mm: hugetlb: alloc the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page
When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior in some corner cases as listed below: 1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages). User needs to try again later. 2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application. Try again later when freeing a huge page next time. 3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via offline_pages(). This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations. 4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly affects CMA and virtio-mem. Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully. CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA region. Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer) __GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under heavy hugetlb freeing.
