a997058679 mm: vmstat.c: make extfrag_index show more pretty
fragmentation_index may return -1000 and the corresponding formated
value showed by seq_printf will take a negative signatrue, but other
positive formated values don't take a positive signatrue, so the output
becomes unaligned.

af1c31acc8 mm/vmstat: annotate data race for zone->free_area[order].nr_free
KCSAN reports a data-race on v5.10 which also exists on mainline:

  BUG: KCSAN: data-race in extfrag_for_order+0x33/0x2d0

  race at unknown origin, with read to 0xffff9ee9bfffab48 of 8 bytes by task 34 on cpu 1:

Access to zone->free_area[order].nr_free in extfrag_for_order() and
frag_show_print() is lockless.  That's intentional and the stats are a
rough estimate anyway.  Annotate them with data_race().

e3820ab252 selftest/vm: fix ksm selftest to run with different NUMA topologies
Platforms can have non-contiguous NUMA nodes like below

   #numactl  -H
  available: 2 nodes (0,8)
  .....
  node distances:
  node   0   8
    0:  10  40
    8:  40  10

   #numactl  -H
  available: 1 nodes (1)
  ....
  node distances:
  node   1
    1:  10

Hence update the test to not assume the presence of Node 0 and 1 and
also use numa_num_configured_nodes() instead of numa_max_node for
finding whether to skip the test.

8468e937df mm, thp: fix incorrect unmap behavior for private pages
When truncating pagecache on file THP, the private pages of a process
should not be unmapped mapping.  This incorrect behavior on a dynamic
shared libraries which will cause related processes to happen core dump.

A simple test for a DSO (Prerequisite is the DSO mapped in file THP):

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
	int fd;

	fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("open");
	}

	close(fd);
	return 0;
    }

The test only to open a target DSO, and do nothing.  But this operation
will lead one or more process to happen core dump.  This patch mainly to
fix this bug.

55fc0d9174 mm, thp: lock filemap when truncating page cache
Patch series "fix two bugs for file THP".

This patch (of 2):

Transparent huge page has supported read-only non-shmem files.  The
file- backed THP is collapsed by khugepaged and truncated when written
(for shared libraries).

However, there is a race when multiple writers truncate the same page
cache concurrently.

In that case, subpage(s) of file THP can be revealed by find_get_entry
in truncate_inode_pages_range, which will trigger PageTail BUG_ON in
truncate_inode_page, as follows:

39cad8878a selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: fix ram size thinko
When executing transhuge-stress with an argument to specify the virtual
memory size for testing, the ram size is reported as 0, e.g.

  transhuge-stress 384
  thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 0 MiB of ram
  thp-mmap: 0.184 s/loop, 0.957 ms/page,   2090.265 MiB/s  192 succeed,    0 failed

This appears to be due to a thinko in commit 0085d61fe0
("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction"),
where, at a guess, the intent was to base "xyz MiB of ram" on `ram`
size.

Here are results after using `ram` size:

  thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 14 MiB of ram

20f9ba4f99 mm: migrate: make demotion knob depend on migration
The memory demotion needs to call migrate_pages() to do the jobs.  And
it is controlled by a knob, however, the knob doesn't depend on
CONFIG_MIGRATION.  The knob could be truned on even though MIGRATION is
disabled, this will not cause any crash since migrate_pages() would just
return -ENOSYS.  But it is definitely not optimal to go through demotion
path then retry regular swap every time.

And it doesn't make too much sense to have the knob visible to the users
when !MIGRATION.  Move the related code from mempolicy.[h|c] to
migrate.[h|c].

8eb42beac8 mm/migrate: de-duplicate migrate_reason strings
In order to remove the need to manually keep three different files in
synch, provide a common definition of the mapping between enum
migrate_reason, and the associated strings for each enum item.

1. Use the tracing system's mapping of enums to strings, by redefining
   and reusing the MIGRATE_REASON and supporting macros, and using that
   to populate the string array in mm/debug.c.

2. Move enum migrate_reason to migrate_mode.h. This is not strictly
   necessary for this patch, but migrate mode and migrate reason go
   together, so this will slightly clarify things.

b5389086ad hugetlbfs: extend the definition of hugepages parameter to support node allocation
We can specify the number of hugepages to allocate at boot.  But the
hugepages is balanced in all nodes at present.  In some scenarios, we
only need hugepages in one node.  For example: DPDK needs hugepages
which are in the same node as NIC.

