Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/12] Make MAX_ORDER adjustable as a kernel boot time parameter.

From: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>

Hi all,

This patchset adds support for kernel boot time adjustable MAX_ORDER, so that
user can change the largest size of pages buddy allocator allocates.
It is on top of mm-everything-2022-08-11-02-10.

Motivation
===

This enables kernel to allocate 1GB pages and is necessary for my ongoing work
on adding support for 1GB PUD THP[1]. This is also the conclusion I came up with
after some discussion with David Hildenbrand on what methods should be used for
allocating gigantic pages[2], since other approaches like using CMA allocator or
alloc_contig_pages() are regarded as suboptimal.

In addition, make MAX_ORDER a kernel boot time parameter can enable user to
adjust buddy allocator without recompiling the kernel for their own needs, so
that one can still have a small MAX_ORDER if he/she does not need to allocate
gigantic pages like 1GB PUD THPs.

Background
===

At the moment, kernel imposes MAX_ORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHFIT < SECTION_SIZE_BITS
restriction. This prevents buddy allocator merging pages across memory sections,
as PFNs might not be contiguous and code like page++ would fail. But this would
not be an issue when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set, since all struct page are
virtually contiguous. So boot time adjustable MAX_ORDER depends on
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Description
===

I tested the patchset on both x86_64 and ARM64 at 4KB base pages. The systems
boot and run. It definitely needs more tests and reviews.

In terms of the concerns on performance degradation if MAX_ORDER is increased,
I run vm-scalability from lkp comparing current system, my patchset with
MAX_ORDER=11 and my patchset with MAX_ORDER=20 on a x86_64 VM and saw
almost no performance difference, please attached vm-scalability reports.

Patch 1 renames FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER to ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER for a more
precise description.

Patch 2 changes MAX_ORDER to represent the max order of pages allocated
by buddy allocator. right now MAX_ORDER - 1 represents that and it is
confusing. Suggested by Vlastimil Babka.

Patch 3 replaces MAX_ORDER with MAX_PHYS_CONTIG_ORDER when it is used to
indicate the maximum number of physically contiguous pages.

Patch 4 fixes deferred struct page initialization when MAX_ORDER is
bigger than a memory section size.

Patch 5-8 convert the use of MAX_ORDER to pageblock_order. Since
pageblock_order is a constant when MAX_ORDER can be changed at boot time
and close to current MAX_ORDER value. I separate changes to different patches
for easy review and can merge them into a single one if that works better.

Patch 9 adds a new Kconfig option SET_MAX_ORDER to allow specifying MAX_ORDER
when ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER is not used by the arch, like x86_64.

Patch 10 converts statically allocated arrays with MAX_ORDER length to dynamic
ones if possible and prepares for making MAX_ORDER a boot time parameter.

Patch 11 adds a new MIN_MAX_ORDER constant to replace soon-to-be-dynamic
MAX_ORDER for places where converting static array to dynamic one is causing
hassle and not necessary, i.e., ARM64 hypervisor page allocation and SLAB.

Patch 12 changes MAX_ORDER to be a kernel boot time parameter and it is
opt-in as an mm/Kconfig option.


Any suggestion and/or comment is welcome. Thanks.

Zi Yan (12):
  arch: mm: rename FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER to ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
  mm: rectify MAX_ORDER semantics to be the largest page order from
    buddy allocator
  mm: replace MAX_ORDER when it is used to indicate max physical
    contiguity.
  mm: adapt deferred struct page init to new MAX_ORDER.
  mm: prevent pageblock size being larger than section size.
  fs: proc: use pageblock_nr_pages for reschedule period in read_kcore()
  virtio: virtio_balloon: use pageblock_order instead of MAX_ORDER
  mm/page_reporting: set page_reporting_order to -1 to prevent it
    running
  mm: Make MAX_ORDER of buddy allocator configurable via Kconfig
    SET_MAX_ORDER.
  mm: convert MAX_ORDER sized static arrays to dynamic ones.
  mm: introduce MIN_MAX_ORDER to replace MAX_ORDER as compile time
    constant.
  mm: make MAX_ORDER a kernel boot time parameter.
