Subject: [PATCH] mm/sparse-vmemmap: fix DAX vmemmap accounting with
optimization
When vmemmap optimization is enabled for DAX, the nr_memmap_pages counter
in /proc/vmstat is incorrect. The current code always accounts for the
full, non-optimized vmemmap size, but vmemmap optimization reduces the
actual number of vmemmap pages by reusing tail pages. This causes the
system to overcount vmemmap usage, leading to inaccurate page statistics
in /proc/vmstat.
Fix this by introducing section_nr_vmemmap_pages(), which returns the
exact vmemmap page count for a given pfn range based on whether
optimization is in effect.

[ Upstream commit c373f7f98e6ad591c85d40548cf8b6443be69311 ]
Patch series "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and initialization",
v8.
The series fixes several bugs in vmemmap optimization, mainly around
incorrect page accounting and memmap initialization in DAX and memory
hotplug paths. It also fixes pageblock migratetype initialization and
struct page initialization for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages.
Patches 1-4 fix vmemmap accounting issues. Patch 1 fixes an accounting
underflow in the section activation failure path by moving vmemmap page
accounting into the lower-level allocation and freeing helpers. Patch 2
fixes incorrect altmap passing in the memory hotplug error path. Patch 3
passes pgmap through memory deactivation paths so the teardown side can
determine whether vmemmap optimization was in effect. Patch 4 uses that
information to account the optimized DAX vmemmap size correctly.
Patches 5-6 fix initialization issues in mm/mm_init. One makes sure all
pageblocks in ZONE_DEVICE compound pages get their migratetype
initialized. The other fixes a case where DAX memory hotplug reuses an
unoptimized early-section memmap while compound_nr_pages() still assumes
vmemmap optimization, leaving tail struct pages uninitialized.
This patch (of 6):
In section_activate(), if populate_section_memmap() fails, the error
handling path calls section_deactivate() to roll back the state. This
causes a vmemmap accounting imbalance.
Since commit c3576889d87b ("mm: fix accounting of memmap pages"), memmap
pages are accounted for only after populate_section_memmap() succeeds.
However, the failure path unconditionally calls section_deactivate(),
which decreases the vmemmap count. Consequently, a failure in
populate_section_memmap() leads to an accounting underflow, incorrectly
reducing the system's tracked vmemmap usage.
Fix this more thoroughly by moving all accounting calls into the lower
level functions that actually perform the vmemmap allocation and freeing:
- populate_section_memmap() accounts for newly allocated vmemmap pages -
depopulate_section_memmap() unaccounts when vmemmap is freed
This ensures proper accounting in all code paths, including error handling
and early section cases.

[ Upstream commit 2fac4afa0e2e68841334c78c1821e49f74fbc66a ]
In create_altmaps_and_memory_blocks(), when arch_add_memory() succeeds
with memmap_on_memory enabled, the vmemmap pages are allocated from
params.altmap. If create_memory_block_devices() subsequently fails, the
error path calls arch_remove_memory() with a NULL altmap instead of
params.altmap.
This is a bug that could lead to memory corruption. Since altmap is NULL,
vmemmap_free() falls back to freeing the vmemmap pages into the system
buddy allocator via free_pages() instead of the altmap.
arch_remove_memory() then immediately destroys the physical linear mapping
for this memory. This injects unowned pages into the buddy allocator,
causing machine checks or memory corruption if the system later attempts
to allocate and use those freed pages.
Fix this by passing params.altmap to arch_remove_memory() in the error
path.

[ Upstream commit 3bbc54dd1b62f1a4b218c70aafbeceeba7c90c5d ]
Currently, the memory hot-remove call chain -- arch_remove_memory(),
__remove_pages(), sparse_remove_section() and section_deactivate() -- does
not carry the struct dev_pagemap pointer. This prevents the lower levels
from knowing whether the section was originally populated with vmemmap
optimizations (e.g., DAX with vmemmap optimization enabled).
Without this information, we cannot call vmemmap_can_optimize() to
determine if the vmemmap pages were optimized. As a result, the vmemmap
page accounting during teardown will mistakenly assume a non-optimized
allocation, leading to incorrect memmap statistics.
To lay the groundwork for fixing the vmemmap page accounting, we need to
pass the @pgmap pointer down to the deactivation location. Plumb the
@pgmap argument through the APIs of arch_remove_memory(), __remove_pages()
and sparse_remove_section(), mirroring the corresponding *_activate()
paths.

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>
[ Upstream commit 721a73e30c9e3e8fcffe1725bcede1bbd20b4918 ]
When vmemmap optimization is enabled for DAX, the nr_memmap_pages counter
in /proc/vmstat is incorrect. The current code always accounts for the
full, non-optimized vmemmap size, but vmemmap optimization reduces the
actual number of vmemmap pages by reusing tail pages. This causes the
system to overcount vmemmap usage, leading to inaccurate page statistics
in /proc/vmstat.
Fix this by introducing section_nr_vmemmap_pages(), which returns the
exact vmemmap page count for a given pfn range based on whether
optimization is in effect.
