Page reclaim tests zone_is_reclaim_dirty(), but the site that actually
sets this state does zone_set_flag(zone, ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY), sending the
reader through layers indirection just to track down a simple bit.
Remove all zone flag wrappers and just use bitops against zone->flags
directly. It's just as readable and the lines are barely any longer.
Also rename ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY to ZONE_DIRTY to match ZONE_WRITEBACK, and
remove the zone_flags_t typedef.

Nested calls to min/max functions result in shadow warnings in W=2 builds.
Avoid the warning by using the min3 and max3 macros to get the min/max of
3 values instead of nested calls.

When entering the page_alloc slowpath, we wakeup kswapd on every pgdat
according to the zonelist and high_zoneidx. However, this doesn't take
nodemask into account, and could prematurely wakeup kswapd on some
unintended nodes.
This patch uses for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() instead of
for_each_zone_zonelist() in wake_all_kswapds() to avoid the above
situation.

Introduce a helper to dump information about a VMA, this also makes
dump_page_flags more generic and re-uses that so the output looks very
similar to dump_page:

Using seq_open_private() removes boilerplate code from vmalloc_open().
The resultant code is shorter and easier to follow.
However, please note that seq_open_private() call kzalloc() rather than
kmalloc() which may affect timing due to the memory initialisation
overhead.

This is designed to avoid a few ifdefs in .c files but it's obnoxious
because it can cause unsuspecting "migrate_page" symbols to get turned into
"NULL".
Just nuke it and use the ifdefs.

9e7814404b77 "hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans." fixed the
race with the exiting task but this is not enough.
The current code assumes that get_vma_policy(task) should either see
task->mempolicy == NULL or it should be equal to ->task_mempolicy saved
by hold_task_mempolicy(), so we can never race with __mpol_put(). But
this can only work if we can't race with do_set_mempolicy(), and thus
we can't race with another do_set_mempolicy() or do_exit() after that.
However, do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(mmap_sem) can not prevent this
race. This task can exec, change it's ->mm, and call do_set_mempolicy()
after that; in this case they take 2 different locks.
Change hold_task_mempolicy() to use get_task_policy(), it never returns
NULL, and change show_numa_map() to use __get_vma_policy() or fall back
to proc_priv->task_mempolicy.
Note: this is the minimal fix, we will cleanup this code later. I think
hold_task_mempolicy() and release_task_mempolicy() should die, we can
move this logic into show_numa_map(). Or we can move get_task_policy()
outside of ->mmap_sem and !CONFIG_NUMA code at least.

1. vma_policy_mof(task) is simply not safe unless task == current,
it can race with do_exit()->mpol_put(). Remove this arg and update
its single caller.
2. vma can not be NULL, remove this check and simplify the code.

Cleanup + preparation. Every user of get_task_policy() calls it
unconditionally, even if it is not going to use the result.
get_task_policy() is cheap but still this does not look clean, plus
the code looks simpler if get_task_policy() is called only when this
is really needed.
Note: I hope this is correct, but it is not clear why vma_policy_mof()
doesn't fall back to get_task_policy() if ->get_policy() returns NULL.

The deprecation warnings for the scan_unevictable interface triggers by
scripts doing `sysctl -a | grep something else'. This is annoying and not
helpful.
The interface has been defunct since 264e56d8247e ("mm: disable user
interface to manually rescue unevictable pages"), which was in 2011, and
there haven't been any reports of usecases for it, only reports that the
deprecation warnings are annying. It's unlikely that anybody is using
this interface specifically at this point, so remove it.

