test_pages_in_a_zone() is just another nasty PFN walker that can easily stumble over ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges falling into the same memory block as ordinary system RAM: the memmap of parts of these ranges might possibly be uninitialized. In fact, we observed (on an older kernel) with UBSAN: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ./include/linux/mm.h:1133:50 index 7 is out of range for type 'zone [5]' CPU: 121 PID: 35603 Comm: read_all Kdump: loaded Tainted: [...] Hardware name: Dell Inc.

While we could try inserting pfn_to_online_page() calls, it will just make memory offlining slower, because we use test_pages_in_a_zone() to make sure we're offlining pages that all belong to the same zone. Let's just get rid of this PFN walker and determine the single zone of a memory block -- if any -- for early memory blocks during boot. For memory onlining, we know the single zone already. Let's avoid any additional memmap scanning and just rely on the zone information available during boot. For memory hot(un)plug, we only really care about memory blocks that: * span a single zone (and, thereby, a single node) * are completely System RAM (IOW, no holes, no ZONE_DEVICE) If one of these conditions is not met, we reject memory offlining. Hotplugged memory blocks (starting out offline), always meet both conditions. There are three scenarios to handle: (1) Memory hot(un)plug A memory block with zone == NULL cannot be offlined, corresponding to our previous test_pages_in_a_zone() check. After successful memory onlining/offlining, we simply set the zone accordingly. * Memory onlining: set the zone we just used for onlining * Memory offlining: set zone = NULL So a hotplugged memory block starts with zone = NULL. Once memory onlining is done, we set the proper zone. (2) Boot memory with !CONFIG_NUMA We know that there is just a single pgdat, so we simply scan all zones of that pgdat for an intersection with our memory block PFN range when adding the memory block. If more than one zone intersects (e.g., DMA and DMA32 on x86 for the first memory block) we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do. (3) Boot memory with CONFIG_NUMA At the point in time we create the memory block devices during boot, we don't know yet which nodes *actually* span a memory block. While we could scan all zones of all nodes for intersections, overlapping nodes complicate the situation and scanning all nodes is possibly expensive. But that problem has already been solved by the code that sets the node of a memory block and creates the link in the sysfs -- do_register_memory_block_under_node(). So, we hook into the code that sets the node id for a memory block. If we already have a different node id set for the memory block, we know that multiple nodes *actually* have PFNs falling into our memory block: we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do. If there is no node id set, we do the same as (2) for the given node. Note that the call order in driver_init() is: -> memory_dev_init(): create memory block devices -> node_dev_init(): link memory block devices to the node and set the node id So in summary, we detect if there is a single zone responsible for this memory block and we consequently store the zone in that case in the memory block, updating it during memory onlining/offlining.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
