[PATCH v2 4/5] mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range for sparse-vmemmap

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Tue Jun 25 2019 - 03:53:22 EST

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
(~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.

a) has turned out to be a problem for memory hotplug based ballooning
because the userspace might not react in time to online memory while
the memory consumed during physical hotadd consumes enough memory to
push system to OOM. 31bc3858ea3e ("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining
policy for the newly added memory") has been added to workaround that
problem.

I have also seen hot-add operations failing on powerpc due to the fact
that we try to use order-8 pages. If the base page size is 64KB, this
gives us 16MB, and if we run out of those, we simply fail.
One could arge that we can fall back to basepages as we do in x86_64, but
we can do better 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 reuse vmem_altmap infrastructure to override
the default allocator used by __vmemap_populate. Once the memmap is
allocated we need a way to mark altmap pfns used for the allocation.
If MHP_MEMMAP_{DEVICE,MEMBLOCK} flag was passed, we set up the layout of the
altmap structure at the beginning of __add_pages(), and then we call
mark_vmemmap_pages().

Depending on which flag is passed (MHP_MEMMAP_DEVICE or MHP_MEMMAP_MEMBLOCK),
mark_vmemmap_pages() gets called at a different stage.
With MHP_MEMMAP_MEMBLOCK, we call it once we have populated the sections
fitting in a single memblock, while with MHP_MEMMAP_DEVICE we wait until all
sections have been populated.

mark_vmemmap_pages() marks the pages as vmemmap and sets some metadata:

The current layout of the Vmemmap pages are:

[Head->refcount] : Nr sections used by this altmap
[Head->private] : Nr of vmemmap pages
[Tail->freelist] : Pointer to the head page

This is done to easy the computation we need in some places.
E.g:

Example 1)
We hot-add 1GB on x86_64 (memory block 128MB) using
MHP_MEMMAP_DEVICE:

head->_refcount = 8 sections
head->private = 4096 vmemmap pages
tail's->freelist = head

Example 2)
We hot-add 1GB on x86_64 using MHP_MEMMAP_MEMBLOCK:

[at the beginning of each memblock]
head->_refcount = 1 section
head->private = 512 vmemmap pages
tail's->freelist = head

We have the refcount because when using MHP_MEMMAP_DEVICE, we need to know
how much do we have to defer the call to vmemmap_free().
The thing is that the first pages of the hot-added range are used to create
the memmap mapping, so we cannot remove those first, otherwise we would blow up
when accessing the other pages.

What we do is that since when we hot-remove a memory-range, sections are being
removed sequentially, we wait until we hit the last section, and then we free
the hole range to vmemmap_free backwards.
We know that it is the last section because in every pass we
decrease head->_refcount, and when it reaches 0, we got our last section.

We also have to be careful about those pages during online and offline
operations. They are simply skipped, so online will keep them
reserved and so unusable for any other purpose and offline ignores them
so they do not block the offline operation.

In offline operation we only have to check for one particularity.
Depending on how large was the hot-added range, and using MHP_MEMMAP_DEVICE,
can be that one or more than one memory block is filled with only vmemmap pages.
We just need to check for this case and skip 1) isolating 2) migrating,
because those pages do not need to be migrated anywhere, they are self-hosted.
