cxl/region: Add memory hotplug notifier for cxl region

When the CXL region is formed, the driver computes the performance data
for the region. However this data is not available at the node data
collection that has been populated by the HMAT during kernel
initialization. Add a memory hotplug notifier to update the access
coordinates to the 'struct memory_target' context kept by the
HMAT_REPORTING code.

Add CXL_CALLBACK_PRI for a memory hotplug callback priority. Set the
priority number to be called before HMAT_CALLBACK_PRI. The CXL update must
happen before hmat_callback().

A new HMAT_REPORTING helper hmat_update_target_coordinates() is added in
order to allow CXL to update the memory_target access coordinates.

A new ext_updated member is added to the memory_target to indicate that
the access coordinates within the memory_target has been updated by an
external agent such as CXL. This prevents data being overwritten by the
hmat_update_target_attrs() triggered by hmat_callback().

mm/memory_hotplug: introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifiers

Patch series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

This series provides "memmap on memory" support on s390 platform. "memmap
on memory" allows struct pages array to be allocated from the hotplugged
memory range instead of allocating it from main system memory.

s390 currently preallocates struct pages array for all potentially
possible memory, which ensures memory onlining always succeeds, but with
the cost of significant memory consumption from the available system
memory during boottime. In certain extreme configuration, this could lead
to ipl failure.

"memmap on memory" ensures struct pages array are populated from self
contained hotplugged memory range instead of depleting the available
system memory and this could eliminate ipl failure on s390 platform.

On other platforms, system might go OOM when the physically hotplugged
memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined. Hence, "memmap
on memory" feature was introduced as described in commit a08a2ae34613
("mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range").

Unlike other architectures, s390 memory blocks are not physically
accessible until it is online. To make it physically accessible two new
memory notifiers MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE / MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE are added and
this notifier lets the hypervisor inform that the memory should be made
physically accessible. This allows for "memmap on memory" initialization
during memory hotplug onlining phase, which is performed before calling
MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier.

Patch 1 introduces MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers
to prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state. New mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced to ensure
altmap cannot be written when adding memory - before it is set online.
This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on memory"
feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.

Patches 2 allocates vmemmap pages from self-contained memory range for
s390. It allocates memory map (struct pages array) from the hotplugged
memory range, rather than using system memory by passing altmap to vmemmap
functions.

Patch 3 removes unhandled memory notifier types on s390.

Patch 4 implements MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers
on s390. MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block physical
accessible via sclp assign command. The notifier ensures self-contained
memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap on memory" on
s390. MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory block to an
inaccessible state via sclp unassign command.

Patch 5 finally enables MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY on s390.


This patch (of 5):

Introduce MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE/MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifiers to
prepare the transition of memory to and from a physically accessible
state. This enhancement is crucial for implementing the "memmap on
memory" feature for s390 in a subsequent patch.

Platforms such as x86 can support physical memory hotplug via ACPI. When
there is physical memory hotplug, ACPI event leads to the memory addition
with the following callchain:

acpi_memory_device_add()
-> acpi_memory_enable_device()
-> __add_memory()

After this, the hotplugged memory is physically accessible, and altmap
support prepared, before the "memmap on memory" initialization in
memory_block_online() is called.

On s390, memory hotplug works in a different way. The available hotplug
memory has to be defined upfront in the hypervisor, but it is made
physically accessible only when the user sets it online via sysfs,
currently in the MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier. This is too late and "memmap
on memory" initialization is performed before calling MEM_GOING_ONLINE
notifier.

During the memory hotplug addition phase, altmap support is prepared and
during the memory onlining phase s390 requires memory to be physically
accessible and then subsequently initiate the "memmap on memory"
initialization process.

The memory provider will handle new MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE /
MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE notifications and make the memory accessible.

The mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE is introduced and is relevant when
used along with MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY, because the altmap cannot be written
(e.g., poisoned) when adding memory -- before it is set online. This
allows for adding memory with an altmap that is not currently made
available by a hypervisor. When onlining that memory, the hypervisor can
be instructed to make that memory accessible via the new notifiers and the
onlining phase will not require any memory allocations, which is helpful
in low-memory situations.

