The patch titled Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: refactor initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-page_allocc-refactor-initialization-of-struct-page-for-holes-in-memory-layout.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Rapoport rppt@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: refactor initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout
There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory. This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.
Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields of this page are set to default values and it is marked as Reserved.
init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.
Before commit 73a6e474cb37 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") the holes inside a zone were re-initialized during memmap_init() and got their zone/node links right. However, after that commit nothing updates the struct pages representing such holes.
On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for instance in a configuration below:
# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem 7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type 7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM
unset zone link in struct page will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);
in set_pfnblock_flags_mask() when called with a struct page from a range other than E820_TYPE_RAM because there are pages in the range of ZONE_DMA32 but the unset zone link in struct page makes them appear as a part of ZONE_DMA.
Interleave initialization of the unavailable pages with the normal initialization of memory map, so that zone and node information will be properly set on struct pages that are not backed by the actual memory.
With this change the pages for holes inside a zone will get proper zone/node links and the pages that are not spanned by any node will get links to the adjacent zone/node. The holes between nodes will be prepended to the zone/node above the hole and the trailing pages in the last section that will be appended to the zone/node below.
