Let's make sure that all memory holes are actually marked PageReserved(),
that page_to_pfn() produces reliable results, and that these pages are not
detected as "mmap" pages due to the mapcount.

E.g., booting a x86-64 QEMU guest with 4160 MB:

[    0.010585] Early memory node ranges
[    0.010586]   node   0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff]
[    0.010588]   node   0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdefff]
[    0.010589]   node   0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000143ffffff]

max_pfn is 0x144000.

Before this change:

[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000,
             flags      page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000000000800           16384       64  ___________M_______________________________        mmap
             total           16384       64

After this change:

[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000,
             flags      page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000100000000           16384       64  ___________________________r_______________        reserved
             total           16384       64

IOW, especially the unavailable physical memory ("memory hole") in the
last section would not get properly marked PageReserved() and is indicated
to be "mmap" memory.

Drop the trace of that function from include/linux/mm.h - nobody else
needs it, and rename it accordingly.

Note: The fake zone/node might not be covered by the zone/node span.  This
is not an urgent issue (for now, we had the same node/zone due to the
zeroing).  We'll need a clean way to mark memory holes (e.g., using a page
type PageHole() if possible or a fake ZONE_INVALID) and eventually stop
marking these memory holes PageReserved().

The check was intended to make sure we don't overrun page flags.  But
it's obsolete because it doesn't include LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH nor
KASAN_TAG_WIDTH.

Just remove check since we already have it covered in
linux/page-flags-layout.h (near the end of the file).

In order to provide a clearer, more symmetric API for pinning and
unpinning DMA pages.  This way, pin_user_pages*() calls match up with
unpin_user_pages*() calls, and the API is a lot closer to being
self-explanatory.

<title>mm/gup: introduce pin_user_pages*() and FOLL_PIN</title>

<id>eddb1c228f7951d399240a0cc57455dccc7f8777</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and
also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.

For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are
converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API.

These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also
introduced, and thoroughly documented.

    pin_user_pages()
    pin_user_pages_remote()
    pin_user_pages_fast()

All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via
put_user_page().

The underlying rules are:

* FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly
  set it.  That behavior is enforced with assertions.

* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO
  ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a
  get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN.  These wrappers
  will:

    * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages".  That
      makes it easy to find and audit the call sites.

    * Set FOLL_PIN

* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned
  via put_user_page().

Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in
this documentation.  (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)

Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and
also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.

For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are
converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API.

These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also
introduced, and thoroughly documented.

    pin_user_pages()
    pin_user_pages_remote()
    pin_user_pages_fast()

All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via
put_user_page().

The underlying rules are:

* FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly
  set it.  That behavior is enforced with assertions.

* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO
  ("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a
  get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN.  These wrappers
  will:

    * Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages".  That
      makes it easy to find and audit the call sites.

    * Set FOLL_PIN

* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned
  via put_user_page().

<title>mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pages</title>
<updated>2020-01-31T18:30:37+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=07d8026995287c2a2f03e28c69cdd8152fa69107'/>
<id>07d8026995287c2a2f03e28c69cdd8152fa69107</id>
<content type='text'>
An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and especially
the "put page" aspects of it.  In order to keep everything clean,
refactor the devmap page release routines:

* Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(), and
  limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool, with no side
  effects.

* Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle decrementing
  the refcount for ZONE_DEVICE pages.

* Change callers (just release_pages() and put_page()) to check
  page_is_devmap_managed() before calling the new
  put_devmap_managed_page() routine.  This is a performance point:
  put_page() is a hot path, so we need to avoid non- inline function calls
  where possible.

* Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(), and
  limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap page.

This is originally based on a separate patch by Ira Weiny, which applied
to an early version of the put_user_page() experiments.  Since then,
Jérôme Glisse suggested the refactoring described above.
