MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS greater than ARM64_VA_BITS is causing memory

In the failing case, ARM64_VA_BITS=39 and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=48.
HMM_DMIRROR test selects phys memory range from end based on
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS and gets mapped into VA space linearly.
As VA space is 39-bit and phys space is 48-bit, this has caused
incorrect mapping and leads to memory access fault.
Limiting the MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to ARM64_VA_BITS fixes the issue and is
the right thing instead of hard coding it as 48-bit always.

What's the deal with this memset? AFAICS we're in __add_pages() from
hmm_devmem_pages_create() calling add_pages() for private memory which it
does not expect to be in the linear map anyway :/
FWIW I did keep looking, and I now see that, thanks to confusing inlining, this is probably the clearing of the vmemmap section in sparse_add_one_section(), rather than any touching of the new memory itself. The fact that the commit message doesn't even try to explain the real problem (seemingly that the index has overflowed the vmemmap area and wrapped past the top of the address space) only emphasises my concern that this is a bit of a hack, though.
There appears to be a more fundamental problem being papered over here.
Following some discussion with Suzuki and Catalin, there does seem to be a more general issue of the interaction between vmemmap and memory hotplug. Of course, arm64 doesn't support memory hotplug in mainline (it's something I've started looking at), nor other HMM dependencies, so there's already more going on here than meets the eye.
Yes i think the dummy driver is use badly, if you want to test CDM memory
with dummy driver you need to steal regular memory to act as CDM memory.
You can take a look at following 2 patches:

Note that this is only if your device have its own memory that is not
reported as regular ram to kernel resource and if that memory is
accessible by CPU in cache coherent way.
For tegra platform i don't think you have any such memory. Thus you
do not need to register any memory to use HMM. But we can talk about
your platform in private mail under NDA if it is not the case.
Note that no matter what i still think it make sense to properly define
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS like on x86 or powerpc.
Its a bit tricky on arm64. Essentially the VMEMMAP can cover a region
of (1 << (VA_BITS - 1)), the size of the linear map. However, it does
allow the physical memory to be above VA_BITS. e.g, one can boot a
39bit VA kernel on a system where the RAM is at 40bits. We adjust the
"vmemmap" to make sure that it points to the first "valid" pfn (based
on the start address of the memory).
If we reduce the MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to VA_BITS, that could break the kernel
booting on platforms where the memory is above VA_BITS. I am wondering
if we should do an additional check, pfn_valid() before we go ahead
and assume that the PFN can be mapped in the cases like above.
__add_pages() - via __add_section() - is already checking pfn_valid() fairly early on in order to avoid overlapping sections, so it's not entirely clear where an additional check would help. Also, on arm64 the pfn_valid() implementation doesn't know about vmemmap since it just checks physical addresses against memblocks. In fact, this ends up being actively hostile to memory hotplug (via MEMORY_PROBE at least), because it gives us a false positive in the aforementioned check...
Right. May be pfn_valid() is not the right place (which now only checks if the address
is in one of the RAM memory blocks on arm64) and as you rightly said is used by the
__add_section() to check for conflicts. The gist of the problem is that we don't
seem to check if a given PFN could be directly mapped in the linear address space,
given we have a limited linear space. I don't know what the best place to do that.
Btw, regarding the MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, I could see that, at least on s390, the
end of memory could be less than the defined MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. So, may be
we could hit a similar problem there.
