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:
# cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM
200000000-303ffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
304000000-43fffffff : System RAM
440000000-23ffffffff : Persistent Memory
2400000000-43bfffffff : Persistent Memory
2400000000-43bfffffff : namespace2.0
WARNING: CPU: 38 PID: 928 at arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:850 add_pages+0x5c/0x60
[..]
RIP: 0010:add_pages+0x5c/0x60
[..]
Call Trace:
devm_memremap_pages+0x460/0x6e0
pmem_attach_disk+0x29e/0x680 [nd_pmem]
? nd_dax_probe+0xfc/0x120 [libnvdimm]
nvdimm_bus_probe+0x66/0x160 [libnvdimm]
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.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM' before
arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.
