Hi
I also tested the addional cases on arm64
1, 4k page size + devdax + --map=mem
2, 64k page size + devdax + --map=mem
3, 4k page size + devdax + --map=dev
4, 64k page size + devdax + --map=dev
case 4 is important to verify Anshuman's this series.
Host kernel: 5.7-rc3
guest kernel: 5.7-rc5 with this series
ndctl: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/tree/c7767834871
On the guest:
1. ./ndctl/.libs/ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --map=dev -s 1g -f -v -a 64K
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id
The 1g block was added
2. echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/online
modprobe -r dax_pmem
The 1g block was removed
Some minor fix should be applied which is not relevant to this
series itself. e.g numa id

This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages() and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based alocation requests. This series applies on 5.8-rc1. Pending Question: altmap_alloc_block_buf() does not have any other remaining users in the tree after this change. Should it be converted into a static function and it's declaration be dropped from the header (include/linux/mm.h). Avoided doing so because I was not sure if there are any off-tree users or not. Changes in V3: - Dropped comment from free_hotplug_page_range() per Robin - Modified comment in unmap_hotplug_range() per Robin - Enabled altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() per Robin Changes in V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/4/475) - Rebased on latest hot-remove series (v14) adding P4D page table support Changes in V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/23/12) - Added an WARN_ON() in unmap_hotplug_range() when altmap is provided without the page table backing memory being freed Changes in RFC V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/21/11) - Changed the commit message on 1/2 patch per Will - Changed the commit message on 2/2 patch as well - Rebased on arm64 memory hot remove series (v10) RFC V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/28/32) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Cc: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Paul Walmsley <paul.walmsley@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Kirill A.
