Hi Andrew, I think this is ready to be picked up. v8 -> v9: - Collect final Acked-by/Reviewed-by - Fix up some nits in patch#5 - Reword patch#3's changelog v7 -> v8: - Remove clearing of flag from prep_new_huge_page() - Reworded comment in alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page() by Michal - Adressed feedback from David - Collect Reviewed-by/Acked-by v6 -> v7: - Add patch to move the clearing of HPageFreed flag out of the lock - Add patch to decouple counter handling from prep_new_huge_page(). We end up with two new functions, __prep_new_huge_page() which does the proper initialization of the new huge page, and __prep_account_new_huge_page(), which increments hstate->nr_huge_pages. prep_new_huge_page() still calls both of them (details in patch#4). This comes in handy in patch#5, where the whole operation of replacing the page must be done under the lock. - Remove Reviewed-by/Acked-by from patch#5, as needs to be checked again. v5 -> v6: - Collect Acked-by from Michal - Adressed feedback for patch#2 (expand the comment about migrate_pfn and change return values) - Complete pathc#3's changelog (per Michal) - Place retry lock inside of alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page() v4 -> v5: - Collect Acked-by and Reviewed-by from David and Vlastimil - Drop racy checks in pfn_range_valid_contig (David) - Rebased on top of 5.12-rc3 v3 -> v4: - Addressed some feedback from David and Michal - Make more clear what hugetlb_lock protects in isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page - Start reporting proper error codes from isolate_migratepages_{range,block} - Bail out earlier in __alloc_contig_migrate_range on -ENOMEM - Addressed internal feedback from Vastlimil wrt. compaction code changes v2 -> v3: - Drop usage of high-level generic helpers in favour of low-level approach (per Michal) - Check for the page to be marked as PageHugeFreed - Add a one-time retry in case someone grabbed the free huge page from under us v1 -> v2: - Adressed feedback by Michal - Restrict the allocation to a node with __GFP_THISNODE - Drop PageHuge check in alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page - Re-order comments in isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page - Extend comment in isolate_migratepages_block - Place put_page right after we got the page, otherwise dissolve_free_huge_page will fail RFC -> v1: - Drop RFC - Addressed feedback from David and Mike - Fence off gigantic pages as there is a cyclic dependency between them and alloc_contig_range - Re-organize the code to make race-window smaller and to put all details in hugetlb code - Drop nodemask initialization. First a node will be tried and then we will back to other nodes containing memory (N_MEMORY). Details in patch#1's changelog - Count new page as surplus in case we failed to dissolve the old page and the new one. Details in patch#1. Cover letter: alloc_contig_range lacks the hability for handling HugeTLB pages. This can be problematic for some users, e.g: CMA and virtio-mem, where those users will fail the call if alloc_contig_range ever sees a HugeTLB page, even when those pages lay in ZONE_MOVABLE and are free. That problem can be easily solved by replacing the page in the free hugepage pool. In-use HugeTLB are no exception though, as those can be isolated and migrated as any other LRU or Movable page. This patchset aims for improving alloc_contig_range->isolate_migratepages_block, so HugeTLB pages can be recognized and handled. Since we also need to start reporting errors down the chain (e.g: -ENOMEM due to not be able to allocate a new hugetlb page), isolate_migratepages_{range,block} interfaces need to change to start reporting error codes instead of the pfn == 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme it is using right now. From now on, isolate_migratepages_block will not return the next pfn to be scanned anymore, but -EINTR, -ENOMEM or 0, so we the next pfn to be scanned will be recorded in cc->migrate_pfn field (as it is already done in isolate_migratepages_range()). Below is an insight from David (thanks), where the problem can clearly be seen: "Start a VM with 4G. Hotplug 1G via virtio-mem and online it to ZONE_MOVABLE. Allocate 512 huge pages.

Currently, __alloc_contig_migrate_range can generate -EINTR, -ENOMEM or -EBUSY, and report them down the chain. The problem is that when migrate_pages() reports -ENOMEM, we keep going till we exhaust all the try-attempts (5 at the moment) instead of bailing out. migrate_pages() bails out right away on -ENOMEM because it is considered a fatal error. Do the same here instead of keep going and retrying. Note that this is not fixing a real issue, just a cosmetic change.

Currently, isolate_migratepages_{range,block} and their callers use a pfn == 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme to let the caller know whether there was any error during isolation. This does not work as soon as we need to start reporting different error codes and make sure we pass them down the chain, so they are properly interpreted by functions like e.g: alloc_contig_range. Let us rework isolate_migratepages_{range,block} so we can report error codes. Since isolate_migratepages_block will stop returning the next pfn to be scanned, we reuse the cc->migrate_pfn field to keep track of that.

