[PATCH V3 (RESEND) 0/3] arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory

[Anshuman Khandual]

This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory
ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages()
and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based
alocation requests.

This series applies on 5.8-rc1.

Pending Question:

altmap_alloc_block_buf() does not have any other remaining users in the
tree after this change. Should it be converted into a static function and
it's declaration be dropped from the header (include/linux/mm.h). Avoided
doing so because I was not sure if there are any off-tree users or not.

Changes in V3:

- Dropped comment from free_hotplug_page_range() per Robin
- Modified comment in unmap_hotplug_range() per Robin
- Enabled altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() per Robin

Changes in V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/4/475)

- Rebased on latest hot-remove series (v14) adding P4D page table support

Changes in V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/23/12)

- Added an WARN_ON() in unmap_hotplug_range() when altmap is
  provided without the page table backing memory being freed

Changes in RFC V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/21/11)

- Changed the commit message on 1/2 patch per Will
- Changed the commit message on 2/2 patch as well
- Rebased on arm64 memory hot remove series (v10)

RFC V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/28/32)

[PATCH V3 (RESEND) 1/3] mm/sparsemem: Enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages()

[Anshuman Khandual]

vmemmap_populate_basepages() is used across platforms to allocate backing
memory for vmemmap mapping. This is used as a standard default choice or
as a fallback when intended huge pages allocation fails. This just creates
entire vmemmap mapping with base pages (PAGE_SIZE).

On arm64 platforms, vmemmap_populate_basepages() is called instead of the
platform specific vmemmap_populate() when ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS
is not enabled as in case for ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs.

At present vmemmap_populate_basepages() does not support allocating from
driver defined struct vmem_altmap while trying to create vmemmap mapping
for a device memory range. It prevents ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES
configs on arm64 from supporting device memory with vmemap_altmap request.

This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages() unlocking
device memory allocation for vmemap mapping on arm64 platforms with 16K or
64K base page configs.

Each architecture should evaluate and decide on subscribing device memory
based base page allocation through vmemmap_populate_basepages(). Hence lets
keep it disabled on all archs in order to preserve the existing semantics.
A subsequent patch enables it on arm64.

[PATCH V3 (RESEND) 2/3] mm/sparsemem: Enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()

[Anshuman Khandual]

There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between
regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available
or not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to allocate
vmemmap mappings. Lets also enable it to handle altmap based device memory
allocation along with existing regular memory allocations. This will help
in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many places.

While here also implement a regular memory allocation fallback mechanism
when the first preferred device memory allocation fails. This will ensure
preserving the existing semantics on powerpc platform. To summarize there
are three different methods to call vmemmap_alloc_block_buf().

(., NULL,   false) /* Allocate from system RAM */
(., altmap, false) /* Allocate from altmap without any fallback */
(., altmap, true)  /* Allocate from altmap with fallback (system RAM) */

Is the fallback argument actually necessary. It may be cleaner to just
leave the code as is with the choice between altmap and NULL. If an arch
needs a fallback (only powerpc), they have the fallback in place
already. I don't see the powerpc code any better after this change.

I'm fine with the altmap argument though.

Okay. Will drop 'fallback' from vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() and update the
callers. There will also be a single change in the subsequent patch i.e
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(PMD_SIZE, node, altmap).

[PATCH V3 (RESEND) 3/3] arm64/mm: Enable vmem_altmap support for vmemmap mappings

[Anshuman Khandual]

Device memory ranges when getting hot added into ZONE_DEVICE, might require
their vmemmap mapping's backing memory to be allocated from their own range
instead of consuming system memory. This prevents large system memory usage
for potentially large device memory ranges. Device driver communicates this
request via vmem_altmap structure. Architecture needs to take this request
into account while creating and tearing down vemmmap mappings.

This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate() and vmemmap_free()
which includes vmemmap_populate_basepages() used for ARM64_16K_PAGES and
ARM64_64K_PAGES configs.

Well, off-tree users probably have an active fork anyway so they could
switch to vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()...

Regardless, can you please update Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst to
keep it in sync with the code?

Sure, will make the function a static and remove it's declaration

Sure, will do.

Re: [PATCH V3 (RESEND) 0/3] arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory

[Jia He]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4401 bytes --]

Hi

I also tested the addional cases on arm64

1, 4k page size + devdax + --map=mem

2, 64k page size + devdax + --map=mem

3, 4k page size + devdax + --map=dev

4, 64k page size + devdax + --map=dev

case 4 is important to verify Anshuman's this series.

Host kernel: 5.7-rc3

guest kernel: 5.7-rc5 with this series

ndctl: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/tree/c7767834871 
<https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/tree/c7767834871f7ce50a2abe1da946e9e16fb08eda>

On the guest:

1. ./ndctl/.libs/ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --map=dev 
-s 1g -f -v -a 64K

  echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
  echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id

The 1g block was added

2. echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/online

modprobe -r dax_pmem

The 1g block was removed


Some minor fix should be applied which is not relevant to this series itself. 
e.g numa id

Cheers,
Justin (Jia He)
