mm/vmap: Add a notifier for when we run out of vmap address space
and Linus' tree.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>
vmaps are temporary kernel mappings that may be of long duration.
Reusing a vmap on an object is preferrable for a driver as the cost of
setting up the vmap can otherwise dominate the operation on the object.
However, the vmap address space is rather limited on 32bit systems and
so we add a notification for vmap pressure in order for the driver to
release any cached vmappings.
The interface is styled after the oom-notifier where the callees are
passed a pointer to an unsigned long counter for them to indicate if they
have freed any space.
v2: Guard the blocking notifier call with gfpflags_allow_blocking()
v3: Correct typo in forward declaration and move to head of file

As CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC can be enabled/disabled via kernel parameters
we can optimize some cases by checking the enablement state.
This is follow-up work for Christian's Optimize CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/27/194
Remaining work is to make sparc to be aware of this but it looks not
easy for me so I skip that in this series.
This patch (of 5):
We can disable debug_pagealloc processing even if the code is complied
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This patch changes the code to query
whether it is enabled or not in runtime.

Commit 71394fe501 ("mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole
allocation") missed a spot. Currently remove_vm_area() decreases vm->size
to "remove" the guard hole page, even when it isn't present. All but one
users just free the vm_struct rigth away and never access vm->size anyway.
Don't touch the size in remove_vm_area() and have __vunmap() use the
proper get_vm_area_size() helper.

Andrew stated the following
We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using
weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend
to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the
interface.
And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as
a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and
decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff?
This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM
internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO
bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It
will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate
some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

It turns out that at least some versions of glibc end up reading
/proc/meminfo at every single startup, because glibc wants to know the
amount of memory the machine has. And while that's arguably insane,
it's just how things are.
And it turns out that it's not all that expensive most of the time, but
the vmalloc information statistics (amount of virtual memory used in the
vmalloc space, and the biggest remaining chunk) can be rather expensive
to compute.
The 'get_vmalloc_info()' function actually showed up on my profiles as
4% of the CPU usage of "make test" in the git source repository, because
the git tests are lots of very short-lived shell-scripts etc.
It turns out that apparently this same silly vmalloc info gathering
shows up on the facebook servers too, according to Dave Jones. So it's
not just "make test" for git.
We had two patches to just cache the information (one by me, one by
Ingo) to mitigate this issue, but the whole vmalloc information of of
rather dubious value to begin with, and people who *actually* want to
know what the situation is wrt the vmalloc area should just look at the
much more complete /proc/vmallocinfo instead.
In fact, according to my testing - and perhaps more importantly,
according to that big search engine in the sky: Google - there is
nothing out there that actually cares about those two expensive fields:
VmallocUsed and VmallocChunk.
So let's try to just remove them entirely. Actually, this just removes
the computation and reports the numbers as zero for now, just to try to
be minimally intrusive.
If this breaks anything, we'll obviously have to re-introduce the code
to compute this all and add the caching patches on top. But if given
the option, I'd really prefer to just remove this bad idea entirely
rather than add even more code to work around our historical mistake
that likely nobody really cares about.

In original implementation of vm_map_ram made by Nick Piggin there were
two bitmaps: alloc_map and dirty_map. None of them were used as supposed
to be: finding a suitable free hole for next allocation in block.
vm_map_ram allocates space sequentially in block and on free call marks
pages as dirty, so freed space can't be reused anymore.
Actually it would be very interesting to know the real meaning of those
bitmaps, maybe implementation was incomplete, etc.
But long time ago Zhang Yanfei removed alloc_map by these two commits:
mm/vmalloc.c: remove dead code in vb_alloc
3fcd76e802
mm/vmalloc.c: remove alloc_map from vmap_block
b8e748b6c3
In this patch I replaced dirty_map with two range variables: dirty min and
max. These variables store minimum and maximum position of dirty space in
a block, since we need only to know the dirty range, not exact position of
dirty pages.
Why it was made? Several reasons: at first glance it seems that
vm_map_ram allocator concerns about fragmentation thus it uses bitmaps for
finding free hole, but it is not true. To avoid complexity seems it is
better to use something simple, like min or max range values. Secondly,
code also becomes simpler, without iteration over bitmap, just comparing
values in min and max macros. Thirdly, bitmap occupies up to 1024 bits
(4MB is a max size of a block). Here I replaced the whole bitmap with two
longs.
Finally vm_unmap_aliases should be slightly faster and the whole
vmap_block structure occupies less memory.

Previous implementation allocates new vmap block and repeats search of a
free block from the very beginning, iterating over the CPU free list.
Why it can be better??
1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU.
In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to
CPU number on the system.
2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list
to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy
blocks which were allocated long time ago. Thus to find newly allocated
block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient.
In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of
virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat
the search sequence, allocation job is done.

