Commit 3718c02dbd4c ("acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT")
added a default_dram_perf_ref_source variable that was initialized but
never used.  This causes kmemleak to report the following memory leak:

commit 823430c8e9d9 ("memory tier: consolidate the initialization of
memory tiers") introduces a locking change that use guard(mutex) to
instead of mutex_lock/unlock() for memory_tier_lock.  It unexpectedly
expanded the locked region to include the hotplug_memory_notifier(), as a
result, it triggers an locking dependency detected of ABBA deadlock. 
Exclude hotplug_memory_notifier() from the locked region to fixing it.

The deadlock scenario is that when a memory online event occurs, the
execution of memory notifier will access the read lock of the
memory_chain.rwsem, then the reigistration of the memory notifier in
memory_tier_init() acquires the write lock of the memory_chain.rwsem while
holding memory_tier_lock.  Then the memory online event continues to
invoke the memory hotplug callback registered by memory_tier_init(). 
Since this callback tries to acquire the memory_tier_lock, a deadlock
occurs.

In fact, this deadlock can't happen because memory_tier_init() always
executes before memory online events happen due to the subsys_initcall()
has an higher priority than module_init().

<pre>
commit 823430c8e9d9 ("memory tier: consolidate the initialization of
memory tiers") introduces a locking change that use guard(mutex) to
instead of mutex_lock/unlock() for memory_tier_lock.  It unexpectedly
expanded the locked region to include the hotplug_memory_notifier(), as a
result, it triggers an locking dependency detected of ABBA deadlock. 
Exclude hotplug_memory_notifier() from the locked region to fixing it.

The deadlock scenario is that when a memory online event occurs, the
execution of memory notifier will access the read lock of the
memory_chain.rwsem, then the reigistration of the memory notifier in
memory_tier_init() acquires the write lock of the memory_chain.rwsem while
holding memory_tier_lock.  Then the memory online event continues to
invoke the memory hotplug callback registered by memory_tier_init(). 
Since this callback tries to acquire the memory_tier_lock, a deadlock
occurs.

In fact, this deadlock can't happen because memory_tier_init() always
executes before memory online events happen due to the subsys_initcall()
has an higher priority than module_init().

If memory tiering mode is on and a folio is not in the top tier memory,
folio's cpupid field is repurposed to store page access time.  Instead of
an open coded check, use a function to encapsulate the check.

<id>823430c8e9d98c5865af518c782d0493b76aa511</id>
<content type='text'>
The current memory tier initialization process is distributed across two
different functions, memory_tier_init() and memory_tier_late_init().  This
design is hard to maintain.  Thus, this patch is proposed to reduce the
possible code paths by consolidating different initialization patches into
one.

The earlier discussion with Jonathan and Ying is listed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240405150244.00004b49@Huawei.com/

If we want to put these two initializations together, they must be placed
together in the later function.  Because only at that time, the HMAT
information will be ready, adist between nodes can be calculated, and
memory tiering can be established based on the adist.  So we position the
initialization at memory_tier_init() to the memory_tier_late_init() call. 
Moreover, it's natural to keep memory_tier initialization in drivers at
device_initcall() level.

If we simply move the set_node_memory_tier() from memory_tier_init() to
late_initcall(), it will result in HMAT not registering the
mt_adistance_algorithm callback function, because set_node_memory_tier()
is not performed during the memory tiering initialization phase, leading
to a lack of correct default_dram information.

Therefore, we introduced a nodemask to pass the information of the default
DRAM nodes.  The reason for not choosing to reuse default_dram_type-&gt;nodes
is that it is not clean enough.  So in the end, we use a __initdata
variable, which is a variable that is released once initialization is
complete, including both CPU and memory nodes for HMAT to iterate through.

<title>memory tier: create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info</title>
<updated>2024-05-06T00:53:26+00:00</updated>

<id>cf93be18fa1bb837fa1e3015a9919953fff6ef22</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as CXL1.1
type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
(E820_TYPE_RAM).  However, these emulated devices have different
characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to distinguish
them.  Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process to
introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes.  This delay ensures
that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred until HMAT
information is obtained during the boot process.  Finally, demotion tables
are recalculated at the end.

