Nowaday, set/unset_migratetype_isolate() is defined and used only in
mm/page_isolation, so let's limit the scope within the file.

Before describing bugs itself, I first explain definition of freepage.
1. pages on buddy list are counted as freepage.
2. pages on isolate migratetype buddy list are *not* counted as freepage.
3. pages on cma buddy list are counted as CMA freepage, too.
Now, I describe problems and related patch.
Patch 1: There is race conditions on getting pageblock migratetype that
it results in misplacement of freepages on buddy list, incorrect
freepage count and un-availability of freepage.
Patch 2: Freepages on pcp list could have stale cached information to
determine migratetype of buddy list to go. This causes misplacement of
freepages on buddy list and incorrect freepage count.
Patch 4: Merging between freepages on different migratetype of
pageblocks will cause freepages accouting problem. This patch fixes it.
Without patchset [3], above problem doesn't happens on my CMA allocation
test, because CMA reserved pages aren't used at all. So there is no
chance for above race.
With patchset [3], I did simple CMA allocation test and get below
result:
- Virtual machine, 4 cpus, 1024 MB memory, 256 MB CMA reservation
- run kernel build (make -j16) on background
- 30 times CMA allocation(8MB * 30 = 240MB) attempts in 5 sec interval
- Result: more than 5000 freepage count are missed
With patchset [3] and this patchset, I found that no freepage count are
missed so that I conclude that problems are solved.
On my simple memory offlining test, these problems also occur on that
environment, too.
This patch (of 4):
There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator,
__free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the
other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page().
Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this
patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch
will solve the problem in second type of freepath.
In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page
without holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases
of this race.
1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal
migratetype
CPU1 CPU2
get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE
call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE
grab the zone lock
unisolate pageblock
release the zone lock
grab the zone lock
call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE
freepage go into isolate buddy list,
although pageblock is already unisolated
This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore
until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on
isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong
due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy
list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are
counted as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy
list is inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration
of freepage accouting so it could be incorrect.
2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated.
It is similar with above case.
This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these
freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated,
freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be
allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as
case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting.
This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again
with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation and
it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much as
possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock in
struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock. With this, we can
avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do it only if there is
isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. This solve above
mentioned problems.
Changes from v3:
Add one more check in free_one_page() that checks whether migratetype is
MIGRATE_ISOLATE or not. Without this, abovementioned case 1 could happens.

Several functions test MIGRATE_ISOLATE and some of those are hotpath but
MIGRATE_ISOLATE is used only if we enable CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION(ie,
CMA, memory-hotplug and memory-failure) which are not common config
option. So let's not add unnecessary overhead and code when we don't
enable CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION.

hwpoisoned may be set when we offline a page by the sysfs interface
/sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page or
/sys/devices/system/memory/hard_offline_page. If we don't clear
this flag when onlining pages, this page can't be freed, and will
not in free list. So we can't offline these pages again. So we
should skip such page when offlining pages.

__alloc_contig_migrate_alloc() can be used by memory-hotplug so refactor
it out (move + rename as a common name) into page_isolation.c.

If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.
But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected. It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.
Suggested by Mel Gorman.

mm/page_alloc.c has some memory isolation functions but they are used only
when we enable CONFIG_{CMA|MEMORY_HOTPLUG|MEMORY_FAILURE}. So let's make
it configurable by new CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION so that it can reduce
binary size and we can check it simple by CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION, not if
defined CONFIG_{CMA|MEMORY_HOTPLUG|MEMORY_FAILURE}.

Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops.
This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this
- MIGRATE_TYPES increases.
- bitmap for migratetype is enlarged.
pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free.
By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not
a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages.
If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called,
- migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if
its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other
memory reclaiming works make progress.
- MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list.
- All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated.
To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(),
To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range().
Changes V6 -> V7
- removed unnecessary #ifdef
There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