Recently I came across high fragmentation of vm_map_ram allocator:
vmap_block has free space, but still new blocks continue to appear.
Further investigation showed that certain mapping/unmapping sequences
can exhaust vmalloc space. On small 32bit systems that's not a big
problem, cause purging will be called soon on a first allocation failure
(alloc_vmap_area), but on 64bit machines, e.g. x86_64 has 45 bits of
vmalloc space, that can be a disaster.
1) I came up with a simple allocation sequence, which exhausts virtual
space very quickly:
while (iters) {
/* Map/unmap big chunk */
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
/* Map/unmap small chunks.
*
* -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
* to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
}
}
The idea behind is simple:
1. We have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
2. Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller chunks, i.e.
8 pages. At the end small hole should remain to keep block in free list,
but do not let big chunk to occupy remaining space.
3. Goto 1 - allocation request of 16 pages can't be completed (only 8 slots
are left free in the block in the #2 step), new block will be allocated,
all further requests will lay into newly allocated block.
To have some measurement numbers for all further tests I setup ftrace and
enabled 4 basic calls in a function profile:
echo vm_map_ram > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo alloc_vmap_area >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo vm_unmap_ram >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo free_vmap_block >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
So for this scenario I got these results:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 126000 30683.30 us 0.243 us 30819.36 us

alloc_vmap_area 1000 4132.065 us 4.132 us 0.903 us

alloc_vmap_area 993 3916.795 us 3.944 us 29.370 us
free_vmap_block 992 654.157 us 0.659 us 1.273 us
SUMMARY:
The most interesting numbers in those tables are numbers of block
allocations and deallocations: alloc_vmap_area and free_vmap_block
calls, which show that before the change blocks were not freed, and
virtual space and physical memory (vmap_block structure allocations,
etc) were consumed.
Average time which were spent in vm_map_ram/vm_unmap_ram became slightly
better. That can be explained with a reasonable amount of blocks in a
free list, which we need to iterate to find a suitable free block.
2) Another scenario is a random allocation:
while (iters) {
/* Randomly take number from a range [1..32/64] */
nr = rand(1, VMAP_MAX_ALLOC);
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, nr, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, nr);
}
I chose mersenne twister PRNG to generate persistent random state to
guarantee that both runs have the same random sequence. For each
vm_map_ram call random number from [1..32/64] was taken to represent
amount of pages which I do map.
I did 10'000 vm_map_ram calls and got these two tables:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 10000 10170.01 us 1.017 us 993.609 us

alloc_vmap_area 420 2150.239 us 5.119 us 3.307 us
free_vmap_block 37 159.587 us 4.313 us 134.344 us
AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0

vm_unmap_ram 10000 5460.573 us 0.546 us 67.187 us
alloc_vmap_area 414 2201.650 us 5.317 us 5.591 us
free_vmap_block 412 574.421 us 1.394 us 15.138 us
SUMMARY:
'BEFORE' table shows, that 420 blocks were allocated and only 37 were
freed. Remained 383 blocks are still in a free list, consuming virtual
space and physical memory.
'AFTER' table shows, that 414 blocks were allocated and 412 were really
freed. 2 blocks remained in a free list.
So fragmentation was dramatically reduced. Why? Because when we put
newly allocated block to the head, all further requests will occupy new
block, regardless remained space in other blocks. In this scenario all
requests come randomly. Eventually remained free space will be less
than requested size, free list will be iterated and it is possible that
nothing will be found there - finally new block will be created. So
exhaustion in random scenario happens for the maximum possible
allocation size: 32 pages for 32-bit system and 64 pages for 64-bit
system.
Also average cost of vm_map_ram was reduced from 1.017 us to 0.774 us.
Again this can be explained by iteration through smaller list of free
blocks.
3) Next simple scenario is a sequential allocation, when the allocation
order is increased for each block. This scenario forces allocator to
reach maximum amount of partially free blocks in a free list:
while (iters) {
/* Populate free list with blocks with remaining space */
for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
nr = VMAP_BBMAP_BITS / (1 << order);
/* Leave a hole */
nr -= 1;
for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
}
/* Completely occupy blocks from a free list */
for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
}
}
Results which I got:

