d633269286 mm/hibernation: Make hibernation handle unmapped pages 
Make hibernate handle unmapped pages on the direct map when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_ALIAS=y is set. These functions allow for setting pages
to invalid configurations, so now hibernate should check if the pages have
valid mappings and handle if they are unmapped when doing a hibernate
save operation.

Previously this checking was already done when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
was configured. It does not appear to have a big hibernating performance
impact. The speed of the saving operation before this change was measured
as 819.02 MB/s, and after was measured at 813.32 MB/s.

8118b82eb7 mm/page_alloc.c: fix never set ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT flag 
Commit 0a79cdad5e ("mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake")
removed setting of the ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT flag.  Bring it back.

The runtime effect is that ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT behaviour is restored so
that allocations are spread across local zones to avoid fragmentation
due to mixing pageblocks as long as possible.

8139ad043d mm/page_alloc.c: avoid potential NULL pointer dereference 
ac.preferred_zoneref->zone passed to alloc_flags_nofragment() can be NULL.
'zone' pointer unconditionally derefernced in alloc_flags_nofragment().
Bail out on NULL zone to avoid potential crash.  Currently we don't see
any crashes only because alloc_flags_nofragment() has another bug which
allows compiler to optimize away all accesses to 'zone'.

ee8ab0eeb4 mm, page_alloc: always use a captured page regardless of compaction result 
During the development of commit 5e1f0f098b ("mm, compaction: capture
a page under direct compaction"), a paranoid check was added to ensure
that if a captured page was available after compaction that it was
consistent with the final state of compaction.  The intent was to catch
serious programming bugs such as using a stale page pointer and causing
corruption problems.

However, it is possible to get a captured page even if compaction was
unsuccessful if an interrupt triggered and happened to free pages in
interrupt context that got merged into a suitable high-order page.  It's
highly unlikely but Li Wang did report the following warning on s390
occuring when testing OOM handling.  Note that the warning is slightly
edited for clarity.

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9783 at mm/page_alloc.c:3777 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0x182/0x190
  Modules linked in: rpcsec_gss_krb5 auth_rpcgss nfsv4 dns_resolver nfs

  CPU: 0 PID: 9783 Comm: copy.sh Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.1.0-rc 5 #1

This patch simply removes the check entirely instead of trying to be
clever about pages freed from interrupt context.  If a serious
programming error was introduced, it is highly likely to be caught by
prep_new_page() instead.

24512228b7 mm: do not boost watermarks to avoid fragmentation for the DISCONTIG memory model 
Mikulas Patocka reported that commit 1c30844d2d ("mm: reclaim small
amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") "broke"
memory management on parisc.

The machine is not NUMA but the DISCONTIG model creates three pgdats
even though it's a UMA machine for the following ranges

        0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size   1024 MB
        1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size   3070 MB
        2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size   3072 MB

Mikulas reported:

	With the patch 1c30844d2, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the
	first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two
	completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB.

	For example, if I run:
	# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048

	- with the proper kernel, there should be "Buffers - 2GiB"
	when this command finishes. With the patch 1c30844d2, buffers
	will consume just 1GiB or slightly more, because the kernel was
	incorrectly reclaiming them.

The page allocator and reclaim makes assumptions that pgdats really
represent NUMA nodes and zones represent ranges and makes decisions on
that basis.  Watermark boosting for small pgdats leads to unexpected
results even though this would have behaved reasonably on SPARSEMEM.

DISCONTIG is essentially deprecated and even parisc plans to move to
SPARSEMEM so there is no need to be fancy, this patch simply disables
watermark boosting by default on DISCONTIGMEM.

1a9f219157 mm/hotplug: treat CMA pages as unmovable 
has_unmovable_pages() is used by allocating CMA and gigantic pages as
well as the memory hotplug.  The later doesn't know how to offline CMA
pool properly now, but if an unused (free) CMA page is encountered, then
has_unmovable_pages() happily considers it as a free memory and
propagates this up the call chain.  Memory offlining code then frees the
page without a proper CMA tear down which leads to an accounting issues.
Moreover if the same memory range is onlined again then the memory never
gets back to the CMA pool.

State after memory offline:

 # grep cma /proc/vmstat
 nr_free_cma 205824

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/cma/cma-kvm_cma/count
 209920

Also, kmemleak still think those memory address are reserved below but
have already been used by the buddy allocator after onlining.  This
patch fixes the situation by treating CMA pageblocks as unmovable except
when has_unmovable_pages() is called as part of CMA allocation.

9b7ea46a82 mm/hotplug: fix offline undo_isolate_page_range() 
Commit f1dd2cd13c ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded
memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which
calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block.
memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to
be MOVABLE.

