Hello,
This patchset separates two use cases of PageHighMem() by introducing
PageHighMemZone() macro. And, it changes the implementation of
PageHighMem() to reflect the actual meaning of this macro. This patchset
is a preparation step for the patchset,
"mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE" [1].
PageHighMem() is used for two different cases. One is to check if there
is a direct mapping for this page or not. The other is to check the
zone of this page, that is, weather it is the highmem type zone or not.
Until now, both the cases are the perfectly same thing. So, implementation
of the PageHighMem() uses the one case that checks if the zone of the page
is the highmem type zone or not.
"#define PageHighMem(__p) is_highmem_idx(page_zonenum(__p))"
ZONE_MOVABLE is special. It is considered as normal type zone on
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM, but, it is considered as highmem type zone
on CONFIG_HIGHMEM. Let's focus on later case. In later case, all pages
on the ZONE_MOVABLE has no direct mapping until now.
However, following patchset
"mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE"
, which is once merged and reverted, will be tried again and will break
this assumption that all pages on the ZONE_MOVABLE has no direct mapping.
Hence, the ZONE_MOVABLE which is considered as highmem type zone could
have the both types of pages, direct mapped and not. Since
the ZONE_MOVABLE could have both type of pages, __GFP_HIGHMEM is still
required to allocate the memory from it. And, we conservatively need to
consider the ZONE_MOVABLE as highmem type zone.
Even in this situation, PageHighMem() for the pages on the ZONE_MOVABLE
when it is called for checking the direct mapping should return correct
result. Current implementation of PageHighMem() just returns TRUE
if the zone of the page is on a highmem type zone. So, it could be wrong
if the page on the MOVABLE_ZONE is actually direct mapped.
To solve this potential problem, this patch introduces a new
PageHighMemZone() macro. In following patches, two use cases of
PageHighMem() are separated by calling proper macro, PageHighMem() and
PageHighMemZone(). Then, implementation of PageHighMem() will be changed
as just checking if the direct mapping exists or not, regardless of
the zone of the page.
Note that there are some rules to determine the proper macro.
1. If PageHighMem() is called for checking if the direct mapping exists
or not, use PageHighMem().
2. If PageHighMem() is used to predict the previous gfp_flags for
this page, use PageHighMemZone(). The zone of the page is related to
the gfp_flags.
3. If purpose of calling PageHighMem() is to count highmem page and
to interact with the system by using this count, use PageHighMemZone().
This counter is usually used to calculate the available memory for an
kernel allocation and pages on the highmem zone cannot be available
for an kernel allocation.
4. Otherwise, use PageHighMemZone(). It's safe since it's implementation
is just copy of the previous PageHighMem() implementation and won't
be changed.
My final plan is to change the name, PageHighMem() to PageNoDirectMapped()
or something else in order to represent proper meaning.
This patchset is based on next-20200420 and you can find the full patchset on the
following link.

Until now, PageHighMem() is used for two different cases. One is to check
if there is a direct mapping for this page or not. The other is to check
the zone of this page, that is, weather it is the highmem type zone or not.
Previous patches introduce PageHighMemZone() macro and separates both
cases strictly. So, now, PageHighMem() is used just for checking if
there is a direct mapping for this page or not.
In the following patchset, ZONE_MOVABLE which could be considered as
the highmem type zone in some configuration could have both types of
pages, direct mapped pages and unmapped pages. So, current implementation
of PageHighMem() that checks the zone rather than checks the page in order
to check if a direct mapping exists will be invalid. This patch prepares
that case by implementing PageHighMem() with the max_low_pfn.