SUMMARY:
No surprises here, almost all numbers are the same.
Fixing this fragmentation problem I also did some improvements in a
allocation logic of a new vmap block: occupy block immediately and get
rid of extra search in a free list.
Also I replaced dirty bitmap with min/max dirty range values to make the
logic simpler and slightly faster, since two longs comparison costs
less, than loop thru bitmap.
This patchset raises several questions:
Q: Think the problem you comments is already known so that I wrote comments
about it as "it could consume lots of address space through fragmentation".
Could you tell me about your situation and reason why it should be avoided?
Gioh Kim
A: Indeed, there was a commit 364376383 which adds explicit comment about
fragmentation. But fragmentation which is described in this comment caused
by mixing of long-lived and short-lived objects, when a whole block is pinned
in memory because some page slots are still in use. But here I am talking
about blocks which are free, nobody uses them, and allocator keeps them alive
forever, continuously allocating new blocks.
Q: I think that if you put newly allocated block to the tail of a free
list, below example would results in enormous performance degradation.
new block: 1MB (256 pages)
while (iters--) {
vm_map_ram(3 or something else not dividable for 256) * 85
vm_unmap_ram(3) * 85
}
On every iteration, it needs newly allocated block and it is put to the
tail of a free list so finding it consumes large amount of time.
Joonsoo Kim
A: Second patch in current patchset gets rid of extra search in a free list,
so new block will be immediately occupied..
Also, the scenario above is impossible, cause vm_map_ram allocates virtual
range in orders, i.e. 2^n. I.e. passing 3 to vm_map_ram you will allocate
4 slots in a block and 256 slots (capacity of a block) of course dividable
on 4, so block will be completely occupied.
But there is a worst case which we can achieve: each free block has a hole
equal to order size.
The maximum size of allocation is 64 pages for 64-bit system
(if you try to map more, original alloc_vmap_area will be called).
So the maximum order is 6. That means that worst case, before allocator
makes a decision to allocate a new block, is to iterate 7 blocks:
HEAD
1st block - has 1 page slot free (order 0)
2nd block - has 2 page slots free (order 1)
3rd block - has 4 page slots free (order 2)
4th block - has 8 page slots free (order 3)

7th block - has 64 page slots free (order 6)
TAIL
So the worst scenario on 64-bit system is that each CPU queue can have 7
blocks in a free list.
This can happen only and only if you allocate blocks increasing the order.
(as I did in the function written in the comment of the first patch)
This is weird and rare case, but still it is possible. Afterwards you will
get 7 blocks in a list.
All further requests should be placed in a newly allocated block or some
free slots should be found in a free list.
Seems it does not look dramatically awful.
This patch (of 3):
If suitable block can't be found, new block is allocated and put into a
head of a free list, so on next iteration this new block will be found
first.
That's bad, because old blocks in a free list will not get a chance to be
fully used, thus fragmentation will grow.
Let's consider this simple example:
#1 We have one block in a free list which is partially used, and where only
one page is free:
HEAD |xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
^
free space for 1 page, order 0
#2 New allocation request of order 1 (2 pages) comes, new block is allocated
since we do not have free space to complete this request. New block is put
into a head of a free list:
HEAD |----------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
#3 Two pages were occupied in a new found block:
HEAD |xx--------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
^
two pages mapped here
#4 New allocation request of order 0 (1 page) comes. Block, which was created
on #2 step, is located at the beginning of a free list, so it will be found
first:
HEAD |xxX-------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
^ ^
page mapped here, but better to use this hole
It is obvious, that it is better to complete request of #4 step using the
old block, where free space is left, because in other case fragmentation
will be highly increased.
But fragmentation is not only the case. The worst thing is that I can
easily create scenario, when the whole vmalloc space is exhausted by
blocks, which are not used, but already dirty and have several free pages.
Let's consider this function which execution should be pinned to one CPU:
static void exhaust_virtual_space(struct page *pages[16], int iters)
{
/* Firstly we have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
* Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller
* chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain.
* So at the end of our allocation sequence block looks like
* this:
* XX big chunk
* |XXxxxxxxx-| x small chunk
* - hole, which is enough for a small chunk,
* but is not enough for a big chunk
*/
while (iters--) {
int i;
void *vaddr;
/* Map/unmap big chunk */
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
/* Map/unmap small chunks.
*
* -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
* to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
}
}
}
On every iteration new block (1MB of vm area in my case) will be
allocated and then will be occupied, without attempt to resolve small
allocation request using previously allocated blocks in a free list.
In case of random allocation (size should be randomly taken from the
range [1..64] in 64-bit case or [1..32] in 32-bit case) situation is the
same: new blocks continue to appear if maximum possible allocation size
(32 or 64) passed to the allocator, because all remaining blocks in a
free list do not have enough free space to complete this allocation
request.
In summary if new blocks are put into the head of a free list eventually
virtual space will be exhausted.
In current patch I simply put newly allocated block to the tail of a
free list, thus reduce fragmentation, giving a chance to resolve
allocation request using older blocks with possible holes left.

