mm/page_alloc: let GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocs access highatomic reserves

Under memory pressure it's possible for GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocations to
fail even though free pages are available in the highatomic reserves.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations cannot trigger unreserve_highatomic_pageblock()
since it's only run from reclaim.

Given that such allocations will pass the watermarks in
__zone_watermark_unusable_free(), it makes sense to fallback to highatomic
reserves the same way that ALLOC_OOM can.

This fixes order-0 page allocation failures observed on Cloudflare's fleet
when handling network packets:

Merge branch 'nesting_reserved_regions' into iommufd.git for-next

Nicolin Chen says:

=========
IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI is a unique region defined by an IOMMU driver. Though it
is eventually used by a device for address translation to an MSI location
(including nested cases), practically it is a universal region across all
domains allocated for the IOMMU that defines it.

Currently IOMMUFD core fetches and reserves the region during an attach to
an hwpt_paging. It works with a hwpt_paging-only case, but might not work
with a nested case where a device could directly attach to a hwpt_nested,
bypassing the hwpt_paging attachment.

Move the enforcement forward, to the hwpt_paging allocation function. Then
clean up all the SW_MSI related things in the attach/replace routine.
=========

Merge tag 'i2c-host-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/andi.shyti/linux into i2c/for-mergewindow

The DesignWare and the Renesas I2C drivers have received most of
the changes in this pull request.

The first has has undergone through a series of cleanups that
have been sent to the mailing list a year ago for the first time
and finally get merged in this pull request. They are many, from
typos (e.g. i2/i2c), to cosmetics, to refactoring (e.g. move
inline functions to librarieas) and many others.

Besides that, all the DesignWare Kconfig options have been
grouped under the I2C_DESIGNWARE_CORE and this required some
adaptation in many of the kernel configuration files for
different arm and mips boards.

Follows the list of the rest of the changes grouped by type of
change.

Cleanups
--------
The Qualcomm Geni platform improves the exit path in the runtime
resume function.

The Intel LJCA driver loses "target_addr" parameter in
ljca_i2c_stop() because it was unused.

The MediaTek controller intializes the restart_flag in the
transfer function using the ternary conditional operator ("? :")
instead of initializing it in different parts.

Constified a few global data structures in the virtio driver.

The Renesas driver simplifies the bus speed handling in the init
function making it more readable.

Improved an if/else statement in probe function of the Renesas
R-Car driver.

The iMX/MXC driver switches to using the RUNTIME_PM_OPS() instead
of SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS().

Still in the iMX/MXC driver a comma ',' has been replaced by a
semicolon ';', while in different drivers the ',' has been
removed from the '{ }' delimiters.

Finally three devm_clk_get_enabled() have been used to simplify
the devm_clk_get/clk_prepare_enable tuple in the Renesas EMEV2,
Ingenic and MPC drivers.

Refactors
---------
The Nuvoton fixes a potential out of boundary array access. This
is not a bug fix because the issue could never occur due to
hardware not having the properties listed in the array. The
change makes the driver more future proof and, at the same time,
silences code analyzers.

Improvements
------------
The Renesas I2C (riic) driver undergoes several patches improving
the runtime power management handling.

The Intel i801 driver uses a more descriptive adapter's name to
show the presence of the IDF feature.

In the Intel Denverton (ismt) adapter the pending transactions
are killed when irq's can't complete their handling, triggering a
timeout. This could have been considered as a bug fix, but
because, standing to Vasily, it's very sporadic, I preferred
considering the patch rather as an improvement.

New Feature
-----------
The Renesas I2C (riic) driver now supports the fast mode plus.

New support
-----------
Added support for:

- Renesas R9A08G045
- Rockchip RK3576
- KEBA I2C
- Theobroma Systems Mule Multiplexer.

The Keba comes with a new driver, i2c-keba.c.
The Mule is an i2c multiplexer and it also comes with a new
driver, mux/i2c-mux-mule.c.

Core patch
----------
This pull request includes also a patch in the I2C framework, in
i2c-core-base.c where the runtime PM functions have been replaced
in order to allow to be accessed during the device add.

Devicetree
----------
Some cleanups in the devicetree, as well. nVidia and Qualcomm
bindings improve their "if:then:" blocks. While the aspeed
binding loses the "multi-master" property because it was
redundant.

The i2c-sprd binding has been converted to YAML.

future proof approach to initialize all fields of a struct was used in
perf-tools-next, the one that is going into v6.11 is enough for the
segfault it addressed (using an uninitialized test_pmu.alias field).

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-09-20-02-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:

- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.

- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.

- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.

- "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0

which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".

- "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

- "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
unneeded.

- "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

- "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
even from a userspace-only harness.

- "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
performance.

- "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

- "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
resulting in the removal of follow_page().

- "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

- "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

- "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
yet.

- "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
tree library code.

- "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

- "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
deprecated.

- "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
allocation.

- "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
code.

- "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

- "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

- "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

- "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

- "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

- "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

- "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
accessors/mutators can be removed.

- "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

- "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
an unrelated vma tree walk.

- "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of

# 95599ef6 06-Sep-2024 Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com>

mm/codetag: fix pgalloc_tag_split()

The current assumption is that a large folio can only be split into
order-0 folios. That is not the case for hugeTLB demotion, nor for THP
split: see commit c010

mm/codetag: fix pgalloc_tag_split()

The current assumption is that a large folio can only be split into
order-0 folios. That is not the case for hugeTLB demotion, nor for THP
split: see commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower
order pages").

When a large folio is split into ones of a lower non-zero order, only the
new head pages should be tagged. Tagging tail pages can cause imbalanced
"calls" counters, since only head pages are untagged by pgalloc_tag_sub()
and the "calls" counts on tail pages are leaked, e.g.,

# echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
# echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
# time echo 700 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
# echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
# grep alloc_gigantic_folio /proc/allocinfo

Before this patch:
0 549427200 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio

real 0m2.057s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m2.051s

After this patch:
0 0 mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio

real 0m1.711s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m1.704s

Not tagging tail pages also improves the splitting time, e.g., by about
15% when demoting 1GB hugeTLB folios to 2MB ones, as shown above.
