The pcp high watermark is based on the batch size but there is no
relationship between them other than it is convenient to use early in
boot.
This patch takes the first step and bases pcp->high on the zone low
watermark split across the number of CPUs local to a zone while the batch
size remains the same to avoid increasing allocation latencies. The
intent behind the default pcp->high is "set the number of PCP pages such
that if they are all full that background reclaim is not started
prematurely".
Note that in this patch the pcp->high values are adjusted after memory
hotplug events, min_free_kbytes adjustments and watermark scale factor
adjustments but not CPU hotplug events which is handled later in the
series.
On a test KVM instance;
Before grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
high: 378
batch: 63
After grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
high: 649
batch: 63

Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone
lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the
zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger
zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse.
Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch
and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but
also increase allocation latencies.
This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales
pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to
reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It
also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on
recent freeing patterns.
The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also
driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages()
often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a
bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can
takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use
vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing
indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because
of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce
this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but
it should alleviate the problem.
The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite.
pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high
orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the
pcp->high values need to be increased first.
This patch (of 6):
The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high
limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl
is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it
has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase
latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes.
This leads to games where an administrator adjusts
percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and
allocation latency problems.
This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while
avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of
review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar
sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.

alloc_contig_dump_pages() aims for helping debugging page migration
failure by elevated page refcount compared to expected_count. (for the
detail, please look at migrate_page_move_mapping)
However, -ENOMEM is just the case that system is under memory pressure
state, not relevant with page refcount at all. Thus, the dumping page
list is not helpful for the debugging point of view.

Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had
IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This
confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what
zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular.
This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page()
instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs.
free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected
by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages
to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to
the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that
free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be
correct.
Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is
running but that is not a common operation.

__free_pages_ok() disables IRQs before calling a common helper
free_one_page() that acquires the zone lock. This is not safe according
to Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst and in this context, IRQ disabling
is not protecting a per_cpu_pages structure either or a local_lock would
be used.
This patch explicitly acquires the lock with spin_lock_irqsave instead of
relying on a helper. This removes the last instance of local_irq_save()
in page_alloc.c.

IRQs are left disabled for the zone and node VM event counters. This is
unnecessary as the affected counters are allowed to race for preemmption
and IRQs.
This patch reduces the scope of IRQs being disabled via
local_[lock|unlock]_irq on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. One
__mod_zone_freepage_state is still called with IRQs disabled. While this
could be moved out, it's not free on all architectures as some require
IRQs to be disabled for mod_zone_page_state on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.

NUMA statistics are maintained on the zone level for hits, misses, foreign
etc but nothing relies on them being perfectly accurate for functional
correctness. The counters are used by userspace to get a general overview
of a workloads NUMA behaviour but the page allocator incurs a high cost to
maintain perfect accuracy similar to what is required for a vmstat like
NR_FREE_PAGES. There even is a sysctl vm.numa_stat to allow userspace to
turn off the collection of NUMA statistics like NUMA_HIT.
This patch converts NUMA_HIT and friends to be NUMA events with similar
accuracy to VM events. There is a possibility that slight errors will be
introduced but the overall trend as seen by userspace will be similar.
The counters are no longer updated from vmstat_refresh context as it is
unnecessary overhead for counters that may never be read by userspace.
Note that counters could be maintained at the node level to save space but
it would have a user-visible impact due to /proc/zoneinfo.

There is a lack of clarity of what exactly
local_irq_save/local_irq_restore protects in page_alloc.c . It conflates
the protection of per-cpu page allocation structures with per-cpu vmstat
deltas.
This patch protects the PCP structure using local_lock which for most
configurations is identical to IRQ enabling/disabling. The scope of the
lock is still wider than it should be but this is decreased later.
It is possible for the local_lock to be embedded safely within struct
per_cpu_pages but it adds complexity to free_unref_page_list.

