[PATCH 0/2] Small fixes to memblock and nobootmem

[PATCH 0/2] Small fixes to memblock and nobootmem

[Philipp Hachtmann]

While working on the conversion of the s390 port to use memblock and
nobootmem instead of bootmem I discovered two small bugs:

alloc_memory_core_early() in mm/nobootmem.c called memblock_reserve()
without forwarding the return value of memblock_reserve().

free_low_memory_core() (used by free_all_bootmem) in mm/nobootmem.c
already took care of releasing the memblock.reserved array in case
it has been allocated using memblock itself. This behaviour was
missing for memblock.memory.
Cases where memblock.memory grows bigger than the initial 128 entries
have been seen. So this should be supported as well.

[PATCH 1/2] mm, nobootmem: Add return value check in __alloc_memory_core_early()

[Philipp Hachtmann]

When memblock_reserve() fails because memblock.reserved.regions cannot
be resized, the caller (e.g. alloc_bootmem()) is not informed of the
failed allocation. Therefore alloc_bootmem() silently returns the same
pointer again and again.
This patch adds a check for the return value of memblock_reserve() in
__alloc_memory_core().

[PATCH 2/2] mm: free memblock.memory in free_all_bootmem

[Philipp Hachtmann]

When calling free_all_bootmem() the free areas under memblock's
control are released to the buddy allocator. Additionally the
reserved list is freed if it was reallocated by memblock.
The same should apply for the memory list.

Hi Philipp,

For some archs, like arm64, would use memblock.memory after system booting,
so we can not simply released to the buddy allocator, maybe need !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK).

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
	return memblock_is_memory(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(pfn_valid);

Oh, I see. I have added some ifdefs to prevent memblock.memory from
being freed when CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK is not set.

Here is a replacement for the patch.

Kind regards

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: free memblock.memory in free_all_bootmem

When calling free_all_bootmem() the free areas under memblock's
control are released to the buddy allocator. Additionally the
reserved list is freed if it was reallocated by memblock.
The same should apply for the memory list.

Oh, I see. I have added some ifdefs to prevent memblock.memory from
being freed when CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK is not set.

Here is a replacement for the patch.

Kind regards

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: free memblock.memory in free_all_bootmem

When calling free_all_bootmem() the free areas under memblock's
control are released to the buddy allocator. Additionally the
reserved list is freed if it was reallocated by memblock.
The same should apply for the memory list.

I sent similar before.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1556026?do=post_view_threaded#1556026

Also for arches that do not free memblock, do they still need to access
memblock.reserved.regions ?