ioremap() and its related interfaces are used to create I/O mappings to
memory-mapped I/O devices. The mapping sizes of the traditional I/O
devices are relatively small. Non-volatile memory (NVM), however, has
many GB and is going to have TB soon. It is not very efficient to create
large I/O mappings with 4KB.
This patchset extends the ioremap() interfaces to transparently create I/O
mappings with huge pages whenever possible. ioremap() continues to use
4KB mappings when a huge page does not fit into a requested range. There
is no change necessary to the drivers using ioremap(). A requested
physical address must be aligned by a huge page size (1GB or 2MB on x86)
for using huge page mapping, though. The kernel huge I/O mapping will
improve performance of NVM and other devices with large memory, and reduce
the time to create their mappings as well.
On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When
using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page,
which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an
undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs
have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping
code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range
is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on
the PAT memory types.
The patchset introduces HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which indicates that the arch
supports huge KVA mappings for ioremap(). User may specify a new kernel
option "nohugeiomap" to disable the huge I/O mapping capability of
ioremap() when necessary.
Patch 1-4 change common files to support huge I/O mappings. There is no
change in the functinalities unless HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is defined on the
architecture of the system.
Patch 5-6 implement the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP funcs on x86, and set
HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP on x86.
This patch (of 6):
__get_vm_area_node() takes unsigned long size, which is a 64-bit value on
a 64-bit kernel. However, fls(size) simply ignores the upper 32-bit.
Change to use fls_long() to handle the size properly.

Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken.
Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no
longer used. vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its
freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it:
void vfree(const void *addr)
{
...
if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) {
struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred);
if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list))
schedule_work(&p->wq);
Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory.
Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow
before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash.
So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory. However, such
deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc().
Free shadow right before releasing vm area. At this point vfree()'d
memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations.
New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated
shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Richard Yao reported a month ago that his system have a trouble with
vmap_area_lock contention during performance analysis by /proc/meminfo.
Andrew asked why his analysis checks /proc/meminfo stressfully, but he
didn't answer it.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/10/416
Although I'm not sure that this is right usage or not, there is a
solution reducing vmap_area_lock contention with no side-effect. That
is just to use rcu list iterator in get_vmalloc_info().
rcu can be used in this function because all RCU protocol is already
respected by writers, since Nick Piggin commit db64fe0225 ("mm:
rewrite vmap layer") back in linux-2.6.28
Specifically :
insertions use list_add_rcu(),
deletions use list_del_rcu() and kfree_rcu().
Note the rb tree is not used from rcu reader (it would not be safe),
only the vmap_area_list has full RCU protection.
Note that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() already uses this rcu protection.
rcu_read_lock();
list_for_each_entry_rcu(va, &vmap_area_list, list) {
if (va->flags & VM_LAZY_FREE) {
if (va->va_start < *start)
*start = va->va_start;
if (va->va_end > *end)
*end = va->va_end;
nr += (va->va_end - va->va_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
list_add_tail(&va->purge_list, &valist);
va->flags |= VM_LAZY_FREEING;
va->flags &= ~VM_LAZY_FREE;
}
}
rcu_read_unlock();
Peter:
: While rcu list traversal over the vmap_area_list is safe, this may
: arrive at different results than the spinlocked version. The rcu list
: traversal version will not be a 'snapshot' of a single, valid instant
: of the entire vmap_area_list, but rather a potential amalgam of

Joonsoo:
: Yes, you are right, but I don't think that we should be strict here.

vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a
chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that
addresss space. So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily.
We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of
vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram().
Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests. So I
thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our
proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily.
On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space
for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation
for searching hole. It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast
mapping. And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit
machine.
Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life
object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life. If we
inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can
choose one according to the page lifetime.
Let's add some notice messages to user.

Despite the claim that the patch doesn't introduce any functional

The "no page" path behaves different now. Originally, vmalloc_to_page

returns pfn_to_page(0) which is not the same as NULL.
Simple test shows the difference.

Currently we are implementing vmalloc_to_pfn() as a wrapper around
vmalloc_to_page(), which is implemented as follow:
1. walks the page talbes to generates the corresponding pfn,
2. then converts the pfn to struct page,
3. returns it.
And vmalloc_to_pfn() re-wraps vmalloc_to_page() to get the pfn.
This seems too circuitous, so this patch reverses the way: implement
vmalloc_to_page() as a wrapper around vmalloc_to_pfn(). This makes
vmalloc_to_pfn() and vmalloc_to_page() slightly more efficient.
No functional change.

