When a driver domain (e.g. dom0) is running out of maptrack entries it
can't map any more foreign domain pages. Instead of silently stalling
the affected domUs issue a rate limited warning in this case in order
to make it easier to detect that situation.

<title>xen/gntdev: fix up blockable calls to mn_invl_range_start</title>

Patch series "mmu_notifiers follow ups".

Tetsuo has noticed some fallouts from 93065ac753e4 ("mm, oom: distinguish
blockable mode for mmu notifiers").  One of them has been fixed and picked
up by AMD/DRM maintainer [1].  XEN issue is fixed by patch 1.  I have also
clarified expectations about blockable semantic of invalidate_range_end.
Finally the last patch removes MMU_INVALIDATE_DOES_NOT_BLOCK which is no
longer used nor needed.

[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180824135257.GU29735@dhcp22.suse.cz

This patch (of 3):

93065ac753e4 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers") has
introduced blockable parameter to all mmu_notifiers and the notifier has
to back off when called in !blockable case and it could block down the
road.

The above commit implemented that for mn_invl_range_start but both
in_range checks are done unconditionally regardless of the blockable mode
and as such they would fail all the time for regular calls.  Fix this by
checking blockable parameter as well.

Once we are there we can remove the stale TODO.  The lock has to be
sleepable because we wait for completion down in gnttab_unmap_refs_sync.

In case of cpu#0, cpu_online is apparently always true.

Fix this crash by checking if the cpu can be hotplugged, which is false
for a cpu that was just removed.

Also check if the cpu was actually offlined by device_remove, otherwise
leave the cpu_present state as it is.

Rearrange to code to do all work with device_hotplug_lock held.

<title>xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pages</title>

<id>197ecb3802c04499d8ff4f8cb28f6efa008067db</id>
<content type='text'>
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.

Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).
Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also
enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime
switch.

<title>mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers</title>

<content type='text'>
There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.

Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep.  That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.

We can do much better though.  Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held.  Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range.  Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.

This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false.  This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.

I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that.  The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.

The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode.  A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.

The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom.  This can be done e.g.  after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small.  Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.