2.7.4
From: Joonsoo Kim <[email protected]>
Until now, PageHighMem() is used for two different cases. One is to check
if there is a direct mapping for this page or not. The other is to check
the zone of this page, that is, weather it is the highmem type zone or not.
Now, we have separate functions, PageHighMem() and PageHighMemZone() for
each cases. Use appropriate one.
Note that there are some rules to determine the proper macro.
1. If PageHighMem() is called for checking if the direct mapping exists
or not, use PageHighMem().
2. If PageHighMem() is used to predict the previous gfp_flags for
this page, use PageHighMemZone(). The zone of the page is related to
the gfp_flags.
3. If purpose of calling PageHighMem() is to count highmem page and
to interact with the system by using this count, use PageHighMemZone().
This counter is usually used to calculate the available memory for an
kernel allocation and pages on the highmem zone cannot be available
for an kernel allocation.
4. Otherwise, use PageHighMemZone(). It's safe since it's implementation
is just copy of the previous PageHighMem() implementation and won't
be changed.
I apply the rule #2 for this patch.

I don't understand why CMA allocating pages from ZONE_MOVABLE somehow
gives these pages a direct mapping. Maybe you have a freaky layout in
the architecture that makes no sense and that's what needs to be fixed?
My understanding of the zones is based on x86, and it looks like this
on a 32-bit system with 8GB of memory:
ZONE_DMA 0-16MB
ZONE_NORMAL 16-896MB
ZONE_HIGHMEM 896-xMB
ZONE_MOVABLE x-8192MB
where x is a boot option used to partition the highmem between movable
and unmovable.
Now, why would allocating the CMA from ZONE_NORMAL suddenly make these
pages part of the direct mapping?

I assume the scenario is that ZONE_MOVABLE could extend into today's ZONE_NORMAL
range, which is the range covered by direct mapping.
At that point, testing page's zone stops being a reliable test of "does this
page have direct mapping"?
I don't know the exact motivation why that will happen but I can imagine two.
1) some CMA user needs the CMA allocations to be in direct mapping range
2) the amount of CMA memory reservation required is so high it won't fit in
highmem range only.

Correct explanation. Thanks, Vlastimil.
This patchset is a preparation for my future patchset "mm/cma: manage the memory
of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE" [1] to solve the many CMA problems.
CMA areas can be on the all the memory range, from ZONE_DMA to ZONE_HIGHMEM.
And, in my future patchset [1], all the CMA areas are managed through
the ZONE_MOVABLE
and the range of the ZONE_MOVABLE is extended to cover all the CMA
areas. In this
case, following scenario would be possible.
CMA area 1: 32MB size on the memory range 16MB~48MB (originally on the
ZONE_NORMAL)
CMA area 2: 32MB size on the memory range 896MB~928MB (originally on
the ZONE_HIGHMEM)
With my future patchset [1], ZONE_MOVABLE manages all the pages from
CMA area 1 and 2.
So, ZONE_MOVABLE has both direct mapped page and un-mapped page. Since one zone
has two types of pages, current PageHighMem() implemented by using
zone index could not
work correctly. So, I make this patchset to change the PagHighMem()
implementation.

The range of CMA area is highly depends on system architecture and
device. Each device
using CMA area would have different limitation for address range and
someone's limitation
could be low memory range.

Thanks for review!
General approach needs to get an agreement from more developers.
Thanks.
I don't think the names are very good. I'd keep PageHighMem for the
existing highmem zone, and add something like PageDirectMapped or
similar for ay page that has a valid direct mapping address. This will
also come in handy if we plan to go ahead with the xpfo work.

I agree. It also looks like the only remaining place with PageHighMem()
is using "if (!PageHighMem(page))", so "if (PageDirectlyMapped(page))" would be
even better.
Joonsoo, the series in general looks very good to me. Please, feel free
to add "Acked-by: Roman Gushchin <[email protected]>".

For PageHighMem(), as mentioned in patch description, my next plan is
to rename PageHighMem() that checks valid direct mapping to
PageNoDirectMapped() or something else. PageDirectMapped() looks better.
Reason that rename isn't implemented in this patchset is that I'd like to rename
after everything is settle down.
For PageHighMemZone(), I think that it serves correct meaning.
Thanks.

I think this would be much cleaner if you open coded PageHighMemZone
here.
E.g.
int zone = page_zone(page);
if (is_highmem_idx(zone) || zone_idx(zone) == ZONE_MOVABLE)

Okay. I will use open code here to make two condition checks similar form.
