memory map, we can move sparse_buffer_init()/sparse_buffer_fini() to the
common place.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "sparse_init rewrite", v6.

In sparse_init() we allocate two large buffers to temporary hold usemap
and memmap for the whole machine.  However, we can avoid doing that if
we changed sparse_init() to operated on per-node bases instead of doing
it on the whole machine beforehand.

As shown by Baoquan
  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180628062857.29658-1-bhe@redhat.com

The buffers are large enough to cause machine stop to boot on small
memory systems.

Another benefit of these changes is that they also obsolete
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER.

This patch (of 5):

When struct pages are allocated for sparse-vmemmap VA layout, we first try
to allocate one large buffer, and than if that fails allocate struct pages
for each section as we go.

The code that allocates buffer is uses global variables and is spread
across several call sites.

Cleanup the code by introducing three functions to handle the global
buffer:

sparse_buffer_init()	initialize the buffer
sparse_buffer_fini()	free the remaining part of the buffer
sparse_buffer_alloc()	alloc from the buffer, and if buffer is empty
return NULL

Define these functions in sparse.c instead of sparse-vmemmap.c because
later we will use them for non-vmemmap sparse allocations as well.

<title>mm/sparse: optimize memmap allocation during sparse_init()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=c98aff649349d9147915a19d378c9c3c1bd85de0'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c98aff649349d9147915a19d378c9c3c1bd85de0</id>
<content type='text'>
In sparse_init(), two temporary pointer arrays, usemap_map and map_map
are allocated with the size of NR_MEM_SECTIONS.  They are used to store
each memory section's usemap and mem map if marked as present.  With the
help of these two arrays, continuous memory chunk is allocated for
usemap and memmap for memory sections on one node.  This avoids too many
memory fragmentations.  Like below diagram, '1' indicates the present
memory section, '0' means absent one.  The number 'n' could be much
smaller than NR_MEM_SECTIONS on most of systems.

  |1|1|1|1|0|0|0|0|1|1|0|0|...|1|0||1|0|...|1||0|1|...|0|
  -------------------------------------------------------
   0 1 2 3         4 5         i   i+1     n-1   n

If we fail to populate the page tables to map one section's memmap, its
-&gt;section_mem_map will be cleared finally to indicate that it's not
present.  After use, these two arrays will be released at the end of
sparse_init().

In 4-level paging mode, each array costs 4M which can be ignorable.
While in 5-level paging, they costs 256M each, 512M altogether.  Kdump
kernel Usually only reserves very few memory, e.g 256M.  So, even thouth
they are temporarily allocated, still not acceptable.

In fact, there's no need to allocate them with the size of
NR_MEM_SECTIONS.  Since the -&gt;section_mem_map clearing has been deferred
to the last, the number of present memory sections are kept the same
during sparse_init() until we finally clear out the memory section's
-&gt;section_mem_map if its usemap or memmap is not correctly handled.
Thus in the middle whenever for_each_present_section_nr() loop is taken,
the i-th present memory section is always the same one.

Here only allocate usemap_map and map_map with the size of
'nr_present_sections'.  For the i-th present memory section, install its
usemap and memmap to usemap_map[i] and mam_map[i] during allocation.
Then in the last for_each_present_section_nr() loop which clears the
failed memory section's -&gt;section_mem_map, fetch usemap and memmap from
usemap_map[] and map_map[] array and set them into mem_section[]
accordingly.

populate the relevant page tables to map memory section one by one.  If
fail to populate for a certain mem section, print warning and its
-&gt;section_mem_map will be cleared to cancel the marking of being
present.  Like this, the number of mem sections marked as present could
become less during sparse_init() execution.

Here just defer the ms-&gt;section_mem_map clearing if failed to populate
its page tables until the last for_each_present_section_nr() loop.  This
is in preparation for later optimizing the mem map allocation.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unused local `ms', per Oscar]

There is no clear separation between the two, so merge them.

No functional changes, just untangling the call chain and document
why the altmap is passed around the hotplug code.