The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking
requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and
causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same
per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache
lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second,
PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page
allocator.
This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more
suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required
for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on
!PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe
as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst
local_irq_disable();
spin_lock(&lock);
The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save)
-> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to
separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable
IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the
per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a
custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on
PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By
converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the
locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for
PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a
bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful.
After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and
leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.
zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be
disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events
would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends)
inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on
!PREEMPT_RT.
The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled
which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been
done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order
simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented.
Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the
PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces
the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.
By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the
locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying
NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are
disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split
the locking there.
No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats,
it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @
3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array
variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following.
(CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz)
ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size
Baseline Patched
1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%)
2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%)
3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%)
4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%)

64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%)
128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%)
While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be
interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT
tree into mainline.
This patch (of 9):
The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored
in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact
on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a
node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the
per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache
conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding
is required incurring a memory cost.
This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into
separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some
variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages
structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats).
Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages
structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no
impact overall.

A customer experienced a low-memory situation and decided to issue a
SIGKILL (i.e. a fatal signal). Instead of promptly terminating as one
would expect, the aforementioned task remained unresponsive.
Further investigation indicated that the task was "stuck" in the
reclaim/compaction retry loop. Now, it does not make sense to retry
compaction when a fatal signal is pending.
In the context of try_to_compact_pages(), indeed COMPACT_SKIPPED can be
returned; albeit, not every zone, on the zone list, would be considered in
the case a fatal signal is found to be pending. Yet, in
should_compact_retry(), given the last known compaction result, each zone,
on the zone list, can be considered/or checked (see
compaction_zonelist_suitable()). For example, if a zone was found to
succeed, then reclaim/compaction would be tried again (notwithstanding the
above).
This patch ensures that compaction is not needlessly retried irrespective
of the last known compaction result e.g. if it was skipped, in the
unlikely case a fatal signal is found pending. So, OOM is at least
attempted.

Patch series "Constify struct page arguments".
While working on various solutions to the 32-bit struct page size
regression, one of the problems I found was the networking stack expects
to be able to pass const struct page pointers around, and the mm doesn't
provide a lot of const-friendly functions to call. The root tangle of
problems is that a lot of functions call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), which calls
dump_page(), which calls a lot of functions which don't take a const
struct page (but could be const).
This patch (of 6):
The only caller of __dump_page() now opencodes dump_page(), so remove it
as an externally visible symbol.

[ 0.248496] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff]
[ 0.251376] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff]
[ 0.254256] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff]
[ 0.257144] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff]
the range 0x1424000000 - 0x1428000000 in the beginning of node 0 starts in
the middle of a section and will be considered as a hole during the
initialization of the last section in node 1.
The wrong initialization of the memory map causes panic on boot when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.
Reorder loop order of the memory map initialization so that the outer loop
will always iterate over populated memory regions in the ascending order
and the inner loop will select the zone corresponding to the PFN range.
This way initialization of the struct pages for the memory holes will be
always done for the ranges that are actually not populated.

Dan Carpenter reported the following
The patch 0f87d9d30f21: "mm/page_alloc: add an array-based interface
to the bulk page allocator" from Apr 29, 2021, leads to the following
static checker warning:
mm/page_alloc.c:5338 __alloc_pages_bulk()
warn: potentially one past the end of array 'page_array[nr_populated]'
The problem can occur if an array is passed in that is fully populated.
That potentially ends up allocating a single page and storing it past
the end of the array. This patch returns 0 if the array is fully
populated.

In the event that somebody would call this with an already fully
populated page_array, the last loop iteration would do an access beyond
the end of page_array.
It's of course extremely unlikely that would ever be done, but this
triggers my internal static analyzer. Also, if it really is not
supposed to be invoked this way (i.e., with no NULL entries in
page_array), the nr_populated<nr_pages check could simply be removed
instead.