Commit 248ac0e194 ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap
blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to
the next vmap_area.va_start. This was creating an artificial reference
to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks.
This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and
reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference
to the vmalloc'ed object. The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has
been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the
object (for simpler calling sites).

introduced by d4033afdf8 ("mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list,
instead of vmlist, in vmallocinfo()").
However, !VM_VM_AREA also represents vmap_area is being tear down in
race window mentioned above. This patch fix it by don't dump any
information for !VM_VM_AREA case and also remove (VM_LAZY_FREE |
VM_LAZY_FREEING) check since they are not possible for !VM_VM_AREA case.

When searching a vmap area in the vmalloc space, we use (addr + size -
1) to check if the value is less than addr, which is an overflow. But
we assign (addr + size) to vmap_area->va_end.
So if we come across the below case:
(addr + size - 1) : not overflow
(addr + size) : overflow
we will assign an overflow value (e.g 0) to vmap_area->va_end, And this
will trigger BUG in __insert_vmap_area, causing system panic.
So using (addr + size) to check the overflow should be the correct
behaviour, not (addr + size - 1).

Space in a vmap block that was once allocated is considered dirty and
not made available for allocation again before the whole block is
recycled. The result is that free space within a vmap block is always
contiguous.
So if a vmap block has enough free space for allocation, the allocation
is impossible to fail. Thus, the fragmented block purging was never
invoked from vb_alloc(). So remove this dead code.

Now for insert_vmalloc_vm, it only calls the two functions:
- setup_vmalloc_vm: fill vm_struct and vmap_area instances
- clear_vm_unlist: clear VM_UNLIST bit in vm_struct->flags
So in __get_vm_area_node(), if VM_UNLIST bit unset in flags, that is the
else branch here, we don't need to clear VM_UNLIST bit for vm->flags since
this bit is obviously not set. That is to say, we could only call

We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc
space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory
allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF
note segment that exceeds 11-order block size.
Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of
remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space
range via vma.
Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so
the interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic.
This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space
range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on
/proc/vmcore case.
remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

Currently, __find_vmap_area searches for the kernel VM area starting at
a given address. This patch changes this behavior so that it searches
for the kernel VM area to which the address belongs. This change is
needed by remap_vmalloc_range_partial to be introduced in later patch
that receives any position of kernel VM area as target address.
This patch changes the condition (addr > va->va_start) to the equivalent
(addr >= va->va_end) by taking advantage of the fact that each kernel VM
area is non-overlapping.

So this patch exports them externally with small cleanup.

This patch is a preparatory step for removing vmlist entirely. For
above purpose, we change iterating a vmap_list codes to iterating a
vmap_area_list. It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing
should be noticed.
Using vmap_area_list in vmallocinfo() introduce ordering problem in SMP
system. In s_show(), we retrieve some values from vm_struct.
vm_struct's values is not fully setup when va->vm is assigned. Full
setup is notified by removing VM_UNLIST flag without holding a lock.
When we see that VM_UNLIST is removed, it is not ensured that vm_struct
has proper values in view of other CPUs. So we need smp_[rw]mb for
ensuring that proper values is assigned when we see that VM_UNLIST is
removed.
Therefore, this patch not only change a iteration list, but also add a
appropriate smp_[rw]mb to right places.

vmlist is lack of information about some areas in vmalloc address space.
For example, vm_map_ram() allocate area in vmalloc address space, but it
doesn't make a link with vmlist. To provide full information about
vmalloc address space is better idea, so we don't use va->vm and use
vmap_area directly. This makes get_vmalloc_info() more precise.

Now, when we hold a vmap_area_lock, va->vm can't be discarded. So we can
safely access to va->vm when iterating a vmap_area_list with holding a
vmap_area_lock. With this property, change iterating vmlist codes in
vread/vwrite() to iterating vmap_area_list.
There is a little difference relate to lock, because vmlist_lock is mutex,
but, vmap_area_lock is spin_lock. It may introduce a spinning overhead
during vread/vwrite() is executing. But, these are debug-oriented
functions, so this overhead is not real problem for common case.

Inserting and removing an entry to vmlist is linear time complexity, so
it is inefficient. Following patches will try to remove vmlist

For removing vmlist, iterating vmlist codes should be changed to
iterating a vmap_area_list. Before implementing that, we should make
sure that when we iterate a vmap_area_list, accessing to va->vm doesn't
cause a race condition. This patch ensure that when iterating a

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

If someone calls vb_alloc() (or vm_map_ram() for that matter) to allocate
0 bytes (0 pages), get_order() returns BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
and interesting stuff happens. So make debugging such problems easier and

There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole. Could be
simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list. More simpler and
efficient.
Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within
__insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of
vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list
walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk.
Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and
rounds for hours.

This patch changes dma-mapping subsystem to use generic vmalloc areas

of the consistent allocations and removes platform hacks and a lot of
duplicated code.
Atomic allocations are served from special pool preallocated on boot,
because vmalloc areas cannot be reliably created in atomic context.

