However, if you expose PMEM via dax/kmem as System RAM to the system (-> add_memory_driver_managed()), then PMEM (managed via ZONE_NOMRAL or ZONE_MOVABLE) would work with pfn_to_online_page() -- as the system thinks it's "ordinary system RAM" and the memory is managed by the buddy. > > So if pfn_valid() is not equivalent to system RAM, we have a potential > issue with MTE.
