[PATCH v4 0/8] selective merging of system ram resources

Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks.
Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon.

This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual
resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant for
DIMMs, exposed via /proc/iomem to user space). We really want to merge
added resources in this scenario where possible.

Resources are effectively stored in a list-based tree. Having a lot of
resources not only wastes memory, it also makes traversing that tree more
expensive, and makes /proc/iomem explode in size (e.g., requiring
kexec-tools to manually merge resources when creating a kdump header. The
current kexec-tools resource count limit does not allow for more than
~100GB of memory with a memory block size of 128MB on x86-64).

Let's allow to selectively merge system ram resources by specifying a
new flag for add_memory*(). Patch #5 contains a /proc/iomem example. Only
tested with virtio-mem.

v3 -> v4:
- "mm/memory_hotplug: guard more declarations by
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG"
-- Fix configs without CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG with the new mhp_t type
-- Did a buch of cross-compiles with different configs, hope there isn't
   anything I missed.

v2 -> v3:
- "mm/memory_hotplug: prepare passing flags to add_memory() and
friends"
-- Use proper __bitwise type for flags
-- Use "MHP_NONE" for empty flags
- Rebased to latest -next, added rb's

v1 -> v2:
- I had another look at v1 after vacation and didn't like it - it felt like
  a hack. So I want forward and added a proper flag to add_memory*(), and
  introduce a clean (non-racy) way to mark System RAM resources mergeable.
- "kernel/resource: move and rename IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED"
-- Clean that flag up, felt wrong in the PnP section
- "mm/memory_hotplug: prepare passing flags to add_memory() and
friends"
-- Previously sent in other context - decided to keep Wei's ack
- "mm/memory_hotplug: MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE to specify merging of System
   RAM resources"
-- Cleaner approach to get the job done by using proper flags and only
   merging the single, specified resource
- "virtio-mem: try to merge system ram resources"
  "xen/balloon: try to merge system ram resources"
  "hv_balloon: try to merge system ram resources"
-- Use the new flag MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE, much cleaner

RFC -> v1:
- Switch from rather generic "merge_child_mem_resources()" where a
resource
  name has to be specified to "merge_system_ram_resources().
- Smaller comment/documentation/patch description changes/fixes

[PATCH v4 1/8] kernel/resource: make release_mem_region_adjustable() never fail

Let's make sure splitting a resource on memory hotunplug will never fail.
This will become more relevant once we merge selected System RAM
resources - then, we'll trigger that case more often on memory hotunplug.

In general, this function is already unlikely to fail. When we remove
memory, we free up quite a lot of metadata (memmap, page tables, memory
block device, etc.). The only reason it could really fail would be when
injecting allocation errors.

All other error cases inside release_mem_region_adjustable() seem to be
sanity checks if the function would be abused in different context -
let's add WARN_ON_ONCE() in these cases so we can catch them.

[PATCH v4 2/8] kernel/resource: move and rename IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED

IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED currently uses an unused PnP bit, which is
always set to 0 by hardware. This is far from beautiful (and confusing),
and the bit only applies to SYSRAM. So let's move it out of the
bus-specific (PnP) defined bits.

We'll add another SYSRAM specific bit soon. If we ever need more bits for
other purposes, we can steal some from "desc", or reshuffle/regroup
what we
have.

[PATCH v4 3/8] mm/memory_hotplug: guard more declarations by CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG

We soon want to pass flags via a new type to add_memory() and friends.
That revealed that we currently don't guard some declarations by
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

While some definitions could be moved to different places, let's keep it
minimal for now and use CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG for all functions only
compiled with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

Wrap sparse_decode_mem_map() into CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, it's only
called from CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG code.

While at it, remove allow_online_pfn_range(), which is no longer around,
and mhp_notimplemented(), which is unused.

[PATCH v4 5/8] mm/memory_hotplug: MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE to specify merging of System RAM resources

Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks.
Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon.

This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual
resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant for
DIMMs, exposed via /proc/iomem to user space). We really want to merge
added resources in this scenario where possible.

Let's provide a flag (MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE) to specify that a resource
either created within add_memory*() or passed via add_memory_resource()
shall be marked mergeable and merged with applicable siblings.

To implement that, we need a kernel/resource interface to mark selected
System RAM resources mergeable (IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_MERGEABLE) and trigger
merging.

Note: We really want to merge after the whole operation succeeded, not
directly when adding a resource to the resource tree (it would break
add_memory_resource() and require splitting resources again when the
operation failed - e.g., due to -ENOMEM).

[PATCH v4 6/8] virtio-mem: try to merge system ram resources

virtio-mem adds memory in memory block granularity, to be able to
remove it in the same granularity again later, and to grow slowly on
demand. This, however, results in quite a lot of resources when
adding a lot of memory. Resources are effectively stored in a list-based
tree. Having a lot of resources not only wastes memory, it also makes
traversing that tree more expensive, and makes /proc/iomem explode in
size (e.g., requiring kexec-tools to manually merge resources later
when e.g., trying to create a kdump header).

Before this patch, we get (/proc/iomem) when hotplugging 2G via virtio-mem
on x86-64:
        [...]
        100000000-13fffffff : System RAM
        140000000-33fffffff : virtio0
          140000000-147ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          148000000-14fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          150000000-157ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          158000000-15fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          160000000-167ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          168000000-16fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          170000000-177ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          178000000-17fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          180000000-187ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          188000000-18fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          190000000-197ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          198000000-19fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          1a0000000-1a7ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          1a8000000-1afffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          1b0000000-1b7ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
          1b8000000-1bfffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
        3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

With this patch, we get (/proc/iomem):
        [...]
        fffc0000-ffffffff : Reserved
        100000000-13fffffff : System RAM
        140000000-33fffffff : virtio0
          140000000-1bfffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
        3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00

Of course, with more hotplugged memory, it gets worse. When unplugging
memory blocks again, try_remove_memory() (via
offline_and_remove_memory()) will properly split the resource up again.

Let's try to merge system ram resources we add, to minimize the number
of resources in /proc/iomem. We don't care about the boundaries of
individual chunks we added.

Yeah, sorry, I dropped the "mm" prefix on the subject of the cover

At least you're in the CC list below with your old mail address (I
assume you monitor that).

I'll try to use your new address in the future.

[PATCH] kernel/resource: make iomem_resource implicit in release_mem_region_adjustable()

"mem" in the name already indicates the root, similar to
release_mem_region() and devm_request_mem_region(). Make it implicit.
The only single caller always passes iomem_resource, other parents are
not applicable.

Not planning to send another one as long as there are no further
comments. Seems to be an issue on your side because all patches arrived
on linux-mm (see
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200911103459.10306-1-david at redhat.com/)

You can find patch #4 at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200911103459.10306-5-david at redhat.com/

(which has CC "Wei Yang <richardw.yang at linux.intel.com>")

[PATCH] kernel/resource: Fix use of ternary condition in release_mem_region_adjustable

Clang warns:

kernel/resource.c:1281:53: warning: operator '?:' has lower precedence
than '|'; '|' will be evaluated first
[-Wbitwise-conditional-parentheses]
        new_res = alloc_resource(GFP_KERNEL | alloc_nofail ? __GFP_NOFAIL : 0);

1 warning generated.

Add the parentheses as it was clearly intended for the ternary condition
to be evaluated first.

Presumably, this will be squashed but I included a fixes tag
nonetheless. Apologies if this has already been noticed and fixed
already, I did not find anything on LKML.