During development of c/r we've noticed that in case if we need to support
user namespaces we face a problem with capabilities in prctl(PR_SET_MM,
...) call, in particular once new user namespace is created
capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) no longer passes.
A approach is to eliminate CAP_SYS_RESOURCE check but pass all new values
in one bundle, which would allow the kernel to make more intensive test
for sanity of values and same time allow us to support checkpoint/restore
of user namespaces.
Thus a new command PR_SET_MM_MAP introduced. It takes a pointer of
prctl_mm_map structure which carries all the members to be updated.
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, struct prctl_mm_map *, size)
struct prctl_mm_map {
__u64 start_code;
__u64 end_code;
__u64 start_data;
__u64 end_data;
__u64 start_brk;
__u64 brk;
__u64 start_stack;
__u64 arg_start;
__u64 arg_end;
__u64 env_start;
__u64 env_end;
__u64 *auxv;
__u32 auxv_size;
__u32 exe_fd;
};
All members except @exe_fd correspond ones of struct mm_struct. To figure
out which available values these members may take here are meanings of the
members.
- start_code, end_code: represent bounds of executable code area
- start_data, end_data: represent bounds of data area
- start_brk, brk: used to calculate bounds for brk() syscall
- start_stack: used when accounting space needed for command
line arguments, environment and shmat() syscall
- arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end: represent memory area
supplied for command line arguments and environment variables
- auxv, auxv_size: carries auxiliary vector, Elf format specifics
- exe_fd: file descriptor number for executable link (/proc/self/exe)
Thus we apply the following requirements to the values
1) Any member except @auxv, @auxv_size, @exe_fd is rather an address
in user space thus it must be laying inside [mmap_min_addr, mmap_max_addr)
interval.
2) While @[start|end]_code and @[start|end]_data may point to an nonexisting
VMAs (say a program maps own new .text and .data segments during execution)
the rest of members should belong to VMA which must exist.
3) Addresses must be ordered, ie @start_ member must not be greater or
equal to appropriate @end_ member.
4) As in regular Elf loading procedure we require that @start_brk and
@brk be greater than @end_data.
5) If RLIMIT_DATA rlimit is set to non-infinity new values should not
exceed existing limit. Same applies to RLIMIT_STACK.
6) Auxiliary vector size must not exceed existing one (which is
predefined as AT_VECTOR_SIZE and depends on architecture).
7) File descriptor passed in @exe_file should be pointing
to executable file (because we use existing prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked
helper it ensures that the file we are going to use as exe link has all
required permission granted).
Now about where these members are involved inside kernel code:
- @start_code and @end_code are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output;
- @start_data and @end_data are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output,
also they are considered if there enough space for brk() syscall
result if RLIMIT_DATA is set;
- @start_brk shown in /proc/$pid/stat output and accounted in brk()
syscall if RLIMIT_DATA is set; also this member is tested to
find a symbolic name of mmap event for perf system (we choose
if event is generated for "heap" area); one more aplication is
selinux -- we test if a process has PROCESS__EXECHEAP permission
if trying to make heap area being executable with mprotect() syscall;
- @brk is a current value for brk() syscall which lays inside heap
area, it's shown in /proc/$pid/stat. When syscall brk() succesfully
provides new memory area to a user space upon brk() completion the
mm::brk is updated to carry new value;
Both @start_brk and @brk are actively used in /proc/$pid/maps
and /proc/$pid/smaps output to find a symbolic name "heap" for
VMA being scanned;
- @start_stack is printed out in /proc/$pid/stat and used to
find a symbolic name "stack" for task and threads in
/proc/$pid/maps and /proc/$pid/smaps output, and as the same
as with @start_brk -- perf system uses it for event naming.
Also kernel treat this member as a start address of where
to map vDSO pages and to check if there is enough space
for shmat() syscall;
- @arg_start, @arg_end, @env_start and @env_end are printed out
in /proc/$pid/stat. Another access to the data these members
represent is to read /proc/$pid/environ or /proc/$pid/cmdline.
Any attempt to read these areas kernel tests with access_process_vm
helper so a user must have enough rights for this action;
- @auxv and @auxv_size may be read from /proc/$pid/auxv. Strictly
speaking kernel doesn't care much about which exactly data is
sitting there because it is solely for userspace;
- @exe_fd is referred from /proc/$pid/exe and when generating
coredump. We uses prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked helper to update
this member, so exe-file link modification remains one-shot
action.
Still note that updating exe-file link now doesn't require sys-resource
capability anymore, after all there is no much profit in preventing setup
own file link (there are a number of ways to execute own code -- ptrace,
ld-preload, so that the only reliable way to find which exactly code is
executed is to inspect running program memory). Still we require the
caller to be at least user-namespace root user.
I believe the old interface should be deprecated and ripped off in a
couple of kernel releases if no one against.
To test if new interface is implemented in the kernel one can pass
PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE opcode and the kernel returns the size of currently
supported struct prctl_mm_map.

The page allocator has gfp flags (like __GFP_WAIT) and alloc flags (like
ALLOC_CPUSET) that have separate semantics.
The function allocflags_to_migratetype() actually takes gfp flags, not
alloc flags, and returns a migratetype. Rename it to
gfpflags_to_migratetype().