Pages allocated via the page allocator or CMA get its private field cleared by means of post_alloc_hook(). Pages allocated during boot, that is directly from the memblock allocator, get cleared by paging_init()->..->memmap_init_zone->..->__init_single_page() before any memblock allocation. Based on this ground, let us remove the clearing of the flag from prep_new_huge_page() as it is not needed. This was a leftover from 6c0371490140 ("hugetlb: convert PageHugeFreed to HPageFreed flag"). Previously the explicit clearing was necessary because compound allocations do not get this initialization (see prep_compound_page).

Currently, prep_new_huge_page() performs two functions. It sets the right state for a new hugetlb, and increases the hstate's counters to account for the new page. Let us split its functionality into two separate functions, decoupling the handling of the counters from initializing a hugepage. The outcome is having __prep_new_huge_page(), which only initializes the page , and __prep_account_new_huge_page(), which adds the new page to the hstate's counters. This allows us to be able to set a hugetlb without having to worry about the counter/locking. It will prove useful in the next patch. prep_new_huge_page() still calls both functions.

alloc_contig_range will fail if it ever sees a HugeTLB page within the range we are trying to allocate, even when that page is free and can be easily reallocated. This has proved to be problematic for some users of alloc_contic_range, e.g: CMA and virtio-mem, where those would fail the call even when those pages lay in ZONE_MOVABLE and are free. We can do better by trying to replace such page. Free hugepages are tricky to handle so as to no userspace application notices disruption, we need to replace the current free hugepage with a new one. In order to do that, a new function called alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page is introduced. This function will first try to get a new fresh hugepage, and if it succeeds, it will replace the old one in the free hugepage pool. The free page replacement is done under hugetlb_lock, so no external users of hugetlb will notice the change. To allocate the new huge page, we use alloc_buddy_huge_page(), so we do not have to deal with any counters, and prep_new_huge_page() is not called. This is valulable because in case we need to free the new page, we only need to call __free_pages(). Once we know that the page to be replaced is a genuine 0-refcounted huge page, we remove the old page from the freelist by remove_hugetlb_page(). Then, we can call __prep_new_huge_page() and __prep_account_new_huge_page() for the new huge page to properly initialize it and increment the hstate->nr_huge_pages counter (previously decremented by remove_hugetlb_page()). Once done, the page is enqueued by enqueue_huge_page() and it is ready to be used. There is one tricky case when page's refcount is 0 because it is in the process of being released. A missing PageHugeFreed bit will tell us that freeing is in flight so we retry after dropping the hugetlb_lock. The race window should be small and the next retry should make a forward progress. E.g: CPU0 CPU1 free_huge_page() isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page PageHuge() == T alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page alloc_buddy_huge_page() spin_lock_irq(hugetlb_lock) // PageHuge() && !PageHugeFreed && // !PageCount() spin_unlock_irq(hugetlb_lock) spin_lock_irq(hugetlb_lock) 1) update_and_free_page PageHuge() == F __free_pages() 2) enqueue_huge_page SetPageHugeFreed() spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock) spin_lock_irq(hugetlb_lock) 1) PageHuge() == F (freed by case#1 from CPU0) 2) PageHuge() == T PageHugeFreed() == T - proceed with replacing the page In the case above we retry as the window race is quite small and we have high chances to succeed next time. With regard to the allocation, we restrict it to the node the page belongs to with __GFP_THISNODE, meaning we do not fallback on other node's zones. Note that gigantic hugetlb pages are fenced off since there is a cyclic dependency between them and alloc_contig_range.

alloc_contig_range() will fail if it finds a HugeTLB page within the range, without a chance to handle them. Since HugeTLB pages can be migrated as any LRU or Movable page, it does not make sense to bail out without trying. Enable the interface to recognize in-use HugeTLB pages so we can migrate them, and have much better chances to succeed the call.

pfn_range_valid_contig() bails out when it finds an in-use page or a hugetlb page, among other things. We can drop the in-use page check since __alloc_contig_pages can migrate away those pages, and the hugetlb page check can go too since isolate_migratepages_range is now capable of dealing with hugetlb pages. Either way, those checks are racy so let the end function handle it when the time comes.

Yep, clumsy.
@Andrew: could you please amend that or should I send a new version?
