Hi Andrew,

Please, consider pulling out the patch that sits currently in linux-mm and
put this one instead.
I would still like to hear Michal's opinion but it should be safe
enough to let it sit in the mmotm/linux-next for a while.

Thanks

Changes from v8 -> v9:
 - Change order of kasan calls and offline_mem_sections
 - Collect Reviewed-by

Changes from v7 -> v8:
 - Addressed feedback from David for patch#4

Changes from v6 -> v7:
 - Fix check from "mm,memory_hotplug: Relax fully spanned sections check"
 - Add fixup from "mm,memory_hotplug: Allocate memmap from the added memory range"
 - Add Reviewed-by from David for patch#2
 - Fix changelog in "mm,memory_hotplug: Factor out adjusting present pages into
    adjust_present_page_count()"

Changes from v5 -> v6:
 - Create memory_block_{online,offline} functions
 - Create vmemmap_* functions to deal with vmemmap stuff, so
   {online,offline}_pages remain untouched
 - Add adjust_present_page_count's patch from David
 - Relax check in {offline,online}_pages
 - Rework changelogs

Changes from v4 -> v5:
 - Addressed feedback from David (patch#1)
 - Tested on x86_64 with different struct page sizes and on large/small memory
   blocks
 - Tested on arm64 with 4K, 64K (with and without THP) and with different struct
   page sizes

 NOTE: We might need to make this feature and hugetlb-vmemmap feature [1] mutually
       exclusive. I raised an issue I see in [2].
       Hugetlb-vmemmap feature has been withdrawn for the time being due to the need
       in further changes  wrt. locking/freeing context.
       I will keep an eye, and when the time comes again I will see how the two
       features play together and how one another can be disabled when needed.

Changes from v3 -> v4:
 - Addressed feedback from David
 - Wrap memmap_on_memory module thingy with #ifdef
   on MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY
 - Move "depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG" to MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY
   in generic mm/Kconfig
 - Collect David's Reviewed-bys

Changes from v2 -> v3:
 - Addressed feedback from David
 - Squash former patch#4 and and patch#5 into patch#1
 - Fix config dependency CONFIR_SPARSE_VMEMMAP vs CONFIG_SPARSE_VMEMMAP_ENABLE
 - Simplify module parameter functions

Changes from v1 -> v2
 - Addressed feedback from David
 - Fence off the feature in case struct page size is not
   multiple of PMD size or pageblock alignment cannot be guaranted
 - Tested on x86_64 small and large memory_blocks
 - Tested on arm64 4KB and 64KB page sizes (for some reason I cannot boot
   my VM with 16KB page size).

 Arm64 with 4KB page size behaves like x86_64 after [1], which made section
 size smaller.
 With 64KB, the feature gets fenced off due to pageblock alignment.

Changes from RFCv3 -> v1:
 - Addressed feedback from David
 - Re-order patches

Changes from v2 -> v3 (RFC):
 - Re-order patches (Michal)
 - Fold "mm,memory_hotplug: Introduce MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY" in patch#1
 - Add kernel boot option to enable this feature (Michal)

Changes from v1 -> v2 (RFC):
 - Addressed feedback provided by David
 - Add a arch_support_memmap_on_memory to be called
   from mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory, as atm,
   only ARM, powerpc and x86_64 have altmat support.

Original cover letter:

 The primary goal of this patchset is to reduce memory overhead of the
 hot-added memory (at least for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP memory model).
 The current way we use to populate memmap (struct page array) has two main drawbacks:

 a) it consumes an additional memory until the hotadded memory itself is
    onlined and
 b) memmap might end up on a different numa node which is especially true
    for movable_node configuration.
 c) due to fragmentation we might end up populating memmap with base
    pages

 One way to mitigate all these issues is to simply allocate memmap array
 (which is the largest memory footprint of the physical memory hotplug)
 from the hot-added memory itself. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP memory model allows
 us to map any pfn range so the memory doesn't need to be online to be
 usable for the array. See patch 4 for more details.
 This feature is only usable when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set.

