Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs

Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:
Early memory node ranges
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs:

$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones

The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the
node1 and node2's directory.

This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later,
one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the
system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is
raised:

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the
range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is
registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.

There are 2 issues here:

a. The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these multiple
links

b. The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
panic.

To address a. register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system
state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug
operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this series.

The patch 3 is addressing the point b.

Thanks,
Laurent

Since v2:
- Address David's comments
- Fix stupid build errors in patch 1
Since v1:
- change context enum's name from Michal's comment
- use 2 callbacks in link_mem_sections from David's comment
- use dev_err_ratelimited from Greg's comment

Laurent Dufour (3):
mm: replace memmap_context by memplug_context
mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations
mm: don't panic when links can't be created in sysfs

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mm: replace memmap_context by memplug_context

The memmap_context is used to detect whether a memory operation is due to a
hot-add operation or happening at boot time.

Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it at memplug_context.

There is no functional change introduced by this patch

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations

In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state’s value is checked to
detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug
operation. Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong
because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state. In
addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system state
by the ACPI [1]. So checking against the system state is not enough.

The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this:
Early memory node ranges
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and
hot-unplug operations are done. At the next reboot the node's memory ranges
can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is made in
topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state, the
node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to multiple nodes:

$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node*
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2

In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses memory
blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs inconsistency is
detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON():

This patch addresses the root cause by not relying on the system_state
value to detect whether the call is due to a hot-plug operation. An extra
parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the operation
is due to a hot-plug operation.

[1] According to Oscar Salvador, using this qemu command line, ACPI memory
hotplug operations are raised at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state:

I would like to stress that this is not the only way we can end up
hotplugging memor while state = SYSTEM_SCHEDULING.
According to David, we can end up doing this if we reboot a VM
with hotplugged memory.
(And I have seen other virtualization technologies do the same)

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context

The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is due
to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.

Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as meminit_context.

There is no functional change introduced by this patch

Hi Greg,

I'm sorry, I read that document few days ago before sending the series and again
this morning, but I can't figure out what I missed (following option 1).

Should the "Cc: [email protected]" tag be on each patch of the series even
if the whole series has been sent to stable ?

Should the whole series sent again (v4) instead of sending a fix as a reply to ?

Thanks,
Laurent.

That should be on any patch you expect to show up in a stable kernel
release.

It's up to the maintainer what they want, but as it is, this patch is
not going to end up in stable kernel release (which it looks like is the
right thing to do...)

Thanks a lot Greg.

I'll send that single patch again with the Cc: stable tag.

I don't think the patch 3 need to be backported, it doesn't fix any issue and
with the patch 1 and 2 applied, the BUG_ON should no more be triggered easily.

Laurent.

I think Andrew can add that when sending upstream.

While a single patch to fix + backport would be nicer, I don't see an
easy (!ugly) way to achieve the same without this cleanup.

1. We could rework patch #2 to pass a simple boolean flag, and a
follow-on patch to pass the context. Not sure if that's any better.

2. We could rework patch #2 to pass memmap_context first, and modify
patch #1 to also rename this instance.

Maybe 2. might be reasonable (not sure if worth the trouble). @Greg any
preference?

Agreed.

Andrew, can you do that?

I did.

Patches 1 & 2 are cc:stable, patch 3 is not.

I'll queue up 1 & 2 for a 5.9-rcX merge.
