Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] mm: Fix pfn_to_online_page() with respect to ZONE_DEVICE
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 01:34:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <161044407603.1482714.16630477578392768273.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)
Changes since v1 [1]:
- Clarify the failing condition in patch 3 (Michal)
- Clarify how subsection collisions manifest in shipping systems
(Michal)
- Use zone_idx() (Michal)
- Move section_taint_zone_device() conditions to
move_pfn_range_to_zone() (Michal)
- Fix pfn_to_online_page() to account for pfn_valid() vs
pfn_section_valid() confusion (David)

Michal reminds that the discussion about how to ensure pfn-walkers do
not get confused by ZONE_DEVICE pages never resolved. A pfn-walker that
uses pfn_to_online_page() may inadvertently translate a pfn as online
and in the page allocator, when it is offline managed by a ZONE_DEVICE
mapping (details in Patch 3: ("mm: Teach pfn_to_online_page() about
ZONE_DEVICE section collisions")).
The 2 proposals under consideration are teach pfn_to_online_page() to be
precise in the presence of mixed-zone sections, or teach the memory-add
code to drop the System RAM associated with ZONE_DEVICE collisions. In
order to not regress memory capacity by a few 10s to 100s of MiB the
approach taken in this set is to add precision to pfn_to_online_page().
In the course of validating pfn_to_online_page() a couple other fixes
fell out:
1/ soft_offline_page() fails to drop the reference taken in the
madvise(..., MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) case.
2/ The libnvdimm sysfs attribute visibility code was failing to publish
the resource base for memmap=ss!nn defined namespaces. This is needed
for the regression test for soft_offline_page().