The migration scanner skips PageBuddy pages, but does not consider their
order as checking page_order() is generally unsafe without holding the
zone->lock, and acquiring the lock just for the check wouldn't be a good
tradeoff.
Still, this could avoid some iterations over the rest of the buddy page,
and if we are careful, the race window between PageBuddy() check and
page_order() is small, and the worst thing that can happen is that we skip
too much and miss some isolation candidates. This is not that bad, as
compaction can already fail for many other reasons like parallel
allocations, and those have much larger race window.
This patch therefore makes the migration scanner obtain the buddy page
order and use it to skip the whole buddy page, if the order appears to be
in the valid range.
It's important that the page_order() is read only once, so that the value
used in the checks and in the pfn calculation is the same. But in theory
the compiler can replace the local variable by multiple inlines of
page_order(). Therefore, the patch introduces page_order_unsafe() that
uses ACCESS_ONCE to prevent this.
Testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows a 15% reduction in number
of pages scanned by migration scanner. The reduction is >60% with
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations, along with success rates better by few
percent.

Unlike the migration scanner, the free scanner remembers the beginning of
the last scanned pageblock in cc->free_pfn. It might be therefore
rescanning pages uselessly when called several times during single
compaction. This might have been useful when pages were returned to the
buddy allocator after a failed migration, but this is no longer the case.
This patch changes the meaning of cc->free_pfn so that if it points to a
middle of a pageblock, that pageblock is scanned only from cc->free_pfn to
the end. isolate_freepages_block() will record the pfn of the last page
it looked at, which is then used to update cc->free_pfn.
In the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, this has resulted in lowering
the ratio between pages scanned by both scanners, from 2.5 free pages per
migrate page, to 2.25 free pages per migrate page, without affecting
success rates.
With __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations, this appears to result in a worse ratio
(2.1 instead of 1.8), but page migration successes increased by 10%, so
this could mean that more useful work can be done until need_resched()
aborts this kind of compaction.

Compaction scanners try to lock zone locks as late as possible by checking
many page or pageblock properties opportunistically without lock and
skipping them if not unsuitable. For pages that pass the initial checks,
some properties have to be checked again safely under lock. However, if
the lock was already held from a previous iteration in the initial checks,
the rechecks are unnecessary.
This patch therefore skips the rechecks when the lock was already held.
This is now possible to do, since we don't (potentially) drop and
reacquire the lock between the initial checks and the safe rechecks
anymore.

Compaction scanners regularly check for lock contention and need_resched()
through the compact_checklock_irqsave() function. However, if there is no
contention, the lock can be held and IRQ disabled for potentially long
time.
This has been addressed by commit b2eef8c0d091 ("mm: compaction: minimise
the time IRQs are disabled while isolating pages for migration") for the
migration scanner. However, the refactoring done by commit 2a1402aa044b
("mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lru_lock as late as possible") has
changed the conditions so that the lock is dropped only when there's
contention on the lock or need_resched() is true. Also, need_resched() is
checked only when the lock is already held. The comment "give a chance to
irqs before checking need_resched" is therefore misleading, as IRQs remain
disabled when the check is done.
This patch restores the behavior intended by commit b2eef8c0d091 and also
tries to better balance and make more deterministic the time spent by
checking for contention vs the time the scanners might run between the
checks. It also avoids situations where checking has not been done often
enough before. The result should be avoiding both too frequent and too
infrequent contention checking, and especially the potentially
long-running scans with IRQs disabled and no checking of need_resched() or
for fatal signal pending, which can happen when many consecutive pages or
pageblocks fail the preliminary tests and do not reach the later call site
to compact_checklock_irqsave(), as explained below.
Before the patch:
In the migration scanner, compact_checklock_irqsave() was called each
loop, if reached. If not reached, some lower-frequency checking could
still be done if the lock was already held, but this would not result in
aborting contended async compaction until reaching
compact_checklock_irqsave() or end of pageblock. In the free scanner, it
was similar but completely without the periodical checking, so lock can be
potentially held until reaching the end of pageblock.
After the patch, in both scanners:
The periodical check is done as the first thing in the loop on each
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX aligned pfn, using the new compact_unlock_should_abort()
function, which always unlocks the lock (if locked) and aborts async
compaction if scheduling is needed. It also aborts any type of compaction
when a fatal signal is pending.
The compact_checklock_irqsave() function is replaced with a slightly
different compact_trylock_irqsave(). The biggest difference is that the
function is not called at all if the lock is already held. The periodical
need_resched() checking is left solely to compact_unlock_should_abort().
The lock contention avoidance for async compaction is achieved by the
periodical unlock by compact_unlock_should_abort() and by using trylock in
compact_trylock_irqsave() and aborting when trylock fails. Sync
compaction does not use trylock.

Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or
need_resched() is true. David Rientjes has reported that in practice,
most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to
need_resched(). This means that a second direct compaction is never
attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended
to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't.
This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that
distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to
lock contention. This allows propagating the abort through all compaction
functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to
__alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct
reclaim and another compaction attempt.
Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the
reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately
and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist. When
need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction,
only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting.
For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock
contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last
zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary.
This patch fixes the problem in the following way:
- async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal
pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report
COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator.
- aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try
another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back
COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted,
it was aborted due to lock contention.
As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync
compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to
need_resched(). Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched()
will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone
compaction only to abort again. Lock contention will be reported only
when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore
it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim.
In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this
has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows
positive effect on khugepaged. The benchmark's success rates are
unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged. Numbers of compact_stall
and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with
compact_success still a bit improved, which is good. With benchmark
configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP
collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.

The unification of the migrate and free scanner families of function has
highlighted a difference in how the scanners ensure they only isolate
pages of the intended zone. This is important for taking zone lock or lru
lock of the correct zone. Due to nodes overlapping, it is however
possible to encounter a different zone within the range of the zone being
compacted.
The free scanner, since its inception by commit 748446bb6b5a ("mm:
compaction: memory compaction core"), has been checking the zone of the
first valid page in a pageblock, and skipping the whole pageblock if the
zone does not match.
This checking was completely missing from the migration scanner at first,
and later added by commit dc9086004b3d ("mm: compaction: check for
overlapping nodes during isolation for migration") in a reaction to a bug
report. But the zone comparison in migration scanner is done once per a
single scanned page, which is more defensive and thus more costly than a
check per pageblock.
This patch unifies the checking done in both scanners to once per
pageblock, through a new pageblock_pfn_to_page() function, which also
includes pfn_valid() checks. It is more defensive than the current free
scanner checks, as it checks both the first and last page of the
pageblock, but less defensive by the migration scanner per-page checks.
It assumes that node overlapping may result (on some architecture) in a
boundary between two nodes falling into the middle of a pageblock, but
that there cannot be a node0 node1 node0 interleaving within a single
pageblock.
The result is more code being shared and a bit less per-page CPU cost in
the migration scanner.

isolate_migratepages_range() is the main function of the compaction
scanner, called either on a single pageblock by isolate_migratepages()
during regular compaction, or on an arbitrary range by CMA's
__alloc_contig_migrate_range(). It currently perfoms two pageblock-wide
compaction suitability checks, and because of the CMA callpath, it tracks
if it crossed a pageblock boundary in order to repeat those checks.
However, closer inspection shows that those checks are always true for CMA:
- isolation_suitable() is true because CMA sets cc->ignore_skip_hint to true
- migrate_async_suitable() check is skipped because CMA uses sync compaction
We can therefore move the compaction-specific checks to
isolate_migratepages() and simplify isolate_migratepages_range().
Furthermore, we can mimic the freepage scanner family of functions, which
has isolate_freepages_block() function called both by compaction from
isolate_freepages() and by CMA from isolate_freepages_range(), where each
use-case adds own specific glue code. This allows further code
simplification.
Thus, we rename isolate_migratepages_range() to
isolate_migratepages_block() and limit its functionality to a single
pageblock (or its subset). For CMA, a new different
isolate_migratepages_range() is created as a CMA-specific wrapper for the
_block() function. The checks specific to compaction are moved to
isolate_migratepages(). As part of the unification of these two families
of functions, we remove the redundant zone parameter where applicable,
since zone pointer is already passed in cc->zone.
Furthermore, going back to compact_zone() and compact_finished() when
pageblock is found unsuitable (now by isolate_migratepages()) is wasteful
- the checks are meant to skip pageblocks quickly. The patch therefore
also introduces a simple loop into isolate_migratepages() so that it does
not return immediately on failed pageblock checks, but keeps going until
isolate_migratepages_range() gets called once. Similarily to
isolate_freepages(), the function periodically checks if it needs to
reschedule or abort async compaction.

isolate_freepages_block() rechecks if the pageblock is suitable to be a
target for migration after it has taken the zone->lock. However, the
check has been optimized to occur only once per pageblock, and
compact_checklock_irqsave() might be dropping and reacquiring lock, which
means somebody else might have changed the pageblock's migratetype
meanwhile.
Furthermore, nothing prevents the migratetype to change right after
isolate_freepages_block() has finished isolating. Given how imperfect
this is, it's simpler to just rely on the check done in
isolate_freepages() without lock, and not pretend that the recheck under
lock guarantees anything. It is just a heuristic after all.

