6213834c10 mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: improve hugetlb_vmemmap code readability 
There is a discussion about the name of hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free in
thread [1].  The suggestion suggested by David is rename "alloc/free" to
"optimize/restore" to make functionalities clearer to users, "optimize"
means the function will optimize vmemmap pages, while "restore" means
restoring its vmemmap pages discared before.  This commit does this.

Another discussion is the confusion RESERVE_VMEMMAP_NR isn't used
explicitly for vmemmap_addr but implicitly for vmemmap_end in
hugetlb_vmemmap_alloc/free.  David suggested we can compute what
hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does now at runtime.  We do not need to worry for
the overhead of computing at runtime since the calculation is simple
enough and those functions are not in a hot path.  This commit has the
following improvements:

  1) The function suffixed name ("optimize/restore") is more expressive.
  2) The logic becomes less weird in hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
  3) The hugetlb_vmemmap_init() does not need to be exported anymore.
  4) A ->optimize_vmemmap_pages field in struct hstate is killed.
  5) There is only one place where checks is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct
     page)) instead of two places.
  6) Add more comments for hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize/restore().
  7) For external users, hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_pages() is used for
     detecting if the HugeTLB's vmemmap pages is optimizable originally.
     In this commit, it is killed and we introduce a new helper
     hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable() to replace it.  The name is more
     expressive.

dff033818a mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: introduce the name HVO 
It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced. 
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.

This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].

5981611d0a mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: cleanup hugetlb_vmemmap related functions 
Patch series "cleanup hugetlb_vmemmap".

The word of "free" is not expressive enough to express the feature of
optimizing vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB, rename this keywork
to "optimize" is more clear.  In this series, cheanup related codes to
make it more clear and expressive.  This is suggested by David.


This patch (of 3):

The word of "free" is not expressive enough to express the feature of
optimizing vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB, rename this keywork
to "optimize".  And some function names are prefixed with "huge_page"
instead of "hugetlb", it is easily to be confused with THP.  In this
patch, cheanup related functions to make code more clear and expressive.

774905878f mm: hugetlb: introduce nr_free_vmemmap_pages in the struct hstate 
All the infrastructure is ready, so we introduce nr_free_vmemmap_pages
field in the hstate to indicate how many vmemmap pages associated with a
HugeTLB page that can be freed to buddy allocator.  And initialize it in
the hugetlb_vmemmap_init().  This patch is actual enablement of the
feature.

There are only (RESERVE_VMEMMAP_SIZE / sizeof(struct page)) struct page
structs that can be used when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, so add a
BUILD_BUG_ON to catch invalid usage of the tail struct page.

ad2fa3717b mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page 
When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate
the vmemmap pages associated with it.  However, we may not be able to
allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure.  In
this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page.  This changes behavior
in some corner cases as listed below:

 1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages).

    User needs to try again later.

 2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application.

    Try again later when freeing a huge page next time.

 3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via
    offline_pages().

    This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but
    not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages.  We may even
    be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to
    dissolve the source huge page.  This will prevent an offline
    operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to
    succeed on movable zones.  Users that depend on memory hotplug
    to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the
    memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of
    possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations.

 4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via
    alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly
    affects CMA and virtio-mem.

    Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully.
    CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA
    region.

Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context.  In order for
those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g.  trigger oom killer)
__GFP_NORETRY is used.  hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because
a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too
easily under memory pressure.  GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory
reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under
heavy hugetlb freeing.

b65d4adbc0 mm: hugetlb: defer freeing of HugeTLB pages 
In the subsequent patch, we should allocate the vmemmap pages when freeing
a HugeTLB page.  But update_and_free_page() can be called under any
context, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL to allocate vmemmap pages.  However,
we can defer the actual freeing in a kworker to prevent from using
GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages.

The __update_and_free_page() is where the call to allocate vmemmmap pages
will be inserted.

f41f2ed43c mm: hugetlb: free the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page 
Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure.  We __know__ that
we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to
store metadata associated with each HugeTLB.

There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB
page.  For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same.  So we can
reuse first page of tail page structures.  We map the virtual addresses of
the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct,
and then free these page frames.  Therefore, we need to reserve two pages
as vmemmap areas.

When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap
pages associated with each HugeTLB page.  It is more appropriate to do it
in the prep_new_huge_page().

The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages
associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which
means the feature is disabled.  We will enable it once all the
infrastructure is there.
