<content type='text'>
In a system supporting MTE, the linear map must allow reading/writing
allocation tags by setting the memory type as Normal Tagged. Currently,
this is only handled for memory present at boot. Hotplugged memory uses
Normal non-Tagged memory.

Introduce pgprot_mhp() for hotplugged memory and use it in
add_memory_resource(). The arm64 code maps pgprot_mhp() to
pgprot_tagged().

Note that ZONE_DEVICE memory should not be mapped as Tagged and
therefore setting the memory type in arch_add_memory() is not feasible.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: prevalidate the address range being added with platform</title>

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Pre-validate the address range with platform", v5.

This series adds a mechanism allowing platforms to weigh in and
prevalidate incoming address range before proceeding further with the
memory hotplug.  This helps prevent potential platform errors for the
given address range, down the hotplug call chain, which inevitably fails
the hotplug itself.

This mechanism was suggested by David Hildenbrand during another
discussion with respect to a memory hotplug fix on arm64 platform.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1600332402-30123-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

This mechanism focuses on the addressibility aspect and not [sub] section
alignment aspect.  Hence check_hotplug_memory_range() and check_pfn_span()
have been left unchanged.

This patch (of 4):

This introduces mhp_range_allowed() which can be called in various memory
hotplug paths to prevalidate the address range which is being added, with
the platform.  Then mhp_range_allowed() calls mhp_get_pluggable_range()
which provides applicable address range depending on whether linear
mapping is required or not.  For ranges that require linear mapping, it
calls a new arch callback arch_get_mappable_range() which the platform can
override.  So the new callback, in turn provides the platform an
opportunity to configure acceptable memory hotplug address ranges in case
there are constraints.

This mechanism will help prevent platform specific errors deep down during
hotplug calls.  This drops now redundant
check_hotplug_memory_addressable() check in __add_pages() but instead adds
a VM_BUG_ON() check which would ensure that the range has been validated
with mhp_range_allowed() earlier in the call chain.  Besides
mhp_get_pluggable_range() also can be used by potential memory hotplug
callers to avail the allowed physical range which would go through on a
given platform.

This does not really add any new range check in generic memory hotplug but
instead compensates for lost checks in arch_add_memory() where applicable
and check_hotplug_memory_addressable(), with unified mhp_range_allowed().

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: make pagemap_range() return -EINVAL when mhp_range_allowed() fails]

Commit 108bcc96ef70 ("mm: add &amp; use zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()")
introduced the helper zone_end_pfn() to calculate the zone end pfn.  But
update_pgdat_span() forgot to use it.

Use this helper and rename local variable zone_end_pfn to end_pfn to avoid
a naming conflict with the existing zone_end_pfn().

<title>mm: teach pfn_to_online_page() about ZONE_DEVICE section collisions</title>
<updated>2021-02-26T17:41:00+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=1f90a3477df3ff1a91e064af554cdc887c8f9e5e'/>
<id>1f90a3477df3ff1a91e064af554cdc887c8f9e5e</id>
<content type='text'>
While pfn_to_online_page() is able to determine pfn_valid() at subsection
granularity it is not able to reliably determine if a given pfn is also
online if the section is mixes ZONE_{NORMAL,MOVABLE} with ZONE_DEVICE.
This means that pfn_to_online_page() may return invalid @page objects.
For example with a memory map like:

100000000-1fbffffff : System RAM
  142000000-143002e16 : Kernel code
  143200000-143713fff : Kernel rodata
  143800000-143b15b7f : Kernel data
  144227000-144ffffff : Kernel bss
1fc000000-2fbffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
  1fc000000-2fbffffff : namespace0.0

This command:

echo 0x1fc000000 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page

...succeeds when it should fail.  When it succeeds it touches an
uninitialized page and may crash or cause other damage (see
dissolve_free_huge_page()).

While the memory map above is contrived via the memmap=ss!nn kernel
command line option, the collision happens in practice on shipping
platforms.  The memory controller resources that decode spans of physical
address space are a limited resource.  One technique platform-firmware
uses to conserve those resources is to share a decoder across 2 devices to
keep the address range contiguous.  Unfortunately the unit of operation of
a decoder is 64MiB while the Linux section size is 128MiB.  This results
in situations where, without subsection hotplug memory mappings with
different lifetimes collide into one object that can only express one
lifetime.

Update move_pfn_range_to_zone() to flag (SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE) a
section that mixes ZONE_DEVICE pfns with other online pfns.  With
SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE to delineate, pfn_to_online_page() can fall back
to a slow-path check for ZONE_DEVICE pfns in an online section.  In the
fast path online_section() for a full ZONE_DEVICE section returns false.

