Subject: [PATCH 3/5] mm/memory_hotplug: Check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM in release_mem_region_adjustable
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2018 17:30:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181015153034.32203-4-osalvador@techadventures.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181015153034.32203-1-osalvador@techadventures.net>
From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de>
This is a preparation for the next patch.
Currently, we only call release_mem_region_adjustable() in __remove_pages
if the zone is not ZONE_DEVICE, because resources that belong to
HMM/devm are being released by themselves with devm_release_mem_region.
Since we do not want to touch any zone/page stuff during the removing
of the memory (but during the offlining), we do not want to check for
the zone here.
So we need another way to tell release_mem_region_adjustable() to not
realease the resource in case it belongs to HMM/devm.
HMM/devm acquires/releases a resource through
devm_request_mem_region/devm_release_mem_region.
These resources have the flag IORESOURCE_MEM, while resources acquired by
hot-add memory path (register_memory_resource()) contain
IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM.
So, we can check for this flag in release_mem_region_adjustable, and if
the resource does not contain such flag, we know that we are dealing with
a HMM/devm resource, so we can back off.
