[PATCH v2 0/5] mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK

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

 



Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64,
don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most prominently,
kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such driver-managed
memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example, having kexec images
located on memory not part of the firmware-provided memory map.

Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is especially
relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit 7b7b27214bba
("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()").

Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code
when applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on
arm64, making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64.

v1 -> v2:
- "memblock: improve MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG documentation"
-- Added
- "memblock: add MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED to mimic
   IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED"
-- Improve documentation of MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED
- Refine patch descriptions
