[ Upstream commit 8df1d0e4a265f25dc1e7e7624ccdbcb4a6630c89 ]

add_memory() currently does not take the device_hotplug_lock, however
is aleady called under the lock from
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
to synchronize against CPU hot-remove and similar.

In general, we should hold the device_hotplug_lock when adding memory to
synchronize against online/offline request (e.g.  from user space) - which
already resulted in lock inversions due to device_lock() and
mem_hotplug_lock - see 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory
hot-add deadlock").  add_memory()/add_memory_resource() will create memory
block devices, so this really feels like the right thing to do.

Holding the device_hotplug_lock makes sure that a memory block device
can really only be accessed (e.g. via .online/.state) from user space,
once the memory has been fully added to the system.

The lock is not held yet in
	drivers/xen/balloon.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
	drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c
	drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
So, let's either use the locked variants or take the lock.

Don't export add_memory_resource(), as it once was exported to be used by
XEN, which is never built as a module.  If somebody requires it, we also
have to export a locked variant (as device_hotplug_lock is never
exported).

[ Upstream commit 24feb47c5fa5b825efb0151f28906dfdad027e61 ]

If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary,
the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized.  This may lead
to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from
test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs
handlers.

Here are the the panic examples:
 CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y
 kernel parameter mem=2050M
 --------------------------
 page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned
 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))

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

[ Upstream commit efad4e475c312456edb3c789d0996d12ed744c13 ]

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:
   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.

commit b15c87263a69272423771118c653e9a1d0672caa upstream.

We have received a bug report that an injected MCE about faulty memory
prevents memory offline to succeed on 4.4 base kernel.  The underlying
reason was that the HWPoison page has an elevated reference count and the
migration keeps failing.  There are two problems with that.  First of all
it is dubious to migrate the poisoned page because we know that accessing
that memory is possible to fail.  Secondly it doesn't make any sense to
migrate a potentially broken content and preserve the memory corruption
over to a new location.

Oscar has found out that 4.4 and the current upstream kernels behave
slightly differently with his simply testcase

And that latter confuses the hotremove path because an LRU page is
attempted to be migrated and that fails due to an elevated reference
count.  It is quite possible that the reuse of the HWPoisoned page is some
kind of fixed race condition but I am not really sure about that.

With the upstream kernel the failure is slightly different.  The page
doesn't seem to have LRU bit set but isolate_movable_page simply fails and
do_migrate_range simply puts all the isolated pages back to LRU and
therefore no progress is made and scan_movable_pages finds same set of
pages over and over again.

Fix both cases by explicitly checking HWPoisoned pages before we even try
to get reference on the page, try to unmap it if it is still mapped.  As
explained by Naoya:

: Hwpoison code never unmapped those for no big reason because
: Ksm pages never dominate memory, so we simply didn't have strong
: motivation to save the pages.

Also put WARN_ON(PageLRU) in case there is a race and we can hit LRU
HWPoison pages which shouldn't happen but I couldn't convince myself about
that.  Naoya has noted the following:

: Theoretically no such gurantee, because try_to_unmap() doesn't have a
: guarantee of success and then memory_failure() returns immediately
: when hwpoison_user_mappings fails.
: Or the following code (comes after hwpoison_user_mappings block) also impli=
: es
: that the target page can still have PageLRU flag.
:
:         /*
:          * Torn down by someone else?
:          */
:         if (PageLRU(p) &amp;&amp; !PageSwapCache(p) &amp;&amp; p-&gt;mapping =3D=3D NULL) {
:                 action_result(pfn, MF_MSG_TRUNCATED_LRU, MF_IGNORED);
:                 res =3D -EBUSY;
:                 goto out;
:         }
:
: So I think it's OK to keep "if (WARN_ON(PageLRU(page)))" block in

commit b15c87263a69272423771118c653e9a1d0672caa upstream.

We have received a bug report that an injected MCE about faulty memory
prevents memory offline to succeed on 4.4 base kernel.  The underlying
reason was that the HWPoison page has an elevated reference count and the
migration keeps failing.  There are two problems with that.  First of all
it is dubious to migrate the poisoned page because we know that accessing
that memory is possible to fail.  Secondly it doesn't make any sense to
migrate a potentially broken content and preserve the memory corruption
over to a new location.

Oscar has found out that 4.4 and the current upstream kernels behave
slightly differently with his simply testcase

===

int main(void)
{
        int ret;
        int i;
        int fd;
        char *array = malloc(4096);
        char *array_locked = malloc(4096);

        fd = open("/tmp/data", O_RDONLY);
        read(fd, array, 4095);

        for (i = 0; i &lt; 4096; i++)
                array_locked[i] = 'd';

        ret = mlock((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), sizeof(array_locked));
        if (ret)
                perror("mlock");

        sleep (20);

        ret = madvise((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), 4096, MADV_HWPOISON);
        if (ret)
                perror("madvise");

        for (i = 0; i &lt; 4096; i++)
                array_locked[i] = 'd';

        return 0;

[ Upstream commit d6d8c8a48291b929b2e039f220f0b62958cccfea ]

When mainline introduced commit a96dfddbcc04 ("base/memory, hotplug: fix
a kernel oops in show_valid_zones()"), it obtained the valid start and
end pfn from the given pfn range.  The valid start pfn can fix the
actual issue, but it introduced another issue.  The valid end pfn will
may exceed the given end_pfn.