However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range()
after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing.  Due to commit
2ce13640b3 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed
__first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range()
here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while
doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as
offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within
the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections().

Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it
reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE.  Those pages
will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining.  The only thing
left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter
which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above
commit introduced.

Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages
on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of
pageblocks there.  Fix an incorrect comment along the way.

a862f68a8b docs/core-api/mm: fix return value descriptions in mm/ 
Many kernel-doc comments in mm/ have the return value descriptions
either misformatted or omitted at all which makes kernel-doc script
unhappy:

...

Fixing the formatting and adding the missing return value descriptions
eliminates ~100 such warnings.

allocation will fail are diminishing, it is still worth to have proper
checks for the allocation errors.

5e1f0f098b mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction 
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task.  This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator.  The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

                                     5.0.0-rc1              5.0.0-rc1

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details.  A
closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

fd1444b272 mm, compaction: ignore the fragmentation avoidance boost for isolation and compaction 
When pageblocks get fragmented, watermarks are artifically boosted to
reclaim pages to avoid further fragmentation events.  However,
compaction is often either fragmentation-neutral or moving movable pages
away from unmovable/reclaimable pages.  As the true watermarks are
preserved, allow compaction to ignore the boost factor.

The expected impact is very slight as the main benefit is that
compaction is slightly more likely to succeed when the system has been
fragmented very recently.  On both 1-socket and 2-socket machines for
THP-intensive allocation during fragmentation the success rate was
increased by less than 1% which is marginal.  However, detailed tracing
indicated that failure of migration due to a premature ENOMEM triggered
by watermark checks were eliminated.

c52e75935f mm: remove extra drain pages on pcp list 
In the current implementation, there are two places to isolate a range
of page: __offline_pages() and alloc_contig_range().  During this
procedure, it will drain pages on pcp list.

Below is a brief call flow:

  __offline_pages()/alloc_contig_range()
      start_isolate_page_range()
          set_migratetype_isolate()
              drain_all_pages()
      drain_all_pages()                 <--- A

This snippet shows the current logic is isolate and drain pcp list for
each pageblock and drain pcp list again for the whole range.

start_isolate_page_range is responsible for isolating the given pfn
range.  One part of that job is to make sure that also pages that are on
the allocator pcp lists are properly isolated.  Otherwise they could be
reused and the range wouldn't be completely isolated until the memory is
freed back.  While there is no strict guarantee here because pages might
get allocated at any time before drain_all_pages is called there doesn't
seem to be any strong demand for such a guarantee.

In any case, draining is already done at the isolation level and there
is no need to do it again later by start_isolate_page_range callers
(memory hotplug and CMA allocator currently).  Therefore remove
pointless draining in existing callers to make the code more clear and
functionally correct.

the order of checks in memcg_charge_slab() can potentially be changed
but the functionally it will be same.  This should not matter as

98fa15f34c mm: replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE 
Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.

All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code.  Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances.  This might also have replaced some
false positives.  I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.

1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"

This patch (of 2):

At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1.  Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there.  Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE.  This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

8644772637 mm: Use fixed constant in page_frag_alloc instead of size + 1 
This patch replaces the size + 1 value introduced with the recent fix for 1
byte allocs with a constant value.

The idea here is to reduce code overhead as the previous logic would have
to read size into a register, then increment it, and write it back to
whatever field was being used. By using a constant we can avoid those
memory reads and arithmetic operations in favor of just encoding the
maximum value into the operation itself.

2c2ade8174 mm: page_alloc: fix ref bias in page_frag_alloc() for 1-byte allocs 
The basic idea behind ->pagecnt_bias is: If we pre-allocate the maximum
number of references that we might need to create in the fastpath later,
the bump-allocation fastpath only has to modify the non-atomic bias value
that tracks the number of extra references we hold instead of the atomic
refcount. The maximum number of allocations we can serve (under the
assumption that no allocation is made with size 0) is nc->size, so that's
the bias used.

However, even when all memory in the allocation has been given away, a
reference to the page is still held; and in the `offset < 0` slowpath, the
page may be reused if everyone else has dropped their references.
This means that the necessary number of references is actually
`nc->size+1`.

Luckily, from a quick grep, it looks like the only path that can call
page_frag_alloc(fragsz=1) is TAP with the IFF_NAPI_FRAGS flag, which
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the init namespace and is only intended to be
used for kernel testing and fuzzing.

To test for this issue, put a `WARN_ON(page_ref_count(page) == 0)` in the
`offset < 0` path, below the virt_to_page() call, and then repeatedly call
writev() on a TAP device with IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_NAPI_FRAGS|IFF_NAPI,
with a vector consisting of 15 elements containing 1 byte each.

