lockdep reports possible circular locking dependency when udev is used

which is probably a false positive because we take and release
ha_region_mutex from memory notifier chain depending on the arg. No real
deadlocks were reported so far (though I'm not really sure about
preemptible kernels...) but we don't really need to hold the mutex
for so long. We use it to protect ha_region_list (and its members) and the
num_pages_onlined counter. None of these operations require us to sleep
and nothing is slow, switch to using spinlock with interrupts disabled.

I'm observing the following hot add requests from the WS2012 host:
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x108200 count = 330752
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x158e00 count = 193536
hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x188400 count = 239616
As the host doesn't specify hot add regions we're trying to create
128Mb-aligned region covering the first request, we create the 0x108000 -
0x160000 region and we add 0x108000 - 0x158e00 memory. The second request
passes the pfn_covered() check, we enlarge the region to 0x108000 -
0x190000 and add 0x158e00 - 0x188200 memory. The problem emerges with the
third request as it starts at 0x188400 so there is a 0x200 gap which is
not covered. As the end of our region is 0x190000 now it again passes the
pfn_covered() check were we just adjust the covered_end_pfn and make it
0x188400 instead of 0x188200 which means that we'll try to online
0x188200-0x188400 pages but these pages were never assigned to us and we
crash.
We can't react to such requests by creating new hot add regions as it may
happen that the whole suggested range falls into the previously identified
128Mb-aligned area so we'll end up adding nothing or create intersecting
regions and our current logic doesn't allow that. Instead, create a list of
such 'gaps' and check for them in the page online callback.

Windows 2012 (non-R2) does not specify hot add region in hot add requests
and the logic in hot_add_req() is trying to find a 128Mb-aligned region
covering the request. It may also happen that host's requests are not 128Mb
aligned and the created ha_region will start before the first specified
PFN. We can't online these non-present pages but we don't remember the real
start of the region.
This is a regression introduced by the commit 5abbbb75d7 ("Drivers: hv:
hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not natural"). While
the idea of keeping the 'moving window' was wrong (as there is no guarantee
that hot add requests come ordered) we should still keep track of

Memory notifiers are being executed in a sequential order and when one of
them fails returning something different from NOTIFY_OK the remainder of
the notification chain is not being executed. When a memory block is being
onlined in online_pages() we do memory_notify(MEM_GOING_ONLINE, ) and if
one of the notifiers in the chain fails we end up doing
memory_notify(MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE, ) so it is possible for a notifier to see
MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE without seeing the corresponding MEM_GOING_ONLINE event.
E.g. when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the kasan_mem_notifier() is being used
to prevent memory hotplug, it returns NOTIFY_BAD for all MEM_GOING_ONLINE
events. As kasan_mem_notifier() comes before the hv_memory_notifier() in
the notification chain we don't see the MEM_GOING_ONLINE event and we do
not take the ha_region_mutex. We, however, see the MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE event
and unconditionally try to release the lock, the following is observed:

... and simplify alloc_balloon_pages() interface by removing redundant
alloc_error from it.
If we happen to enter balloon_up() with balloon_wrk.num_pages = 0 we will enter
infinite 'while (!done)' loop as alloc_balloon_pages() will be always returning
0 and not setting alloc_error. We will also be sending a meaningless message to
the host on every iteration.
The 'alloc_unit == 1 && alloc_error -> num_ballooned == 0' change and
alloc_error elimination requires a special comment. We do alloc_balloon_pages()
with 2 different alloc_unit values and there are 4 different
alloc_balloon_pages() results, let's check them all.
alloc_unit = 512:
1) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error = 0: we do 'alloc_unit=1' and retry pre- and
post-patch.
2) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error = 0: we check 'num_ballooned == num_pages'
and act accordingly, pre- and post-patch.
3) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error > 0: we report this chunk and remain within
the loop, no changes here.
4) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error > 0: we do 'alloc_unit=1' and retry pre- and
post-patch.
alloc_unit = 1:
1) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error = 0: this can happen in two cases: when we
passed 'num_pages=0' to alloc_balloon_pages() or when there was no space in
bl_resp to place a single response. The second option is not possible as
bl_resp is of PAGE_SIZE size and single response 'union dm_mem_page_range' is
8 bytes, but the first one is (in theory, I think that Hyper-V host never
places such requests). Pre-patch code loops forever, post-patch code sends
a reply with more_pages = 0 and finishes.
2) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error = 0: we ran out of space in bl_resp, we
report partial success and remain within the loop, no changes pre- and
post-patch.
3) num_ballooned > 0, alloc_error > 0: pre-patch code finishes, post-patch code
does one more try and if there is no progress (we finish with
'num_ballooned = 0') we finish. So we try a bit harder with this patch.
4) num_ballooned = 0, alloc_error > 0: both pre- and post-patch code enter
'more_pages = 0' branch and finish.
So this patch has two real effects:
1) We reply with an empty response to 'num_pages=0' request.
2) We try a bit harder on alloc_unit=1 allocations (and reply with an empty
tail reply in case we fail).
An empty reply should be supported by host as we were able to send it even with
pre-patch code when we were not able to allocate a single page.

