Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mm: memblock: fix debugfs flag reporting and synchronization
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 15:51:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820075122.3294367-1-zhaomeijing100@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Meijing Zhao <zhaomeijing@lixiang.com>

The memblock debugfs interface has two issues when reporting region
flags. MEMBLOCK_RSRV_HUGETLB has no corresponding name, and regions
with multiple flags only show the lowest set bit.

In addition, memblock_debug_show() walks the region arrays without
synchronizing against memory hotplug. If memory hotplug grows an array,
the debugfs reader may continue accessing the old array after it has
been freed.

Add the missing HugeTLB flag name, report every set bit including those
beyond flagname[], and hold the memory hotplug read lock while walking
the arrays.

With the series applied, a HugeTLB bootmem reservation is reported as:

  RSV_KERN|RSV_HUGETLB

Changes in v2:
- Report set bits beyond flagname[] as UNKNOWN instead of ignoring them.
- Add a separate patch to synchronize debugfs reads with memory hotplug.
