From ba72b4c8cf60e452cf6f0258ed9ee697957b7dfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 15:58:26 -0700 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.