Currently we add memory in 128Mb blocks but the request from host can be
aligned differently. In such case we add a partially backed block and
when this block goes online we skip onlining pages which are not backed
(hv_online_page() callback serves this purpose). When we receive next
request for the same host add region we online pages which were not backed
before with hv_bring_pgs_online(). However, we don't check if the the block
in question was onlined and online this tail unconditionally. This is bad as
we avoid all online_pages() logic: these pages are not accounted, we don't
send notifications (and hv_balloon is not the only receiver of them),...
And, first of all, nobody asked as to online these pages. Solve the issue by
checking if the last previously backed page was onlined and onlining the tail

Memory blocks can be onlined in random order. When this order is not natural
some memory pages are not onlined because of the redundant check in
hv_online_page().
Here is a real world scenario:
1) Host tries to hot-add the following (process_hot_add):
pg_start=rg_start=0x48000, pfn_cnt=111616, rg_size=262144
2) This results in adding 4 memory blocks:
[ 109.057866] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x48000000-0x4fffffff]
[ 114.102698] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x50000000-0x57ffffff]
[ 119.168039] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x58000000-0x5fffffff]
[ 124.233053] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000-0x67ffffff]
The last one is incomplete but we have special has->covered_end_pfn counter to
avoid onlining non-backed frames and hv_bring_pgs_online() function to bring
them online later on.
3) Now we have 4 offline memory blocks: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9-12
$ for f in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do echo $f `cat $f`; done | grep -v onlin
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/state offline
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory11/state offline
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state offline
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state offline
4) We bring them online in non-natural order:
$grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 966348 kB
$echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state && grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1019596 kB
$echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory11/state && grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1150668 kB
$echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state && grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1150668 kB
As you can see memory9 block gives us zero additional memory. We can also
observe a huge discrepancy between host- and guest-reported memory sizes.
The root cause of the issue is the redundant pg >= covered_start_pfn check (and
covered_start_pfn advancing) in hv_online_page(). When upper memory block in
being onlined before the lower one (memory12 and memory11 in the above case) we
advance the covered_start_pfn pointer and all memory9 pages do not pass the
check. If the assumption that host always gives us requests in sequential order
and pg_start always equals rg_start when the first request for the new HA
region is received (that's the case in my testing) is correct than we can get
rid of covered_start_pfn and pg >= start_pfn check in hv_online_page() is
sufficient.

When several memory blocks are going online simultaneously we got several
hv_memory_notifier() trying to acquire the ha_region_mutex. When this mutex is
being held by hot_add_req() all these competing acquire_region_mutex() do
mutex_trylock, fail, and queue themselves into wait_for_completion(..). However
when we do complete() from release_region_mutex() only one of them wakes up.
This could be solved by changing complete() -> complete_all() memory onlining
can be delayed as well, in that case we can still get several
hv_memory_notifier() runners at the same time trying to grab the mutex.
Only one of them will succeed and the others will hang for forever as
complete() is not being called. We don't see this issue often because we have
5sec onlining timeout in hv_mem_hot_add() and usually all udev events arrive
in this time frame.

Remove HV_DRV_VERSION, it has no meaning for upstream drivers.
Initially it was supposed to show the "Linux Integration Services"
version, now it is not in sync anymore with the out-of-tree drivers
available from the MSFT website.
The only place where a version string is still required is the KVP
command "IntegrationServicesVersion" which is handled by
tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c. To satisfy such KVP request from the host pass
the current string to the daemon during KVP userland registration.

Each message sent from the guest carries with it a transaction ID.
Assign the transaction ID just before putting the message on the VMBUS.
This would help in debugging on the host side.

When we are posting pressure status, we may get interrupted and handle
the un-balloon operation. In this case just don't post the status as we
know the pressure status is stale.

As we hot-add 128 MB chunks of memory, we wait to ensure that the memory
is onlined before attempting to hot-add the next chunk. If the udev rule for
memory hot-add is not executed within the allowed time, we would rollback the
state and abort further hot-add. Since the hot-add has succeeded and the only
failure is that the memory is not onlined within the allowed time, we should not
be rolling back the state. Fix this bug.

If memory hot-add fails with the error -EEXIST, then this is a permanent
failure. Notify the host of this information, so the host will not attempt
hot-add again. If the failure were a transient failure, host will attempt
a hot-add after some delay.
In this version of the patch, I have added some additional comments
to clarify how the host treats different failure conditions.

On Hyper-V it will be very efficient to use 2M allocations in the guest as this
makes the ballooning protocol with the host that much more efficient. Hyper-V
uses page ranges (start pfn : number of pages) to specify memory being moved
around and with 2M pages this encoding can be very efficient. However, when
memory is returned to the guest, the host does not guarantee any granularity.
To deal with this issue, split the page soon after a successful 2M allocation
so that this memory can potentially be freed as 4K pages.
If 2M allocations fail, we revert to 4K allocations.
In this version of the patch, based on the feedback from Michal Hocko
<mhocko@suse.cz>, I have added some additional commentary to the patch
description.

Some Windows hosts permit the guest to specify memory hot-add alignment
requirements (if any). Linux currently requires a 128MB alignment on memory
segments that can be hot-added. Specify this alignment requirement to the
host.

Implement the memory hot-add functionality. With this, Linux guests can fully
participate in the Dynamic Memory protocol implemented in the Windows hosts.
In this version of the patch, based Olaf Herring's feedback, I have gotten
rid of the module level dependency on MEMORY_HOTPLUG. Instead the code within
the driver that depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG has the appropriate compilation
switches. This would allow this driver to support pure ballooning in cases
where the kernel does not support memory hotplug.

The balloon driver is stateful. For instance, it needs to keep track of pages
that have been ballooned out to properly post pressure reports. This state cannot
be re-constructed if the driver were to be unloaded and subsequently loaded.
Furthermore, as we support memory hot-add as part of this driver, this driver becomes
even more stateful and this state cannot be re-created. Make the balloon driver
unloadable to deal with this issue.

Execute the hot-add operation in a separate work context.
This allows us to decouple the pressure reporting activity from the
"hot-add" activity. Testing has shown that this makes the guest more
responsive to hot add requests.