 [Overall design]:

 Implementation wise we reuse vmem_altmap infrastructure to override
 the default allocator used by vmemap_populate.
 memory_block structure gains a new field called nr_vmemmap_pages,
 which accounts for the number of vmemmap pages used by that memory_block.
 E.g: On x86_64, that is 512 vmemmap pages on small memory bloks and 4096
      on large memory blocks (1GB)

 We also introduce new two functions: memory_block_{online,offline}.
 These functions take care of initializing/unitializing vmemmap pages
 prior to calling {online,offline}_pages, so the latter functions can
 remain totally untouched.

 More details can be found in the respective changelogs.

This is a preparatory patch that introduces two new functions:
memory_block_online() and memory_block_offline().

For now, these functions will only call online_pages() and offline_pages()
respectively, but they will be later in charge of preparing the vmemmap
pages, carrying out the initialization and proper accounting of such
pages.

Since memory_block struct contains all the information, pass this struct
down the chain till the end functions.

When using self-hosted vmemmap pages, the number of pages passed to
{online,offline}_pages might not fully span sections, but they always
fully span pageblocks.
Relax the check account for that case.

Let's have a single place (inspired by adjust_managed_page_count()) where
we adjust present pages.
In contrast to adjust_managed_page_count(), only memory onlining/offlining
is allowed to modify the number of present pages.

Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.

This has some disadvantages:
 a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
    (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
 b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
    which has performance drawbacks.
 c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
    populated with base pages.

This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory.
That means that we can simply use the beginning of each memory section and
map struct pages there.
struct pages which back the allocated space then just need to be treated
carefully.

Implementation wise we will reuse vmem_altmap infrastructure to override
the default allocator used by __populate_section_memmap.
Part of the implementation also relies on memory_block structure gaining
a new field which specifies the number of vmemmap_pages at the beginning.
This patch also introduces the following functions:

 - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
		       Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(),
		       calls kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections
		       as vmemmap pages fully span.
 - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
		       Undoes what mhp_init_memmap_on_memory.

The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory() before
doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we clean up
by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().
Adjusting of present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.

On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages().
This is necessary because offline_pages() tears down some structures based
on the fact whether the node or the zone become empty.
If offline_pages() fails, we account back vmemmap pages.
If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().

Hot-remove:

 We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
 removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
 To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
 memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
 vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
 block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.

 If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
 we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
 thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

Let the caller check whether it can pass MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY by
checking mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory().
MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY can only be set in case
ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE is enabled, the architecture supports
altmap, and the range to be added spans a single memory block.

Self stored memmap leads to a sparse memory situation which is unsuitable
for workloads that requires large contiguous memory chunks, so make this
an opt-in which needs to be explicitly enabled.

To control this, let memory_hotplug have its own memory space, as suggested
by David, so we can add memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory parameter.

It would be good to call those out explicitly.  It would be also
great to explain why pageblock_nr_pages is an actual constrain. There
shouldn't be any real reason for that except for "we want online_pages
to operate on whole memblocks and memmap_on_memory will poke
pageblock_nr_pages aligned holes in the beginning which is a special
case we want to allow."

I would extend this slightly. This can even lead to extreme cases where
system goes OOM because the physically hotplugged memory depletes the
available memory before it is onlined.

Again this can be confusing because this is not what is really happening
in practice because we are going to have a multisection memory block
where all sections will be backed by a common reserved space rather than
per section sparse space. I would go with

"
Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables. This implementation uses the beggining of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.
"

There is quite a large leap from __populate_section_memmap to the
memory_block that deserves explaining to not lose all the subtle things
discussed in the past. I think it should be made clear why all the fuzz.
I would structure it as follows:
"
There are some non-obiously things to consider though.  Vmemmap
pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource, try_remove_memory) when the memory is
added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not online
yet it is used. The most obvious side effect is that pfn_to_online_page
returns NULL for those pfns. The current design expects that this
should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a garbage until it
is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the content of those
vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on resume but this
should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway while metadata
is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap page tables).

The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of {on,off}line_pages
is to make each initialization specific to the purpose rather than
special case them in a single function.

