<id>urn:sha1:8992f97a03be42cb89ee7238da56cdd8f49d4bbb</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 02917e9f8676207a4c577d4d94eae12bf348e9d7 upstream.

At Maintainer Summit, Greg brought up a topic I proposed around
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL usage.  The motivation was considerations for when
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is warranted and the criteria for taking the exceptional
step of reclassifying an existing export.  Specifically, I wanted to make
the case that although the line is fuzzy and hard to specify in abstract
terms, it is nonetheless clear that devm_memremap_pages() and HMM
(Heterogeneous Memory Management) have crossed it.  The
devm_memremap_pages() facility should have been EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the
beginning, and HMM as a derivative of that functionality should have
naturally picked up that designation as well.

Contrary to typical rules, the HMM infrastructure was merged upstream with
zero in-tree consumers.  There was a promise at the time that those users
would be merged "soon", but it has been over a year with no drivers
arriving.  While the Nouveau driver is about to belatedly make good on
that promise it is clear that HMM was targeted first and foremost at an
out-of-tree consumer.

HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), a facility Christoph and I
spearheaded to support persistent memory.  It combines a device lifetime
model with a dynamically created 'struct page' / memmap array for any
physical address range.  It enables coordination and control of the many
code paths in the kernel built to interact with memory via 'struct page'
objects.  With HMM the integration goes even deeper by allowing device
drivers to hook and manipulate page fault and page free events.

One interpretation of when EXPORT_SYMBOL is suitable is when it is
exporting stable and generic leaf functionality.  The
devm_memremap_pages() facility continues to see expanding use cases,
peer-to-peer DMA being the most recent, with no clear end date when it
will stop attracting reworks and semantic changes.  It is not suitable to
export devm_memremap_pages() as a stable 3rd party driver API due to the
fact that it is still changing and manipulates core behavior.  Moreover,
it is not in the best interest of the long term development of the core
memory management subsystem to permit any external driver to effectively
define its own system-wide memory management policies with no
encouragement to engage with upstream.

I am also concerned that HMM was designed in a way to minimize further
engagement with the core-MM.  That, with these hooks in place,
device-drivers are free to implement their own policies without much
consideration for whether and how the core-MM could grow to meet that
need.  Going forward not only should HMM be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, but the
core-MM should be allowed the opportunity and stimulus to change and
address these new use cases as first class functionality.

Original changelog:

hmm_devmem_add(), and hmm_devmem_add_resource() duplicated
devm_memremap_pages() and are now simple now wrappers around the core
facility to inject a dev_pagemap instance into the global pgmap_radix and
hook page-idle events.  The devm_memremap_pages() interface is base
infrastructure for HMM.  HMM has more and deeper ties into the kernel
memory management implementation than base ZONE_DEVICE which is itself a
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL facility.

Originally, the HMM page structure creation routines copied the
devm_memremap_pages() code and reused ZONE_DEVICE.  A cleanup to unify the
implementations was discussed during the initial review:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.2/00812.html Recent work to
extend devm_memremap_pages() for the peer-to-peer-DMA facility enabled
this cleanup to move forward.

In addition to the integration with devm_memremap_pages() HMM depends on
other GPL-only symbols:

    mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release
    percpu_ref
    region_intersects
    __class_create

It goes further to consume / indirectly expose functionality that is not
exported to any other driver:

    alloc_pages_vma
    walk_page_range

HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), and extends deep core-kernel
fundamentals. Similar to devm_memremap_pages(), mark its entry points
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

commit bbecd94e6c514a1559fc1a7749a62715958137b1 upstream.

Commit e8d513483300 ("memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to
use struct dev_pagemap") refactored devm_memremap_pages() to allow a
dev_pagemap instance to be supplied.  Passing in a dev_pagemap interface
simplifies the design of pgmap type drivers in that they can rely on
container_of() to lookup any private data associated with the given
dev_pagemap instance.

In addition to the cleanups this also gives hmm users multi-order-radix
improvements that arrived with commit ab1b597ee0e4 "mm,
devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups"

As part of the conversion to the devm_memremap_pages() method of
handling the percpu_ref relative to when pages are put, the percpu_ref
completion needs to move to hmm_devmem_ref_exit().  See 71389703839e
("mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page...") for details.

commit 58ef15b765af0d2cbe6799ec564f1dc485010ab8 upstream.

devm semantics arrange for resources to be torn down when
device-driver-probe fails or when device-driver-release completes.
Similar to devm_memremap_pages() there is no need to support an explicit
remove operation when the users properly adhere to devm semantics.