Recently we found that there is a lot MemFree left in /proc/meminfo
after do a lot of pages soft offline, it's not quite correct.
Before Oscar's rework of soft offline for free pages [1], if we soft
offline free pages, these pages are left in buddy with HWPoison flag,
and NR_FREE_PAGES is not updated immediately. So the difference between
NR_FREE_PAGES and real number of available free pages is also even big
at the beginning.
However, with the workload running, when we catch HWPoison page in any
alloc functions subsequently, we will remove it from buddy, meanwhile
update the NR_FREE_PAGES and try again, so the NR_FREE_PAGES will get
more and more closer to the real number of available free pages.
(regardless of unpoison_memory())
Now, for offline free pages, after a successful call
take_page_off_buddy(), the page is no longer belong to buddy allocator,
and will not be used any more, but we missed accounting NR_FREE_PAGES in
this situation, and there is no chance to be updated later.
Do update in take_page_off_buddy() like rmqueue() does, but avoid double
counting if some one already set_migratetype_isolate() on the page.

zone_pcp_reset allegedly protects against a race with drain_pages using
local_irq_save but this is bogus. local_irq_save only operates on the
local CPU. If memory hotplug is running on CPU A and drain_pages is
running on CPU B, disabling IRQs on CPU A does not affect CPU B and
offers no protection.
This patch deletes IRQ disable/enable on the grounds that IRQs protect
nothing and assumes the existing hotplug paths guarantees the PCP cannot
be used after zone_pcp_enable(). That should be the case already
because all the pages have been freed and there is no page to put on the
PCP lists.

Function current_gfp_context() is called after fast path. However, soon
we will add more constraints which will also limit zones based on
context. Move this call into fast path, and apply the correct
constraints for all allocations.
Also update .reclaim_idx based on value returned by
current_gfp_context() because it soon will modify the allowed zones.
Note:
With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path,
but we already load current->flags in fast-path:
__alloc_pages()
prepare_alloc_pages()
current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags);
Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we
will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and
therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not
return pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used
for long term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done
on any CMA pages.
When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it
is focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of
pages that need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any
long term pins as well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag
for that usecase as well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which
defines an allocation context which can only get pages suitable for
long-term pins.
Also rename: memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore to
memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore() and make the new functions
common.

size_t in cma_alloc is confusing since it makes people think it's byte
count, not pages. Change it to unsigned long[1].
The unsigned int in cma_release is also not right so change it. Since we
have unsigned long in cma_release, free_contig_range should also respect
it.

Currently, migrate_[prep|finish] is merely a wrapper of
lru_cache_[disable|enable]. There is not much to gain from having
additional abstraction.
Use lru_cache_[disable|enable] instead of migrate_[prep|finish], which
would be more descriptive.
note: migrate_prep_local in compaction.c changed into lru_add_drain to
avoid CPU schedule cost with involving many other CPUs to keep old
behavior.

LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It
could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than
the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of
migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all
before migrate_pages call.
However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the
draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep
preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have
retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail
but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race
between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration
failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end.
To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during
ongoing migration until migrate is done.
Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times
migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync
migration) with below debug code.
int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page,
..
..
if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) {
printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc);
dump_page(page, "fail to migrate");
}
The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in
background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500
during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced
from 400 to 30.
The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently
drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather
suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation.
With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in
line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as
well.

By definition, COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events needs to be counted when there
is 'At least in one zone compaction wasn't deferred or skipped from the
direct compaction'. And when compaction is skipped or deferred,
COMPACT_SKIPPED will be returned but it will still go and update these
compaction events which is wrong in the sense that COMPACT[STALL|FAIL]
is counted without even trying the compaction.
Correct this by skipping the counting of these events when
COMPACT_SKIPPED is returned for compaction. This indirectly also avoid
the unnecessary try into the get_page_from_freelist() when compaction is
not even tried.
There is a corner case where compaction is skipped but still count
COMPACTSTALL event, which is that IRQ came and freed the page and the
same is captured in capture_control.

RECLAIM_ZONE was assumed to be unused because it was never explicitly
used in the kernel. However, there were a number of places where it was
checked implicitly by checking 'node_reclaim_mode' for a zero value.
These zero checks are not great because it is not obvious what a zero
mode *means* in the code. Replace them with a helper which makes it
more obvious: node_reclaim_enabled().
This helper also provides a handy place to explicitly check the
RECLAIM_ZONE bit itself. Check it explicitly there to make it more
obvious where the bit can affect behavior.
This should have no functional impact.

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.

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.

