      drivers/virt/acrn: fix PFNMAP PTE checks in acrn_vm_ram_map() · 3d658600
      David Hildenbrand authored 
      Patch series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn follow_pte() fixes".

Patch #1 fixes a bunch of issues I spotted in the acrn driver.  It
compiles, that's all I know.  I'll appreciate some review and testing from
acrn folks.

Patch #2+#3 improve follow_pte(), passing a VMA instead of the MM, adding
more sanity checks, and improving the documentation.  Gave it a quick test
on x86-64 using VM_PAT that ends up using follow_pte().


This patch (of 3):

We currently miss handling various cases, resulting in a dangerous
follow_pte() (previously follow_pfn()) usage.

(1) We're not checking PTE write permissions.

Maybe we should simply always require pte_write() like we do for
pin_user_pages_fast(FOLL_WRITE)? Hard to tell, so let's check for
ACRN_MEM_ACCESS_WRITE for now.

(2) We're not rejecting refcounted pages.

As we are not using MMU notifiers, messing with refcounted pages is
dangerous and can result in use-after-free. Let's make sure to reject them.

(3) We are only looking at the first PTE of a bigger range.

We only lookup a single PTE, but memmap->len may span a larger area.
Let's loop over all involved PTEs and make sure the PFN range is
actually contiguous. Reject everything else: it couldn't have worked
either way, and rather made use access PFNs we shouldn't be accessing.

      mm,swap: add document about RCU read lock and swapoff interaction · d4a34d7f
      Huang Ying authored 
      During reviewing a patch to fix the race condition between
free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff() [1], it was found that the document
about how to prevent racing with swapoff isn't clear enough.  Especially
RCU read lock can prevent swapoff from freeing data structures.  So, the
document is added as comments.

      memory tier: create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info · cf93be18
      Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang authored 
      The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as CXL1.1
type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
(E820_TYPE_RAM).  However, these emulated devices have different
characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to distinguish
them.  Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process to
introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes.  This delay ensures
that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred until HMAT
information is obtained during the boot process.  Finally, demotion tables
are recalculated at the end.

* late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
  Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
  `memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
  online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers.  They should be
  excluded in the late init.

* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
  There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT
  information.  If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the
  default DRAM tier.

* Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist
  calculation In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist
  nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`.  However,
  `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
  leading to a potential deadlock.  Therefore, we propose introducing a
  standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf_*`. 
  This approach not only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large
  lock simultaneously.

* Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
  default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations.  To cover
  hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
  `mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
  handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information
  is available.

* Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
  initialized by device drivers.  Because late initialized memory and
  default DRAM memory need to be managed, a default memory type is created
  for storing all memory types that are not initialized by device drivers
  and as a fallback.

      memory tier: dax/kmem: introduce an abstract layer for finding, allocating, and putting memory types

Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11.

When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal
memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal
DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation.  The
current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the
same DRAM tier.  This results in normal memory devices with different
attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier,
leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of
memory. 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/PH0PR08MB7955E9F08CCB64F23963B5C3A860A@PH0PR08MB7955.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/T/

This patchset automatically resolves the issues.  It delays the
initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain
HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time,
eliminating the need for user intervention.  If no HMAT is specified, it
falls back to using `default_dram_type`.

Example usecase:
We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory
device backed by host CXL memory.  We inject CXL memory performance
attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with
performance attributes in HMAT.  With this change, we enable the guest
kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes.


This patch (of 2):

Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting
memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing
the scalability and conciseness of the code.