If DPDK needs four hugepages of 1G size in node1 and system has 16 numa
nodes we must reserve 64 hugepages on the kernel cmdline.  But only four
hugepages are used.  The others should be free after boot.  If the
system memory is low(for example: 64G), it will be an impossible task.

So extend the hugepages parameter to support specifying hugepages on a
specific node.  For example add following parameter:

  hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:1,1:3

It will allocate 1 hugepage in node0 and 3 hugepages in node1.

3723929eb0 mm: mark the OOM reaper thread as freezable
The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter
the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent
state.  To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable()
while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system
freezes.

However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because
all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are
automatically excluded from freezing operations.  This means that the
OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while
the system is being frozen.

Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the
PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer.

Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly
a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

c486514dd4 xen/x86: free_p2m_page: use memblock_free_ptr() to free a virtual pointer
free_p2m_page() wrongly passes a virtual pointer to memblock_free() that
treats it as a physical address.

Call memblock_free_ptr() instead that gets a virtual address to free the
memory.

5787ea5bed arch_numa: simplify numa_distance allocation
Patch series "memblock: cleanup memblock_free interface", v2.

This is the fix for memblock freeing APIs mismatch [1].

The first patch is a cleanup of numa_distance allocation in arch_numa
I've spotted during the conversion.  The second patch is a fix for Xen
memory freeing on some of the error paths.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wj9k4LZTz+svCxLYs5Y1=+yKrbAUArH1+ghyG3OLd8VVg@mail.gmail.com

This patch (of 6):

Memory allocation of numa_distance uses memblock_phys_alloc_range()
without actual range limits, converts the returned physical address to
virtual and then only uses the virtual address for further
initialization.

Simplify this by replacing memblock_phys_alloc_range() with
memblock_alloc().

a62f5ecbfb tools/vm/page-types.c: make walk_file() aware of address range option
Patch series "tools/vm/page-types.c: a few improvements".

This patchset adds some improvements on tools/vm/page-types.c.  Patch
1/3 makes -a option (specify address range) work with -f (file cache
mode).  Patch 2/3 and 3/3 are to fix minor formatting issues of this
tool.  These would make life a little easier for the users of this tool.

Please see individual patches for more details about specific issues.

This patch (of 3):

-a|--addr option is used to limit the range of address to be scanned for
page status.  It works now for physical address space (dafult mode) or for
virtual address space (with -p option), but not for file address space
(with -f option).  So make walk_file() aware of -a option.

f7df2b1cf0 tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: count and sort by mem
When viewing page owner information, we may be more concerned about the
total memory rather than the times of stack appears.  Therefore, the
following adjustments are made:

1. Added the statistics on the total number of pages.

2. Added the optional parameter "-m" to configure the program to sort by
   memory (total pages).

The general output of page_owner is as follows:

	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
	PFN XXX ...
	 // Detailed stack

	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
	PFN XXX ...
	 // Detailed stack

The original page_owner_sort ignores PFN rows, puts the remaining rows
in buf, counts the times of buf, and finally sorts them according to the
times.  General output:

	XXX times:
	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
	 // Detailed stack

Now, we use regexp to extract the page order value from the buf, and
count the total pages for the buf.  General output:

	XXX times, XXX pages:
	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
	 // Detailed stack

By default, it is still sorted by the times of buf; If you want to sort
by the pages nums of buf, use the new -m parameter.

kswapd has made progress.  This patch increases the maximum timeout.

c3f4a9a2b0 mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttle
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying
a timeout value.  The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling.  These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived

Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value.  Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

132b0d21d2 mm/page_alloc: remove the throttling logic from the page allocator
The page allocator stalls based on the number of pages that are waiting
for writeback to start but this should now be redundant.
shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are
unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active.  If it fails to
make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly
then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

8d58802fc9 mm/writeback: throttle based on page writeback instead of congestion
do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a
lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the
congestion state is not updated for all BDIs.

This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback
that located on the local node.  The main weakness is that there is no
correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but
that is still better than congestion_wait.

69392a403f mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is being made
Memcg reclaim throttles on congestion if no reclaim progress is made.
This makes little sense, it might be due to writeback or a host of other
factors.

