dax/kmem: Pass valid argument to memory_group_register_static

memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument
while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument.

IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As,
memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in
auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone.

which might cause these condition to behave differently,

This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone
...
if (!auto_movable_can_online_movable(NUMA_NO_NODE, group, nr_pages))
goto kernel_zone;

...
kernel_zone:
return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages);

Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages
will be higher (derived from total_len passed in dev_dax_kmem_probe).

...
static struct zone *default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn,
unsigned long nr_pages)
{
struct pglist_data *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
int zid;

for (zid = 0; zid < ZONE_NORMAL; zid++) {
struct zone *zone = &pgdat->node_zones[zid];

if (zone_intersects(zone, start_pfn, nr_pages))
return zone;
}

return &pgdat->node_zones[ZONE_NORMAL];
}

Incorrect zone will be returned here, which in later time might cause bigger
problem.

dax/kmem: Fix leak of memory-hotplug resources

While experimenting with CXL region removal the following corruption of
/proc/iomem appeared.

Before:
f010000000-f04fffffff : CXL Window 0
f010000000-f02fffffff : region4
f010000000-f02fffffff : dax4.0
f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

After (modprobe -r cxl_test):
f010000000-f02fffffff : **redacted binary garbage**
f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

...and testing further the same is visible with persistent memory
assigned to kmem:

Before:
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
480000000-57e1fffff : namespace3.0
580000000-243fffffff : dax3.0
580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

After (ndctl disable-region all):
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
580000000-243fffffff : ***redacted binary garbage***
580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

The corrupted data is from a use-after-free of the "dax4.0" and "dax3.0"
resources, and it also shows that the "System RAM (kmem)" resource is
not being removed. The bug does not appear after "modprobe -r kmem", it
requires the parent of "dax4.0" and "dax3.0" to be removed which
re-parents the leaked "System RAM (kmem)" instances. Those in turn
reference the freed resource as a parent.

First up for the fix is release_mem_region_adjustable() needs to
reliably delete the resource inserted by add_memory_driver_managed().
That is thwarted by a check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM that predates the
dax/kmem driver, from commit:

65c78784135f ("kernel, resource: check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM in release_mem_region_adjustable")

That appears to be working around the behavior of HMM's
"MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC" facility that has since been deleted. With that
check removed the "System RAM (kmem)" resource gets removed, but
corruption still occurs occasionally because the "dax" resource is not
reliably removed.

The dax range information is freed before the device is unregistered, so
the driver can not reliably recall (another use after free) what it is
meant to release. Lastly if that use after free got lucky, the driver
was covering up the leak of "System RAM (kmem)" due to its use of
release_resource() which detaches, but does not free, child resources.
The switch to remove_resource() forces remove_memory() to be responsible
for the deletion of the resource added by add_memory_driver_managed().

"Wh

dax: Assign RAM regions to memory-hotplug by default

The default mode for device-dax instances is backwards for RAM-regions
as evidenced by the fact that it tends to catch end users by surprise.
"Where is my memory?". Recall that platforms are increasingly shipping
with performance-differentiated memory pools beyond typical DRAM and
NUMA effects. This includes HBM (high-bandwidth-memory) and CXL (dynamic
interleave, varied media types, and future fabric attached
possibilities).

For this reason the EFI_MEMORY_SP (EFI Special Purpose Memory => Linux
'Soft Reserved') attribute is expected to be applied to all memory-pools
that are not the general purpose pool. This designation gives an
Operating System a chance to defer usage of a memory pool until later in
the boot process where its performance properties can be interrogated
and administrator policy can be applied.

'Soft Reserved' memory can be anything from too limited and precious to
be part of the general purpose pool (HBM), too slow to host hot kernel
data structures (some PMEM media), or anything in between. However, in
the absence of an explicit policy, the memory should at least be made
usable by default. The current device-dax default hides all
non-general-purpose memory behind a device interface.

The expectation is that the distribution of users that want the memory
online by default vs device-dedicated-access by default follows the
Pareto principle. A small number of enlightened users may want to do
userspace memory management through a device, but general users just
want the kernel to make the memory available with an option to get more
advanced later.

Arrange for all device-dax instances not backed by PMEM to default to
attaching to the dax_kmem driver. From there the baseline memory hotplug
policy (CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE / memhp_default_state=)
gates whether the memory comes online or stays offline. Where, if it
stays offline, it can be reliably converted back to device-mode where it
can be partitioned, or fronted by a userspace allocator.

So, if someone wants device-dax instances for their 'Soft Reserved'
memory:

1/ Build a kernel with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=n or boot
with memhp_default_state=offline, or roll the dice and hope that the
kernel has not pinned a page in that memory before step 2.