4aa9fc2a43 Revert "mm, memory_hotplug: initialize struct pages for the full memory section" 
This reverts commit 2830bf6f05.

The underlying assumption that one sparse section belongs into a single
numa node doesn't hold really. Robert Shteynfeld has reported a boot
failure. The boot log was not captured but his memory layout is as
follows:

  Early memory node ranges
    node   1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff]
    node   1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff]
    node   1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff]
    node   0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff]

This means that node0 starts in the middle of a memory section which is
also in node1.  memmap_init_zone tries to initialize padding of a
section even when it is outside of the given pfn range because there are
code paths (e.g.  memory hotplug) which assume that the full worth of
memory section is always initialized.

In this particular case, though, such a range is already intialized and
most likely already managed by the page allocator.  Scribbling over
those pages corrupts the internal state and likely blows up when any of
those pages gets used.

It appears to be a false positive in that the only way the lock ordering
should be inverted is if kswapd is waking itself and the wakeup
allocates debugging objects which should already be allocated if it's
kswapd doing the waking.  Nevertheless, the possibility exists and so
it's best to avoid the problem.

This patch flags a zone as needing a kswapd using the, surprisingly,
unused zone flag field.  The flag is read without the lock held to do
the wakeup.  It's possible that the flag setting context is not the same
as the flag clearing context or for small races to occur.  However, each
race possibility is harmless and there is no visible degredation in
fragmentation treatment.

While zone->flag could have continued to be unused, there is potential
for moving some existing fields into the flags field instead.
Particularly read-mostly ones like zone->initialized and
zone->contiguous.

af3b854492 mm/page_alloc.c: allow error injection 
Model call chain after should_failslab().  Likewise, we can now use a
kprobe to override the return value of should_fail_alloc_page() and inject
allocation failures into alloc_page*().

This will allow injecting allocation failures using the BCC tools even
without building kernel with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC and booting it with a
fail_page_alloc= parameter, which incurs some overhead even when failures
are not being injected.  On the other hand, this patch adds an
unconditional call to should_fail_alloc_page() from page allocation
hotpath.  That overhead should be rather negligible with
CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=n when there's no kprobe attached, though.

d9367bd06f mm, page_alloc: enable pcpu_drain with zone capability 
drain_all_pages is documented to drain per-cpu pages for a given zone (if
non-NULL).  The current implementation doesn't match the description
though.  It will drain all pcp pages for all zones that happen to have
cached pages on the same cpu as the given zone.  This will lead to
premature pcp cache draining for zones that are not of any interest to the
caller - e.g.  compaction, hwpoison or memory offline.

This forces the page allocator to take locks and potential lock contention
as a result.

There is no real reason for this sub-optimal implementation.  Replace
per-cpu work item with a dedicated structure which contains a pointer to
the zone and pass it over to the worker.  This will get the zone
information all the way down to the worker function and do the right job.

3c0c12cc8f mm/page_alloc.c: don't call kasan_free_pages() at deferred mem init 
When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred
pages initialization can take a long time.  Below were the reported init
times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system.

  1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN
     [    8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms

  2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN
     [  146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms

So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel.
The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done
with interrupt disabled.  In this particular case, it caused the
appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all
the cores that were doing the initialization.

The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to
poison the newly initialized pages.  On a 4TB system, we are talking about
almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node.

In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before
they are ever allocated.  So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the
completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled.  Those pages
will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred
pages initialization is done.

With this change, the new page initialization time became:

[   21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms

This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much
better than before.

125b860b25 mm/pageblock: throw compile error if pageblock_bits cannot hold MIGRATE_TYPES 
Currently, NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS and MIGRATE_TYPES are not associated by code.
If someone adds extra migrate type, then he may forget to enlarge the
NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS.  Hence it requires some way to fix.

NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS depends on MIGRATE_TYPES, while these macro spread on
two different .h file with reverse dependency, it is a little hard to
refer to MIGRATE_TYPES in pageblock-flag.h.  This patch tries to remind
such relation in compiling-time.

bbe5d9939e mm/page_alloc.c: drop uneeded __meminit and __meminitdata 
Since commit 03e85f9d5f ("mm/page_alloc: Introduce
free_area_init_core_hotplug"), some functions changed to only be called
during system initialization.  Concretly, free_area_init_node() and the
functions that hang from it.

Also, some variables are no longer used after the system has gone
through initialization.  So this could be considered as a late clean-up
for that patch.

This patch changes the functions from __meminit to __init, and the
variables from __meminitdata to __initdata.