The compact_stall vmstat counter counts the number of allocations stalled
by direct compaction. It does not count when all attempted zones had
deferred compaction, but it does count when all zones skipped compaction.
The skipping is decided based on very early check of
compaction_suitable(), based on watermarks and memory fragmentation.
Therefore it makes sense not to count skipped compactions as stalls.
Moreover, compact_success or compact_fail is also already not being
counted when compaction was skipped, so this patch changes the
compact_stall counting to match the other two.
Additionally, restructure __alloc_pages_direct_compact() code for better
readability.

When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred
for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async.
Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further
unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period.
Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on
the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But
compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so
the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1)
compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite
good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below:
1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set
deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct
compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32
zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone.
In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to
compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not
defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which
will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32
directly.
2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on
watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal
zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal
was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but
won't.
This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis
instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred()
to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after
compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where
watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is
unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is
called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should
approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was
attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases
but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not
guarantee that a page will be allocated.
Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying
implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made
more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller
actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered
when direct reclaim sets it.
During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone
on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc
mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit
3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking
kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred
compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus
not considered for compaction. On different machine, success rates were
improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

When allocating huge page for collapsing, khugepaged currently holds
mmap_sem for reading on the mm where collapsing occurs. Afterwards the
read lock is dropped before write lock is taken on the same mmap_sem.
Holding mmap_sem during whole huge page allocation is therefore useless,
the vma needs to be rechecked after taking the write lock anyway.
Furthemore, huge page allocation might involve a rather long sync
compaction, and thus block any mmap_sem writers and i.e. affect workloads
that perform frequent m(un)map or mprotect oterations.
This patch simply releases the read lock before allocating a huge page.
It also deletes an outdated comment that assumed vma must be stable, as it
was using alloc_hugepage_vma(). This is no longer true since commit
9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node").

Sequential read from a block device is expected to be equal or faster than
from the file on a filesystem. But it is not correct due to the lack of
effective readpages() in the address space operations for block device.
This implements readpages() operation for block device by using
mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each
page and reduce system CPU time consumption.
Install 1GB of RAM disk storage:
# modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 delay=0

# mkfs.ext4 /dev/$DEV
# mount /dev/$DEV /mnt
# fio --name=t --size=512m --rw=read --filename=/mnt/file

This patchset implements readpages() operation for block device by using
mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each
page and reduce system CPU time consumption.
This patch (of 3):
guard_bh_eod() is used in submit_bh() to allow us to do IO even on the odd
last sectors of a device, even if the block size is some multiple of the
physical sector size. This makes guard_bh_eod() more generic and renames
it guard_bio_eod() so that we can use it without struct buffer_head
argument.
The reason for this change is that using mpage_readpages() for block
device requires to add this guard check in mpage code.

Russell King recently noticed that limiting default CMA region only to low
memory on ARM architecture causes serious memory management issues with
machines having a lot of memory (which is mainly available as high
memory). More information can be found the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/348441/
Those two patches removes this limit letting kernel to put default CMA
region into high memory when this is possible (there is enough high memory
available and architecture specific DMA limit fits).
This should solve strange OOM issues on systems with lots of RAM (i.e.
>1GiB) and large (>256M) CMA area.
This patch (of 2):
Automatically allocated regions should not cross low/high memory boundary,
because such regions cannot be later correctly initialized due to spanning
across two memory zones. This patch adds a check for this case and a
simple code for moving region to low memory if automatically selected
address might not fit completely into high memory.

For architectures without coherent DMA, memory for DMA may need to be
remapped with coherent attributes. Factor out the the remapping code from
arm and put it in a common location to reduce code duplication.
As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct
as ioremap_page_range is intended to bring in io addresses into the cpu
space and not regular kernel managed memory.

ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
_PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE. This saved using an additional PTE bit and
relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting
fault scanner. This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of
implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found.
Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE
bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
enough. There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
but the relics still exist.
This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary
duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types
the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64
equivalent. This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that
identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it
is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE.
The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64
has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are
mapped instead of duplicating code.
