Subject: mm: consider memblock reservations for deferred memory initialization sizing
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
commit 864b9a393dcb5aed09b8fd31b9bbda0fdda99374 upstream.
We have seen an early OOM killer invocation on ppc64 systems with
crashkernel=4096M:
kthreadd invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x16040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOTRACK), nodemask=7, order=0, oom_score_adj=0
kthreadd cpuset=/ mems_allowed=7
CPU: 0 PID: 2 Comm: kthreadd Not tainted 4.4.68-1.gd7fe927-default #1

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done. update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range. In this particular case we've had
Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)
so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.
Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation. Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address. The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation. This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.
