Subject: [RFC] arm64: mm: update max_pfn after memory hotplug
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 15:54:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1632437225.git.quic_cgoldswo@quicinc.com> (raw)

On arm64 we set max_pfn at boot in arch/arm64/mm/init.c. If you
hotplug in memory after booting up, max_pfn is not updated. This
breaks diagnostic functions executed from user space like
read_page_owner():

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/mm/page_owner.c#L472

or kpageflags_read() (see how get_max_dump_pfn() is used):

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/fs/proc/page.c#L47

Thus, this patch updates max_pfn and max_low_pfn in arm64's
arch_add_memory() function, mirroring what is updatated during boot:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/arch/arm64/mm/init.c#L448

We would appreciate feedback on any other variables that should be
updated when hotplugging in memory - note that we're mirroring x86, in
that max_pfn is only ever incremented when calling arch_add_memory():

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/arch/x86/mm/init_64.c#L958