Because the collision case is rare, and for simplicity, the
SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE flag is never cleared once set.

While pfn_to_online_page() is able to determine pfn_valid() at subsection
granularity it is not able to reliably determine if a given pfn is also
online if the section is mixes ZONE_{NORMAL,MOVABLE} with ZONE_DEVICE.
This means that pfn_to_online_page() may return invalid @page objects.
For example with a memory map like:

100000000-1fbffffff : System RAM
  142000000-143002e16 : Kernel code
  143200000-143713fff : Kernel rodata
  143800000-143b15b7f : Kernel data
  144227000-144ffffff : Kernel bss
1fc000000-2fbffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
  1fc000000-2fbffffff : namespace0.0

This command:

echo 0x1fc000000 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page

...succeeds when it should fail.  When it succeeds it touches an
uninitialized page and may crash or cause other damage (see
dissolve_free_huge_page()).

While the memory map above is contrived via the memmap=ss!nn kernel
command line option, the collision happens in practice on shipping
platforms.  The memory controller resources that decode spans of physical
address space are a limited resource.  One technique platform-firmware
uses to conserve those resources is to share a decoder across 2 devices to
keep the address range contiguous.  Unfortunately the unit of operation of
a decoder is 64MiB while the Linux section size is 128MiB.  This results
in situations where, without subsection hotplug memory mappings with
different lifetimes collide into one object that can only express one
lifetime.

Update move_pfn_range_to_zone() to flag (SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE) a
section that mixes ZONE_DEVICE pfns with other online pfns.  With
SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE to delineate, pfn_to_online_page() can fall back
to a slow-path check for ZONE_DEVICE pfns in an online section.  In the
fast path online_section() for a full ZONE_DEVICE section returns false.

Because the collision case is rare, and for simplicity, the
SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE flag is never cleared once set.

<title>mm: teach pfn_to_online_page() to consider subsection validity</title>

pfn_to_online_page is primarily used to filter out offline or fully
uninitialized pages.  pfn_valid resp.  online_section_nr have a coarse
per memory section granularity.  If a section shared with a partially
offline memory (e.g.  part of ZONE_DEVICE) then pfn_to_online_page
would lead to a false positive on some pfns.  Fix this by adding
pfn_section_valid check which is subsection aware.

Patch series "mm: Fix pfn_to_online_page() with respect to ZONE_DEVICE", v4.

A pfn-walker that uses pfn_to_online_page() may inadvertently translate a
pfn as online and in the page allocator, when it is offline managed by a
ZONE_DEVICE mapping (details in Patch 3: ("mm: Teach pfn_to_online_page()
about ZONE_DEVICE section collisions")).

The 2 proposals under consideration are teach pfn_to_online_page() to be
precise in the presence of mixed-zone sections, or teach the memory-add
code to drop the System RAM associated with ZONE_DEVICE collisions.  In
order to not regress memory capacity by a few 10s to 100s of MiB the
approach taken in this set is to add precision to pfn_to_online_page().

In the course of validating pfn_to_online_page() a couple other fixes
fell out:

1/ soft_offline_page() fails to drop the reference taken in the
   madvise(..., MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) case.

2/ memory_failure() uses get_dev_pagemap() to lookup ZONE_DEVICE pages,
   however that mapping may contain data pages and metadata raw pfns.
   Introduce pgmap_pfn_valid() to delineate the 2 types and fail the
   handling of raw metadata pfns.

This patch (of 4);

pfn_to_online_page() is already too large to be a macro or an inline
function.  In anticipation of further logic changes / growth, move it out
of line.

No functional change, just code movement.

<title>hugetlb: convert page_huge_active() HPageMigratable flag</title>

<content type='text'>
Use the new hugetlb page specific flag HPageMigratable to replace the
page_huge_active interfaces.  By it's name, page_huge_active implied that
a huge page was on the active list.  However, that is not really what code
checking the flag wanted to know.  It really wanted to determine if the
huge page could be migrated.  This happens when the page is actually added
to the page cache and/or task page table.  This is the reasoning behind
the name change.

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls in the *_huge_active() interfaces are not
really necessary as we KNOW the page is a hugetlb page.  Therefore, they
are removed.

The routine page_huge_active checked for PageHeadHuge before testing the
active bit.  This is unnecessary in the case where we hold a reference or
lock and know it is a hugetlb head page.  page_huge_active is also called
without holding a reference or lock (scan_movable_pages), and can race
with code freeing the page.  The extra check in page_huge_active shortened
the race window, but did not prevent the race.  Offline code calling
scan_movable_pages already deals with these races, so removing the check
is acceptable.  Add comment to racy code.

actually memmap_init() does the memmap init of one zone.  So rename both
