There are several places that allocate memory for the memory map:
alloc_node_mem_map() for FLATMEM, sparse_buffer_init() and
__populate_section_memmap() for SPARSEMEM.

The memory allocated in the FLATMEM case is zeroed and it is never
poisoned, regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting.

The memory allocated in the SPARSEMEM cases is not zeroed and it is
implicitly poisoned inside memblock if CONFIG_PAGE_POISON is set.

Introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper for memblock allocators that will be used
for both FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM cases and will makei memory map zeroing and
poisoning consistent for different memory models.

Clarify pgdat_to_phys() by testing if
pgdat == &amp;contig_page_data when CONFIG_NUMA=n.

We only expect contig_page_data in such case, so we
use &amp;contig_page_data directly instead of pgdat.

No functional change intended when CONFIG_BUG_VM=n.

Comment from Mark [1]:
"
... and I reckon it'd be clearer and more robust to define
pgdat_to_phys() in the same ifdefs as contig_page_data so
that these, stay in-sync. e.g. have:

| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x)	virt_to_phys(x)
| #else /* CONFIG_NUMA */
|
| extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data;
| ...
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x)	__pa_symbol(&amp;contig_page_data)
|
| #endif /* CONIFIG_NUMA */

cppcheck warns that we're possibly losing information by shifting an int.
It's a false positive, because we don't allow for a NUMA node ID that
large, but if we ever change SECTION_NID_SHIFT, it could become a problem,
and in any case this is usually a legitimate warning.  Fix it by adding
the necessary cast, which makes the compiler generate the right code.

Patch series "mm: sparse: remove __section_nr() function", v4.

This patch (of 3):

With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME enabled, __section_nr() which converts
mem_section to section_nr could be costly since it iterates all section
roots to check if the given mem_section is in its range.

Since both callers of section_mark_present already know section_nr, let's
also pass section_nr as well as mem_section in order to reduce costly
translation.

Patch series "Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page", v23.

This patch series will free some vmemmap pages(struct page structures)
associated with each HugeTLB page when preallocated to save memory.

In order to reduce the difficulty of the first version of code review.  In
this version, we disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this feature
was enabled.  This acutely eliminates a bunch of the complex code doing
page table manipulation.  When this patch series is solid, we cam add the
code of vmemmap page table manipulation in the future.

The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
page frame.  By default, there is an one-to-one mapping from a page frame
to it's corresponding page struct.

The HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is
supported by many architectures.  See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation
directory for more details.  On the x86 architecture, HugeTLB pages of
size 2MB and 1GB are currently supported.  Since the base page size on x86
is 4KB, a 2MB HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB
page consists of 4096 base pages.  For each base page, there is a
corresponding page struct.

Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
contain unique information about a HugeTLB page.  HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
provides this upper limit.  The only 'useful' information in the remaining
page structs is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for
all tail pages.

By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can returned
to the buddy allocator for other uses.

When the system boot up, every 2M HugeTLB has 512 struct page structs which
size is 8 pages(sizeof(struct page) * 512 / PAGE_SIZE).

    HugeTLB                  struct pages(8 pages)         page frame(8 pages)

 |           |
 |           |
 |           |
 +-----------+

The value of page-&gt;compound_head is the same for all tail pages.  The
first page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page
contains the 4 page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB.  The only
use of the remaining pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point
to page-&gt;compound_head.  Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1.
Only 2 pages of page structs will be used for each HugeTLB page.  This
will allow us to free the remaining 6 pages to the buddy allocator.

Here is how things look after remapping.

When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages
for vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.

Apart from 2MB HugeTLB page, we also have 1GB HugeTLB page.  It is similar
to the 2MB HugeTLB page.  We also can use this approach to free the
vmemmap pages.

In this case, for the 1GB HugeTLB page, we can save 4094 pages.  This is a
very substantial gain.  On our server, run some SPDK/QEMU applications
which will use 1024GB HugeTLB page.  With this feature enabled, we can
save ~16GB (1G hugepage)/~12GB (2MB hugepage) memory.

Because there are vmemmap page tables reconstruction on the
freeing/allocating path, it increases some overhead.  Here are some
overhead analysis.

1) Allocating 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages.

   a) With this patch series applied:

   Summarize: this feature is about ~2x slower than before.

2) Freeing 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages.

   Summary: The overhead of __free_hugepage is about ~2-3x slower than before.

Although the overhead has increased, the overhead is not significant.
Like Mike said, "However, remember that the majority of use cases create
HugeTLB pages at or shortly after boot time and add them to the pool.  So,
additional overhead is at pool creation time.  There is no change to
'normal run time' operations of getting a page from or returning a page to
the pool (think page fault/unmap)".

Despite the overhead and in addition to the memory gains from this series.
The following data is obtained by Joao Martins.  Very thanks to his
effort.

There's an additional benefit which is page (un)pinners will see an improvement
and Joao presumes because there are fewer memmap pages and thus the tail/head
pages are staying in cache more often.