In return, we get some KBs back:

Before:
  Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2472K

After:
  Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2480K

23b68cfaae mm: check nr_initialised with PAGES_PER_SECTION directly in defer_init() 
When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is configured, only the first section of
each node's highest zone is initialized before defer stage.

static_init_pgcnt is used to store the number of pages like this:

    pgdat->static_init_pgcnt = min_t(unsigned long, PAGES_PER_SECTION,
                                              pgdat->node_spanned_pages);

because we don't want to overflow zone's range.

But this is not necessary, since defer_init() is called like this:

  memmap_init_zone()
    for pfn in [start_pfn, end_pfn)
      defer_init(pfn, end_pfn)

In case (pgdat->node_spanned_pages < PAGES_PER_SECTION), the loop would
stop before calling defer_init().

BTW, comparing PAGES_PER_SECTION with node_spanned_pages is not correct,
since nr_initialised is zone based instead of node based.  Even
node_spanned_pages is bigger than PAGES_PER_SECTION, its highest zone
would have pages less than PAGES_PER_SECTION.

ef8444ea01 mm, oom: reorganize the oom report in dump_header 
OOM report contains several sections.  The first one is the allocation
context that has triggered the OOM.  Then we have cpuset context followed
by the stack trace of the OOM path.  The tird one is the OOM memory
information.  Followed by the current memory state of all system tasks.
At last, we will show oom eligible tasks and the information about the
chosen oom victim.

One thing that makes parsing more awkward than necessary is that we do not
have a single and easily parsable line about the oom context.  This patch
is reorganizing the oom report to

oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1,task=panic,pid=10737,uid=0

An admin can easily get the full oom context at a single line which

1c30844d2d mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs 
An external fragmentation event was previously described as

    When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using
    the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller
    than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered
    an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future.

The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the
watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the
lifetime of the system.  This works reasonably well in general but if
there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still
occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep.

This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone
watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing
events occurs.  The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease
free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the
calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size
of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is
cleared.  When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order
to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the
fragmentation event.  kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap
from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system
disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance.  Care is taken so that
kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by
this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla
kernel.  The fault latency for huge pages appears to be increased but that
is only because THP allocations were successful with the patch applied.

There is a large reduction in fragmentation events with some jitter around
the latencies and success rates.  As before, the high THP allocation
success rate does mean the system is under a lot of pressure.  However, as
the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the
long-term allocation success rate would be higher.

0a79cdad5e mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake 
This is a preparation patch that copies the GFP flag __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM
into alloc_flags.  This is a preparation patch only that avoids having to
pass gfp_mask through a long callchain in a future patch.

Note that the setting in the fast path happens in alloc_flags_nofragment()
and it may be claimed that this has nothing to do with ALLOC_NO_FRAGMENT.
That's true in this patch but is not true later so it's done now for
easier review to show where the flag needs to be recorded.

No functional change.

6bb154504f mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation 
Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5.

It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka
anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse
workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order
allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition
of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series
that reduces the level of those fragmentation events.

The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more
detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level
summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the
mmtests implementation.

The broad details of the workload are as follows;

1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
   as part of the testing for this patch)
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
   Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
   created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate
   is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
   a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
   of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
   pages get mixed
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files
   created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
   took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further
   interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
   memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
   stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
   75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
   threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
   threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
   scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
   than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
   and what the fault latency was in microseconds
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
   the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup

Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94%
on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation
success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and
high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they
are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded
so they are treated as a secondary metric.

Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory
	instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to
	handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained
	in the changelog.

Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation
	event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory
	and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system
	slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level
	of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance
	for fragmentation vs allocation latency.

Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4
	make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it
	is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if
	larger stalls can be tolerated.

The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches
1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option
of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for
some stalls to control fragmentation.

This patch (of 5):

The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each
zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account.  On x86, node 0
may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone.  A consequence is
that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though
ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory.  This patch special cases the
allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local
zone before fragmenting a higher zone.  In this case, stealing of
pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast
path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view.

This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before
attempting THP allocations.  It's implemented in mmtests as the following
configurations

configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage

e.g. from mmtests
./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1

The broad details of the workload are as follows;

1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
   as part of the testing for this patch).
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
   Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
   created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate
   is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
   a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
   of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
   pages get mixed.
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files
   created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
   took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further
   interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
   memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
   stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
   75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
   threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
   threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
   scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
   than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
   and what the fault latency was in microseconds.
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
   the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup the test files.

Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not
suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory
may be excessive.  Also note that while this is one mix that generates
fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation.
Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is
used with high-order pages may yield different results.

