This series is based on [2], which should pop up in linux/next soon: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/21/1034 This is the result of a recent discussion with Michal ([1], [2]). Right now we set all pages PG_reserved when initializing hotplugged memmaps. This includes ZONE_DEVICE memory. In case of system memory, PG_reserved is cleared again when onlining the memory, in case of ZONE_DEVICE memory never. In ancient times, we needed PG_reserved, because there was no way to tell whether the memmap was already properly initialized. We now have SECTION_IS_ONLINE for that in the case of !ZONE_DEVICE memory. ZONE_DEVICE memory is already initialized deferred, and there shouldn't be a visible change in that regard. I remember that some time ago, we already talked about stopping to set ZONE_DEVICE pages PG_reserved on the list, but I never saw any patches. Also, I forgot who was part of the discussion :) One of the biggest fear were side effects. I went ahead and audited all users of PageReserved(). The ones that don't need any care (patches) can be found below. I will double check and hope I am not missing something important. I am probably a little bit too careful (but I don't want to break things). In most places (besides KVM and vfio that are nuts), the pfn_to_online_page() check could most probably be avoided by a is_zone_device_page() check. However, I usually get suspicious when I see a pfn_valid() check (especially after I learned that people mmap parts of /dev/mem into user space, including memory without memmaps. Also, people could memmap offline memory blocks this way :/). As long as this does not hurt performance, I think we should rather do it the clean way. I only gave it a quick test with DIMMs on x86-64, but didn't test the ZONE_DEVICE part at all (any tips for a nice QEMU setup?). Compile-tested on x86-64 and PPC. Other users of PageReserved() that should be fine: - mm/page_owner.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() -> Never called for ZONE_DEVICE, (+ pfn_to_online_page(pfn)) - mm/page_owner.c:init_pages_in_zone() -> Never called for ZONE_DEVICE (!populated_zone(zone)) - mm/page_ext.c:free_page_ext() -> Only a BUG_ON(PageReserved(page)), not relevant - mm/page_ext.c:has_unmovable_pages() -> Not releveant for ZONE_DEVICE - mm/page_ext.c:pfn_range_valid_contig() -> pfn_to_online_page() already guards us - mm/mempolicy.c:queue_pages_pte_range() -> vm_normal_page() checks against pte_devmap() - mm/memory-failure.c:hwpoison_user_mappings() -> Not reached via memory_failure() due to pfn_to_online_page() -> Also not reached indirectly via memory_failure_hugetlb() - mm/hugetlb.c:gather_bootmem_prealloc() -> Only a WARN_ON(PageReserved(page)), not relevant - kernel/power/snapshot.c:saveable_highmem_page() -> pfn_to_online_page() already guards us - kernel/power/snapshot.c:saveable_page() -> pfn_to_online_page() already guards us - fs/proc/task_mmu.c:can_gather_numa_stats() -> vm_normal_page() checks against pte_devmap() - fs/proc/task_mmu.c:can_gather_numa_stats_pmd -> vm_normal_page_pmd() checks against pte_devmap() - fs/proc/page.c:stable_page_flags() -> The reserved bit is simply copied, irrelevant - drivers/firmware/memmap.c:release_firmware_map_entry() -> really only a check to detect bootmem.
