Subject: Re: [PATCH 03/22] mm: introduce the common-memory node state
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 07:17:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-214248@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114070959.3490008-4-gourry@gourry.net>
> N_MEMORY is overloaded with two meanings:
> 1) a node has memory.
> 2) a node's memory is reachable via ordinary allocation or
> an arbitrary MM service may use that memory.
>
> Allow N_MEMORY to mean #1, and introduce N_MEMORY_COMMON to mean #2.
>
> N_MEMORY_COMMON nodes contain "common memory" capable of being managed
> arbitrarily by the kernel MM based solely on zone membership. Following
> commits convert relevant N_MEMORY users to N_MEMORY_COMMON.
>
> Add folio_is_common_memory() and page_is_common_memory() for MM services
> that walk folios. Following commits convert folio_is_zone_device() and
> page_is_zone_device() callers accordingly.
>
> Expose the state via `has_common_memory` so userspace can identify
> the memory available to ordinary allocations and common MM services.
>
> Add has_memory to the docs while we're here.
>
> Every node with memory is common, so N_MEMORY_COMMON equals N_MEMORY
> and there is no behavioral change.