When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event.  If the fallback_order is smaller than
a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an
"external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future.
Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation
events that occur with order < 9.  The secondary metric is allocation
latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences
in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of
external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric.

Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain
at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate
THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or
keeping pages resident.  However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in
the future.

Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types
that are falling back.

vanilla
   3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE
     33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE

patch
    735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE
     42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE

The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is
consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented
again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they
can be migrated.  The problem is that they can fill an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback
later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move.  If there is a
movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to
actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot
know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.
Hence, it's important to control them.  This point is also consistent
throughout the series and will not be repeated.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c1891
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher.  The allocation success rate is high enough that
the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and
compaction activity.  There is also a certain degree of luck on whether
processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is
reduced later in the series.

Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing
events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved
for this adverse workload.

742aa7fb52 mm/page_alloc.c: use a single function to free page 
There are multiple places of freeing a page, they all do the same things
so a common function can be used to reduce code duplicate.

It also avoids bug fixed in one function but left in another.

65895b67ad mm/page_alloc.c: free order-0 pages through PCP in page_frag_free() 
page_frag_free() calls __free_pages_ok() to free the page back to Buddy.
This is OK for high order page, but for order-0 pages, it misses the
optimization opportunity of using Per-Cpu-Pages and can cause zone lock
contention when called frequently.

Pawel Staszewski recently shared his result of 'how Linux kernel handles
normal traffic'[1] and from perf data, Jesper Dangaard Brouer found the
lock contention comes from page allocator:

  mlx5e_poll_tx_cq
  |
   --16.34%--napi_consume_skb
             |
             |--12.65%--__free_pages_ok
             |          |
             |           --11.86%--free_one_page
             |                     |
             |                     |--10.10%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath
             |                     |
             |                      --0.65%--_raw_spin_lock
             |
             |--1.55%--page_frag_free
             |
              --1.44%--skb_release_data

Jesper explained how it happened: mlx5 driver RX-page recycle mechanism is
not effective in this workload and pages have to go through the page
allocator.  The lock contention happens during mlx5 DMA TX completion
cycle.  And the page allocator cannot keep up at these speeds.[2]

I thought that __free_pages_ok() are mostly freeing high order pages and
thought this is an lock contention for high order pages but Jesper
explained in detail that __free_pages_ok() here are actually freeing
order-0 pages because mlx5 is using order-0 pages to satisfy its page pool
allocation request.[3]

The free path as pointed out by Jesper is:
skb_free_head()
  -> skb_free_frag()
    -> page_frag_free()
And the pages being freed on this path are order-0 pages.

Fix this by doing similar things as in __page_frag_cache_drain() - send
the being freed page to PCP if it's an order-0 page, or directly to Buddy
if it is a high order page.

With this change, Paweł hasn't noticed lock contention yet in his
workload and Jesper has noticed a 7% performance improvement using a micro
benchmark and lock contention is gone.  Ilias' test on a 'low' speed 1Gbit
interface on an cortex-a53 shows ~11% performance boost testing with
64byte packets and __free_pages_ok() disappeared from perf top.

Now that totalram_pages and managed_pages are atomic varibles, no need of
managed_page_count spinlock.  The lock had really a weak consistency
guarantee.  It hasn't been used for anything but the update but no reader
actually cares about all the values being updated to be in sync.

which are not triggered by the memory hotplug but rather CMA allocator.
The original idea behind dumping the page state for all call paths was
that these messages will be helpful debugging failures.  From the above it
seems that this is not the case for the CMA path because we are lacking
much more context.  E.g the second reported page might be a CMA allocated
page.  It is still interesting to see a slab page in the CMA area but it
is hard to tell whether this is bug from the above output alone.

Address this issue by dumping the page state only on request.  Both
start_isolate_page_range and has_unmovable_pages already have an argument
to ignore hwpoison pages so make this argument more generic and turn it
into flags and allow callers to combine non-default modes into a mask.
While we are at it, has_unmovable_pages call from
is_pageblock_removable_nolock (sysfs removable file) is questionable to
report the failure so drop it from there as well.

2932c8b050 mm, memory_hotplug: be more verbose for memory offline failures 
There is only very limited information printed when the memory offlining
fails:

[ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff

This tells us that the failure is triggered by the userspace intervention
but it doesn't tell us much more about the underlying reason.  It might be
that the page migration failes repeatedly and the userspace timeout
expires and send a signal or it might be some of the earlier steps
(isolation, memory notifier) takes too long.

If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which page
that and its state.  The same applies to the isolation phase.  If we fail
to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the page
would be helpful as well.

Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated.  This will
tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.
