<title>mm/hotplug: fix offline undo_isolate_page_range()</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded
memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which
calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block.
memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to
be MOVABLE.

However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range()
after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing.  Due to commit
2ce13640b3f4 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed
__first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range()
here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while
doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as
offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within
the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections().

Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it
reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE.  Those pages
will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining.  The only thing
left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter
which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above
commit introduced.

Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages
on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of
pageblocks there.  Fix an incorrect comment along the way.

As all the memblock allocation functions return NULL in case of error
rather than panic(), the duplicates with _nopanic suffix can be removed.

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.  The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.

The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

  ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);
  + if (!ptr)

just check it specifically where compilers will convert -1 to unsigned

<title>mm, sparse: pass nid instead of pgdat to sparse_add_one_section()</title>

Since the information needed in sparse_add_one_section() is node id to
allocate proper memory, it is not necessary to pass its pgdat.

This patch changes the prototype of sparse_add_one_section() to pass node
id directly.  This is intended to reduce misleading that
sparse_add_one_section() would touch pgdat.

<title>mm, sparse: drop pgdat_resize_lock in sparse_add/remove_one_section()</title>

<id>83af658898cb292a32d8b6cd9b51266d7cfc4b6a</id>
<content type='text'>
pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect pgdat's memory region information
like: node_start_pfn, node_present_pages, etc.  While in function
sparse_add/remove_one_section(), pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect
initialization/release of one mem_section.  This looks not proper.

These code paths are currently protected by mem_hotplug_lock currently but
should there ever be any reason for locking at the sparse layer a
dedicated lock should be introduced.

Following is the current call trace of sparse_add/remove_one_section()

    mem_hotplug_begin()
    arch_add_memory()
       add_pages()
           __add_pages()
               __add_section()
                   sparse_add_one_section()
    mem_hotplug_done()

    mem_hotplug_begin()
    arch_remove_memory()
        __remove_pages()
            __remove_section()
                sparse_remove_one_section()
    mem_hotplug_done()

The comment above the pgdat_resize_lock also mentions "Holding this will
also guarantee that any pfn_valid() stays that way.", which is true with
the current implementation and false after this patch.  But current
implementation doesn't meet this comment.  There isn't any pfn walkers to
take the lock so this looks like a relict from the past.  This patch also
removes this comment.

Presently the arches arm64, arm and sh have a function which loops
through each memblock and calls memory present.  riscv will require a
similar function.

Introduce a common memblocks_present() function that can be used by all
the arches.  Subsequent patches will cleanup the arches that make use of
this.

<title>memblock: stop using implicit alignment to SMP_CACHE_BYTES</title>

<id>7e1c4e27928e5f87b9b1eaf06dc31773b2f1e7f1</id>
<content type='text'>
When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.

Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise.  Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.

Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.

For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g.  like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.

The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below:
