Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual
addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense
when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill
further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all
cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full
available range.

Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on
code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I
know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

<title>PM / Hibernate / Memory hotplug: Always use for_each_populated_zone()</title>

<content type='text'>
Use for_each_populated_zone() instead of for_each_zone() in hibernation
code. This fixes a bug on s390, where we allow both config options
HIBERNATION and MEMORY_HOTPLUG, so that we also have a ZONE_MOVABLE
here. We only allow hibernation if no memory hotplug operation was
performed, so in fact both features can only be used exclusively, but
this way we don't need 2 differently configured (distribution) kernels.

If we have an unpopulated ZONE_MOVABLE, we allow hibernation but run
into a BUG_ON() in memory_bm_test/set/clear_bit() because hibernation
code iterates through all zones, not only the populated zones, in
several places. For example, swsusp_free() does for_each_zone() and
then checks for pfn_valid(), which is true even if the zone is not
populated, resulting in a BUG_ON() later because the pfn cannot be
found in the memory bitmap.

Replacing all occurences of for_each_zone() in hibernation code with
for_each_populated_zone() would fix this issue.

We want to avoid attempting to free too much memory too hard during
hibernation, so estimate the minimum size of the image to use as the
lower limit for preallocating memory.

The approach here is based on the (experimental) observation that we
can't free more page frames than the sum of:

* global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE)
* global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_ANON)
* global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_ANON)
* global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_FILE)
* global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_FILE)

minus

* global_page_state(NR_FILE_MAPPED)

Namely, if this number is subtracted from the number of saveable
pages in the system, we get a good estimate of the minimum reasonable
size of a hibernation image.

Since the hibernation code is now going to use allocations of memory
to make enough room for the image, it can also use the page frames
allocated at this stage as image page frames.  The low-level
hibernation code needs to be rearranged for this purpose, but it
allows us to avoid freeing a great number of pages and allocating
these same pages once again later, so it generally is worth doing.

Rework swsusp_shrink_memory() so that it calls shrink_all_memory()
just once to make some room for the image and then allocates memory
to apply more pressure to the memory management subsystem, if
necessary.

Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to drop shrink_all_memory()
entirely just yet, because that would lead to huge performance
regressions in some test cases.

A future patch is going to modify the memory shrinking code so that
it will make memory allocations to free memory instead of using an
artificial memory shrinking mechanism for that.  For this purpose it
is convenient to move swsusp_shrink_memory() from
kernel/power/swsusp.c to kernel/power/snapshot.c, because the new
memory-shrinking code is going to use things that are local to
kernel/power/snapshot.c .

Impact: cleanup

In almost cases, for_each_zone() is used with populated_zone().  It's
because almost function doesn't need memoryless node information.
Therefore, for_each_populated_zone() can help to make code simplify.

This patch has no functional change.

It has been requested to make hibernation work with memory
hotplugging enabled and for this purpose the hibernation code has to
be reworked to take the possible overlapping of zones into account.
Thus, rework the hibernation memory bitmaps code to prevent
duplication of PFNs from occuring and add checks to make sure that
one page frame will not be marked as saveable many times.

Additionally, use list.h lists instead of open-coded lists to
implement the memory bitmaps.
