Is it ever going to be the case that we wind up mixing static and dynamic memory within the same buddy allocator? Reading ahead a bit it would seem pKVM uses separate allocators (i.e. pkvm_hyp_vm::pool for donated memory) but just wanted to make sure. I suppose what I'm getting at is the fact that the pool range makes little sense in this case. Adding a field to hyp_pool describing the type of pool that it is would make this more readable, such that we know a pool contains only donated memory, and thus zero order pages should never be coalesced. > Tested-by: Vincent Donnefort > Signed-off-by: Quentin Perret > Signed-off-by: Will Deacon > --- > arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/page_alloc.c | 5 +++++ > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/page_alloc.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/page_alloc.c > index 1ded09fc9b10..0d15227aced8 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/page_alloc.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe/page_alloc.c > @@ -93,11 +93,15 @@ static inline struct hyp_page *node_to_page(struct list_head *node) > static void __hyp_attach_page(struct hyp_pool *pool, > struct hyp_page *p) > { > + phys_addr_t phys = hyp_page_to_phys(p); > unsigned short order = p->order; > struct hyp_page *buddy; > > memset(hyp_page_to_virt(p), 0, PAGE_SIZE << p->order); > > + if (phys < pool->range_start || phys >= pool->range_end) > + goto insert; > + Assuming this is kept as-is... This check reads really odd to me, but I understand how it applies to the use case here. Perhaps create a helper (to be shared with __find_buddy_nocheck()) and add a nice comment atop it describing the significance of pages that exist outside the boundaries of the buddy allocator. -- Thanks, Oliver _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
