[PATCH 0/2] fix memmap init for handling memory hole v2

[PATCH 0/2] fix memmap init for handling memory hole v2

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

This set is a replacement for

mm-fix-memmap-init-to-initialize-valid-memmap-for-memory-hole.patch (dropped)

I think this version is much cleaner than previous one.

This is a fix for routines in boot, so this can add a terrible error.
Please test when you have time. I tested on x86-64+fake NUMA.

-Kame
== from this problem.

What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages()
is triggering:

	BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));

Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations:

	if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: "
		       "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",
		       start_page, end_page, zone);
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n",
		       page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n",
		       page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n",
		       page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page));
 ...

And here's what I got:

	move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
	move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
	move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
	move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]

My memory layout on this box is:

[    0.000000] Zone PFN ranges:
[    0.000000]   Normal   0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d
[    0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node
[    0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges
[    0.000000]     0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000
[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d

So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.

[PATCH 1/2] clean up for early_pfn_to_nid

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files,
and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.

This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h

After this,
  if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
  else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
  else
     -> per-arch back end function will be called.

[PATCH 2/2] fix memmap init for handling memory hole

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Now, early_pfn_in_nid(PFN, NID) may returns false if PFN is a hole.
and memmap initialization was not done. This was a trouble for
sparc boot.

To fix this, the PFN should be initialized and marked as PG_reserved.
This patch changes early_pfn_in_nid() return true if PFN is a hole.

[PATCH 2/2] fix memmap init for handling memory hole

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Now, early_pfn_in_nid(PFN, NID) may returns false if PFN is a hole.
and memmap initialization was not done. This was a trouble for
sparc boot.

To fix this, the PFN should be initialized and marked as PG_reserved.
This patch changes early_pfn_in_nid() return true if PFN is a hole.

It's rather unfortunate that this bugfix includes a fair-sized cleanup
patch, because we should backport it into 2.6.28.x.

Oh well.

I queued these as

mm-clean-up-for-early_pfn_to_nid.patch
mm-fix-memmap-init-for-handling-memory-hole.patch

and tagged them as needed-in-2.6.28.x.  I don't recall whether they are
needed in earlier -stable releases?

I don't have a record here of davem having tested these new patches, btw ;)

Every kernel going back to at least 2.6.24 has this bug.  It's likely
been around even longer, I didn't bother checking.

Sparc64's one is broken from this commit.

09337f501ebdd224cd69df6d168a5c4fe75d86fa
sparc64: Kill CONFIG_SPARC32_COMPAT

CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTEHR_NODES is set and config allows following kind of NUMA
This is requirements from powerpc.

low address ---<-   max order     ->---- high address
               [Node0][Node1][Node0]
So, nid is checked at memmap init.

But it included this bug in following case.
low address ---<-   max order     ->---- high address
               [Node0][Hole][Node0]

Hmm..I'm not sure how many kind of machines will see this bug. But there may be
some.

[kamezawa@bluextal linux-2.6.28]$ grep  -R CONFIG_NODES_SPAN arch/*
arch/powerpc/configs/celleb_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/powerpc/configs/cell_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/sparc64/defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y

powerpc/sparc64/x86 can see this bug.

IMHO, following 2 arch will be safe because..
On x86-64, it seems it doesn't allows above style of memmap. (BUG_ON() will hit)
Powerpc is originator of this CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES and they did test.

Thanks,

CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTEHR_NODES is set and config allows following kind of NUMA
This is requirements from powerpc.

low address ---<-   max order     ->---- high address
               [Node0][Node1][Node0]
So, nid is checked at memmap init.

But it included this bug in following case.
low address ---<-   max order     ->---- high address
               [Node0][Hole][Node0]

Hmm..I'm not sure how many kind of machines will see this bug. But there may be
some.

[kamezawa@bluextal linux-2.6.28]$ grep  -R CONFIG_NODES_SPAN arch/*
arch/powerpc/configs/celleb_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/powerpc/configs/cell_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/sparc64/defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y
arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig:CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES=y

powerpc/sparc64/x86 can see this bug.

IMHO, following 2 arch will be safe because..
On x86-64, it seems it doesn't allows above style of memmap. (BUG_ON() will hit)
Powerpc is originator of this CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES and they did test.

Thanks,

Well, actually this means that what broke sparc64 was the addition of
NUMA support then.  Users could and were enabling these options
on sparc64 beforehand, I just updated defconfig to reflect the
fact that my workstation was NUMA capable :)