Although the incorrect overflow will not result in actual problem at
present, but I think it need to be fixed.

[ Upstream commit ddffe98d166f4a93d996d5aa628fd745311fc1e7 ]

To identify that pages of page table are allocated from bootmem
allocator, magic number sets to page-&gt;lru.next.

But page-&gt;lru list is initialized in reserve_bootmem_region().  So when
calling free_pagetable(), the function cannot find the magic number of
pages.  And free_pagetable() frees the pages by free_reserved_page() not
put_page_bootmem().

But if the pages are allocated from bootmem allocator and used as page
table, the pages have private flag.  So before freeing the pages, we
should clear the private flag by put_page_bootmem().

Before applying the commit 7bfec6f47bb0 ("mm, page_alloc: check multiple
page fields with a single branch"), we could find the following visible
issue:

  BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u1024:1
  page:ffffea103cfd8040 count:0 mapcount:0 mappi

commit a96dfddbcc04336bbed50dc2b24823e45e09e80c upstream.

Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160

This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB.  [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below.  0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range.  show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

commit deb88a2a19e85842d79ba96b05031739ec327ff4 upstream.

Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2.

A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when
the system has 64GiB or more memory.  [1] When the start address of a
memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e.  a memory range is not
aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a
kernel oops.  This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with
more than 64GiB of memory.  This patch-set fixes this issue.

Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not
test the start section.

Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone()
to return valid [start, end).

Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit
bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64
systems"), which was accepted to 3.9.  However, this patch-set depends
on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit
5f0f2887f4de ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in
test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4.

So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4.

[1] 'Commit bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on
    large-memory x86-64 systems")'

This patch (of 2):

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'.  Since this function
is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is
always aligned by section.

Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.

Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs
to a zone.

<title>memory_hotplug: make zone_can_shift() return a boolean value</title>

commit 8a1f780e7f28c7c1d640118242cf68d528c456cd upstream.

online_{kernel|movable} is used to change the memory zone to
ZONE_{NORMAL|MOVABLE} and online the memory.

To check that memory zone can be changed, zone_can_shift() is used.
Currently the function returns minus integer value, plus integer
value and 0. When the function returns minus or plus integer value,
it means that the memory zone can be changed to ZONE_{NORNAL|MOVABLE}.

But when the function returns 0, there are two meanings.

One of the meanings is that the memory zone does not need to be changed.
For example, when memory is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_kernel
the memory zone does not need to be changed.

Another meaning is that the memory zone cannot be changed. When memory
is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_movable, the memory zone may
not be changed to ZONE_MOVALBE due to memory online limitation(see
Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt). In this case, memory must not be
onlined.

The patch changes the return type of zone_can_shift() so that memory
online operation fails when memory zone cannot be changed as follows:

Before applying patch:
   # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
   Node 2, zone   Normal
   &lt;snip&gt;
      node_scanned  0
           spanned  8388608
           present  7864320
           managed  7864320
   # echo online_movable &gt; memory4097/state
   # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
   Node 2, zone   Normal
   &lt;snip&gt;
      node_scanned  0
           spanned  8388608
           present  8388608
           managed  8388608

   online_movable operation succeeded. But memory is onlined as
   ZONE_NORMAL, not ZONE_MOVABLE.

After applying patch:
   # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
   Node 2, zone   Normal
   &lt;snip&gt;
      node_scanned  0
           spanned  8388608
           present  7864320
           managed  7864320
   # echo online_movable &gt; memory4097/state
   bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
   # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
   Node 2, zone   Normal
   &lt;snip&gt;
      node_scanned  0
           spanned  8388608
           present  7864320
           managed  7864320

   online_movable operation failed because of failure of changing
   the memory zone from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE

When I removed the per-zone bitlock hashed waitqueues in commit
9dcb8b685fc3 ("mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues"), I
removed all the magic hotplug memory initialization of said waitqueues
too.

But when I actually _tested_ the resulting build, I stupidly assumed
that "allmodconfig" would enable memory hotplug.  And it doesn't,
because it enables KASAN instead, which then disables hotplug memory
support.

As a result, my build test of the per-zone waitqueues was totally
broken, and I didn't notice that the compiler warns about the now unused
iterator variable 'i'.

I guess I should be happy that that seems to be the worst breakage from
my clearly horribly failed test coverage.