All architectures ignore unknown memory notifiers. Therefore, the
introduction of these new notifiers does not result in any functional
modifications across architectures.

mm/hwpoison: introduce per-memory_block hwpoison counter

Currently PageHWPoison flag does not behave well when experiencing memory
hotremove/hotplug. Any data field in struct page is unreliable when the
associated memory is offlined, and the current mechanism can't tell
whether a memory block is onlined because a new memory devices is
installed or because previous failed offline operations are undone.
Especially if there's a hwpoisoned memory, it's unclear what the best
option is.

So introduce a new mechanism to make struct memory_block remember that a
memory block has hwpoisoned memory inside it. And make any online event
fail if the onlining memory block contains hwpoison. struct memory_block
is freed and reallocated over ACPI-based hotremove/hotplug, but not over
sysfs-based hotremove/hotplug. So the new counter can distinguish these
cases.

drivers/base/memory: determine and store zone for single-zone memory blocks

test_pages_in_a_zone() is just another nasty PFN walker that can easily
stumble over ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges falling into the same memory block
as ordinary system RAM: the memmap of parts of these ranges might possibly
be uninitialized. In fact, we observed (on an older kernel) with UBSAN:

We seem to stumble over a memmap that contains a garbage zone id. While
we could try inserting pfn_to_online_page() calls, it will just make
memory offlining slower, because we use test_pages_in_a_zone() to make
sure we're offlining pages that all belong to the same zone.

Let's just get rid of this PFN walker and determine the single zone of a
memory block -- if any -- for early memory blocks during boot. For memory
onlining, we know the single zone already. Let's avoid any additional
memmap scanning and just rely on the zone information available during
boot.

For memory hot(un)plug, we only really care about memory blocks that:
* span a single zone (and, thereby, a single node)
* are completely System RAM (IOW, no holes, no ZONE_DEVICE)
If one of these conditions is not met, we reject memory offlining.
Hotplugged memory blocks (starting out offline), always meet both
conditions.

There are three scenarios to handle:

(1) Memory hot(un)plug

A memory block with zone == NULL cannot be offlined, corresponding to
our previous test_pages_in_a_zone() check.

After successful memory onlining/offlining, we simply set the zone
accordingly.
* Memory onlining: set the zone we just used for onlining
* Memory offlining: set zone = NULL

So a hotplugged memory block starts with zone = NULL. Once memory
onlining is done, we set the proper zone.

(2) Boot memory with !CONFIG_NUMA

We know that there is just a single pgdat, so we simply scan all zones
of that pgdat for an intersection with our memory block PFN range when
adding the memory block. If more than one zone intersects (e.g., DMA and
DMA32 on x86 for the first memory block) we set zone = NULL and
consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do.

(3) Boot memory with CONFIG_NUMA

At the point in time we create the memory block devices during boot, we
don't know yet which nodes *actually* span a memory block. While we could
scan all zones of all nodes for intersections, overlapping nodes complicate
the situation and scanning all nodes is possibly expensive. But that
problem has already been solved by the code that sets the node of a memory
block and creates the link in the sysfs --
do_register_memory_block_under_node().

So, we hook into the code that sets the node id for a memory block. If
we already have a different node id set for the memory block, we know
that multiple nodes *actually* have PFNs falling into our memory block:
we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used
to do. If there is no node id set, we do the same as (2) for the given
node.

Note that the call order in driver_init() is:
-> memory_dev_init(): create memory block devices
-> node_dev_init(): link memory block devices to the node and set the
node id

So in summary, we detect if there is a single zone responsible for this
memory block and we consequently store the zone in that case in the
memory block, updating it during memory onlining/offlining.

mm/memory_hotplug: improved dynamic memory group aware "auto-movable" online policy

Currently, the "auto-movable" online policy does not allow for hotplugged
KERNEL (ZONE_NORMAL) memory to increase the amount of MOVABLE memory we
can have, primarily, because there is no coordiantion across memory
devices and we don't want to create zone-imbalances accidentially when
unplugging memory.

However, within a single memory device it's different. Let's allow for
KERNEL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for more MOVABLE
within the same memory group. The only thing we have to take care of is
that the managing driver avoids zone imbalances by unplugging MOVABLE
memory first, otherwise there can be corner cases where unplug of memory
could result in (accidential) zone imbalances.

virtio-mem is the only user of dynamic memory groups and recently added
support for prioritizing unplug of ZONE_MOVABLE over ZONE_NORMAL, so we
don't need a new toggle to enable it for dynamic memory groups.