Patch series "Make alloc_contig_range handle Hugetlb pages", v10.
alloc_contig_range lacks the ability to handle 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 aims to improve alloc_contig_range->isolate_migratepages_block, so
that 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.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 5061512 kB
MemFree: 3319396 kB
MemAvailable: 3457144 kB
...
HugePages_Total: 512
HugePages_Free: 512
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
The huge pages get partially allocate from ZONE_MOVABLE. Try unplugging
1G via virtio-mem (remember, all ZONE_MOVABLE). Inside the guest:
[ 180.058992] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy
[ 180.060531] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy
[ 180.061972] alloc_contig_range: [1b8000, 1c0000) PFNs busy

[ 180.069598] alloc_contig_range: [1bfc00, 1c0000) PFNs busy"
And then with this patchset running:
"Same experiment with ZONE_MOVABLE:
a) Free huge pages: all memory can get unplugged again.
b) Allocated/populated but idle huge pages: all memory can get unplugged
again.
c) Allocated/populated but all 512 huge pages are read/written in a
loop: all memory can get unplugged again, but I get a single
[ 121.192345] alloc_contig_range: [180000, 188000) PFNs busy
Most probably because it happened to try migrating a huge page
while it was busy. As virtio-mem retries on ZONE_MOVABLE a couple of
times, it can deal with this temporary failure.
Last but not least, I did something extreme:
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 5061568 kB
MemFree: 186560 kB
MemAvailable: 354524 kB
...
HugePages_Total: 2048
HugePages_Free: 2048
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Triggering unplug would require to dissolve+alloc - which now fails
when trying to allocate an additional ~512 huge pages (1G).
As expected, I can properly see memory unplug not fully succeeding. +
I get a fairly continuous stream of
[ 226.611584] alloc_contig_range: [19f400, 19f800) PFNs busy
...
But more importantly, the hugepage count remains stable, as configured
by the admin (me):
HugePages_Total: 2048
HugePages_Free: 2048
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0"
This patch (of 7):
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. Although we
can save some cycles by backing off ealier

On !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC (like ia64) debug_pagealloc=1 implies
page_poison=on:
if (page_poisoning_enabled() ||
(!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) &&
debug_pagealloc_enabled()))
static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
page_poison=on needs to override init_on_free=1.
Before the change it did not work as expected for the following case:
- have PAGE_POISONING=y
- have page_poison unset
- have !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC arch (like ia64)
- have init_on_free=1
- have debug_pagealloc=1
That way we get both keys enabled:
- static_branch_enable(&init_on_free);
- static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
which leads to poisoned pages returned for __GFP_ZERO pages.
After the change we execute only:
- static_branch_enable(&_page_poisoning_enabled);
and ignore init_on_free=1.

Looking at perf-report and ASM-code for __alloc_pages_bulk() it is clear
that the code activated is suboptimal. The compiler guesses wrong and
places unlikely code at the beginning. Due to the use of WARN_ON_ONCE()
macro the UD2 asm instruction is added to the code, which confuse the
I-cache prefetcher in the CPU.

The proposed callers for the bulk allocator store pages from the bulk
allocator in an array. This patch adds an array-based interface to the
API to avoid multiple list iterations. The page list interface is
preserved to avoid requiring all users of the bulk API to allocate and
manage enough storage to store the pages.

This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and
__alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be
allocated and added to a list.
The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and
may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the
cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail
an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if
necessary.
Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be
improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it
available early to determine what semantics are required by different
callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

