mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Patch series "mm: Fix for movable_node boot option", v3.

This patch series contains a fix for the movable_node boot option issue
which was introduced by commit 124049d ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM
regions into memblock.reserved").

The commit breaks the option because it changed the memory gap range to
reserved memblock.  So, the node is marked as Normal zone even if the SRAT
has Hot pluggable affinity.

First and second patch fix the original issue which the commit tried to
fix, then revert the commit.

This patch (of 3):

There is a kernel panic that is triggered when reading /proc/kpageflags on
the kernel booted with kernel parameter 'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]':

According to kernel bisection, this problem became visible due to commit
f7f9910 which changes how struct pages are initialized.

Memblock layout affects the pfn ranges covered by node/zone.  Consider
that we have a VM with 2 NUMA nodes and each node has 4GB memory, and the
default (no memmap= given) memblock layout is like below:

  MEMBLOCK configuration:
   memory size = 0x00000001fff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
   memory.cnt  = 0x4
   memory[0x0]     [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x1]     [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x2]     [0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff], 0x0000000040000000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x3]     [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
   ...

If you give memmap=1G!4G (so it just covers memory[0x2]),
the range [0x100000000-0x13fffffff] is gone:

  MEMBLOCK configuration:
   memory size = 0x00000001bff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
   memory.cnt  = 0x3
   memory[0x0]     [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x1]     [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x2]     [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
   ...

This causes shrinking node 0's pfn range because it is calculated by the
address range of memblock.memory.  So some of struct pages in the gap
range are left uninitialized.

We have a function zero_resv_unavail() which does zeroing the struct pages
outside memblock.memory, but currently it covers only the reserved
unavailable range (i.e.  memblock.memory && !memblock.reserved).  This
patch extends it to cover all unavailable range, which fixes the reported
issue.