* late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
  Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
  `memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
  online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers.  They should be
  excluded in the late init.

* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
  There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT
  information.  If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the
  default DRAM tier.

* Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist
  calculation In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist
  nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`.  However,
  `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
  leading to a potential deadlock.  Therefore, we propose introducing a
  standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf_*`. 
  This approach not only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large
  lock simultaneously.

* Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
  default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations.  To cover
  hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
  `mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
  handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information
  is available.

* Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
  initialized by device drivers.  Because late initialized memory and
  default DRAM memory need to be managed, a default memory type is created
  for storing all memory types that are not initialized by device drivers
  and as a fallback.

The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as CXL1.1
type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
(E820_TYPE_RAM).  However, these emulated devices have different
characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to distinguish
them.  Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process to
introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes.  This delay ensures
that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred until HMAT
information is obtained during the boot process.  Finally, demotion tables
are recalculated at the end.

* late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
  Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
  `memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
  online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers.  They should be
  excluded in the late init.

* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
  There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT
  information.  If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the
  default DRAM tier.

* Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist
  calculation In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist
  nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`.  However,
  `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
  leading to a potential deadlock.  Therefore, we propose introducing a
  standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf_*`. 
  This approach not only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large
  lock simultaneously.

* Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
  default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations.  To cover
  hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
  `mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
  handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information
  is available.

* Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
  initialized by device drivers.  Because late initialized memory and
  default DRAM memory need to be managed, a default memory type is created
  for storing all memory types that are not initialized by device drivers
  and as a fallback.

<title>memory tier: dax/kmem: introduce an abstract layer for finding, allocating, and putting memory types</title>

Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11.

When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal
memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal
DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation.  The
current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the
same DRAM tier.  This results in normal memory devices with different
attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier,
leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of
memory. 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/PH0PR08MB7955E9F08CCB64F23963B5C3A860A@PH0PR08MB7955.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/T/

This patchset automatically resolves the issues.  It delays the
initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain
HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time,
eliminating the need for user intervention.  If no HMAT is specified, it
falls back to using `default_dram_type`.

Example usecase:
We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory
device backed by host CXL memory.  We inject CXL memory performance
attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with
performance attributes in HMAT.  With this change, we enable the guest
kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes.


This patch (of 2):

Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting
memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing
the scalability and conciseness of the code.

<title>mm/demotion: print demotion targets</title>

Currently, when a demotion occurs, it will prioritize selecting a node
from the preferred targets as the destination node for the demotion.  If
the preferred node does not meet the requirements, it will try from all
the lower memory tier nodes until it finds a suitable demotion destination
node or ultimately fails.

However, the demotion target information isn't exposed to the users,
especially the preferred target information, which relies on more factors.
This makes it hard for users to understand the exact demotion behavior.

Rather than having a new sysfs interface to expose this information,
printing directly to kernel messages, just like the current page
allocation fallback order does.

A dmesg example with this patch is as follows:
[    0.704860] Demotion targets for Node 0: null
[    0.705456] Demotion targets for Node 1: null
// node 2 is onlined
[   32.259775] Demotion targets for Node 0: perferred: 2, fallback: 2
[   32.261290] Demotion targets for Node 1: perferred: 2, fallback: 2
[   32.262726] Demotion targets for Node 2: null
// node 3 is onlined

[   52.680493] Demotion targets for Node 2: perferred: 4, fallback: 3-4
[   52.682154] Demotion targets for Node 3: null
[   52.683405] Demotion targets for Node 4: null
// node 5 is onlined
[   62.931902] Demotion targets for Node 0: perferred: 2, fallback: 2-5
[   62.938266] Demotion targets for Node 1: perferred: 5, fallback: 2-5
[   62.943515] Demotion targets for Node 2: perferred: 4, fallback: 3-4

[   62.949908] Demotion targets for Node 4: null
[   62.952137] Demotion targets for Node 5: perferred: 3, fallback: 3-4

Regarding this requirement, we have previously discussed [1].  The initial
proposal involved introducing a new sysfs interface.  However, due to
concerns about potential changes and compatibility issues with the
interface in the future, a consensus was not reached with the community. 
Therefore, this time, we are directly printing out the information.