I believe we do not need to check for nr_pages as the actual operation
will never run out of range in practice but the code is more subtle than
necessary. Using two different iteration styles is also hurting the code
readability. I would go with the following
	for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; ) {
		unsigned long order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1UL, __ffs(pfn));

		while (start + (1UL << order) > end_pfn)
                        order--;
		(*online_page_callback)(pfn_to_page(pfn), pageblock_order);
		pfn += 1 << order;
	}

which is what __free_pages_memory does already.

I have to say I still dislike this and I would just wrap it inside out
and do the operation from within walk_memory_blocks but I will not
insist.

Uhm, the original author is David, I just added my signed-off-by as a deliverer.
I thought that in that case was ok to stick my Reviewed-by.
Or maybe my signed-off-by carries that implicitly.

What makes you think that?
I have been thinking about this, let us ignore this patch for a moment.

If I poked the code correctly, node_size_lock is taken in:

remove_pfn_range_from_zone()
move_pfn_range_to_zone()

both of them handling {zone,node}->spanned_pages

Then we take it in {offline,online}_pages() for {zone,node}->present_pages.

The other places where we take it are __init functions, so not of interest.

Given that {offline,online}_pages() is serialized by the memory_hotplug lock,
I would say that {node,zone}->{spanned,present}_pages is, at any time, stable?
So, no need for the lock even without considering this patch?

Now, getting back to this patch.
adjust_present_page_count() will be called from memory_block_online(), which
is not holding the memory_hotplug lock yet.
But, we only fiddle with present pages out of {online,offline}_pages() if
we have vmemmap pages, and since that operates on the same memory block,
its lock should serialize that.

I think I went down a rabbit hole, I am slightly confused now.

We always hold the device hotplug lock when onlining/offlining memory.

I agree that the lock might be unnecessary (had the same thoughts a 
while ago), we can look into that in the future.

Yeah, I thought I fixed that, it should have been "That means that we can simply

Ok, that definitely adds a valuable information.

If you mean that IS_ALIGNED(pfn, MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES) can go, that is not
right.
Of course, with your changes below it would not be necesary.

this is kinda what I used to have in the early versions, but it was agreed
with David to split it in two loops to make it explicit.
I can go back to that if it is preferred.

I have to confess I forgot about the details of that dicussion, as we were
quite focused on decoupling vmemmap pages from {online,offline} interface.
Would you mind elaborating a bit more?

Yeah I do expect that one should review own changes but this is not
really anything to lose sleep over.

         * Write access to present_pages at runtime should be protected by
         * mem_hotplug_begin/end(). Any reader who can't tolerant drift of
         * present_pages should get_online_mems() to get a stable value.

Yes. The resize lock is really only relevant to the parallel struct page
initialization during early boot. The hotplug usage seems just a left
over from the past or maybe it has never been really relevant in that
context.

Memory hotplug is always synchronized on the device level.

Ok, I will prepare a follow-up patch to remove the lock in such situations
when this work goes in.

Not that I would insist but I find it better to use common constructs
when it doesn't hurt readability. The order evaluation can be even done
in a trivial helper.

As I've said I will not insist and this can be done in the follow up.
You are iterating over memory blocks just to refuse to do an operation
which can be split to several memory blocks. See
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/YFtPxH0CT5QZsnR1@dhcp22.suse.cz and follow
walk_memory_blocks(start, size, NULL, remove_memory_block_cb)

We'll have to be careful in general when removing memory in different 
granularity than it was added, especially calling arch_remove_memory() 
in smaller granularity than it was added via arch_add_memory(). We might 
fail to tear down the direct map, imagine having mapped a 1GiB page but 
decide to remove individual 128 MiB chunks -- that won't work and the 
direct map would currently remain.

So this should be handled separately in the future.

Uhm, I will have a look how it looks.
Maybe with a nice comment explaining what is going on can make it in.
If not, I can always keep what we have atm.

Ok, thanks for the link.
I will have a look, but I would rather do it as a follow-up.

Agreed but I am not referring to arbitrary hotremove path. All I am
pointing at is to split up to memory blocks and do the same kind of work
on each separately. Partial failures might turn out to be more tricky
and as I've said I do not insist on doing that right now but it is a bit
weird to outright fail the operation even when in fact there are more
blocks to be hot removed in once.

Agreed. But we should also focus on what actual users need to see if 
it's worth the trouble (I know of none that will be using memmap_on_memory).
