kthreadd invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x16040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOTRACK), nodemask=7, order=0, oom_score_adj=0

	0 total pagecache pages
	0 pages in swap cache
	Swap cache stats: add 0, delete 0, find 0/0
	Free swap  = 0kB
	Total swap = 0kB
	819200 pages RAM
	0 pages HighMem/MovableOnly
	817481 pages reserved
	0 pages cma reserved
	0 pages hwpoisoned

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done.  update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range.  In this particular case we've had

	Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)

so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.

Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation.  Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address.  The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation.  This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

Since commit e3239ff92a17 ("memblock: Rename memblock_region to
memblock_type and memblock_property to memblock_region"), all local
variables of the membock_type type were renamed to 'type'.  This commit
renames all remaining local variables with the memblock_type type to the
same view.

<title>mem-hotplug: handle node hole when initializing numa_meminfo.</title>

<id>95cf82ecc1fcb44df1768162343cc8eb88083b86</id>
<content type='text'>
When parsing SRAT, all memory ranges are added into numa_meminfo.  In
numa_init(), before entering numa_cleanup_meminfo(), all possible memory
ranges are in numa_meminfo.  And numa_cleanup_meminfo() removes all
ranges over max_pfn or empty.

But, this only works if the nodes are continuous.  Let's have a look at
the following example:

We have an SRAT like this:
SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x5fffffff]
SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x1ffffffffff]
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x20000000000-0x3ffffffffff]
SRAT: Node 4 PXM 2 [mem 0x40000000000-0x5ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 5 PXM 3 [mem 0x60000000000-0x7ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 2 PXM 4 [mem 0x80000000000-0x9ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 3 PXM 5 [mem 0xa0000000000-0xbffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 6 PXM 6 [mem 0xc0000000000-0xdffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 7 PXM 7 [mem 0xe0000000000-0xfffffffffff] hotplug

On boot, only node 0,1,2,3 exist.

And the numa_meminfo will look like this:
numa_meminfo.nr_blks = 9
1. on node 0: [0, 60000000]
2. on node 0: [100000000, 20000000000]
3. on node 1: [20000000000, 40000000000]
4. on node 4: [40000000000, 60000000000]
5. on node 5: [60000000000, 80000000000]
6. on node 2: [80000000000, a0000000000]
7. on node 3: [a0000000000, a0800000000]
8. on node 6: [c0000000000, a0800000000]
9. on node 7: [e0000000000, a0800000000]

And numa_cleanup_meminfo() will merge 1 and 2, and remove 8,9 because the
end address is over max_pfn, which is a0800000000.  But 4 and 5 are not
removed because their end addresses are less then max_pfn.  But in fact,
node 4 and 5 don't exist.

In a word, numa_cleanup_meminfo() is not able to handle holes between nodes.

Since memory ranges in node 4 and 5 are in numa_meminfo, in
numa_register_memblks(), node 4 and 5 will be mistakenly set to online.

If you run lscpu, it will show:
NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-14,128-142
NUMA node1 CPU(s):     15-29,143-157
NUMA node2 CPU(s):
NUMA node3 CPU(s):
NUMA node4 CPU(s):     62-76,190-204
NUMA node5 CPU(s):     78-92,206-220

In this patch, we use memblock_overlaps_region() to check if ranges in
numa_meminfo overlap with ranges in memory_block.  Since memory_block
contains all available memory at boot time, if they overlap, it means the
ranges exist.  If not, then remove them from numa_meminfo.

After this patch, lscpu will show:
NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-14,128-142
NUMA node1 CPU(s):     15-29,143-157
NUMA node4 CPU(s):     62-76,190-204
NUMA node5 CPU(s):     78-92,206-220

memblock_overlaps_region() checks if the given memblock region
intersects a region in memblock.  If so, it returns the index of the
intersected region.

But its only caller is memblock_is_region_reserved(), and it returns 0
if false, non-zero if true.

Both of these should return bool.

Each memblock_region has flags to indicates the type of this range. For
the overlap case, memblock_add_range() inserts the lower part and leave the
upper part as indicated in the overlapped region.

If the flags of the new range differs from the overlapped region, the
information recorded is not correct.

This patch adds a WARN_ON when the flags of the new range differs from the
overlapped region.
