Hi Andrew,
Oscar has reported two issue when playing with the memory hotplug
[1][2]. The first one seems more serious and patch 1 should address it.
In short we are overly optimistic about zone movable not containing any
non-movable pages and after 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not
fail offlining too early") this can lead to a seemingly stuck (still
interruptible by a signal) memory offline.
Patch 2 fixes an over-eager warning which is not harmful but surely
annoying.
I know we are late in the release cycle but I guess both would be
candidates for rc7. They are simple enough and they should be
"obviously" correct. If you would like more time for them for testing
then I am perfectly fine postponing to the next merge window of course.

Note how only Node 0 has a hutplugable memory region which would rule
it out from the early memblock allocations (most likely memmap). Node1
will surely contain memmaps on the same node and those would prevent
offlining to succeed. So this is arguably a configuration issue.
Although one could argue that we should be more clever and rule early
allocations from the zone movable. This would be correct but probably
not worth the effort considering what a hack movablecore is.
Anyway, We could do better for those cases though. We rely on
start_isolate_page_range resp. has_unmovable_pages to do their job. The
first one isolates the whole range to be offlined so that we do not
allocate from it anymore and the later makes sure we are not stumbling
over non-migrateable pages.
has_unmovable_pages is overly optimistic, however. It doesn't check all
the pages if we are withing zone_movable because we rely that those
pages will be always migrateable. As it turns out we are still not
perfect there. While bootmem pages in zonemovable sound like a clear bug
which should be fixed let's remove the optimization for now and warn if
we encounter unmovable pages in zone_movable in the meantime. That
should help for now at least.
Btw. this wasn't a real problem until 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm, memory_hotplug:
do not fail offlining too early") because we used to have a small number
of retries and then failed. This turned out to be too fragile though.

when adding memory to a node that is currently offline.
The VM_WARN_ON is just too loud without a good reason. In this
particular case we are doing
alloc_pages_node(node, GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL|__GFP_NOWARN, order)
so we do not insist on allocating from the given node (it is more a
hint) so we can fall back to any other populated node and moreover we
explicitly ask to not warn for the allocation failure.
Soften the warning only to cases when somebody asks for the given node
explicitly by __GFP_THISNODE.

when adding memory to a node that is currently offline.
The VM_WARN_ON is just too loud without a good reason. In this
particular case we are doing
alloc_pages_node(node, GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL|__GFP_NOWARN, order)
so we do not insist on allocating from the given node (it is more a
hint) so we can fall back to any other populated node and moreover we
explicitly ask to not warn for the allocation failure.
Soften the warning only to cases when somebody asks for the given node
explicitly by __GFP_THISNODE.

node hint passed here eventually goes into __alloc_pages_nodemask()
function which then picks up the applicable zonelist irrespective of
the GFP flag __GFP_THISNODE. Though we can go into zones of other
nodes if the present node (whose zonelist got picked up) does not
have any memory in it's zones. So warning here might not be without
any reason. But yes, if the request has __GFP_NOWARN it makes sense
not to print any warning.

__GFP_THISNODE should enforce the given node without any fallbacks
unless something has changed recently.

I am not sure I follow. Are you suggesting a different VM_WARN_ON?

Right. I was just saying requiring given preferred node to be online
whose zonelist (hence allocation zone fallback order) is getting picked
up during allocation and warning when that is not online still makes
sense. We should only hide the warning if the allocation request has
__GFP_NOWARN.

I am just suggesting this instead.

Why? We have a fallback and that is expected to be used. How does
offline differ from depleted node from the semantical point of view?

I have considered that but I fail to see why should we warn about
regular GFP_KERNEL allocations as mentioned above. Just consider an
allocation for the preffered node. Do you want to warn just because that
node went offline?

Hmm, right. I agree. Offlined and depleted nodes are same from memory
allocation semantics point of view. It will proceed picking up next
available zones on the zonelist in the fallback order exactly in the
same fashion either way.

As you have mentioned before, the semantics is similar when the node is
offlined compared to when its depleted. Right. I tend to agree with your
approach of not warning in such situations.