We limit this handling to dynamic memory groups, because:

* We want to keep the runtime overhead for collecting stats when
onlining a single memory block small. We tend to have only a handful of
dynamic memory groups, but we can have quite some static memory groups
(e.g., 256 DIMMs).

* It doesn't make too much sense for static memory groups, as we try
onlining all applicable memory blocks either completely to ZONE_MOVABLE
or not. In ordinary operation, we won't have a mixture of zones within
a static memory group.

When adding memory to a dynamic memory group, we'll first online memory to
ZONE_MOVABLE as long as early KERNEL memory allows for it. Then, we'll
online the next unit(s) to ZONE_NORMAL, until we can online the next
unit(s) to ZONE_MOVABLE.

For a simple virtio-mem device with a MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio of 3:1, it will
result in a layout like:

[M][M][M][M][M][M][M][M][N][M][M][M][N][M][M][M]...
^ movable memory due to early kernel memory
^ allows for more movable memory ...
^-----^ ... here
^ allows for more movable memory ...
^-----^ ... here

While the created layout is sub-optimal when it comes to contiguous zones,
it gives us the maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a
device; we can grow small VMs really big in small steps, and still shrink
reliably to e.g., 1/4 of the maximum VM size in this example, removing
full memory blocks along with meta data more reliably.

Mark dynamic memory groups in the xarray such that we can efficiently
iterate over them when collecting stats. In usual setups, we have one
virtio-mem device per NUMA node, and usually only a small number of NUMA
nodes.

Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this
behavior configurable.

drivers/base/memory: introduce "memory groups" to logically group memory blocks

In our "auto-movable" memory onlining policy, we want to make decisions
across memory blocks of a single memory device. Examples of memory
devices include ACPI memory devices (in the simplest case a single DIMM)
and virtio-mem. For now, we don't have a connection between a single
memory block device and the real memory device. Each memory device
consists of 1..X memory block devices.

Let's logically group memory blocks belonging to the same memory device in
"memory groups". Memory groups can span multiple physical ranges and a
memory group itself does not contain any information regarding physical
ranges, only properties (e.g., "max_pages") necessary for improved memory
onlining.

Introduce two memory group types:

1) Static memory group: E.g., a single ACPI memory device, consisting
of 1..X memory resources. A memory group consists of 1..Y memory
blocks. The whole group is added/removed in one go. If any part
cannot get offlined, the whole group cannot be removed.

2) Dynamic memory group: E.g., a single virtio-mem device. Memory is
dynamically added/removed in a fixed granularity, called a "unit",
consisting of 1..X memory blocks. A unit is added/removed in one go.
If any part of a unit cannot get offlined, the whole unit cannot be
removed.

In case of 1) we usually want either all memory managed by ZONE_MOVABLE or
none. In case of 2) we usually want to have as many units as possible
managed by ZONE_MOVABLE. We want a single unit to be of the same type.

For now, memory groups are an internal concept that is not exposed to user
space; we might want to change that in the future, though.

add_memory() users can specify a mgid instead of a nid when passing the
MHP_NID_IS_MGID flag.

mm: sparse: pass section_nr to find_memory_block

With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME enabled, __section_nr() which converts
mem_section to section_nr could be costly since it iterates all section
roots to check if the given mem_section is in its range.

On the other hand, __nr_to_section() which converts section_nr to
mem_section can be done in O(1).

Let's pass section_nr instead of mem_section ptr to find_memory_block() in
order to reduce needless iterations.

mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range

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)
This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
it is onlined.
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
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.

There are some non-obviously 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 although 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.

As per above, the functions that are introduced are:

- 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:
Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.

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.

drivers/base/memory: don't store phys_device in memory blocks

No need to store the value for each and every memory block, as we can
easily query the value at runtime. Reshuffle the members to optimize the
memory layout. Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for
and why it's legacy nowadays.

"phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3],
back when they were still part of s390x-tools. They were later replaced
by the variants in linux-utils. For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain
lsmem/chmem from s390-utils. RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux
on s390x [4].

"phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit
3947be1969a9 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in
2005. It always returned 0.

s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set
by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba0b2f ("memory hotplug/s390: set
phys_device").

