Whether crc32_be needs a lookup table is chosen based on CRC_LE_BITS. Obviously, the _be function should be governed by the _BE_ define. This probably never pops up as it's hard to come up with a configuration where CRC_BE_BITS isn't the same as CRC_LE_BITS and as nobody is using bitwise CRC anyway.

Add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head of the list which is useful in cases like: list_for_each_entry(pos, &head, member) { if (cond) break; } if (list_entry_is_head(pos, &head, member)) return -ERRNO; that allows to avoid additional variable to be added to track if loop has not been stopped in the middle. While here, convert list_for_each_entry*() family of macros to use a new one.

The documentation for these functions indicates that callers don't need to hold a lock while calling them, but that documentation is only in one place under "IDA Usage". Let's state the same information on each IDA function so that it's clear what the calling context requires. Furthermore, let's document ida_simple_get() with the same information so that callers know how this API works.

If we fail to decompress in zram it's a pretty serious problem. We were entrusted to be able to decompress the old data but we failed. Either we've got some crazy bug in the compression code or we've got memory corruption. At the moment, when this happens the log looks like this: ERR kernel: [ 1833.099861] zram: Decompression failed! err=-22, page=336112 ERR kernel: [ 1833.099881] zram: Decompression failed! err=-22, page=336112 ALERT kernel: [ 1833.099886] Read-error on swap-device (253:0:2688896) It is true that we have an "ALERT" level log in there, but (at least to me) it feels like even this isn't enough to impart the seriousness of this error. Let's convert to a WARN_ON. Note that WARN_ON is automatically "unlikely" so we can simply replace the old annotation with the new one.

__free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory to the buddy during system boot and when onlining memory in generic_online_page(). generic_online_page() is used in two cases: 1. Direct memory onlining in online_pages(). 2. Deferred memory onlining in memory-ballooning-like mechanisms (HyperV balloon and virtio-mem), when parts of a section are kept fake-offline to be fake-onlined later on. In 1, we already place pages to the tail of the freelist. Pages will be freed to MIGRATE_ISOLATE lists first and moved to the tail of the freelists via undo_isolate_page_range(). In 2, we currently don't implement a proper rule. In case of virtio-mem, where we currently always online MAX_ORDER - 1 pages, the pages will be placed to the HEAD of the freelist - undesireable. While the hyper-v balloon calls generic_online_page() with single pages, usually it will call it on successive single pages in a larger block. The pages are fresh, so place them to the tail of the freelist and avoid the PCP. In __free_pages_core(), remove the now superflouos call to set_page_refcounted() and add a comment regarding page initialization and the refcount. Note: In 2. we currently don't shuffle. If ever relevant (page shuffling is usually of limited use in virtualized environments), we might want to shuffle after a sequence of generic_online_page() calls in the relevant callers.

Whenever we move pages between freelists via move_to_free_list()/ move_freepages_block(), we don't actually touch the pages: 1. Page isolation doesn't actually touch the pages, it simply isolates pageblocks and moves all free pages to the MIGRATE_ISOLATE freelist. When undoing isolation, we move the pages back to the target list. 2. Page stealing (steal_suitable_fallback()) moves free pages directly between lists without touching them. 3. reserve_highatomic_pageblock()/unreserve_highatomic_pageblock() moves free pages directly between freelists without touching them. We already place pages to the tail of the freelists when undoing isolation via __putback_isolated_page(), let's do it in any case (e.g., if order <= pageblock_order) and document the behavior. To simplify, let's move the pages to the tail for all move_to_free_list()/move_freepages_block() users. In 2., the target list is empty, so there should be no change. In 3., we might observe a change, however, highatomic is more concerned about allocations succeeding than cache hotness - if we ever realize this change degrades a workload, we can special-case this instance and add a proper comment. This change results in all pages getting onlined via online_pages() to be placed to the tail of the freelist.

__putback_isolated_page() already documents that pages will be placed to the tail of the freelist - this is, however, not the case for "order >= MAX_ORDER - 2" (see buddy_merge_likely()) - which should be the case for all existing users. This change affects two users: - free page reporting - page isolation, when undoing the isolation (including memory onlining). This behavior is desirable for pages that haven't really been touched lately, so exactly the two users that don't actually read/write page content, but rather move untouched pages. The new behavior is especially desirable for memory onlining, where we allow allocation of newly onlined pages via undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(). Right now, we always place them to the head of the freelist, resulting in undesireable behavior: Assume we add individual memory chunks via add_memory() and online them right away to the NORMAL zone. We create a dependency chain of unmovable allocations e.g., via the memmap. The memmap of the next chunk will be placed onto previous chunks - if the last block cannot get offlined+removed, all dependent ones cannot get offlined+removed. While this can already be observed with individual DIMMs, it's more of an issue for virtio-mem (and I suspect also ppc DLPAR). Document that this should only be used for optimizations, and no code should rely on this behavior for correction (if the order of the freelists ever changes). We won't care about page shuffling: memory onlining already properly shuffles after onlining. free page reporting doesn't care about physically contiguous ranges, and there are already cases where page isolation will simply move (physically close) free pages to (currently) the head of the freelists via move_freepages_block() instead of shuffling. If this becomes ever relevant, we should shuffle the whole zone when undoing isolation of larger ranges, and after free_contig_range().