2/ Write a udev rule to convert the target dax device(s) from
'system-ram' mode to 'devdax' mode:

daxctl reconfigure-device $dax -m devdax -f

mm/demotion/dax/kmem: set node's abstract distance to MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE

By default, all nodes are assigned to the default memory tier which is the

Set dax kmem device node's tier to slower memory tier by assigning
abstract distance to MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE. Low-level drivers
like papr_scm or ACPI NFIT can initialize memory device type to a more
accurate value based on device tree details or HMAT. If the kernel
doesn't find the memory type initialized, a default slower memory type is
assigned by the kmem driver.

variable array member at the end' operation for a couple years now, use
it.

device-dax/kmem: fix resource release

The conversion to request_mem_region() is broken because it assumes that
the range is marked busy prior to release. However, due to the way that
the kmem driver manipulates the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag (clears it to let
{add,remove}_memory() handle busy) it requires a manual release_resource()
to perform cleanup.

Given that the actual 'struct resource *' needs to be recalled, not just
the range, add that tracking to the kmem driver-data.

device-dax: add dis-contiguous resource support

Break the requirement that device-dax instances are physically contiguous.
With this constraint removed it allows fragmented available capacity to
be fully allocated.

This capability is useful to mitigate the "noisy neighbor" problem with
memory-side-cache management for virtual machines, or any other scenario
where a platform address boundary also designates a performance boundary.
For example a direct mapped memory side cache might rotate cache colors at
1GB boundaries. With dis-contiguous allocations a device-dax instance
could be configured to contain only 1 cache color.

It also satisfies Joao's use case (see link) for partitioning memory for
exclusive guest access. It allows for a future potential mode where the
host kernel need not allocate 'struct page' capacity up-front.

device-dax/kmem: replace release_resource() with release_mem_region()

Towards removing the mode specific @dax_kmem_res attribute from the
generic 'struct dev_dax', and preparing for multi-range support, change
the kmem driver to use the idiomatic release_mem_region() to pair with the
initial request_mem_region(). This also eliminates the need to open code
the release of the resource allocated by request_mem_region().

As there are no more dax_kmem_res users, delete this struct member.

Towards removing the mode specific @dax_kmem_res attribute from the
generic 'struct dev_dax', and preparing for multi-range support, move
resource name tracking to driver data. The memory for the resource name
needs to have its own lifetime separate from the device bind lifetime for
cases where the driver is unbound, but the kmem range could not be
unplugged from the page allocator.

device-dax: add memory via add_memory_driver_managed()

Currently, when adding memory, we create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/
as "System RAM". This will lead to kexec-tools to add that memory to the
fixed-up initial memmap for a kexec kernel (loaded via kexec_load()). The
memory will be considered initial System RAM by the kexec'd kernel and can
no longer be reconfigured. This is not what happens during a real reboot.

Let's add our memory via add_memory_driver_managed() now, so we won't
create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ and indicate the memory as "System
RAM (kmem)" in /proc/iomem. This allows everybody (especially
kexec-tools) to identify that this memory is special and has to be treated
differently than ordinary (hotplugged) System RAM.

Before configuring the namespace:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
...

kexec-tools already seem to basically ignore any System RAM that's not on
top level when searching for areas to place kexec images - but also for
determining crash areas to dump via kdump. Changing the resource name
won't have an impact.

Handle unloading of the driver after memory hotremove failed properly, by
duplicating the string if necessary.

device-dax: don't leak kernel memory to user space after unloading kmem

Assume we have kmem configured and loaded:

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
...
140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Mem

device-dax: don't leak kernel memory to user space after unloading kmem

Assume we have kmem configured and loaded:

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
...
140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory$
140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
150000000-33fffffff : dax0.0
150000000-33fffffff : System RAM

Assume we try to unload kmem. This force-unloading will work, even if
memory cannot get removed from the system.

[root@localhost ~]# rmmod kmem
[ 86.380228] removing memory fails, because memory [0x0000000150000000-0x0000000157ffffff] is onlined
...
[ 86.431225] kmem dax0.0: DAX region [mem 0x150000000-0x33fffffff] cannot be hotremoved until the next reboot

Now, we can reconfigure the namespace:

[root@localhost ~]# ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=devdax
[ 131.409351] nd_pmem namespace0.0: could not reserve region [mem 0x140000000-0x33fffffff]dax
[ 131.410147] nd_pmem: probe of namespace0.0 failed with error -16namespace0.0 --mode=devdax
...

This fails as expected due to the busy memory resource, and the memory
cannot be used. However, the dax0.0 device is removed, and along its
name.

The name of the memory resource now points at freed memory (name of the
device):

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/iomem
...
140000000-33fffffff : Persistent Memory
140000000-1481fffff : namespace0.0
150000000-33fffffff : �_�^7_��/_��wR��WQ���^��� ...
150000000-33fffffff : System RAM

We have to make sure to duplicate the string. While at it, remove the
superfluous setting of the name and fixup a stale comment.

device-dax: "Hotremove" persistent memory that is used like normal RAM

It is now allowed to use persistent memory like a regular RAM, but
currently there is no way to remove this memory until machine is
rebooted.

This work expands the functionality to also allows hotremoving
previously hotplugged persistent memory, and recover the device for use
for other purposes.

To hotremove persistent memory, the management software must first
offline all memory blocks of dax region, and than unbind it from
device-dax/kmem driver. So, operations should look like this:

echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryN/state
...
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/unbind

Note: if unbind is done without offlining memory beforehand, it won't be
possible to do dax0.0 hotremove, and dax's memory is going to be part of
System RAM until reboot.

device-dax: fix memory and resource leak if hotplug fails

Patch series ""Hotremove" persistent memory", v6.

