Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] mm/cma: accept memory of CMA areas reserved with memblock_reserve()
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 15:41:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37a625b6-45b5-4bfc-878b-ffc16784b0f1@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-cma-multi-v1-0-2cbced8b5cb7@kernel.org>
> Pages of allocated CMA areas are released to the buddy allocator with
> __free_pages(), which does not check for unaccepted memory.
>
> This usually works because memblock accepts the memory it allocates.
>
> However, multi-range CMA areas, used by hugetlb_cma, and fixed CMA areas
> requested with cma=<size>@<base> are reserved with memblock_reserve() and
> their memory is never accepted.
>
> On TDX and SEV-SNP guests the first access to such a page is fatal.
>
> To ease the backporting, each case is addressed by a separate patch:
> - patch 1 accepts the memory of multi-range CMA areas
> - patch 2 does the same for the fixed CMA areas
>
> The second patch won't apply cleanly to 6.6 and 6.12, but I believe the
> stable team LLMs will take care of that :)