For !memcg reclaim, it's messy.  Direct reclaim primarily is throttled
in the page allocator if it is failing to make progress.  Kswapd
throttles if too many pages are under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim.

This patch explicitly throttles if reclaim is failing to make progress.

d818fca1ca mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim
instances have isolated too many pages.  This makes no sense, excessive
parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion.

This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many
pages are isolated.  The throttled tasks are woken when the number of
isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs.  There may be some false
positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will
throttle again if necessary.

8cd7c588de mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.

This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested.  It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].

Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea.  While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).

This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.

 - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
   enough pages get cleaned

 - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
   either reclaimed or put back on the LRU

 - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
   another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.

This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work.  A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem.  Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.

stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase.  It has
four types of worker.

 - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
   times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time

 - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
   size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
   to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
   accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
   linear write speed of the storage.

 - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files

 - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory

 - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory

X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4

The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.

The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages.  The results below are based on having zero
readers.

The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.

The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.

Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results.  The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU.  There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim.  The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers.  Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.

It is expected that this will be very machine dependant.  Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not.  The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger.  The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable.  For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different.  The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity.  Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.

The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different.  Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes.  The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

  Ops Percentage direct scans               90.59          77.37

For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the
patches, 77.37% were direct reclaim due to throttling

  82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all.  What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

      1 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=120000
      2 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=132000

    778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000

congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.

Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

------------

Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

    112 usec_timeout=100000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry.  For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were

   6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
  93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
  96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward.  A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

      9 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

   6520 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=0 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

Most did not stall at all.  A small number reached the timeout.

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS, the breakdown of stalls were all over
the map

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all.  The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.

While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

  83962 usec_timeout=100000 usect_delayed=100000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all.  This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.

Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls.  There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage.  A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.

This patch (of 5):

Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:

 - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
   reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
   pages can be cleaned.

 - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
   inodes.

wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started.  If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early.  If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

a500cb342c mm/page_isolation: guard against possible putback unisolated page
Isolating a free page in an isolated pageblock is expected to always
work as watermarks don't apply here.

But if __isolate_free_page() failed, due to condition changes, the page
will be left on the free list.  And the page will be put back to free
list again via __putback_isolated_page().  This may trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() on page->flags checking in __free_one_page() if
PageReported is set.  Or we will corrupt the free list because
list_add() will be called for pages already on another list.

Add a VM_WARN_ON() to complain about this change.

e1d8c966db mm/page_isolation: fix potential missing call to unset_migratetype_isolate()
In start_isolate_page_range() undo path, pfn_to_online_page() just
checks the first pfn in a pageblock while __first_valid_page() will
traverse the pageblock until the first online pfn is found.  So we may
miss the call to unset_migratetype_isolate() in undo path and pages will
remain isolated unexpectedly.

Fix this by calling undo_isolate_page_range() and this will also help to
simplify the code further.  Note we shouldn't ever trigger it because
MAX_ORDER-1 aligned pfn ranges shouldn't contain memory holes now.

ad0ce23ed0 userfaultfd/selftests: fix calculation of expected ioctls
Today, we assert that the ioctls the kernel reports as supported for a
registration match a precomputed list.  We decide which ioctls are
supported by examining the memory type.  Then, in several locations we
"fix up" this list by adding or removing things this initial decision
got wrong.

What ioctls the kernel reports is actually a function of several things:
- The memory type
- Kernel feature support (e.g., no writeprotect on aarch64)
- The registration type (e.g., CONTINUE only supported for MINOR mode)

So, we can't fully compute this at the start, in set_test_type.  It
varies per test, depending on what registration mode(s) those tests use.

Instead, introduce a new function which computes the correct list.  This
centralizes the add/remove of ioctls depending on these function inputs
in one place, so we don't have to repeat ourselves in various tests.

Not only is the resulting code a bit shorter, but it fixes a real bug in
the existing code: previously, we would incorrectly require the
writeprotect ioctl to be present on aarch64, where it isn't actually
supported.

1042a53d0e userfaultfd/selftests: fix feature support detection
Before any tests are run, in set_test_type, we decide what feature(s) we
are going to be testing, based upon our command line arguments.
However, the supported features are not just a function of the memory
type being used, so this is broken.

For instance, consider writeprotect support.  It is "normally" supported
for anonymous memory, but furthermore it requires that the kernel has
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP.  So, it is *not* supported at all on
aarch64, for example.

