This reverts commit 115d9d77bb0f9152c60b6e8646369fa7f6167593.

The pages being freed by memblock_free_late() have already been
initialized, but if they are in the deferred init range,
__free_one_page() might access nearby uninitialized pages when trying to
coalesce buddies. This can, for example, trigger this BUG:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe964c02580c8
  RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x3f/0x70
   &lt;TASK&gt;

   start_kernel+0x678/0x714
   secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0xd2/0xdb
   &lt;/TASK&gt;

A proper fix will be more involved so revert this change for the time
being.

<title>mm: Always release pages to the buddy allocator in memblock_free_late().</title>

<id>urn:sha1:115d9d77bb0f9152c60b6e8646369fa7f6167593</id>
<content type='text'>
If CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, memblock_free_pages()
only releases pages to the buddy allocator if they are not in the
deferred range. This is correct for free pages (as defined by
for_each_free_mem_pfn_range_in_zone()) because free pages in the
deferred range will be initialized and released as part of the deferred
init process. memblock_free_pages() is called by memblock_free_late(),
which is used to free reserved ranges after memblock_free_all() has
run. All pages in reserved ranges have been initialized at that point,
and accordingly, those pages are not touched by the deferred init
process. This means that currently, if the pages that
memblock_free_late() intends to release are in the deferred range, they
will never be released to the buddy allocator. They will forever be
reserved.

In addition, memblock_free_pages() calls kmsan_memblock_free_pages(),
which is also correct for free pages but is not correct for reserved
pages. KMSAN metadata for reserved pages is initialized by
kmsan_init_shadow(), which runs shortly before memblock_free_all().

For both of these reasons, memblock_free_pages() should only be called
for free pages, and memblock_free_late() should call __free_pages_core()
directly instead.

One case where this issue can occur in the wild is EFI boot on
x86_64. The x86 EFI code reserves all EFI boot services memory ranges
via memblock_reserve() and frees them later via memblock_free_late()
(efi_reserve_boot_services() and efi_free_boot_services(),
respectively). If any of those ranges happens to fall within the
deferred init range, the pages will not be released and that memory will
be unavailable.

For example, on an Amazon EC2 t3.micro VM (1 GB) booting via EFI:

v6.2-rc2:
  # grep -E 'Node|spanned|present|managed' /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 0, zone      DMA
          spanned  4095
          present  3999
          managed  3840
  Node 0, zone    DMA32
          spanned  246652
          present  245868
          managed  178867

v6.2-rc2 + patch:
  # grep -E 'Node|spanned|present|managed' /proc/zoneinfo
  Node 0, zone      DMA
          spanned  4095
          present  3999
          managed  3840
  Node 0, zone    DMA32
          spanned  246652
          present  245868
          managed  222816   # +43,949 pages

Commit cf4694be2b2cf ("tools: Add atomic_test_and_set_bit()") changed
tools/arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h to include &lt;asm/asm.h&gt;, which causes
'make -C tools/testing/memblock' to fail with:

<id>urn:sha1:62bdc99008b372a6c5f81e6d968f3b077a1e3667</id>
<content type='text'>
Add tests for memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() where the simulated physical
memory is set up with multiple NUMA nodes. Additionally, all but one of
these tests set nid != NUMA_NO_NODE. All tests are run for both top-down
and bottom-up allocation directions.

The tested scenarios are:

Range unrestricted:
- region cannot be allocated:
      + there are no previously reserved regions, but requested node is
        too small
      + the requested node is fully reserved
      + the requested node is partially reserved and does not have
        enough space
      + none of the nodes have enough memory to allocate the region

Range restricted:
- region can be allocated in the specific node requested without
  dropping min_addr:
      + the range fully overlaps with the node, and there are adjacent
        reserved regions
- region cannot be allocated:
      + range partially overlaps with two different nodes, where the
        second node is the requested node
      + range overlaps with multiple nodes along node boundaries, and
        the requested node starts after max_addr
      + nid is set to NUMA_NO_NODE and the total range can fit the
        region, but the range is split between two nodes and everything
        else is reserved

<content type='text'>
Add TEST_F_EXACT flag, which specifies that tests should run
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw(). Introduce range tests for
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() by using the TEST_F_EXACT flag to run the
range tests in alloc_nid_api.c, since memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() and
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() behave the same way when nid = NUMA_NO_NODE.

Rename tests and other functions in alloc_nid_api.c by removing "_try".
Since the test names will be displayed in verbose output, they need to
be general enough to refer to any of the memblock functions that the
tests may run.

<content type='text'>
Reserve 129th region in the memblock, and this will trigger the
memblock_double_array() function, this needs valid memory regions. So
using dummy_physical_memory_init() to allocate a valid memory region.
At the same time, reserve 128 faked memory region, and make sure these
reserved region not intersect with the valid memory region. So
memblock_double_array() will choose the valid memory region, and it will
success.

Also need to restore the reserved.regions after memblock_double_array(),
to make sure the subsequent tests can run as normal.
