Patch series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

This series provides "memmap on memory" support on s390 platform.  "memmap
on memory" allows struct pages array to be allocated from the hotplugged
memory range instead of allocating it from main system memory.

s390 currently preallocates struct pages array for all potentially
possible memory, which ensures memory onlining always succeeds, but with
the cost of significant memory consumption from the available system
memory during boottime.  In certain extreme configuration, this could lead
to ipl failure.

"memmap on memory" ensures struct pages array are populated from self
contained hotplugged memory range instead of depleting the available
system memory and this could eliminate ipl failure on s390 platform.

On other platforms, system might go OOM when the physically hotplugged
memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined.  Hence, "memmap
on memory" feature was introduced as described in commit a08a2ae34613
("mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range").

Unlike other architectures, s390 memory blocks are not physically
accessible until it is online.  To make it physically accessible two new
memory notifiers MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE / MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE are added and
this notifier lets the hypervisor inform that the memory should be made
physically accessible.  This allows for "memmap on memory" initialization
during memory hotplug onlining phase, which is performed before calling
MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier.

Patch 1 introduces MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers
to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state.  New mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced to ensure
altmap cannot be written when adding memory - before it is set online. 
This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on memory"
feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.

Patches 2 allocates vmemmap pages from self-contained memory range for
s390.  It allocates memory map (struct pages array) from the hotplugged
memory range, rather than using system memory by passing altmap to vmemmap
functions.

Patch 3 removes unhandled memory notifier types on s390.

Patch 4 implements MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers
on s390.  MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block physical
accessible via sclp assign command.  The notifier ensures self-contained
memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap on memory" on
s390.  MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory block to an
inaccessible state via sclp unassign command.

Patch 5 finally enables MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY on s390.


This patch (of 5):

Introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers to
prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state.  This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on
memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.

Platforms such as x86 can support physical memory hotplug via ACPI.  When
there is physical memory hotplug, ACPI event leads to the memory addition
with the following callchain:

acpi_memory_device_add()
  -&gt; acpi_memory_enable_device()
     -&gt; __add_memory()

After this, the hotplugged memory is physically accessible, and altmap
support prepared, before the "memmap on memory" initialization in
memory_block_online() is called.

On s390, memory hotplug works in a different way.  The available hotplug
memory has to be defined upfront in the hypervisor, but it is made
physically accessible only when the user sets it online via sysfs,
currently in the MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier.  This is too late and "memmap
on memory" initialization is performed before calling MEM_GOING_ONLINE
notifier.

During the memory hotplug addition phase, altmap support is prepared and
during the memory onlining phase s390 requires memory to be physically
accessible and then subsequently initiate the "memmap on memory"
initialization process.

The memory provider will handle new MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE /
MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifications and make the memory accessible.

The mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced and is relevant when
used along with MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY, because the altmap cannot be written
(e.g., poisoned) when adding memory -- before it is set online.  This
allows for adding memory with an altmap that is not currently made
available by a hypervisor.  When onlining that memory, the hypervisor can
be instructed to make that memory accessible via the new notifiers and the
onlining phase will not require any memory allocations, which is helpful
in low-memory situations.

All architectures ignore unknown memory notifiers.  Therefore, the
introduction of these new notifiers does not result in any functional
modifications across architectures.

<title>mm/sparsemem: fix race in accessing memory_section-&gt;usage</title>

<id>5ec8e8ea8b7783fab150cf86404fc38cb4db8800</id>
<content type='text'>
The below race is observed on a PFN which falls into the device memory
region with the system memory configuration where PFN's are such that
[ZONE_NORMAL ZONE_DEVICE ZONE_NORMAL].  Since normal zone start and end
pfn contains the device memory PFN's as well, the compaction triggered
will try on the device memory PFN's too though they end up in NOP(because
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for ZONE_DEVICE memory sections).  When
from other core, the section mappings are being removed for the
ZONE_DEVICE region, that the PFN in question belongs to, on which
compaction is currently being operated is resulting into the kernel crash
with CONFIG_SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled.  The crash logs can be seen at [1].

compact_zone()			memunmap_pages
-------------			---------------
__pageblock_pfn_to_page
   ......
 (a)pfn_valid():
     valid_section()//return true
			      (b)__remove_pages()-&gt;
				  sparse_remove_section()-&gt;
				    section_deactivate():
				    [Free the array ms-&gt;usage and set
				     ms-&gt;usage = NULL]
     pfn_section_valid()
     [Access ms-&gt;usage which
     is NULL]

NOTE: From the above it can be said that the race is reduced to between
the pfn_valid()/pfn_section_valid() and the section deactivate with
SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled.

The commit b943f045a9af("mm/sparse: fix kernel crash with
pfn_section_valid check") tried to address the same problem by clearing
the SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP with the expectation of valid_section() returns
false thus ms-&gt;usage is not accessed.

Fix this issue by the below steps:

a) Clear SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP before freeing the -&gt;usage.

b) RCU protected read side critical section will either return NULL
   when SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared or can successfully access -&gt;usage.

c) Free the -&gt;usage with kfree_rcu() and set ms-&gt;usage = NULL.  No
   attempt will be made to access -&gt;usage after this as the
   SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP is cleared thus valid_section() return false.

Thanks to David/Pavan for their inputs on this patch.

These parameters ms and map_offset are not used in

The __remove_section() is only called by __remove_pages(), remove it.  And
put the WARN_ON_ONCE() in sparse_remove_section().

<title>mm/hwpoison: introduce per-memory_block hwpoison counter</title>

<id>5033091de814ab4b5623faed2755f3064e19e2d2</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently PageHWPoison flag does not behave well when experiencing memory
hotremove/hotplug.  Any data field in struct page is unreliable when the
associated memory is offlined, and the current mechanism can't tell
whether a memory block is onlined because a new memory devices is
installed or because previous failed offline operations are undone. 
Especially if there's a hwpoisoned memory, it's unclear what the best
option is.

So introduce a new mechanism to make struct memory_block remember that a
memory block has hwpoisoned memory inside it.  And make any online event
fail if the onlining memory block contains hwpoison.  struct memory_block
is freed and reallocated over ACPI-based hotremove/hotplug, but not over
sysfs-based hotremove/hotplug.  So the new counter can distinguish these
cases.

is freed and reallocated over ACPI-based hotremove/hotplug, but not over
sysfs-based hotremove/hotplug.  So the new counter can distinguish these
cases.

Patch series "make hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with
memmap_on_memory", v3.

This series makes hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with
memmap_on_memory.


This patch (of 2):

We are almost running out of section flags, only one bit is available in
the worst case (powerpc with 256k pages).  However, there are still some
free bits (in -&gt;section_mem_map) on other architectures (e.g.  x86_64 has
10 bits available, arm64 has 8 bits available with worst case of 64K
pages).  We have hard coded those numbers in code, it is inconvenient to
use those bits on other architectures except powerpc.  So transfer those
section flags to enumeration to make it easy to add new section flags in
the future.  Also, move SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE into the scope of
CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE to save a bit on non-zone-device case.
