lockdep reports possible circular locking dependency when udev is used
for memory onlining:

 systemd-udevd/3996 is trying to acquire lock:
  ((memory_chain).rwsem){++++.+}, at: [&lt;ffffffff810d137e&gt;] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x4e/0xc0

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&amp;dm_device.ha_region_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [&lt;ffffffffa015382e&gt;] hv_memory_notifier+0x5e/0xc0 [hv_balloon]
 ...

which is probably a false positive because we take and release
ha_region_mutex from memory notifier chain depending on the arg. No real
deadlocks were reported so far (though I'm not really sure about
preemptible kernels...) but we don't really need to hold the mutex
for so long. We use it to protect ha_region_list (and its members) and the
num_pages_onlined counter. None of these operations require us to sleep
and nothing is slow, switch to using spinlock with interrupts disabled.

While on it, replace list_for_each -&gt; list_for_each_entry as we actually
need entries in all these cases, drop meaningless list_empty() checks.

I'm observing the following hot add requests from the WS2012 host:

hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x108200 count = 330752
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x158e00 count = 193536
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x188400 count = 239616

As the host doesn't specify hot add regions we're trying to create
128Mb-aligned region covering the first request, we create the 0x108000 -
0x160000 region and we add 0x108000 - 0x158e00 memory. The second request
passes the pfn_covered() check, we enlarge the region to 0x108000 -
0x190000 and add 0x158e00 - 0x188200 memory. The problem emerges with the
third request as it starts at 0x188400 so there is a 0x200 gap which is
not covered. As the end of our region is 0x190000 now it again passes the
pfn_covered() check were we just adjust the covered_end_pfn and make it
0x188400 instead of 0x188200 which means that we'll try to online
0x188200-0x188400 pages but these pages were never assigned to us and we
crash.

We can't react to such requests by creating new hot add regions as it may
happen that the whole suggested range falls into the previously identified
128Mb-aligned area so we'll end up adding nothing or create intersecting
regions and our current logic doesn't allow that. Instead, create a list of
such 'gaps' and check for them in the page online callback.

Windows 2012 (non-R2) does not specify hot add region in hot add requests
and the logic in hot_add_req() is trying to find a 128Mb-aligned region
covering the request. It may also happen that host's requests are not 128Mb
aligned and the created ha_region will start before the first specified
PFN. We can't online these non-present pages but we don't remember the real
start of the region.

This is a regression introduced by the commit 5abbbb75d733 ("Drivers: hv:
hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not natural"). While
the idea of keeping the 'moving window' was wrong (as there is no guarantee
that hot add requests come ordered) we should still keep track of
covered_start_pfn. This is not a revert, the logic is different.

We set host_specified_ha_region = true on certain request but this is a
global state which stays 'true' forever. We need to reset it when we
receive a request where ha_region is not specified. I did not see any
real issues, the bug was found by code inspection.

When we iterate through all HA regions in handle_pg_range() we have an
assumption that all these regions are sorted in the list and the
'start_pfn &gt;= has-&gt;end_pfn' check is enough to find the proper region.
Unfortunately it's not the case with WS2016 where host can hot-add regions
in a different order. We end up modifying the wrong HA region and crashing
later on pages online. Modify the check to make sure we found the region
we were searching for while iterating. Fix the same check in pfn_covered()
as well.

Memory notifiers are being executed in a sequential order and when one of
them fails returning something different from NOTIFY_OK the remainder of
the notification chain is not being executed. When a memory block is being
onlined in online_pages() we do memory_notify(MEM_GOING_ONLINE, ) and if
one of the notifiers in the chain fails we end up doing
memory_notify(MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE, ) so it is possible for a notifier to see
MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE without seeing the corresponding MEM_GOING_ONLINE event.
E.g. when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the kasan_mem_notifier() is being used
to prevent memory hotplug, it returns NOTIFY_BAD for all MEM_GOING_ONLINE
events. As kasan_mem_notifier() comes before the hv_memory_notifier() in
the notification chain we don't see the MEM_GOING_ONLINE event and we do
not take the ha_region_mutex. We, however, see the MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE event
and unconditionally try to release the lock, the following is observed:

[  110.850927] =====================================
[  110.850927] [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
[  110.850927] 4.1.0-rc3_bugxxxxxxx_test_xxxx #595 Not tainted
[  110.850927] -------------------------------------
[  110.850927] systemd-udevd/920 is trying to release lock
(&amp;dm_device.ha_region_mutex) at:

[  110.850927] but there are no more locks to release!

At the same time we can have the ha_region_mutex taken when we get the
MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE event in case one of the memory notifiers after the
hv_memory_notifier() in the notification chain failed so we need to add
the mutex_is_locked() check. In case of MEM_ONLINE we are always supposed
to have the mutex locked.

balloon_wrk.num_pages is __u32 and it comes from host in struct dm_balloon
where it is also __u32. We, however, use 'int' in balloon_up() and in case
we happen to receive num_pages&gt;INT_MAX request we'll end up allocating zero
pages as 'num_pages &lt; alloc_unit' check in alloc_balloon_pages() will pass.
Change num_pages type to unsigned int.

In real life ballooning request come with num_pages in [512, 32768] range so
this is more a future-proof/cleanup.