So, this fixes this by querying the kernel for the set of features it
supports in set_test_type, by opening a userfaultfd and issuing a
UFFDIO_API ioctl.  Based upon the reported features, we toggle what
tests are enabled.

1c10e674b3 userfaultfd/selftests: don't rely on GNU extensions for random numbers
Patch series "Small userfaultfd selftest fixups", v2.

This patch (of 3):

Two arguments for doing this:

First, and maybe most importantly, the resulting code is significantly
shorter / simpler.

Then, we avoid using GNU libc extensions.  Why does this matter? It
makes testing userfaultfd with the selftest easier e.g.  on distros
which use something other than glibc (e.g., Alpine, which uses musl);
basically, it makes the test more portable.

In commit 7118fc2906 ("hugetlb: address ref count racing in
prep_compound_gigantic_page"), page_ref_freeze is used to atomically
zero the ref count of tail pages iff they are 1.  The unconditional call
to set_page_count(0) was left in the code.  This call is after
page_ref_freeze so it is really a noop.

Remove redundant and unnecessary set_page_count call.

So we can remove the file_region validation in has_same_uncharge_info()
to simplify the code.

aa6d2e8cba hugetlb: replace the obsolete hugetlb_instantiation_mutex in the comments
After commit 8382d914eb ("mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault
scalability"), the hugetlb_instantiation_mutex lock had been replaced by
hugetlb_fault_mutex_table to serializes faults on the same logical page.

Thus update the obsolete hugetlb_instantiation_mutex related comments.

38e719ab26 hugetlb: support node specified when using cma for gigantic hugepages
Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is
balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of
CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with
patch [1].

For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be
different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable
for the low-memory nodes.  Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned
by Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node.

On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory,
like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory).  On this system, we may want to
specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion
of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads.

Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support
specifying the size of CMA per-node.  An example is as follows:

  hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G

which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2
respectively.  And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to
allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

550a7d60bd mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed vma
Support mremap() for hugepage backed vma segment by simply repositioning
page table entries.  The page table entries are repositioned to the new
virtual address on mremap().

Hugetlb mremap() support is of course generic; my motivating use case is
a library (hugepage_text), which reloads the ELF text of executables in
hugepages.  This significantly increases the execution performance of
said executables.

Restrict the mremap operation on hugepages to up to the size of the
original mapping as the underlying hugetlb reservation is not yet
capable of handling remapping to a larger size.

During the mremap() operation we detect pmd_share'd mappings and we
unshare those during the mremap().  On access and fault the sharing is
established again.

calculated according to what khugepaged expected.

So when transparent huge pages get disabled, min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated instead of the higher value set by khugepaged.

8531fc6f52 hugetlb: add hugetlb demote page support
Demote page functionality will split a huge page into a number of huge
pages of a smaller size.  For example, on x86 a 1GB huge page can be
demoted into 512 2M huge pages.  Demotion is done 'in place' by simply
splitting the huge page.

Added '*_for_demote' wrappers for remove_hugetlb_page,
destroy_compound_hugetlb_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page for use by
demote code.

34d9e35b13 hugetlb: add demote bool to gigantic page routines
The routines remove_hugetlb_page and destroy_compound_gigantic_page will
remove a gigantic page and make the set of base pages ready to be
returned to a lower level allocator.  In the process of doing this, they
make all base pages reference counted.

The routine prep_compound_gigantic_page creates a gigantic page from a
set of base pages.  It assumes that all these base pages are reference
counted.

During demotion, a gigantic page will be split into huge pages of a
smaller size.  This logically involves use of the routines,
remove_hugetlb_page, and destroy_compound_gigantic_page followed by
prep_compound*_page for each smaller huge page.

When pages are reference counted (ref count >= 0), additional
speculative ref counts could be taken as described in previous commits
[1] and [2].  This could result in errors while demoting a huge page.
Quite a bit of code would need to be created to handle all possible
issues.

Instead of dealing with the possibility of speculative ref counts, avoid
the possibility by keeping ref counts at zero during the demote process.
Add a boolean 'demote' to the routines remove_hugetlb_page,
destroy_compound_gigantic_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page.  If the
boolean is set, the remove and destroy routines will not reference count
pages and the prep routine will not expect reference counted pages.

'*_for_demote' wrappers of the routines will be added in a subsequent
patch where this functionality is used.