Out of the box Joao saw (when comparing linux-next against linux-next +
this series) with gup_test and pinning a 16G HugeTLB file (with 1G pages):

	get_user_pages(): ~32k -&gt; ~9k
	unpin_user_pages(): ~75k -&gt; ~70k

Usually any tight loop fetching compound_head(), or reading tail pages
data (e.g.  compound_head) benefit a lot.  There's some unpinning
inefficiencies Joao was fixing[2], but with that in added it shows even
more:

	unpin_user_pages(): ~27k -&gt; ~3.8k

This patch (of 9):

Move bootmem info registration common API to individual bootmem_info.c.
And we will use {get,put}_page_bootmem() to initialize the page for the
vmemmap pages or free the vmemmap pages to buddy in the later patch.  So
move them out of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE.  This is just code movement
without any functional change.

Patch series "Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page", v23.

This patch series will free some vmemmap pages(struct page structures)
associated with each HugeTLB page when preallocated to save memory.

In order to reduce the difficulty of the first version of code review.  In
this version, we disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this feature
was enabled.  This acutely eliminates a bunch of the complex code doing
page table manipulation.  When this patch series is solid, we cam add the
code of vmemmap page table manipulation in the future.

The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
page frame.  By default, there is an one-to-one mapping from a page frame
to it's corresponding page struct.

The HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is
supported by many architectures.  See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation
directory for more details.  On the x86 architecture, HugeTLB pages of
size 2MB and 1GB are currently supported.  Since the base page size on x86
is 4KB, a 2MB HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB
page consists of 4096 base pages.  For each base page, there is a
corresponding page struct.

Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
contain unique information about a HugeTLB page.  HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
provides this upper limit.  The only 'useful' information in the remaining
page structs is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for
all tail pages.

By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can returned
to the buddy allocator for other uses.

When the system boot up, every 2M HugeTLB has 512 struct page structs which
size is 8 pages(sizeof(struct page) * 512 / PAGE_SIZE).

 +-----------+

The value of page-&gt;compound_head is the same for all tail pages.  The
first page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page
contains the 4 page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB.  The only
use of the remaining pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point
to page-&gt;compound_head.  Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1.
Only 2 pages of page structs will be used for each HugeTLB page.  This
will allow us to free the remaining 6 pages to the buddy allocator.

Here is how things look after remapping.

When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages
for vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.

Apart from 2MB HugeTLB page, we also have 1GB HugeTLB page.  It is similar
to the 2MB HugeTLB page.  We also can use this approach to free the
vmemmap pages.

In this case, for the 1GB HugeTLB page, we can save 4094 pages.  This is a
very substantial gain.  On our server, run some SPDK/QEMU applications
which will use 1024GB HugeTLB page.  With this feature enabled, we can
save ~16GB (1G hugepage)/~12GB (2MB hugepage) memory.

Because there are vmemmap page tables reconstruction on the
freeing/allocating path, it increases some overhead.  Here are some
overhead analysis.

1) Allocating 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages.

   a) With this patch series applied:

<content type='text'>
After removal of DISCINTIGMEM the NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and NUMA
configuration options are equivalent.

Drop CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and use CONFIG_NUMA instead.

Done with

	$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/CONFIG_NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
	$ sed -i 's/NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)

with manual tweaks afterwards.

I see a "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address" warning from
check_usemap_section_nr() on arm64 platforms.

In current implementation of NODE_DATA, if CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y,
pglist_data is dynamically allocated and assigned to node_data[].

For example, in arch/arm64/include/asm/mmzone.h:

  extern struct pglist_data *node_data[];
  #define NODE_DATA(nid)          (node_data[(nid)])

If CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=n, pglist_data is defined as a global
variable named "contig_page_data".

For example, in include/linux/mmzone.h:

  extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data;
  #define NODE_DATA(nid)          (&amp;contig_page_data)

If CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not enabled, __pa() can handle both
dynamically allocated linear addresses and symbol addresses.  However,
if (CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y &amp;&amp; CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=n) we can see
the "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address" warning because that
&amp;contig_page_data is not a linear address on arm64.

Warning message:

<title>mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range</title>

<id>a08a2ae3461383c2d50d0997dcc6cd1dd1fefb08</id>
<content type='text'>
Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section.  Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.

This has some disadvantages:
 a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
    (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
    This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
    the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
    it is onlined.
 b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
    which has performance drawbacks.
 c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
    populated with base pages.

This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory.  That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables.  This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.

There are some non-obviously things to consider though.

Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed.  This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used.  The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns.  The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined.  For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g.  vmemmap
page tables).

The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory).  That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.

As per above, the functions that are introduced are:

 - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
   Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
   kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
   fully span.

 - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
   Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
   range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
   kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.

The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages().  Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().  Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.

On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages().  This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty.  If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages.  If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().

Hot-remove:

 We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
 removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
 To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
 memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
 vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
 block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.

 If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
 we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
 thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section.  Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.

This has some disadvantages:
 a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
    (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
    This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
    the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
    it is onlined.
 b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
    which has performance drawbacks.
 c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
    populated with base pages.

This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory.  That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables.  This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.

There are some non-obviously things to consider though.

Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed.  This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used.  The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns.  The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined.  For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g.  vmemmap
page tables).

The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory).  That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.

As per above, the functions that are introduced are:

 - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
   Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
   kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
   fully span.

 - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
   Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
   range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
   kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.

The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages().  Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().  Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.

On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages().  This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty.  If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages.  If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().

Hot-remove:

 We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
 removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
 To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
 memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
 vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
 block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.

 If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
 we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
 thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.
