Initially there were crashes during compaction that Qian Cai reported bac= k in April [1]. It seemed back then that the problem was fixed, but a few weeks ago Andrea Arcangeli hit the same bug [2] and there was an addition= al discussion at [3]. I didn't appreciate variety of ways BIOSes can report memory in the first megabyte, so previous versions of this set caused all kinds of troubles. The last version that implicitly extended node/zone to cover the complete section might also have unexpected side effects, so this time I'm trying = to move in forward in baby steps. This is mostly a return to the fist version that simply merges init_unavailable_pages() into memmap_init() so that the only effective change would be more sensible zone/node links in unavailable struct pages= . For now, I've dropped the patch that tried to make ZONE_DMA to span pfn 0 because it didn't cause any issues for really long time and there are way to many hidden mines around this. I have an ugly workaround for "pfn 0" issue that IMHO is the safest way t= o deal with it until it could be gradually fixed properly: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/linux.git/commit/?h=3D= meminit/pfn0&id=3D90272f37151c6e1bc2610997310c51f4e984cf2f v7: * add handling of section end that span beyond the populated zones v6: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210222105728.28636-1-rppt@kernel.org * only interleave initialization of unavailable pages in memmap_init(), s= o that it is essentially includes init_unavailable_pages(). v5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210208110820.6269-1-rppt@kernel.org * extend node/zone spans to cover complete sections, this allows to inter= leave the initialization of unavailable pages with "normal" memory map init. * drop modifications to x86 early setup v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210130221035.4169-1-rppt@kernel.org/ * make sure pages in the range 0 - start_pfn_of_lowest_zone are initializ= ed even if an architecture hides them from the generic mm * finally make pfn 0 on x86 to be a part of memory visible to the generic mm as reserved memory. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210111194017.22696-1-rppt@kernel.org * use architectural zone constraints to set zone links for struct pages corresponding to the holes * drop implicit update of memblock.memory * add a patch that sets pfn 0 to E820_TYPE_RAM on x86 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201209214304.6812-1-rppt@kernel.org/): * added patch that adds all regions in memblock.reserved that do not overlap with memblock.memory to memblock.memory in the beginning of free_area_init() [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/8C537EB7-85EE-4DCF-943E-3CC0ED0DF56D@lca= .pw [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201121194506.13464-1-aarcange@redhat.c= om [3] https://lore.kernel.org/mm-commits/20201206005401.qKuAVgOXr%akpm@linu= x-foundation.org Mike Rapoport (1): mm/page_alloc.c: refactor initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout mm/page_alloc.c | 147 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------- 1 file changed, 64 insertions(+), 83 deletions(-) --=20 2.28.0
