[ Upstream commit 89c02e69fc5245f8a2f34b58b42d43a737af1a5e ]

Right now we are using find_memory_block() to get the node id for the
pfn range to online.  We are missing to drop a reference to the memory
block device.  While the device still gets unregistered via
device_unregister(), resulting in no user visible problem, the device is
never released via device_release(), resulting in a memory leak.  Fix
that by properly using a put_device().

commit c4efe484b5f0d768e23c9731082fec827723e738 upstream.

When start_isolate_page_range() returned -EBUSY in __offline_pages(), it
calls memory_notify(MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE, &amp;arg) with an uninitialized
"arg".  As the result, it triggers warnings below.  Also, it is only
necessary to notify MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE after MEM_GOING_OFFLINE.

<content type='text'>
commit 9b7ea46a82b31c74a37e6ff1c2a1df7d53e392ab upstream.

Commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded
memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which
calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block.
memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to
be MOVABLE.

However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range()
after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing.  Due to commit
2ce13640b3f4 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed
__first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range()
here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while
doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as
offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within
the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections().

Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it
reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE.  Those pages
will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining.  The only thing
left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter
which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above
commit introduced.

Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages
on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of
pageblocks there.  Fix an incorrect comment along the way.

is_mem_section_removable do not pass the end of a zone").

The reason for the crash is that the mapping is garbage for poisoned
(uninitialized) page.  This shouldn't happen as all pages in the zone's
boundary should be initialized.

Later debugging revealed that the actual problem is an off-by-one when
evaluating the end_page.  'start_pfn + nr_pages' resp 'zone_end_pfn'
refers to a pfn after the range and as such it might belong to a
differen memory section.

This along with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM then makes the loop condition
completely bogus because a pointer arithmetic doesn't work for pages
from two different sections in that memory model.

Fix the issue by reworking is_pageblock_removable to be pfn based and
only use struct page where necessary.  This makes the code slightly
easier to follow and we will remove the problematic pointer arithmetic
completely.

Jan has noticed that we do double unlock on some failure paths when
offlining a page range.  This is indeed the case when
test_pages_in_a_zone respp.  start_isolate_page_range fail.  This was an
omission when forward porting the debugging patch from an older kernel.

Fix the issue by dropping mem_hotplug_done from the failure condition
and keeping the single unlock in the catch all failure path.

<title>mm,memory_hotplug: fix scan_movable_pages() for gigantic hugepages</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the same sort of error we saw in commit 17e2e7d7e1b8 ("mm,
page_alloc: fix has_unmovable_pages for HugePages").

Gigantic hugepages cross several memblocks, so it can be that the page
we get in scan_movable_pages() is a page-tail belonging to a
1G-hugepage.  If that happens, page_hstate()-&gt;size_to_hstate() will
return NULL, and we will blow up in hugepage_migration_supported().

The splat is as follows:

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.

Patch series "mm, memory_hotplug: fix uninitialized pages fallouts", v2.

Mikhail Zaslonko has posted fixes for the two bugs quite some time ago
[1].  I have pushed back on those fixes because I believed that it is
much better to plug the problem at the initialization time rather than
play whack-a-mole all over the hotplug code and find all the places
which expect the full memory section to be initialized.

We have ended up with commit 2830bf6f05fb ("mm, memory_hotplug:
initialize struct pages for the full memory section") merged and cause a
regression [2][3].  The reason is that there might be memory layouts
when two NUMA nodes share the same memory section so the merged fix is
simply incorrect.

In order to plug this hole we really have to be zone range aware in
those handlers.  I have split up the original patch into two.  One is
unchanged (patch 2) and I took a different approach for `removable'
crash.

This patch (of 2):

Mikhail has reported the following VM_BUG_ON triggered when reading sysfs
removable state of a memory block:

 page:000003d08300c000 is uninitialized and poisoned
 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
 Call Trace:

 Last Breaking-Event-Address:
   is_mem_section_removable+0xb4/0x190
 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

The reason is that the memory block spans the zone boundary and we are
stumbling over an unitialized struct page.  Fix this by enforcing zone
range in is_mem_section_removable so that we never run away from a zone.

<title>mm, memory_hotplug: don't bail out in do_migrate_range() prematurely</title>

do_migrate_range() takes a memory range and tries to isolate the pages
to put them into a list.  This list will be later on used in
migrate_pages() to know the pages we need to migrate.

Currently, if we fail to isolate a single page, we put all already
isolated pages back to their LRU and we bail out from the function.
This is quite suboptimal, as this will force us to start over again
because scan_movable_pages will give us the same range.  If there is no
chance that we can isolate that page, we will loop here forever.

Issue debugged in [1] has proved that.  During the debugging of that
issue, it was noticed that if do_migrate_ranges() fails to isolate a
single page, we will just discard the work we have done so far and bail
out, which means that scan_movable_pages() will find again the same set
of pages.

Instead, we can just skip the error, keep isolating as much pages as
possible and then proceed with the call to migrate_pages().

This will allow us to do as much work as possible at once.

<title>mm, memory_hotplug: deobfuscate migration part of offlining</title>

<content type='text'>
Memory migration might fail during offlining and we keep retrying in that
case.  This is currently obfuscated by goto retry loop.  The code is hard
to follow and as a result it is even suboptimal becase each retry round
scans the full range from start_pfn even though we have successfully
scanned/migrated [start_pfn, pfn] range already.  This is all only because
check_pages_isolated failure has to rescan the full range again.

De-obfuscate the migration retry loop by promoting it to a real for loop.
In fact remove the goto altogether by making it a proper double loop
(yeah, gotos are nasty in this specific case).  In the end we will get a
slightly more optimal code which is better readable.
