Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2021 12:09:21 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210420090925.7457-1-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>
Hi,
These patches aim to remove CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE and essentially hardwire
pfn_valid_within() to 1.
The idea is to mark NOMAP pages as reserved in the memory map and restore
the intended semantics of pfn_valid() to designate availability of struct
page for a pfn.
With this the core mm will be able to cope with the fact that it cannot use
NOMAP pages and the holes created by NOMAP ranges within MAX_ORDER blocks
will be treated correctly even without the need for pfn_valid_within.
The patches are only boot tested on qemu-system-aarch64 so I'd really
appreciate memory stress tests on real hardware.
If this actually works we'll be one step closer to drop custom pfn_valid()
on arm64 altogether.
Changes since RFC
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210407172607.8812-1-rppt@kernel.org
* Add comment about the semantics of pfn_valid() as Anshuman suggested
* Extend comments about MEMBLOCK_NOMAP, per Anshuman
* Use pfn_is_map_memory() name for the exported wrapper for
memblock_is_map_memory(). It is still local to arch/arm64 in the end
because of header dependency issues.
Mike Rapoport (4):
include/linux/mmzone.h: add documentation for pfn_valid()
memblock: update initialization of reserved pages
arm64: decouple check whether pfn is in linear map from pfn_valid()
arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()