Patch series "Introduce a bulk order-0 page allocator with two in-tree users", v6.
This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the
network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not
efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other
semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that,
this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an
operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator. Quoting the
last patch for the high-speed networking use-case
Kernel XDP stats CPU pps Delta
Baseline XDP-RX CPU total 3,771,046 n/a
List XDP-RX CPU total 3,940,242 +4.49%
Array XDP-RX CPU total 4,249,224 +12.68%
Via the SUNRPC traces of svc_alloc_arg()
Single page: 25.007 us per call over 532,571 calls
Bulk list: 6.258 us per call over 517,034 calls
Bulk array: 4.590 us per call over 517,442 calls
Both potential users in this series are corner cases (NFS and high-speed
networks) so it is unlikely that most users will see any benefit in the
short term. Other potential other users are batch allocations for page
cache readahead, fault around and SLUB allocations when high-order pages
are unavailable. It's unknown how much benefit would be seen by
converting multiple page allocation calls to a single batch or what
difference it may make to headline performance.
Light testing of my own running dbench over NFS passed. Chuck and Jesper
conducted their own tests and details are included in the changelogs.
Patch 1 renames a variable name that is particularly unpopular
Patch 2 adds a bulk page allocator
Patch 3 adds an array-based version of the bulk allocator
Patches 4-5 adds micro-optimisations to the implementation
Patches 6-7 SUNRPC user
Patches 8-9 Network page_pool user
This patch (of 9):
Review feedback of the bulk allocator twice found problems with "alloced"
being a counter for pages allocated. The naming was based on the API name
"alloc" and was based on the idea that verbal communication about malloc
tends to use the fake word "malloced" instead of the fake word mallocated.
To be consistent, this preparation patch renames alloced to allocated in
rmqueue_bulk so the bulk allocator and per-cpu allocator use similar names
when the bulk allocator is introduced.

Currently, debugging CMA allocation failures is quite limited. The most
common source of these failures seems to be page migration which doesn't
provide any useful information on the reason of the failure by itself.
alloc_contig_range can report those failures as it holds a list of
migrate-failed pages.
The information logged by dump_page() has already proven helpful for
debugging allocation issues, like identifying long-term pinnings on
ZONE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA.
Let's use the dynamic debugging infrastructure, such that we avoid
flooding the logs and creating a lot of noise on frequent
alloc_contig_range() calls. This information is helpful for debugging
only.
There are two ifdefery conditions to support common dyndbg options:
- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE
It aims for supporting the feature with only specific file with
adding ccflags.
- CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
It aims for supporting the feature with system wide globally.
A simple example to enable the feature:
Admin could enable the dump like this(by default, disabled)
echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages +p" > control
Admin could disable it.
echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages =_" > control
Detail goes Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst
A concern is utility functions in dump_page use inconsistent
loglevels. In the future, we might want to make the loglevels
used inside dump_page() consistent and eventually rework the way
we log the information here. See [1].

There are only two callers of __alloc_pages() so prune the thicket of
alloc_page variants by combining the two functions together. Current
callers of __alloc_pages() simply add an extra 'NULL' parameter and
current callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() call __alloc_pages() instead.

Patch series "Rationalise __alloc_pages wrappers", v3.
I was poking around the __alloc_pages variants trying to understand why
they each exist, and couldn't really find a good justification for keeping
__alloc_pages and __alloc_pages_nodemask as separate functions. That led
to getting rid of alloc_pages_current() and then I noticed the
documentation was bad, and then I noticed the mempolicy documentation
wasn't included.
Anyway, this is all cleanups & doc fixes.
This patch (of 7):

__alloc_contig_migrate_range already has lru_add_drain_all call via
migrate_prep. It's necessary to move LRU taget pages into LRU list to be
able to isolated. However, lru_add_drain_all call after
__alloc_contig_migrate_range is pointless since it has changed source page
freeing from putback_lru_pages to put_page[1].
This patch removes it.

The information that some PFNs are busy is:
a) not helpful for ordinary users: we don't even know *who* called
alloc_contig_range(). This is certainly not worth a pr_info.*().
b) not really helpful for debugging: we don't have any details *why*
these PFNs are busy, and that is what we usually care about.
c) not complete: there are other cases where we fail alloc_contig_range()
using different paths that are not getting recorded.
For example, we reach this path once we succeeded in isolating pageblocks,
but failed to migrate some pages - which can happen easily on ZONE_NORMAL
(i.e., has_unmovable_pages() is racy) but also on ZONE_MOVABLE i.e., we
would have to retry longer to migrate).
For example via virtio-mem when unplugging memory, we can create quite
some noise (especially with ZONE_NORMAL) that is not of interest to users
- it's expected that some allocations may fail as memory is busy.
Let's just drop that pr_info_ratelimit() and rather implement a dynamic
debugging mechanism in the future that can give us a better reason why
alloc_contig_range() failed on specific pages.

mem_init_print_info() is called in mem_init() on each architecture, and
pass NULL argument, so using void argument and move it into mm_init().
