Subject: mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug
The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity. For example the following backtrace
is emitted when attempting arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges
that intersect 'System RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a
given section:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 558 at kernel/memremap.c:300 devm_memremap_pages+0x3b5/0x4c0
devm_memremap_pages attempted on mixed region [mem 0x200000000-0x2fbffffff flags 0x200]
[..]
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0x86/0xc3
__warn+0xcb/0xf0
warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80
devm_memremap_pages+0x3b5/0x4c0
__wrap_devm_memremap_pages+0x58/0x70 [nfit_test_iomap]
pmem_attach_disk+0x19a/0x440 [nd_pmem]
Recently it was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM
collisions as some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given
section. The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the
libnvdimm section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a
long while. A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many
problems as it solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change
to the namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route
[1], address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