For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to
the same storage increment (RZM). Only if all memory block devices
comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could
actually be removed in the hypervisor.

Since commit e5d709bb5fb7 ("s390/memory hotplug: provide
memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans
at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really
helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools).

There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context;
however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces
[1].

drivers/base/memory.c: drop section_count

Patch series "mm: drop superfluous section checks when onlining/offlining".

Let's drop some superfluous section checks on the onlining/offlining path.

This patch (of 3):

Since commit c5e79ef561b0 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: don't allow to
online/offline memory blocks with holes") we have a generic check in
offline_pages() that disallows offlining memory blocks with holes.

Memory blocks with missing sections are just another variant of these type
of blocks. We can stop checking (and especially storing) present
sections. A proper error message is now printed why offlining failed.

section_count was initially introduced in commit 07681215975e ("Driver
core: Add section count to memory_block struct") in order to detect when
it is okay to remove a memory block. It was used in commit 26bbe7ef6d5c
("drivers/base/memory.c: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with missing
sections") to disallow offlining memory blocks with missing sections. As
we refactored creation/removal of memory devices and have a proper check
for holes in place, we can drop the section_count.

This also removes a leftover comment regarding the mem_sysfs_mutex, which
was removed in commit 848e19ad3c33 ("drivers/base/memory.c: drop the
mem_sysfs_mutex").

mm/memory_hotplug: fix try_offline_node()

try_offline_node() is pretty much broken right now:

- The node span is updated when onlining memory, not when adding it. We
ignore memory that was mever onlined. Bad.

- We touch possible garbage memmaps. The pfn_to_nid(pfn) can easily
trigger a kernel panic. Bad for memory that is offline but also bad
for subsection hotadd with ZONE_DEVICE, whereby the memmap of the
first PFN of a section might contain garbage.

- Sections belonging to mixed nodes are not properly considered.

As memory blocks might belong to multiple nodes, we would have to walk
all pageblocks (or at least subsections) within present sections.
However, we don't have a way to identify whether a memmap that is not
online was initialized (relevant for ZONE_DEVICE). This makes things
more complicated.

Luckily, we can piggy pack on the node span and the nid stored in memory
blocks. Currently, the node span is grown when calling
move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory, and shrunk when
removing memory, before calling try_offline_node(). Sysfs links are
created via link_mem_sections(), e.g., during boot or when adding
memory.

If the node still spans memory or if any memory block belongs to the
nid, we don't set the node offline. As memory blocks that span multiple
nodes cannot get offlined, the nid stored in memory blocks is reliable
enough (for such online memory blocks, the node still spans the memory).

Introduce for_each_memory_block() to efficiently walk all memory blocks.

Note: We will soon stop shrinking the ZONE_DEVICE zone and the node span
when removing ZONE_DEVICE memory to fix similar issues (access of
garbage memmaps) - until we have a reliable way to identify whether
these memmaps were properly initialized. This implies later, that once
a node had ZONE_DEVICE memory, we won't be able to set a node offline -
which should be acceptable.

Since commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate
hotadded memory to zones until online") memory that is added is not
assoziated with a zone/node (memmap not initialized). The introducing
commit 60a5a19e7419 ("memory-hotplug: remove sysfs file of node")
already missed that we could have multiple nodes for a section and that
the zone/node span is updated when onlining pages, not when adding them.

I tested this by hotplugging two DIMMs to a memory-less and cpu-less
NUMA node. The node is properly onlined when adding the DIMMs. When
removing the DIMMs, the node is properly offlined.

Each memory block spans the same amount of sections/pages/bytes. The size

what we can easily calculate - and the calculations even look simpler now.

Michal brought up the idea of variable-sized memory blocks. However, if
we ever implement something like this, we will need an API compatibility
switch and reworks at various places (most code assumes a fixed memory
block size). So let's cleanup what we have right now.

While at it, fix the variable naming in register_mem_sect_under_node() -
we no longer talk about a single section.

As nobody checks the return value of memory_dev_init(), turn it into a

we'll crash later during boot when core/drivers expect that the memory
device infrastructure (including memory_block_size_bytes()) works as

I think long term, we should move the whole memory block size
configuration (set_memory_block_size_order() and
