Re: [PATCH V3 (RESEND) 0/3] arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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

Cheers,

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)