Note that devm_kzalloc() automatically handles allocating node-local
memory.

Invalidate device page table at start of invalidation and invalidate in
progress CPU page table snapshooting at both start and end of any
invalidation.

This is helpful when device need to dirty page because the device page
table report the page as dirty.  Dirtying page must happen in the start
mmu notifier callback and not in the end one.

Use a structure to gather all the parameters for the update callback.
This make it easier when adding new parameters by avoiding having to
update all callback function signature.

The hmm_update structure is always associated with a mmu_notifier
callbacks so we are not planing on grouping multiple updates together.
Nor do we care about page size for the range as range will over fully
cover the page being invalidated (this is a mmu_notifier property).

<title>mm/hmm: properly handle migration pmd</title>

<content type='text'>
Before this patch migration pmd entry (!pmd_present()) would have been
treated as a bad entry (pmd_bad() returns true on migration pmd entry).
The outcome was that device driver would believe that the range covered by
the pmd was bad and would either SIGBUS or simply kill all the device's
threads (each device driver decide how to react when the device tries to
access poisonnous or invalid range of memory).

This patch explicitly handle the case of migration pmd entry which are non
present pmd entry and either wait for the migration to finish or report
empty range (when device is just trying to pre- fill a range of virtual
address and thus do not want to wait or trigger page fault).

<content type='text'>
In hmm_mirror_unregister(), mm-&gt;hmm is set to NULL and then
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is called.  That creates a small
window where mmu_notifier can call mmu_notifier_ops with mm-&gt;hmm equal to
NULL.  Fix this by first unregistering mmu notifier callbacks and then
setting mm-&gt;hmm to NULL.

Similarly in hmm_register(), set mm-&gt;hmm before registering mmu_notifier
callbacks so callback functions always see mm-&gt;hmm set.

Patch series "HMM updates, improvements and fixes", v2

Few fixes that only affect HMM users.  Improve the synchronization call
back so that we match was other mmu_notifier listener do and add proper
support to the new blockable flags in the process.

For curious folks here are branches to leverage HMM in various existing
device drivers:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm-nouveau-v01
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm-radeon-v00
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm-intel-v00

More to come (amd gpu, Mellanox, ...)

I expect more of the preparatory work for nouveau will be merge in 4.20
(like we have been doing since 4.16) and i will wait until this patchset
is upstream before pushing the patches that actualy make use of HMM (to
avoid complex tree inter-dependency).

This patch (of 6):

Somehow utf=8 must have been broken.

<title>mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the point where we init pgmap</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=966cf44f637e6aeea7e3d01ba004bf8b5beac78f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:966cf44f637e6aeea7e3d01ba004bf8b5beac78f</id>
<content type='text'>
The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations.  One was
with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock.
The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory
initialization time.  Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a
global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to
the one outside of the lock.  This allows us to avoid serializing the
overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times.

One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and
hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same
way.  One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it
to a poison value.  Since this is something that is exposed to the driver
in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing
hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party
drivers.

Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
 "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
  backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
  possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
  mappings.

  In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:

   1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
      that would typically be handled by the page lock.

   2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
      "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
      the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.

   3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
      accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
      otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.

  A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
  for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
  system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
  Specifically the current behavior is:

     mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
     {1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
     mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
     {1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
     Memory failure: 0xaf34214: reserved kernel page still referenced by 1 users
     [..]
     Memory failure: 0xaf34214: recovery action for reserved kernel page: Failed
     mce: Memory error not recovered
     &lt;reboot&gt;

  ...and with these changes:

     Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x20cb00 at process virtual address 0x7f763dd00000
     Memory failure: 0x20cb00: Killing dax-pmd:5421 due to hardware memory corruption
     Memory failure: 0x20cb00: recovery action for dax page: Recovered

  Given all the cross dependencies I propose taking this through
  nvdimm.git with acks from Naoya, x86/core, x86/RAS, and of course dax
  folks"
