[PATCH v2 0/4] mm: hugetlb: fix CMA-related issues

[Qi Zheng]

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

Hi all,

This series fixes four CMA-related issues in HugeTLB reservation,
long-term pinning and allocation:

 - Avoid ineffective CMA reservations on 32-bit x86 kernels running on
   CPUs that advertise 1 GiB page support.
 - Allow long-term pins of explicitly CMA-allocated HugeTLB folios,
   which already own their CMA bitmap ranges.
 - Preserve the caller's GFP mask when allocating from CMA.
 - Enforce cpuset restrictions on gigantic surplus allocations while
   preserving memory policy semantics.

Changes in v2:
 - Replace the PF_MEMALLOC_PIN allocation restriction with a GUP exception
   for HugeTLB folios marked HPG_cma. (suggested by Muchun Song)
 - Pass the caller's GFP mask through cma_alloc_frozen_compound() instead
   of skipping CMA when direct reclaim is disallowed.
   (suggested by sashiko)
 - Remove unnecessary revalidation of successfully allocated folios after
   cpuset changes. Retry only failed allocations.
   (pointed by Jose A. Perez de Azpillaga)
 - collect Reviewed-by and Acked-by.
 - Rebase onto next-20261104.

[PATCH v2 1/4] x86: hugetlb: disable default CMA reservations on 32-bit kernel

[Qi Zheng]

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

A 32-bit x86 kernel can run on a 64-bit-capable CPU advertising GBPAGES.
arch_hugetlb_cma_order() checks only this feature and returns a nonzero
order, although gigantic HugeTLB support on x86 requires CONFIG_X86_64.
Specifying hugetlb_cma= can therefore reserve a CMA area that cannot
serve the intended gigantic HugeTLB allocations.

On non-PAE kernels, the folded PUD_SHIFT yields a 4 MiB order, which is
equal to MAX_PAGE_ORDER. With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, this triggers the
VM_WARN_ON(order <= MAX_PAGE_ORDER) check in hugetlb_cma_reserve(),
warning that hugetlb_cma is attempting to reserve a non-gigantic order.

Require CONFIG_X86_64 as well as GBPAGES when selecting the default CMA
order to avoid these ineffective reservations.

[PATCH v2 2/4] mm: gup: allow long-term pins of CMA-allocated HugeTLB folios

[Qi Zheng]

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

Long-term pinning treats explicitly CMA-allocated HugeTLB folios as
unpinnable, causing unnecessary migration or pinning failures.

These folios already own their CMA bitmap ranges, and memory blocks
overlapping CMA areas cannot be offlined. Allow HugeTLB folios with
HPG_cma to be pinned directly, including in ZONE_MOVABLE.

[PATCH v2 3/4] mm: hugetlb: fix GFP mask propagation to CMA

[Qi Zheng]

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

cma_alloc_frozen_compound() uses GFP_KERNEL, allowing direct reclaim
during the first MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allocation attempt even though
the caller clears __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.

Pass the caller's GFP mask through the helper so CMA respects its
reclaim constraints when trying the preferred nodes.

[PATCH v2 4/4] mm: hugetlb: fix cpuset violations in gigantic surplus allocations

[Qi Zheng]

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

CMA and the contiguous allocator trust a supplied nodemask without
checking the current cpuset. Gigantic surplus allocations can therefore
use nodes forbidden to the faulting thread.

For example, moving a non-leader thread to another cgroup v1 cpuset
updates its mems_allowed without rebinding the shared VMA policy:

  CPU0 (cpuset attach)             CPU1 (thread T)
  -------------------             ---------------
  T->mems_allowed = {0}
  /* Skip mpol_rebind_mm()
     for a non-leader. */
                                  /* VMA MPOL_BIND remains {0,1}. */
                                  hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio()
                                    /* node0 fails; node1 succeeds. */

Intersect the allocation mask with the current cpuset, preserving
MPOL_BIND and MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY fallback rules. Retry only failed
allocations when the cpuset changes.

The description of "bitmap ranges" is weird, making me think what's the meaning of
bitmap. Please use more generic description here.

Do we really need __GFP_COMP | __GFP_NOWARN here?
It is my understanding that all allocations coming from hugetlb are
handled with htlb_alloc_mask(), and that should already provide
__GFP_COMP | __GFP_NOWARN.
We might have needed it when cma_alloc_frozen_compound() constructed its
own mask, but not it gets it from the caller, and that should have been
done via htlb_alloc_mask() up the chain.

So, any reason to have it here now?