The transfer of ->flags causes some of the static mapping virtual
addresses to be prematurely freed (before the mapping is removed) because
VM_LAZY_FREE gets "set" if tmp->flags has VM_IOREMAP set. This might
cause subsequent vmalloc/ioremap calls to fail because it might allocate
one of the freed virtual address ranges that aren't unmapped.
va->flags has different types of flags from tmp->flags. If a region with
VM_IOREMAP set is registered with vm_area_add_early(), it will be removed
by __purge_vmap_area_lazy().
Fix vmalloc_init() to correctly initialize vmap_area for the given

Commit f5252e00 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via
/proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after
it is fully initialised. Unfortunately, it did not check that
__vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area. In the event of
allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed
memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in
get_vmalloc_info().
This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within
__vmalloc_node_range. It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous
error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node()
before it called vfree in its failure path.

The existing vm_area_register_early() allows for early vmalloc space
allocation. However upcoming cleanups in the ARM architecture require
that some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved also very early.
The name "vm_area_register_early" would have been a good name for the
reservation part without the allocation. Since it is already in use with
different semantics, let's create vm_area_add_early() instead.
Both vm_area_register_early() and vm_area_add_early() can be used together
meaning that the former is now implemented using the later where it is
ensured that no conflicting areas are added, but no attempt is made to
make the allocation scheme in vm_area_register_early() more sophisticated.
After all, you must know what you're doing when using those functions.

The /proc/vmallocinfo shows information about vmalloc allocations in
vmlist that is a linklist of vm_struct. It, however, may access pages
field of vm_struct where a page was not allocated. This results in a null
pointer access and leads to a kernel panic.
Why this happens: In __vmalloc_node_range() called from vmalloc(), newly
allocated vm_struct is added to vmlist at __get_vm_area_node() and then,
some fields of vm_struct such as nr_pages and pages are set at
__vmalloc_area_node(). In other words, it is added to vmlist before it is
fully initialized. At the same time, when the /proc/vmallocinfo is read,
it accesses the pages field of vm_struct according to the nr_pages field
at show_numa_info(). Thus, a null pointer access happens.
The patch adds the newly allocated vm_struct to the vmlist *after* it is
fully initialized. So, it can avoid accessing the pages field with
unallocated page when show_numa_info() is called.

Xen backend drivers (e.g., blkback and netback) would sometimes fail to
map grant pages into the vmalloc address space allocated with
alloc_vm_area(). The GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref would fail because Xen could
not find the page (in the L2 table) containing the PTEs it needed to
update.
(XEN) mm.c:3846:d0 Could not find L1 PTE for address fbb42000
netback and blkback were making the hypercall from a kernel thread where
task->active_mm != &init_mm and alloc_vm_area() was only updating the page
tables for init_mm. The usual method of deferring the update to the page
tables of other processes (i.e., after taking a fault) doesn't work as a
fault cannot occur during the hypercall.
This would work on some systems depending on what else was using vmalloc.
Fix this by reverting ef691947d8 ("vmalloc: remove vmalloc_sync_all()
from alloc_vm_area()") and add a comment to explain why it's needed.

Commit db64fe0225 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does
address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a
power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not
set to a power of two.
Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been
diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that
checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices.
To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

I was tracking down a page allocation failure that ended up in vmalloc().
Since vmalloc() uses 0-order pages, if somebody asks for an insane amount
of memory, we'll still get a warning with "order:0" in it. That's not
very useful.
During recovery, vmalloc() also nicely frees all of the memory that it got
up to the point of the failure. That is wonderful, but it also quickly
hides any issues. We have a much different sitation if vmalloc()
repeatedly fails 10GB in to:
vmalloc(100 * 1<<30);
versus repeatedly failing 4096 bytes in to a:
vmalloc(8192);
This patch will print out messages that look like this:
[ 68.123503] vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 6680576 of 13426688 bytes
[ 68.124218] bash: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2
[ 68.124811] Pid: 3770, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.39-rc3-00082-g85f2e68-dirty #333

[ 68.127661] [<ffffffff8111ed37>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x237/0x290
...
The 'order' variable is added for clarity when calling warn_alloc_failed()
to avoid having an unexplained '0' as an argument.
The 'tmp_mask' is because adding an open-coded '| __GFP_NOWARN' would take
us over 80 columns for the alloc_pages_node() call. If we are going to
add a line, it might as well be one that makes the sucker easier to read.
As a side issue, I also noticed that ctl_ioctl() does vmalloc() based
solely on an unverified value passed in from userspace. Granted, it's
under CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but it still frightens me a bit.

