During test patch that adjust page_size_mask to map small range ram with
big page size, found page table is setup wrongly for 32bit. And
native_pagetable_init wrong clear pte for pmd with large page support.
1. add more comments about why we are expecting pte.
2. add BUG checking, so next time we could find problem earlier
when we mess up page table setup again.
3. max_low_pfn is not included boundary for low memory mapping.
We should check from max_low_pfn instead of +1.
4. add print out when some pte really get cleared, or we should use
WARN() to find out why above max_low_pfn get mapped? so we could
fix it.

On 32bit, before patcheset that only set page table for ram, we only
call that one time.
Now, we are calling that during every init_memory_mapping if we have holes
under max_low_pfn.
We should only call it one time after all ranges under max_low_page get
mapped just like we did before.
Also that could avoid the risk to run out of pgt_buf in BRK.
Need to update page_table_range_init() to count the pages for kmap page table
at first, and use new added alloc_low_pages() to get pages in sequence.
That will conform to the requirement that pages need to be in low to high order.

32bit kmap mapping needs pages to be used for low to high.
At this point those pages are still from pgt_buf_* from BRK, so it is
ok now.
But we want to move early_ioremap_page_table_range_init() out of
init_memory_mapping() and only call it one time later, that will
make page_table_range_init/page_table_kmap_check/alloc_low_page to
use memblock to get page.
memblock allocation for pages are from high to low.
So will get panic from page_table_kmap_check() that has BUG_ON to do
ordering checking.
This patch add alloc_low_pages to make it possible to allocate serveral
pages at first, and hand out pages one by one from low to high.

Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first.
Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until
all pages get mapped.
alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used
up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage.
Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges,
that will be updated when lower pages get mapped.
Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with
limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have
more mapped pages on hand.
We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done
in alloc_low_page() directly.
At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code.
-v2: update to after fix_xen change,
also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it.
-v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end.

After we add code use buffer in BRK to pre-map buf for page table in
following patch:
x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
it should be safe to remove early_memmap for page table accessing.
Instead we get panic with that.
It turns out that we clear the initial page table wrongly for next range
that is separated by holes.
And it only happens when we are trying to map ram range one by one.
We need to check if the range is ram before clearing page table.
We change the loop structure to remove the extra little loop and use
one loop only, and in that loop will caculate next at first, and check if
[addr,next) is covered by E820_RAM.
-v2: E820_RESERVED_KERN is treated as E820_RAM. EFI one change some E820_RAM

Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT )
and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not
backed by actual DRAM. This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered
by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble
on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs.
Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this:
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable
and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between
0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never
generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark
them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE
while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area.
This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are
marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on
the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller
size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables.

| x86: Fix S4 regression
|
| Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4
| regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4
| resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But,
| like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.
|
| This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
| assignment in the older way.
Have some page table around 512M again, that will prevent kdump to find 512M
under 768M.
We need revert that reverting, so we could put page table high again for 64bit.
Takashi agreed that S4 regression could be something else.

Revert commit 7f1290f2f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")
That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that
change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.
Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.
It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
the BUG.
One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
but previous attempts at that failed.
So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.

kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address
of an arbitrary mapping. This works by checking whether the address
falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the
linear mapping if appropriate.
Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is
incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off
the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page.
This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

Jiri Slaby reported the following:
(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd
had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning
and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h,
I would say, it's gone.
The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of
lumpy reclaim. Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it
aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane
compromise.
When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and
reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim. However, since
commit c654345924 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up
each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when
the patch was developed.
Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the
problem instead of fixing it. The release window gets closer and while
a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot
of CPU is.
This patch reverts commit 83fde0f228 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of
pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be
revisited in the future.

When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)
But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)
Call Trace:
__pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140
pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100
__pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30
lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
...
The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.
So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.
Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.
I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.
