481ebd0d76 bootmem: fix aligning of node-relative indexes and offsets
Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative
offsets.  Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation on
an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of an
unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not garuanteed to
be aligned itself.

This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative
index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that the
absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the two
satisfies the requested alignment.

Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by these
helpers.

627240aaa9 bootmem allocator: alloc_bootmem_core(): page-align the end offset
This is the minimal sequence that jams the allocator:

void *p, *q, *r;
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
q = alloc_bootmem(64);
free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
r = alloc_bootmem(64);

after this sequence (assuming that the allocator was empty or page-aligned
before), pointer "q" will be equal to pointer "r".

What's hapenning inside the allocator:
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains bits 10000...
q = alloc_bootmem(64);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 11000...
free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 01000...
p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains 11000...
r = alloc_bootmem(64);

and now:

it finds bit "2", as a place where to allocate (sidx)

it hits the condition

if (bdata->last_end_off && PFN_DOWN(bdata->last_end_off) + 1 == sidx))
start_off = ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align);

-you can see that the condition is true, so it assigns start_off =
ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align); (that is PAGE_SIZE) and allocates
over already allocated block.

With the patch it tries to continue at the end of previous allocation only
if the previous allocation ended in the middle of the page.

75a56cfe9f bootmem: revisit alloc_bootmem_section
Since alloc_bootmem_core does no goal-fallback anymore and just returns
NULL if the allocation fails, we might now use it in alloc_bootmem_section
without all the fixup code for a misplaced allocation.

Also, the limit can be the first PFN of the next section as the semantics
is that the limit is _above_ the allocated region, not within.

0f3caba211 bootmem: respect goal more likely
The old node-agnostic code tried allocating on all nodes starting from the
one with the lowest range.  alloc_bootmem_core retried without the goal if
it could not satisfy it and so the goal was only respected at all when it
happened to be on the first (lowest page numbers) node (or theoretically
if allocations failed on all nodes before to the one holding the goal).

Introduce a non-panicking helper that starts allocating from the node
holding the goal and falls back only after all thes tries failed, thus
moving the goal fallback code out of alloc_bootmem_core.

Make all other allocation functions benefit from this new helper.

e2bf3cae51 bootmem: factor out the marking of a PFN range
Introduce new helpers that mark a range that resides completely on a node
or node-agnostic ranges that might also span node boundaries.

The free/reserve API functions will then directly use these helpers.

Note that the free/reserve semantics become more strict: while the prior
code took basically arbitrary range arguments and marked the PFNs that
happen to fall into that range, the new code requires node-specific ranges
to be completely on the node.  The node-agnostic requests might span node
boundaries as long as the nodes are contiguous.

Passing ranges that do not satisfy these criteria is a bug.

5f2809e69c bootmem: clean up alloc_bootmem_core
alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time.  This is a
clean rewrite that keeps the semantics.

bdata->last_pos has been dropped.

bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index
relative to the node's range.  Since further block searching might start
at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather
than its beginning.

bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that
it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the
node.

0475327876 memory hotplug: register section/node id to free
This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove.  Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem.  ex) memmap, etc.

To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance.  This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.

Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id).  When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it.  By this information, some issues can be
solved.

  1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
     section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
  2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
     same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
     logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
     page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
     be removed physically soon.
  3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
     kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
     before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
  4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
     memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
     Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
     just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
     removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
     (Not implemented yet.)
  5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
     will be able to be solved too by this.
     (Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)

Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.

This patch:

This is to register information which is node or section's id.  Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem.  This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

5a982cbc7b mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core
With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node.  This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.

For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.

With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.

This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.

And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case.  We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure.  So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.

72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

7c309a64d6 [PATCH] enable booting a NUMA system where some nodes have no memory
When booting a NUMA system with nodes that have no memory (eg by limiting
memory), bootmem_alloc_core tried to find pages in an uninitialized
bootmem_map.  This caused a null pointer access.  This fix adds a check, so
that NULL is returned.  That will enable the caller (bootmem_alloc_nopanic)
to alloc memory on other without a panic.

dfd54cbcc0 [PATCH] bootmem: use MAX_DMA_ADDRESS instead of LOW32LIMIT
Introduce ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT which can be set per architecture to
override the 4GB default limit used by the bootmem allocater within
__alloc_bootmem_low() and __alloc_bootmem_low_node().  E.g.  s390 needs a
2GB limit instead of 4GB.

a8062231d8 [PATCH] x86_64: Handle empty PXMs that only contain hotplug memory
The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node
itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there.

This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so
far empty node.

Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes.

And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node.

To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that
does what its name implies.

TBD should try to use nearby nodes here.  Currently we just use any.
It's hard to do it better because bootmem doesn't have proper fallback
lists yet.

Add a list_head to bootmem_data_t and make bootmems use it.  bootmem list is
sorted by node_boot_start.

Only nodes against which init_bootmem() is called are linked to the list.
(i386 allocates bootmem only from one node(0) not from all online nodes.)

A summary:
 1. for_each_online_pgdat() traverses all *online* nodes.
 2. alloc_bootmem() allocates memory only from initialized-for-bootmem nodes.

The attached patch cleans up the way the bootmem allocator frees pages.

A new function, __free_pages_bootmem(), is provided in mm/page_alloc.c that is
called from mm/bootmem.c to turn pages over to the main allocator.  All the
bits of code to initialise pages (clearing PG_reserved and setting the page
count) are moved to here.  The checks on page validity are removed, on the
assumption that the struct page arrays will have been prepared correctly.

66d43e98ea [PATCH] fix in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page in first node's memory
Hitting BUG_ON() in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page
available in the first node's memory.  For the case of kdump on PPC64
(Power 4 machine), the captured kernel is used two memory regions - memory
for TCE tables (tce-base and tce-size at top of RAM and reserved) and
captured kernel memory region (crashk_base and crashk_size).  Since we
reserve the memory for the first node, we should be returning from
__alloc_bootmem_core() to search for the next node (pg_dat).

Currently, find_next_zero_bit() is returning the n^th bit (eidx) when there
is no free page.  Then, test_bit() is failed since we set 0xff only for the
actual size initially (init_bootmem_core()) even though rounded up to one
page for bdata->node_bootmem_map.  We are hitting the BUG_ON after failing
to enter second "for" loop.

b5810039a5 [PATCH] core remove PageReserved
Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.

PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.

All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.

MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated.  We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).

Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.

Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not.  This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).

A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems.  There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

281dd25cdc [PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator.  But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages().  We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.

With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.