The vmap allocator is used to, among other things, allocate per-cpu vmap
blocks, where each vmap block is naturally aligned to its own size.
Obviously, leaving a guard page after each vmap area forbids packing vmap
blocks efficiently and can make the kernel run out of possible vmap blocks
long before overall vmap space is exhausted.
The new interface to map a user-supplied page array into linear vmalloc
space (vm_map_ram) insists on allocating from a vmap block (instead of
falling back to a custom area) when the area size is below a certain
threshold. With heavy users of this interface (e.g. XFS) and limited
vmalloc space on 32-bit, vmap block exhaustion is a real problem.
Remove the guard page from the core vmap allocator. vmalloc and the old
vmap interface enforce a guard page on their own at a higher level.
Note that without this patch, we had accidental guard pages after those
vm_map_ram areas that happened to be at the end of a vmap block, but not
between every area. This patch removes this accidental guard page only.
If we want guard pages after every vm_map_ram area, this should be done
separately. And just like with vmalloc and the old interface on a
different level, not in the core allocator.
Mel pointed out: "If necessary, the guard page could be reintroduced as a
debugging-only option (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC?). Otherwise it seems
reasonable."

Provide a free area cache for the vmalloc virtual address allocator, based
on the algorithm used by the user virtual memory allocator.
This reduces the number of rbtree operations and linear traversals over
the vmap extents in order to find a free area, by starting off at the last
point that a free area was found.
The free area cache is reset if areas are freed behind it, or if we are
searching for a smaller area or alignment than last time. So allocation
patterns are not changed (verified by corner-case and random test cases in
userspace testing).
This solves a regression caused by lazy vunmap TLB purging introduced in
db64fe02 (mm: rewrite vmap layer). That patch will leave extents in the
vmap allocator after they are vunmapped, and until a significant number
accumulate that can be flushed in a single batch. So in a workload that
vmalloc/vfree frequently, a chain of extents will build up from
VMALLOC_START address, which have to be iterated over each time (giving an
O(n) type of behaviour).
After this patch, the search will start from where it left off, giving
closer to an amortized O(1).
This is verified to solve regressions reported Steven in GFS2, and Avi in
KVM.

: you would be so sure that first->va_start < addr, once you've done
: that addr = ALIGN(max(...), align) above, if align is over 0x1000
: (align was 0x8000 or 0x4000 in the cases I hit: ioremaps like Steve).
: I originally got around it by just changing the
: if (first->va_start < addr) {
: to
: while (first->va_start < addr) {
: without thinking about it any further; but that seemed unsatisfactory,
: why would we want to loop here when we've got another very similar
: loop just below it?
: I am never going to admit how long I've spent trying to grasp your
: "while (n)" rbtree loop just above this, the one with the peculiar
: if (!first && tmp->va_start < addr + size)
: in. That's unfamiliar to me, I'm guessing it's designed to save a
: subsequent rb_next() in a few circumstances (at risk of then setting
: a wrong cached_hole_size?); but they did appear few to me, and I didn't
: feel I could sign off something with that in when I don't grasp it,
: and it seems responsible for extra code and mistaken BUG_ON below it.
: I've reverted to the familiar rbtree loop that find_vma() does (but
: with va_end >= addr as you had, to respect the additional guard page):
: and then (given that cached_hole_size starts out 0) I don't see the
: need for any complications below it. If you do want to keep that loop
: as you had it, please add a comment to explain what it's trying to do,
: and where addr is relative to first when you emerge from it.
: Aren't your tests "size <= cached_hole_size" and
: "addr + size > first->va_start" forgetting the guard page we want
: before the next area? I've changed those.
: I have not changed your many "addr + size - 1 < addr" overflow tests,
: but have since come to wonder, shouldn't they be "addr + size < addr"
: tests - won't the vend checks go wrong if addr + size is 0?
: I have added a few comments - Wolfgang Wander's 2.6.13 description of
: 1363c3cd86 Avoiding mmap fragmentation
: helped me a lot, perhaps a pointer to that would be good too. And I found
: it easier to understand when I renamed cached_start slightly and moved the
: overflow label down.
: This patch would go after your mm-vmap-area-cache.patch in mmotm.
: Trivially, nobody is going to get that BUG_ON with this patch, and it
: appears to work fine on my machines; but I have not given it anything like
: the testing you did on your original, and may have broken all the

Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for
module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a
globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range().
__vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of
[VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior.
Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove
the duplication of code.

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.
This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.
Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.
Known issue:
- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.
v2:
- adjust printk format per comments.

