There were several reports about issues with KHO bootmem sizing.
The bootmem areas are sized from overlapping views of the memory reserved
in memblock, so on NUMA systems memory allocated on a node is accounted
twice and with CONFIG_NUMA=n the lowmem and the global areas are accounted
once again in the area of node 0. Besides, the lowmem and the global areas
are reserved even when they are empty.
The first patch skips empty bootmem areas and the second one makes the
lowmem, per-node and global areas cover separate parts of the reserved
memory.

For a zero-sized allocation memblock returns an address without reserving anything, and that empty area is recorded in kho_bootmem. If there is no memory below ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, allocation of the empty lowmem area fails and KHO gets disabled. Extract a helper that checks for zero size and allocates memory from memblock, and use it to skip empty areas the same way as empty per-node areas are skipped.

So you directly do: kho_bootmem[kho_bootmem_cnt].addr = addr; kho_bootmem[kho_bootmem_cnt].size = size; kho_bootmem_cnt++; You won't have to pass around *idx and you won't need the final kho_bootmem_cnt assignment. You might also want to have a kho_bootmem_max_cnt and do some bounds checking here.

With CONFIG_NUMA=n all memblock regions belong to node 0, so the lowmem and the global areas are accounted in the size of node 0 area and scaled once again. As a result, bootmem is about twice bigger than it should be on NUMA systems and about four times bigger with CONFIG_NUMA=n. On small systems reservation of the bootmem may fail and then KHO gets disabled. Make the areas cover separate parts of the reserved memory: the lowmem area covers allocations below ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, per-node areas cover allocations above it on each node and the global area covers allocations that are not bound to any node. Calculate all sizes before reserving any of the areas. With CONFIG_NUMA=n the global area becomes empty and it is not reserved.

My LLM caught an interesting problems that is worth considering. On arm64, ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT is arm64_dma_phys_limit - 1, and dma_limits_init() sets the default value to PHYS_MASK + 1, and it can also be memblock_end_of_dram() in some cases. So on arm64, it is possible for lowmem to span the entire RAM. Currently, that results in over-allocation of bootmem, and it ends up being 4x what it should be. While obviously problematic, it should still work. With this patch, all memory is in lowmem, and nothing ever goes to per-node bootmem (except for the node that hosts the lowmem area). All this is from reading the code, I haven't tried anything out yet. Not sure how to fix this though. Should we perhaps use min(ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, U32_MAX) for the lowmem limit? Also, a couple nitpicks below. > --- > kernel/liveupdate/kexec_handover.c | 83 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------ > 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/kernel/liveupdate/kexec_handover.c b/kernel/liveupdate/kexec_handover.c > index f268c57413a7e..eaeb895bb7595 100644 > --- a/kernel/liveupdate/kexec_handover.c > +++ b/kernel/liveupdate/kexec_handover.c > @@ -684,6 +684,7 @@ static unsigned int bootmem_scale __initdata = 200; > static phys_addr_t bootmem_size_global __initdata; > static phys_addr_t bootmem_size_pernode __initdata; > static phys_addr_t bootmem_size_lowmem __initdata; > +static phys_addr_t bootmem_size_node[MAX_NUMNODES] __initdata; > > static int __init kho_parse_bootmem_size(char *p) > { > @@ -753,29 +754,48 @@ static int __init kho_parse_bootmem_size(char *p) > } > early_param("kho_bootmem", kho_parse_bootmem_size); > > +static phys_addr_t __init reserved_mem_size(phys_addr_t limit, int nid) > +{ > + return memblock_reserved_kern_size(limit, nid) - > + memblock_reserved_hugetlb_size(limit, nid); > +} > + > +static phys_addr_t __init bootmem_scale_size(phys_addr_t size) > +{ > + return size * bootmem_scale / 100; > +} > + > +/* > + * The lowmem area covers allocations below ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, per-node > + * areas cover allocations above it on each node and the global area covers > + * allocations that are not bound to any node. > + * > + * All sizes must be calculated before any area is reserved, otherwise the > + * areas reserved first will be accounted in the sizes of the others. > + */ > static void __init bootmem_size_update(void) > { > - /* > - * If fixed sizes are not provided via command line, calculate them now. > - * Remove HugeTLB allocations from it because they never get allocated > - * from bootmem. > - */ > + int nid; > + > if (bootmem_scale) { > - phys_addr_t size; > - > - size = memblock_reserved_kern_size(ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, > - NUMA_NO_NODE); > - size -= memblock_reserved_hugetlb_size(ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, > - NUMA_NO_NODE); > - size = size * bootmem_scale / 100; > - bootmem_size_lowmem = size; > - > - size = memblock_reserved_kern_size(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE, > - NUMA_NO_NODE); > - size -= memblock_reserved_hugetlb_size(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE, > - NUMA_NO_NODE); > - size = size * bootmem_scale / 100 - bootmem_size_lowmem; > - bootmem_size_global = size; > + phys_addr_t lowmem, global, size; > + > + lowmem = reserved_mem_size(ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, NUMA_NO_NODE); > + global = reserved_mem_size(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE, NUMA_NO_NODE); > + global -= lowmem; Nit: Please add a short comment above this to explain why you remove lowmem from global. > + > + for_each_node_state(nid, N_MEMORY) { > + size = reserved_mem_size(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE, nid) - > + reserved_mem_size(ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT, nid); > + bootmem_size_node[nid] = bootmem_scale_size(size); > + global -= size; Nit: same here, a comment here would make it easier to understand. > + } > + > + bootmem_size_lowmem = bootmem_scale_size(lowmem); > + bootmem_size_global = bootmem_scale_size(global); > + } else { > + for_each_node_state(nid, N_MEMORY) > + bootmem_size_node[nid] = bootmem_size_pernode; > } > > /* > @@ -784,24 +804,9 @@ static void __init bootmem_size_update(void) > */ > bootmem_size_lowmem = round_up(bootmem_size_lowmem, BOOTMEM_ALIGNMENT_BYTES); > bootmem_size_global = round_up(bootmem_size_global, BOOTMEM_ALIGNMENT_BYTES); > -} > - > -static phys_addr_t __init bootmem_size_node(int nid) > -{ > - phys_addr_t size; > - > - if (bootmem_scale) { > - size = memblock_reserved_kern_size(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE, > - nid); > - /* Do not count HugeTLB pages. */ > - size -= memblock_reserved_hugetlb_size(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE, > - nid); > - size = size * bootmem_scale / 100; > - } else { > - size = bootmem_size_pernode; > - } > - > - return round_up(size, BOOTMEM_ALIGNMENT_BYTES); > + for_each_node_state(nid, N_MEMORY) > + bootmem_size_node[nid] = round_up(bootmem_size_node[nid], > + BOOTMEM_ALIGNMENT_BYTES); > } > > bool kho_bootmem_overlap(phys_addr_t phys, size_t size) > @@ -891,7 +896,7 @@ static void __init kho_reserve_bootmem(void) > * memoryless nodes, as we can not allocate bootmem areas there. > */ > for_each_node_state(nid, N_MEMORY) { > - if (kho_reserve_bootmem_area(&i, bootmem_size_node(nid), > + if (kho_reserve_bootmem_area(&i, bootmem_size_node[nid], > MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE, nid)) { > pr_err("Failed to reserve nid %d bootmem\n", nid); > goto err_free_bootmem_areas; -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