Recently, adding a persistent memory to be used like a regular RAM was
added to Linux. This work extends this functionality to also allow hot
removing persistent memory.

We (Microsoft) have an important use case for this functionality.

The requirement is for physical machines with small amount of RAM (~8G)
to be able to reboot in a very short period of time (<1s). Yet, there
is a userland state that is expensive to recreate (~2G).

The solution is to boot machines with 2G preserved for persistent
memory.

Copy the state, and hotadd the persistent memory so machine still has
all 8G available for runtime. Before reboot, offline and hotremove
device-dax 2G, copy the memory that is needed to be preserved to pmem0
device, and reboot.

The series of operations look like this:

1. After boot restore /dev/pmem0 to ramdisk to be consumed by apps.
and free ramdisk.
2. Convert raw pmem0 to devdax
ndctl create-namespace --mode devdax --map mem -e namespace0.0 -f
3. Hotadd to System RAM
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id
echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memoryXXX/state
4. Before reboot hotremove device-dax memory from System RAM
echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memoryXXX/state
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/unbind
5. Create raw pmem0 device
ndctl create-namespace --mode raw -e namespace0.0 -f
6. Copy the state that was stored by apps to ramdisk to pmem device
7. Do kexec reboot or reboot through firmware if firmware does not
zero memory in pmem0 region (These machines have only regular
volatile memory). So to have pmem0 device either memmap kernel
parameter is used, or devices nodes in dtb are specified.

This patch (of 3):

When add_memory() fails, the resource and the memory should be freed.

device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM

This is intended for use with NVDIMMs that are physically persistent
(physically like flash) so that they can be used as a cost-effective
RAM replacement. Intel Optane DC persistent memory is one
implementation of this kind of NVDIMM.

Currently, a persistent memory region is "owned" by a device driver,
either the "Direct DAX" or "Filesystem DAX" drivers. These drivers
allow applications to explicitly use persistent memory, generally
by being modified to use special, new libraries. (DIMM-based
persistent memory hardware/software is described in great detail
here: Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt).

However, this limits persistent memory use to applications which
*have* been modified. To make it more broadly usable, this driver
"hotplugs" memory into the kernel, to be managed and used just like
normal RAM would be.

To make this work, management software must remove the device from
being controlled by the "Device DAX" infrastructure:

echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind

and then tell the new driver that it can bind to the device:

echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id

After this, there will be a number of new memory sections visible
in sysfs that can be onlined, or that may get onlined by existing
udev-initiated memory hotplug rules.

This rebinding procedure is currently a one-way trip. Once memory
is bound to "kmem", it's there permanently and can not be
unbound and assigned back to device_dax.

The kmem driver will never bind to a dax device unless the device
is *explicitly* bound to the driver. There are two reasons for
this: One, since it is a one-way trip, it can not be undone if
bound incorrectly. Two, the kmem driver destroys data on the
device. Think of if you had good data on a pmem device. It
would be catastrophic if you compile-in "kmem", but leave out
the "device_dax" driver. kmem would take over the device and
write volatile data all over your good data.

This inherits any existing NUMA information for the newly-added
memory from the persistent memory device that came from the
firmware. On Intel platforms, the firmware has guarantees that
require each socket's persistent memory to be in a separate
memory-only NUMA node. That means that this patch is not expected
to create NUMA nodes, but will simply hotplug memory into existing
nodes.

Because NUMA nodes are created, the existing NUMA APIs and tools
are sufficient to create policies for applications or memory areas
to have affinity for or an aversion to using this memory.

There is currently some metadata at the beginning of pmem regions.
The section-size memory hotplug restrictions, plus this small
reserved area can cause the "loss" of a section or two of capacity.
This should be fixable in follow-on patches. But, as a first step,
losing 256MB of memory (worst case) out of hundreds of gigabytes
is a good tradeoff vs. the required code to fix this up precisely.
This calculation is also the reason we export
memory_block_size_bytes().

device-dax/kmem: fix resource release

The conversion to request_mem_region() is broken because it assumes that
the range is marked busy prior to release. However, due to the way that
the kmem driver manipulates the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag (clears it to let
{add,remove}_memory() handle busy) it requires a manual release_resource()
to perform cleanup.

Given that the actual 'struct resource *' needs to be recalled, not just
the range, add that tracking to the kmem driver-data.

device-dax: add dis-contiguous resource support

Break the requirement that device-dax instances are physically contiguous.
With this constraint removed it allows fragmented available capacity to
be fully allocated.

This capability is useful to mitigate the "noisy neighbor" problem with
memory-side-cache management for virtual machines, or any other scenario
where a platform address boundary also designates a performance boundary.
For example a direct mapped memory side cache might rotate cache colors at
1GB boundaries. With dis-contiguous allocations a device-dax instance
could be configured to contain only 1 cache color.

It also satisfies Joao's use case (see link) for partitioning memory for
exclusive guest access. It allows for a future potential mode where the
host kernel need not allocate 'struct page' capacity up-front.