On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running:
# mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith
# find /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file
crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen. Often it results in oops
messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly
and made Xen print some rude messages:
(XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp
3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7)

(XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04
Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would
allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it. This is because
vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had
finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages
while still having these RW aliases.
Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and
so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages.
Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB
itself as needed to maintain its invariants.
When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes
immediately. There's no point in deferring this because there's no
amortization benefit.
The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the
cost of the IPIs.
This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression
since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use
of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf877 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped
pages") . XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing

vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next()
is chewing up most of that time).
This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It
causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the
vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).

Current x86 ioremap() doesn't handle physical address higher than

cleared wrongly. Due to this bug, ioremap() can map wrong address to
linear address space.
In my case, 64-bit MMIO region was assigned to a PCI device (ioat
device) on my system. Because of the ioremap()'s bug, wrong physical
address (instead of MMIO region) was mapped to linear address space.
Because of this, loading ioatdma driver caused unexpected behavior
(kernel panic, kernel hangup, ...).

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free
up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So
fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had
no active vmap regions within them.
Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case
of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim
such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so
as to avoid a large build up of them).
Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU
vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the
previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use

walking).
While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier
iteration.
These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the
XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved
with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it
will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS

In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and
then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically.
But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr
is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting
the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a
BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative.
The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE,
increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON
condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr.
It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This
scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE
and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush().
Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the
strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So,
it could go down to negative value temporarily.
Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper.
A possible BUG_ON message is like the below.

mm, perf_event: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA
perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing
When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
D-caches which can have aliases.
Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace
and vice versa.
If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is
shared of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED
will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with
D-cache aliasing matters.
The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific
alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node(). All
existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior.
vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment.
As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other
vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems.

vread/vwrite access vmalloc area without checking there is a page or not.
In most case, this works well.
In old ages, the caller of get_vm_ara() is only IOREMAP and there is no
memory hole within vm_struct's [addr...addr + size - PAGE_SIZE] (
-PAGE_SIZE is for a guard page.)
After per-cpu-alloc patch, it uses get_vm_area() for reserve continuous
virtual address but remap _later_. There tend to be a hole in valid
vmalloc area in vm_struct lists. Then, skip the hole (not mapped page) is
necessary. This patch updates vread/vwrite() for avoiding memory hole.
Routines which access vmalloc area without knowing for which addr is used
are
- /proc/kcore
- /dev/kmem
kcore checks IOREMAP, /dev/kmem doesn't. After this patch, IOREMAP is
checked and /dev/kmem will avoid to read/write it. Fixes to /proc/kcore
will be in the next patch in series.

To directly use spread NUMA memories for percpu units, percpu
allocator will be updated to allow sparsely mapping units in a chunk.
As the distances between units can be very large, this makes
allocating single vmap area for each chunk undesirable. This patch
implements pcpu_get_vm_areas() and pcpu_free_vm_areas() which
allocates and frees sparse congruent vmap areas.
pcpu_get_vm_areas() take @offsets and @sizes array which define
distances and sizes of vmap areas. It scans down from the top of
vmalloc area looking for the top-most address which can accomodate all
the areas. The top-down scan is to avoid interacting with regular
vmallocs which can push up these congruent areas up little by little
ending up wasting address space and page table.
To speed up top-down scan, the highest possible address hint is
maintained. Although the scan is linear from the hint, given the
usual large holes between memory addresses between NUMA nodes, the
scanning is highly likely to finish after finding the first hole for
the last unit which is scanned first.

Separate out insert_vmalloc_vm() from __get_vm_area_node().
insert_vmalloc_vm() initializes vm_struct from vmap_area and inserts
it into vmlist. insert_vmalloc_vm() only initializes fields which can
be determined from @vm, @flags and @caller The rest should be
initialized by the caller. For __get_vm_area_node(), all other fields
just need to be cleared and this is done by using kzalloc instead of
kmalloc.
This will be used to implement pcpu_get_vm_areas().

We can call vmalloc_init() after kmem_cache_init() and use kzalloc() instead of
the bootmem allocator when initializing vmalloc data structures.

vmap's dirty_list is unused. It's for optimizing flushing. but Nick
didn't write the code yet. so, we don't need it until time as it is
needed.
This patch removes vmap_block's dirty_list and codes related to it.

It happened here:
$ addr2line -e vmlinux -i c1096df7
mm/vmalloc.c:540
Code:
list_for_each_entry(va, &valist, purge_list)
__free_vmap_area(va);
It's this instruction:
mov 0x20(%ebx),%edx
Which corresponds to a dereference of va->purge_list.next:
(gdb) p ((struct vmap_area *) 0)->purge_list.next
Cannot access memory at address 0x20
It seems that we should use "safe" list traversal here, as the element
is freed inside the loop. Please verify that this is the right fix.
